I'm back!! Wow, its been FOREVER,since I updated on this site. Okay so I was avoiding doing my homework, so I started a really random story. I have no idea where this is going so input is welcome. I also don't know if this story will get sexual or not.. if it does, I will probably edit the version for this site and put another copy of it on (its not there yet, so don't look! ) Reviews would be fantastic, but hey, I can't expect all too much, I mean it has been like 2 years since I signed onto this account.
Anyway... please enjoy, and note that this story can get dark. And is based after the completetion of the Heaven Arc.
Disclaimer: I do not own Saint Seiya. The man who's name I forgot does, and he is god.
To Begin The World Anew
Chapter 1: My World, Full of Darkness and Tears
Sand whirled around the salty air. There was no one else at the beach. She sat toes buried in the sand, the loose parts of her white dress swirled gently around her legs. The ocean waves lapped at the shoreline and rapped around her ankles, causing the white fabric which it touched to darken. A few cottonish white clouds marred the blue sky, but the sun shone brilliantly down on the water, reflecting everywhere in small rainbows. She watched dolphins play about a hundred meters out, jumping out of the water and causing splashes. A small smile graced her features despite what was going on in the world around her.
"Sister." A voice cried tentatively from behind her, as if worried to disrupt her peace, "Brother is awaiting your decision."
Saori looked over her shoulder at her blonde haired half sister, Artemis, before slowly picking herself off the sandy surface "Tell Apollo that I will be there momentarily."
Artemis nodded curtly, not at all enjoying her current status."Alright" she muttered before disappearing.
Saori sighed and took one final look at the happy dolphins before turning and watching the beach, envious of their happiness.
It had been five years since the utter defeat of Athena and her saints. Everyone had perished, Apollo had spared no human life. The gold saints remained imprisoned within the stone of the new earthly Olympus, and all of the bronze saints rested peacefully in the underworld.
She, Athena, had been unable to do anything to prevent this defeat. Although she tried desperately to heal and protect Seiya, she had inevitably been to weak to save him from Apollo's wrath against mankind. He had died, in her arms, and she still had the blood stained dress to prove it.
After Seiya's death, Hyoga, Shiryu, Shun, and Ikki had quickly fallen, for they had no hope to light their way. And Saori could only watch the onslaught through tear stained eyes.
In those five years she had never smiled at another human figure. All of the other gods had been resurrected, including both Hades and Poseidon, and the human race, had been wiped out. Some managed to avoid the initial massacre of the Gods, but Apollo made it his personal mission to see that every single human was dead and their remnants extinguished. Since the extinction of that species, many things reverted to their natural states. Forests regrew in places where preschooler's bodies joined with the earth. Animals grazed on grass that flourished due to mother and baby's corpses.
Although nature flourished and the earth once again began to be beautiful, Saori couldn't help but cry at every thing that held memories. But she had to be careful, Apollo and Zeus both believed that Saori Kido was gone, and that only Athena remained, and was grieving over her saints. In part it was that, because she did care for all those that protected her, but she was also crying for all of the innocent souls that died due to the Gods misinterpretation of the world.
Saori often sat upon that beach, the one where tourists used to visit to view the magnifancy of the wild ponies. An island off the coast of what used to be Virginia and Maryland was now barren, and the ponies which had so eagerly shown off to the humans, wandered around the island still confused of to where their audience had gone. Other animals too had noticed the disruption in their circle of the world. Domesticated dogs and cats wandered around aimlessly, most of them simply looking for someone to love them, or their personal someone who loved them. That someone who would never come back.
The gods had originally thought that animals would revert to their primal instincts without the presence of humans, but that love was hard to erase. Therefore, they decided that something must be done. The 12 Olympian Gods debated and Zeus had chosen to let Apollo reshape the human race. Apollo was just about to put a new species of human onto the earth, to evolve and grow, and allow mother Gaia to flourish as well. Although he had lead the destruction, Apollo still cared for his sister, and offered to Athena to bring back one person. He had given her a week to make her decision. That week had now passed, a week in which Saori had gone over all of her precious saints in her head.
Seiya was the first one she considered. However he was the most quickly rejected. Saori had realized soon after he died, that she loved Seiya, but like a brother. Because his soul was now resting in piece she was reluctant to revive him into a world in which he would defiantly rebel against, and probably die again, making his revival pointless.
The same was with the other Bronze saints. She saw no point in resurrecting them when their souls were resting peacefully in the underworld. Therefore her attention turned to the Gold Saints. Reviving a Gold Saint had many advantages. The seal on the column would be released and the remaining saints would be able to finally rest in piece. Plus they had not battled nearly as much as the Bronze saints and were more calm when analyzing a situation. They might be able to help her. Plus...
Saori sighed and transported herself to Olympus Greece, ready to tell Apollo her decision.
Reviews are nice...
