Hi!
as promised the next part of my fic (it's a bit shorter than the last one)
Here's a tiny explanation for those how didn't read the other mails: when I wrote this fic, I couldn't invent good names for places and people (I still can't, actually). So I figured I could call the places and people names in a language no one understands and it'll work! So I gave some names that are words in my first language which is Hebrew (I speak 4 and 1/4 languages, go me!). Here are the translations:
- Yii (pronounced "i" as in "in" ^^V) means 'island' in Hebrew (how creative ^^;;;;;;;;;;;). In the story it's an island not far from Japan (you'll all suspend your disbelief and pretend that it exists...)
- Gal is a very common name (has always been, will always be), it means wave, water wave, and it's very androgynous (as in: when I was kid I had 3 friend named Gal - 2 girls and 1 boy). Galith is 'derived' from Gal, it's more 'feminine'.
- Galith means "little wave" and it was a popular name for girls not very long ago (it's the kind of name you don't like being called once you're more than 8 years old)
- oh yeah, Gal is a normal human being she isn't an alien or anything. if she is, she never told me!
there, now that that's done with on with the fic!
disclaimer: Saint Seiya belongs to Kurumada-sensei and whoever else owns it, I'm just messing up with the characters. I'm not making any money out of this, if I did I'd use it to buy those really cool sparkly postcards of the bronze saints that I saw at the store, so don't sue me!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Gal:
They obviously don't understand what I was talking about. I know that not many people heard of Yii and its customs. I just hope that I can trust them. Well, I obviously can't run away anymore.
"You don't get it, do you? I'll start from the beginning then: my name is Galith, but I prefer Gal, and I come from Yii. Yii is a little island at, more or less, a three days' swim Southwest of here. There is a tradition there that when kids turn 10 they have to leave for the sea. They have to swim for three days and they only have a water container that has water for that long.
I'm very strong see, and they *had* to let me pass the Final Test. They weren't too happy about it though: usually girls don't do it. Girls don't learn how to fight either but I was very strong see, stronger than the boys even!"
They don't seem convinced. "Why were you on your stomach?"
"I didn't get to that part yet! See, I'm one of the specials. Usually when you go to sea overnight you wake at dawn so you don't get a sunburn, right? But the special ones can hold their breath longer, so when we wake we concentrate on the Gift and then get an hour or so more sleep with our faces down!"
Neat huh? The man sure seems to think so: he looks really excited, like he just got a huge present.
"How old are you? Are there any others with this 'Gift'? Did anyone teach you how to do other things with it?"
Wow..."I'm eight and a half, not that are anywhere near my age and no."
The man looks very happy and is about to say something but the woman
interrupts him:
"Why did you run away?"
"I already told you! They didn't like me 'cos I was better than the boys"
"What about your parents?"
"I don't have any"
"Do you want to come with us?" Both of them said that at the same time.
Seiya:
So she knows the basics of Cosmo! She has potential!
Seika looks at me funny, probably because we both asked the same question at the same time. I shrug: "She definitely doesn't want to go back and I could ask Saori if I can train her" I turn to gal "so, do you want to come?"
She seems to consider the offer for a little while.
"Only if you promise not to force me to go back!"
"We do!"
"OK then."
"So it's time for official presentations, isn't it? I'm Seiya and this is my sister, Seika."
"Hello"
"I think that I can help you to develop your 'Gift', as you call it. That is, if you want, of course. You have great potential."
She agrees and I start explaining to her about Athena and her Saints. She looks fascinated, which is a good thing.
Now to convince Saori...

sorry for this part being so short but the rest of the fic isn't typed up yet...
Hila my back hurts!
T-chan if you'd sit correctly on your chair...
Hila my eyes hurt!
T-chan if you'd concentrate on _writing_ your fic instead of reading other people's...
Hila my finger hurts!
T-chan from what? from clicking on your mouse?
Hila aren't you supposed to be on _my_ side?
T-chan nope
Hila then who _is_ on my side?
T-chan well, considering that I'm not and that Ariane is wa~y too
intelligent to be ... well ... that leaves Daniel...
Hila but he's no fun when neither you nor Ariane are arround!
T-chan your problem
Hila *holds out sign* "muse for sale, not expensive"
ok...that was kind of pointless...c&c please? *puppy eyes*
