Hi!!

here's another part of my fic (it's rather short too but the next part, Gal's pov, will be waaaaa~ay longer so don't worry) All for all, I still have like 7 pages to type up...

'ny way, enjoy the story!


Author's notes: I work with the TV series in this fic so Crystal is Hyoga's Master, not Camus. and that's about it, the begining might be a bit disturbing but if it can make you feel better: it's as disturbing for the characters as it is for you ^^;;;;;

Disclaimers: no, I do not own the Saint Seiya characters they belong to Kurumada-sensei and if I did have any money I'd be bribing Kurumada sensei to write the Heaven chapter hehe...

Seiya:

She's dead. Her head had hit a tree and her neck broke. I can hear laughter, her murderer's laughter. I want to find and kill him: how could he do that to Gal? I am so angry when I suddenly realize that it's me who's laughing. I look at my hands; there's blood on them, Gal's blood. I'm disgusted, confused, terrified, angry and strangely satisfied all at once. The moment I realize that I'm wearing the Pegasus Cloth it leaves me, as if disapproving my actions, and goes to cover her dead body. I...did I? ...Did I really just? ...The Cloth...Gal...no...which one? ...I'll...I'll lose them both...I can't! No! ...I think I'm becoming hysterical...

I wake up in cold sweat: the nightmare. Again. It's not the first time that I dream about killing Gal. Each time I go to her straight after I wake, to make sure she's fine. Why though? I don't, can't, understand those dreams. All right, so I *do* feel bad when she's hurt during training but it's either that or she'll die in real battle. So that's not what's torturing my conscience. And I *never* wanted to kill her! Why then?

This is so frustrating: I hate not understanding myself! I know that those dreams are a warning of some sort, but against what?

I arrive to Gal's room; she's all right. I look at her: she's almost thirteen now. It's been five years since I found her and Saori let me train her for the Pegasus Cloth. She definitely learns faster than me: Gal's basically ready to take the test. I think that she's also a lot stronger than I was when I won the Cloth.

It makes me wonder about trying for the Sagittarius Cloth, I'm too used to the Pegasus Cloth. Actually, even Saori isn't sure whether it's possible to change one's cloth. I'm sure it isn't. But, as Saori said, we *desperately* need new Gold Saints, so I have to, at least, try. Right now there is only Kiki as the Aries Saint, but all the Gold Cloths returned from Hades' realm to their original places. Which means that they'll have to be found again.

I'm sure that Kiki knows where they are; Mu thought him that much, but he'd never tell anyone. Except when finding the cloth isn't part of the Test...

The Test! That reminds me: I really need to find an appropriate Test for Gal! She couldn't win the Cloth fighting like I did because the simply isn't anyone she can fight against at the moment. Plus it would be such a waste not to give her a chance to get a Cloth. I suppose that she could fight against me, but that wouldn't be fair since I'm, like the others, much stronger than any saint *should* be.

Anyway, I'm sure she'll pass any test that I'll make her go through, she'll win the Cloth and then...and then I'll be just like Hyoga's master: a retired Saint with no real Cloth...

But now is not the time to think about such things, tomorrow I'll talk to Kiki about a suitable test and also about the Cloth's problem. I mean, now the Pegasus Cloth is even stronger than a Gold Cloth: it's got Athena's blood in it.

I guess it's better for me to just go back to sleep now, hopefully with no more nightmares.
