Darkness of the Past

Part 2

Nine months later:

As a black carriage stopped in front of a small cottage in the bitter winter, a girl dressed in a thick black velvet dress stepped out. As she walked through the deep dull snow, her black cloak blew in the sharp wind. Pandora knocked the door lightly, and let herself in.

There sat in front of the fireplace was Partita, holding a bundle in her arms and her husband, Youma behind her. Partita was startled by the cold and looked up to see Pandora standing in the doorway, hooking up her damp cloak.

"Oh, Pandora-sama, what a surprise to see you here during the middle of the night, please come and warm your-self up near the fire." Partita handed the baby to Youma and got up from the rocking chair to lead Pandora towards the fireplace. As Pandora warmed herself, Youma spoke, "May we know Pandora-sama, why are you here during a blizzary night?"

"Well, I heard that Partita was due last week, but because I was busy, I decided to come today." Pandora answered. Her eyes fell onto baby Tenma in Youma's arms and her face lit up. "May I see Tenma?" Pandora politely asked.

"Yes, yes, of course Pandora-sama," Partita took the little infant and sat on the rocking chair fr Pandora to see. The excited girl leaned over to get a better look and saw the baby sleeping peacefully, although kicking in the blanket at the same time. Pandora couldn't help but lightly poked Tenma's cheek in curiosity. "His cheek is so soft and warm," Pandora exclaimed, hovering over the infant more. "I can't wait till he grows up, then my sister and him will be close as best friends! Of course we have to wait for until Christmas Day. " she blabbed.

"Your sister?" Youma asked in surprise. Partita also looked at Pandora with a questioning look.

"Well, I don't know if it's a girl or a boy. I don't know until Christmas day, that's the day when my other sibling will be born. I'm so excited to see it!"

"We are all anxiously waiting!" Partita agreed. "How about this, if it's a boy, lets have Tenma and him shall be as brothers. If it's a girl, then we will arranged a marriage?" she suggested. Pandora's eyes widened. "Sounds great!" As Partita and Pandora laughed and giggled, they hadn't notice Youma's face darkened about the statement.

Friends? Marriage? My son and her sibling? I will not allow it! I'm surprised that Hypnos and Thanatos didn't tell her that who is her sibling really is. But this happened over and over. Pandora will have a brother and he will fight my son, the future Pegasus saint along with Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom. Now where's the fun in that? History repeating itself is nothing! This era need a scene, an act, stages, and of course actors. The child will be born on Christmas day, the soul of Hades!

I will stop the boring ring of fate between Pegasus, Athena, and Hades. When I implant my droplets, it will take years for it to activate. Maybe thirteen or fifteen years later. Now it would still be boring if I just implant the droplets into Hades and Pegasus's soul, and that's where the other characters come in. I just need the right people.

See if he can do anything about it. He maybe a god, and the father of Zeus, but now he has no power to stop me from what I am going to do. Lets just say this is a hateful thanks from your younger brother, Chronos!

" Youma? Youma, are you alright?" Youma snapped out of his thoughts and looked down to see his wife's worried face.

"Yes, yes I'm alright. I'm just thinking Tenma and Pandora's sibling future and how it will turn out." He then realized Pandora had already left.

"A bright future, that's what will happen, a new one." Partita whispered. Partita knew the time has come to get ready for a new holy war and what will happen, to her and her son's future. She decided to leave everything and take her son away from the evil and darkness that will soon take over the cottage. Leaving her husband and innocent Pandora behind in order to keep Tenma, the Pegasus saint of the 18th century untainted by the death and darkness of Hades. Partita made her move on Christmas day, knowing her son's future is on the line. The day Partita left was also the day when the incarnation of Hades was born, and taken away by a specter.
