The goddess and the bronze saint...
"Lucria, wake up!" Saga shook Lucria recklessly.
"No! Ceres! You can't do this!" Lucria cried out struggling to open her eyes.
Saga placed his hand on Lucria's cheek and kissed her which made her calm down, "Lucria...quiet down."
"Nn...Saga?" Lucria opened her eyes and looked at Saga with tears in her eyes.
"You're all right now. You just had a nightmare." Saga smiled sweetly and kissed her again.
Lucria sat up and wrapped her arms around Saga's neck, "Can I take a walk?"
"Yes. If that is what you need to do." Saga said helping Lucria up. "I will accompany you."
"Saga, I'm okay. Go do your business, I will just take a simple walk through the town. You go sponsor the tournament for the Pegasus Cloth." Lucria smiled as she waved good-bye to him.
Lucria glanced at the sky as she headed through the temples cheerfully with out even knowing that she bumped into a silver knight.
"Hey, watch it kid!" Moses said ignorantly as Lucria landed on her butt.
"Heh, I'm not a kid you old cut throat bastard." Lucria spat out forcing Moses to face her.
"Oh, I apologize Lucria! I did not know that it was you." Moses said holding his hand to her.
Lucria took Moses' hand and stood up, "I got to go. Thanks, well I'll see you later."
As Lucria entered the town, she looked at the shops and went towards the arena. "Marin? What are you doing here?"
"For the Pope to not know you are here...you will be punished." Marin said concerned.
Lucria laughed nervously, "Ah, I know that he knows I am out and about I guess. Is that the boy you trained? The short one with the brown hair and eyes?"
"Yes, that's Seiya. He is fighting Cassius right now." Marin said behind her mask.
The fight went on for a short while. Shina turned to Lucria with surprise, "So you sneaked out again didn't you?"
Lucria turned her eyes away, "No. I had to see what the commotion was about with this tournament thing."
"Heh, Seiya is too weak against Cassius but then again Marin trained him." Shina said laughing a bit.
"Seiya is not what you say Shina. You better becareful about your words." Marin warned her.
"Seiya is not going to lose." Lucria smiled as she watched the battle. The battle went on for about an hour until there was one person standing, the young boy covered in blood.
"The victory goes to Seiya. Though he has won the Pegasus clothe, he may now travel back to Japan..." The Pope continued speaking as Seiya was rejoicing his victory. "Now to introduce my wife, Lucria."
"What?" Lucria shouted as the Pope pointed over to her. Lucria blushed in embarrassment and walked through the crowd and into the arena, "This is not appropriate right now."
Seiya took a glance at Lucria and stood straight nervously, "Princess."
Lucria laughed cheerfully, "No, I am not such a thing. I am the Pope's wife though...Seiya I give you congrats to the retrieval of the Pegasus clothe. Let be on your journey back to Japan, tell Princess Sienna that I'll be coming with you just to visit her."
Seiya nodded cheerfully and rubbed his nose, "Of course! I will tell her that. Thanks."
Everyone in the crowd cheered while Shina glared at the two teens in the middle of the arena. The Pope watched Lucria cautiously while she was waving to the crowd with Seiya.
In the Pope's bedroom, Lucria watched Saga take off his head piece and removed his wardrobe. "You called me?" she asked.
"Yes, in fact you should go to Japan with Seiya to make sure that the Pegasus clothe is protected. For this night, I want to share my bed with you." Saga said pulling Lucria closer.
"Saga, let's just sleep tonight." Lucria said leaning her face into his chest. "I just want to sleep."
Arriving to Japan, Seiya escorted Lucria along with the Pegasus clothe to Princess Sienna's mansion. The other bronze knights were there in the living room celebrating for their arrivals. "Thank you for coming Princess Lucria." Sienna said happily as the two girls walked over to the other knights.
"It's a pleasure to be here. The Pope has sent me just to make sure that the Pegasus clothe is in the right hands of a knight." Lucria informed. "You all have been through difficult teachings to obtain your destined clothes. I give you congrats for the victory."
A boy with green hair and green eyes approached, "Princess Lucria. You are a good friend of Princess Sienna's, is this your first time to Japan?"
"Yes, in fact I have just been informed about you all from her. Shun, the Andromeda knight. Seiya, the Pegasus knight. You have all shown that you are strong men. June, you have shown yourself to be a strong woman as a bronze knight. I am proud but beware knights, there is a great evil out there." Lucria said carefully.
All the knights nodded and went on with their own business, Hyoga, Shun, Seiya, and Shiryu stayed. "How old are you anyway?" Seiya asked being cocky.
"Seiya that is pretty rude to ask a woman her age. Besides, Princess Lucria looks around our age." Hyoga snickered.
Lucria watched the two try to guess her age for a while. "Um...actually I am 17. I'm older than all of you." she laughed.
Shun was shocked, "Wait! You are 17 but you look young."
Princess Sienna laughed calmly and shook her head, "Lucria is not embarrassed to tell her age I can see that."
"When did you become the Pope's wife?" Seiya asked curiously as he sat on the couch.
"I was the one chosen to be his wife since I was four years old because of what I was." Lucria frowned at the thought.
"Oh I'm sorry for bringing that up!" Seiya said nervously.
"No. It's not that. I can't remember much exactly." Lucria smiled cheerfully.
"You were born in Greece?" Shun asked.
"Yes, well if you could say found there." Lucria answered.
"You seem familiar with Greece pretty well, you should visit Siberia. It is a cold place but you would love it." Hyoga said, "My master was there training me."
"Camus?" Lucria said the name causing Hyoga to be amused.
"Yeah, he was my master when it came to training me to become the Cygnus knight. You met him?" Hyoga questioned.
"Yep, he is the one in the aquarius temple. He's cool to talk to." Lucria said.
