The Mainstay...
"Heh, you should remember?" Julian chuckled. Lucria gave him a discouraged look. "I was the one who originally trapped you inside. You were so beautiful with your plants growing in the water."
Lucria gasped as she remembered a flashback where Ceres was waist high in the water. Her long pale colored hair was floating on the water's surface. Poseidon stood looking through the only window that was placed on the mainstay wall.
"It is a sight isn't it, Lucria?" Julian said snapping Lucria out of a daze. "Go die somewhere." she scolded. "Oh how thoughtful of you. Sea Dragon shall be happy with you as his prize. You are the fiesty one out of the two." Julian commented as he shoved Lucria into the Sea Dragon temple's steps.
"Damn it. Don't touch me you bastard. To think that-" Lucria was interrupted by the Sea Dragon's approach. "So it is you princess Lucria of Greece. You are beautiful and to think Saga the Gemini loved you." he spoke cold-hearted. Lucria's eyes widened as she looked at the general. "How do you know about Saga?" she asked.
"Heh, it doesn't matter." Sea Dragon smirked. This made Lucria uneasy. As she took a step away, Julian glared at her with a strange look on her face. "Don't you dare." Lucria growled. "Of course I wouldn't dare touch you princess but I can not say that about Sea Dragon. He seems to desire you sexually from what he has told me." Julian laughed.
"WHAT?!" Lucria shouted as she punched Sea Dragon in the face with out hesitation. "What the hell have you been telling everyone damn it?! Screw that, I want Princess Sienna back and this stupid rain to stop. Or someone will face hell!" Lucria rasped as her cosmos sparked through out the temple.
"No can do." Sea Dragon chuckled as he rubbed his cheek. "You have a nice right hook though. I see that the dead bastard taught you well. Let's see if he taught you how to cease wild cosmos." Sea Dragon grabbed Lucria by the wrist causing her cosmos to calm down. "Sea Dragon, I will be on my way now. Please make sure that Lucria stays here in this temple and does not leave unless you permit her to." Julian ordered before he left.
"Ceres...?"
"Ceres...please say something."
"Damn it...why can't I reach you?"
"Tell me this Sea Dragon. What is your real name and why did you want me here?" Lucria asked realizing that she wasn't able to reach Ceres easily through thoughts. "That is none of your business princess. Although, you should tell me about the current events in your life for which the Gemini knight died." Sea Dragon insisted.
Lucria sighed, "I don't want to talk about my husband's death. It isn't any of your business anyway so just drop it." Sea Dragon watched Lucria walk around the place. "Sea Dragon...you still haven't told me your true name." she spoke softly.
"Heh, there's no need." Sea Dragon sat down on his throne. Lucria stood in front of him silently. "I remember now..."

(beginning of flashback)
"Come on you guys." Lucria shouted happily as she ran through the Gemini temple. Two people were chasing her.
"Give me a break Lucria. You need to get some sleep." Saga spoke calmly. Lucria shook her head "no" without looking back and jumped onto a pedistal. She continued to leap from one pedistal to the other with ease. "You can't catch me!" She laughed as she sat down.
"Lucria if you don't get down, you're going to get hurt." Someone else spoke. He was wearing a blue tunic with white pants and he looked just like Saga. His eyes were different though. They weren't sad like Saga's at all.
"Nuh uh. I wanna stay up here. I like being this high in the air...!" Lucria smiled as she looked down at the two as the pedistal began to shake.
"Lucria!" The other one shouted as Lucria slipped from the pedistal began falling.
"Ahh! Help me!" The little girl said as she closed her eyes in fear.
