An Arcangel...
"Something wrong?" Lucria looked at Canon with worry. Canon didn't seem like he had an answer as he stared out the window. "You and the bronze knights, you are close to them aren't you?" he asked. "Yeah. They've protected me along with Athena. I gave them my trust and they did the same." Lucria said happily. "..." Canon didn't make a remark. "Canon, if there is something you are trying to prove then spill it out already?" Lucria smiled. "The next battle we know will be with Hades and many people will die. Are you sure that you want to still be considered in this situation?" Canon questioned. "I am Ceres...so I must do what I can to help the saints." Lucria said sadly. Lucria fell on her knees and started breathing heavily. "Shit, I knew that the battle against Poseidon would get me in the ass." Lucria scolded.
Canon ran over to Lucria and picked her up, "You always seem to strain yourself too much. I'm sorry." "Shut up." Lucria gently slapped Canon on the chest. Canon placed Lucria on the bed and sat beside her. "Canon, you care for me like Saga did..." Lucria closed her eyes. Canon chuckled as he placed on hand on Lucria's foot, "Are you still ticklish?" "Wha? Don't start that shit with me now Canon. I wanna sleep peacefully. Mu is outside that door and he will kick your ass if you mess with me." Lucria nagged as she turned away from him. "Lucria, go to sleep. I'll keep watch." Canon said softly. "Of what? Me or my ass?" Lucria commented. "Both." Canon laughed.

"Shion, why don't we have some fun?" Ceres questioned cheerfully as she stood up. "But Ceres...? You aren't allowed to leave the sanctuary. It was Athena's order." Shion said a bit worried as Ceres danced around. "Come on Shion, I'll be fine and I won't get killed just because I didn't listen to her. We are good childhood friends and she trusts my decisions. Now come on." Ceres said pulling Shion off the ground. Shion blushed faintly and Ceres smiled cheerfully. "We should go out and explore what is beyond the sanctuary Shion!" Ceres said before she kissed Shion's cheek. "Let's go." "Ceres, don't rush. I will go where ever you will go, but this must be accepted by Athena." Shion sighed. Ceres tackled Shion and they rolled over the hillside.
"Shion." Ceres placed a hand on Shion's cheek. "Your eyes are pretty..." she smiled. "Uh..." Shion blushed as Ceres kissed him gently. "Ceres..." Shion wrapped his arms around her. "Shion this world will fall one day due to the gods anger...but I promise that I will try to save many humans as I can along with Athena." Ceres thought as she closed her eyes.

A few hours had past and Lucria had woken up with Canon holding her in his arms. Their clothes were still on and Canon had his lips against Lucria's forehead. "Canon...your soft." Lucria mumbled as she kissed the opening of his shirt exposing his chest. "I knew you still loved me Lucria." Canon whispered as he held Lucria closer. "Canon..." Lucria tried to speak. "I am not going to have sex with you...not until you are ready to or at least hunger for it." Canon smiled. "Shut it..." Lucria growled as Canon ran his fingers through Lucria's hair. The sky grew dark and the stars glistened brightly. "It's pretty outside." Canon complimented. Lucria looked out the window, "It is." "You better sleep if you want to catch up on rest." Canon smiled. "I know...but-" Lucria chuckled until she noticed a black shooting star. She sat up slowly in amazement and then turned to Canon, "Stay here. I got to check up on the rest of the knights."
Lucria ran through the hallways as Mu followed her. "Gather everyone Mu. I saw something dangerous and everyone must heed warning." Lucria ordered. "Yes!" Mu agreed. In the grand ball room, all the bronze knights, the remaining silver and gold knights arrived. Canon stayed behind Lucria and Sienna trying to not get in anyone's way. Aurora and ?lair were there too. "Something isn't right." Sienna said. "There was a black shooting star out tonight. It must be a warning." she finished. "..." Lucria tried to think. Shun approached her. "Lucria, have you seen one of these things before?" he asked.
"No..." she answered. "Of course you haven't my dear original." A voice called out from the distance and everyone turned to the figure hidden in the dark. "Who are you?!" Shun shouted as he stepped in front of Lucria. "Heh, none of your business...little boy." A girl appeared in front of everyone. She looked exactly like Lucria except the fact she had dark purple colored armor on with short hair. "Damn it...I didn't think you would come back." Lucria muttered as the girl gave her a grin. "Ceres. Athena. It seemed that you both have a different look in this era. Hope Hades doesn't ruin those pretty faces." The girl laughed.
