Once the darkness of Saturday night takes over the last glimmer of the sunset, the roadsides of the Aegean seaside come to life with the shimmer of the streetlights and the hustle of the nightclubs. International tourists from various parts of the globe flock to the place, creating a cacophony of different languages as they rejoice their last moments in the day before the night descends.

The atmosphere of this place was distinct from that of Sanctuary; the aroma of wine, the fragrance of perfume, and the smoke of cigarettes combined in the air seemed to effortlessly foster chemistry and drama.

''Jo, please don't go, just listen to me..."Before Deathmask started explaining himself, he received a big slap from a brunette lady who was just about to stand in front of him, and a glass of whiskey splashed all over his face. The woman has left angrily, making everyone around them watch, and the poor guy is just standing there alone at a loss, reeking of alcohol.

"You should sort out your life, Cancer; if your mental state continues to be such a mess, you may lose your qualification as a gold knight. '' Shura, who was not far away from him, lowered his voice and reminded him carefully, while Deathmask looked at the Pisces knight Aphrodito, who was sitting alone and tasting his wine peacefully on the other side but kept being approached by bunches of women around him.

Even if most of the gold knights are much stronger than ordinary people in every way, they are still just normal human beings with men's desires, so Sanctuary adopts an attitude of turning a blind eye to such things while some of them hang out and get laid from time to time, which is relatively easy for them. Still, no one dares to reveal their true identity to the girls they met unexpectedly from bars or to commit to anyone of them. However, The Sanctuary does not explicitly prohibit marriage and relationships among knights, they also strongly discouraged it due to the sole reason for their existence: to protect the peace of this world and to devote their mind and body to Athena, especially those gold knights with the highest rank and most arduous tasks.

Except for the Sagittarius, Gemini warriors who passed away or disappeared, also Mu and Dohko, who stayed away from the Sanctuary most of the time, Shaka, who practised asceticism, and Aiolia, who was pretty much hot-headed, the rest of the Knights were regular visitors of different degrees for this street, but Camus is not here for fun. He never liked to join in the noisy crowd but rather be a bystander as a way to relax his tense nerves quietly or occasionally Discuss with his friend Milo about the playing levels of the singers and small bands that participated in each open mic night, such as which interesting chord substitution they played, which classic song was re-arranged in an impressive specific way, or which drummer they could play Air-drums together try to imitate that wonderful off-beat drum-beat, besides this bar is also invested by Sanctuary, it is natural for him to come and help out sometimes.

Nevertheless, they were still uncertain of how many sunrises they could witness the following day,so they had no choice but to take pleasure in the present. Everyone was making the most of the last tranquil moments, having fun, drinking and partying before the upcoming storm since some gold saints from far away places had been called by Sanctuary more and more recently.

Accompanied by the sound of some rusty acoustic guitar strings, Aldebaran's bright and breathtaking voice came from the small open mic night stage. He is about to sing Elvis Presley's classical tune, "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You." Like the previous Taurus warriors, he also has a good singing voice, which makes the ladies in the audience scream out in admiration. and a girl Standing under the stage still fixedly presents flowers for him.

Camus leaned on the bartender's table and listened calmly, sometimes humming harmonize softly along with aldebaran's singing.

"Excuse me, do you speak English? "

A dark-haired woman with smoky-eye makeup sat at the seat closest to Camus at the bar table.

"Yes. what can I get ya?"

"Great. So, If you were an alcohol, what would you be? Just hit me with your best shot if I want anything you give me."

The girl was just about to hold an unlit cigarette between her fingertips and looked at him with interest.

"Oh well, I'd say ICE BREAKER if you don't mind ".Camus respond

"To be honest, you are attractive, And I see you don't have a ring on your finger. So, can I have your number,please?''

"I'm sincerely flattered, but..." After hearing this, Camus stopped all the works, resting his hands on the table and raised his head to face the woman, refused in a solemn manner:

"It was our policy in-house that no private information be shared with patrons, and I enforced it strictly."

"At what time do you get off?"

" I have to work until close at around 2:00 am and then spend an hour restocking, counting my till, and cleaning. "

"It doesn't bother me since I used to stay awake the whole night till morning. What will you do after work tonight? Let's get some time...for a hangout, then.

"Sorry, ma'am, I'm a busy single parent trying to work hard just for a living. And I don't have any plans to make time for dates yet."

''I don't mind..."The woman stood up slightly to get closer to Camus and said softly:

"I can make just a one-night stand at my place.and I get everything prepared... "

"Can I buy you a drink? "

Before Camus started talking, Milo suddenly appeared beside the Girl: "How about Martini?"

The woman looked at Milo; then she saw a stylish man dressed like Axl, the lead singer of Guns N' Roses, and responded: "Yep, can do that."

"How was your day been?"

"Not bad I guess. I'm here for tourism. Just get out of the hotel and have a look around. "

"So what should I call you? "

"Emily."

"How coincidence, I'm Emilio. It looks like our names make a perfect pair. Nice to meet you, Emilie." Milo shook the woman's hand and finished introducing himself

''Nice to meet you too, Emilio, by the way. Are you all locals? You don't sound like locals at all. '' the woman asked.

''I am. After all, there are so many overseas tourists around in a place like this. How can you make a living if you don't speak good English? Right, where are you from, Emily? ''

Milo took the glass from Camus and handed it to Emily, also picking up a drink himself.

''United States."

"Where about's? ''

''Melbourne, Florida.''

''Isn't that where Jim Morrison came from? That's cool. ''

''Yeah, do you like Jimmie? ''

''Oh Yes, I'm a fan of The Doors. ''

''No wonder your hairstyle looks so much like you're one of those nasty rock stars. ''

''Wow!I take that as a compliment!"

The two of them shared a drink and had a good time, even raising their glasses together and jumping onto the dance floor until Milo escorted the drunk Emily out of the club, hailing a cab and letting her kissed hugged him before he managed to drop her off to finally get back to the bar table.

''had fun? '' Camus looked at Milo and said jokingly

''Well, well, well, I managed to get rid of an annoying customer for you without making her complain, and not only were you not being grateful, but you made fun of me instead.''

"Really? More like I might be a pretty awesome wingman. "

"You're such a wingman that you almost made me hangover for the night. "

"Why do I feel that I'm the one who should apologize to you for not being conscientious enough as a proper wingman. I can tell she is your type. If it wasn't for that I'm still standing here. I'm afraid you would have already gone to her hotel room, happy ever after. "

"Anyway, nothing more to say since I didn't go with her. But seriously, how come such a hot chick hit on you, but you were being indifferent? Funny how you've been receiving a bunch of numbers every day but never seen you bring any girl home."

"I was too busy, that's why."

" Oh yeah? Busy for what? Babysitting?"

" Work, of course. What else could it be."

"Well, I just assumed You're in the same abstinence program as that Virgo guy I heard of. Or are you so involved in training the cute little apprentice that made you think you're actually a babysitter already? A busy single Dad. What kind of excuse is that to turn down a woman?Unless, Oh my gosh, could that be you are secretly gay? You should told me that if it's the ca..."

"Hey shut up, Milo.I suggest you to.having a glass of iced water to sober you up. ''

''Actually, I'm not 100 per cent talking nonsense. I care about you as a friend and colleague. Just think about it,It won't do any good if you suppress yourself like this.''

"Thanks for the care but I didn't suppress myself that much. More like there were too many things to deal with, and I didn't want anything that distracted me from setting my priorities at this moment.''

''Are you sure you're alright?" Milo asked with concern at this time ''By the way, I've noticed that you don't look well for a while, look at the dark circles under your eyes, I really don't know what you've been doing, but maybe you need a break."

"I literally have rest right now. Working here from time to time is like taking breaks from duties, Don't worry about it. You know me, if I'm doing nothing and don't keep busy, I can't help but go woolgathering, which makes everything worse.''

''Having a Break is not for doing nothing, but doing something else you don't usually do to distract yourself from the stresses. ''

''I know that for sure, but I couldn't find anything to distract myself from at the moment, so I simply stopped looking for it.''

"It sounds like OCD symptoms or Anxiety for me."

"It probably is."

"Have you ever tried Speaking to therapists or something?"

"I don't need to. I am too familiar with their diagnostic procedures. It will be ended up with nothing more than given prescriptions. I'd go to talk to the Pope if there are problems. I'd be fine"

" Ok, I hope so. Anyway, how's your apprentices been doing now? has he been a good boy?"

"He is about in his rebellious period of youth, but I have no problem with him, at least most of the time...most of..."

Unexpected，Camus felt that strange but familiar cosmos once again. It was closer this time, unprecedentedly close to him. It's not the first time he felt it since he was called by Sanctuary to come here to work part-time. He only thought it was an illusion or hallucination the first few times. After all, he always thought the atmosphere of a nightclub was supposed to make him feel like this, but it keeps happened constantly and gradually became more and more frequent as time went by. He began to suspect that it was definitely not a coincidence or illusion. It was not like the cosmos of knights or any human antagonists, more like non-human, maybe from some kind of deities, because it doesn't feel particularly evil and even makes him think a comfortable bit more sometimes. Still, it might not be the same as the goddess from the Sanctuary, and it definitely not belongs to their side either. He had always wanted to find the culprit, but he had never been able to locate it successfully. His curiosity and vigilance were intensely aroused now that it was close at hand. He struggled to lock target on a woman with wavy blonde hair in the farthest corner from his bar table. She was fashionably dressed and had a graceful silhouette. The bar lights were not bright enough, and the lady lowered her peaked cap so that her face could not be seen clearly.

She was sitting there alone, and it took less than a while until some guys in the bar started passing drinks to her, but Camus didn't intend to start a fight right now.

"Can you feel it? '' Camus whispered to Milo.

"Feel What? "

"The Cosmo that I suspect it could be an intruder nearby."

"Is it possible for an intruder to come to a place like this? I don't feel it. Can you rule out any possibility of hallucinations due to your mental stress? "

"I can't. But this has happened more than once, so I strongly doubt it."

Suddenly the woman left her seat, walked to the jukebox, and put in a coin, Joan Jett's "I Love Rock and Roll" started playing in the club,then she took off her black leather jacket, revealing the low-cut tight camisole with a bohemian-style dropped necklace on top that clearly set off her unbelievably curvaceous figure. Afterwhile, she walked into the crowd of people, stepped onto the dance floor to move her alluring body and grinding on the guys that kept coming around her. Then she shook her shining blonde hair through the music as she showed off and squandered her beauty recklessly. Apparently, this woman was the one who quickly got attention from all the guys in the room.

When she got closer until Camus could see a bit clearer, His eyes widened in wonder as he saw:

"Na...Natassia?"

Although her face was covered by heavy makeup, and there were differences in body shape, dressing style and demeanour, he could still tell their appearance and hair were the same.

How could it be her? Isn't she already died years ago and sank into the cold deep water of Siberia??? Could it be that he is about to see a ghost???

He quickly walked towards the mysterious woman to get a better look, but she left the bar in a hurry.

"damn it! ''

Camus ran to the street after passing through the bar crowd to find out the woman had disappeared without a trace. He doesn't know what to do next but looks around and finds a woman with a similar view of her back. Camus walked up to recognize her rashly, only to discover it was not her. He had to prevaricate by admitting he had mistaken the lady for someone else, but suddenly he seemed to realize something.

"I finally get it's not that you don't have desires for women, but you set your standards too high. That chick is way more than 10/10. "Milo slowly came after him and communicated with his seventh sense.

Camus turned around, kept a distance from Milo as much as possible and warned in a lower voice.

"Hey, you should stay away from me while im here in the future, Milo. I may have been exposed to potential enemies and be targeted. If I didn't wear my gold cloth, I'd better only go here. Now I can't let you be exposed. Don't let other deities discover and break through the invisible barrier that sanctuary creates,just in case."

"We should heading back to the bar first then we talk about it,but seriously if she is the Enemy,its not that bad if i died in her hand"
