BigDamnTable 10
Years




Character(s): Saori/Athena




Saori stared out over the ocean.
After diner, she had decided to take an evening stroll. Now she stood here, down at the beach, and stared out into the vast expanse of the united sea and sky. Stars twinkled above and were reflected in the water, creating a startling effect.
Her gaze darted upwards and immediately fell on the Pegasus constellation.
Pegasus…
A sting went through her heart as she recalled what had happened twelve years before. When HE had vanished. He, who once had owned the Pegasus Cloth and now was the Sagittarius Gold Saint. He who had been at her side from the very beginning, together with his valiant companions. Where was he? HOW was he? Would he return one day?
Twelve years…
Such a long time.
Her hands clutched the Pegasus Cloth Stone that hung around her neck.
,Seiya…‘
Had already passed twelve years? It seemed almost impossible. How had she born that cruel absence this long? How had she managed to go through such a long time? She didn’t know. And she didn’t care. Still she prayed that one day, she and Seiya would be reunited. It was fully clear to her, however, that this could only happen when Mars was defeated. Strangely, the war god hadn’t made any move ever since that fateful day.
A noise caught her attention. As she rounded some boulders, she saw a figure in the gloom. With a jolt, she realised who it was.
,Koga!‘
He was training. Alone. Secretly, in the dead of night. Saori’s hand clutched the Pegasus Cloth Stone even tighter. A tear streamed down her right cheek.
,Seiya… please guide him. He might become a worthy successor to you as the Pegasus Saint. I pray to the stars he will. And maybe… soon… after all these years…’
She looked at the stars again. She noticed a constellation, just at the horizon, but glowing unusually bright.
Sagittarius.
,Maybe soon…’
Taking place one year before the start of Omega. n.n Geez... thirteen years without Seiya must have been hard for her. And yah... I know, Koga probably wouldn't have dreamed of something like secret extra training. But I thought I might add a nice touch to the story. Guh... and I probably will start illustrating my stories myself. It is so damn hard to find proper pictures. For example, here I wanted a Saori staring into a starry sky, with Seiya's head in it. Or at least the Sagittarius constellation.

I want to see this scene illustrated too! As you say, it's so rare (damn it!) to find propre fanart about them! And this story of yours, the melancholy, the sadness she feels for his absence, the hope in the very bottom of her heart that he, one day, will come back to her... Poor Saori! 13 years are such a tough long period to be separated from him ç__ç
