Running across the temples, he managed to reach quick the one where everything has happened. There was many saints there. Aiolos was wearing casual clothes, but he was carrying his cloth box in the back.
"What happened?" he asked to noone in particular, seeing all the destruction.

Kanon knew his brother's temper well enough to keep his mouth shut on the topic of Ares. He cast a sideways look at the newly arrived Aiolos. "No rest for the weary," he answered flatly, "we've been attacked again."
With a sigh, he turned his eyes back to his twin. "What does it matter?" he asked, "For now, we don't know anything and a guessing will only create more fear." His eyes barely flickered to Elektra, a small pang of compassion rising over the initial irritation he had felt at her outburst. The idea of Ares as their enemy was unnerving at best, but he would not lose himself to those fears until he had actually seen the war god himself. If it even WAS Ares. Kanon added self-denial to his list of shared traits.
Elektra closed her eyes and focused her energy long enough to chase the shadows from her mind. Saga was right. It was not necessarily Ares that they were facing. No need to lose herself over memories and nightmares, but that careful control of her emotions went spinning away again when Aiolos burst into the room. For the first time she could remember, Elektra was grateful for having to wear a mask. No need to make herself seem more of a fool than she already had, especially over someone that would not even know who she was.

"Of course, we cannot guess it would be any war god. Even a goddess of beauty may start to wish to destroy what we have now and create something more beautiful." He said in a softer voice. There were just too many gods who would go against Athena. Leaning his form into the column of his temple he looked at everyone. His face seemed to soften when he saw Aiolos. "Put the cloth on, Aiolos for soon we shall be fighting a war itself, it seems."

Aiolos just noticed. In his hurry to see what was happening, he let his cloth in the box. Walk on the sacred land of the temples without it could be considered a lack of respect for his partners.
He sighed, let the box on the floor, and opened it. With a burst of light, the Sagittarius Gold Cloth emerged from it and, piece to piece, formed the golden defense on Aiolos' body.
'A new war?' Aiolos asked himself. It had been a real big while the last time he really fought against the enemies, but he know he would do anything he must.
"What do we know by now?" he asked, again to noone in particular.

"Absolutely nothing.." and it was no lie.. All the words spoken here right before Aiolos appeared were nothing but mere guesses. Were they..? Just the thinking about all the chaos rushing through the sanctuary today made his whole body tense. It was not that long ago he felt a sudden disturbance around, it was just a question of time until it makes itself known. "You should see it with your own eyes... the sanctum of your youth.. all the blissful childhood memories. destroyed in a mere second..

Walking in on the tail end of Shaka's words, Aphrodite stopped short in the doorway. He had never enjoyed Shaka's odd manner of speaking, but he had spent enough time with the Virgo Saint to understand what he was saying. "What happened?" he asked softly. The sakura tree had indeed been their sanctuary, the single place in all the world completely untarnished by bad memories and the blood spilled over their countless battles.

To think destroying a mere sakura tree would hurt some strong saint's feelings... Well, it wasn't a 'mere' sakura tree. It held a lot of memories of saint's childhood. And now it was gone. Seems like the enemies knew what was dear to the Gold Saints. Or they simply hit the spot. Whichever was the right thought, Mu just closed his eyes leaning his head down a bit. He was quiet. No words left his lips for a long time. Maybe the words were not needed?

It was true. The Sakura tree was a symbol of their past but, Aiolos had lost all his past once, he renounced to everything he had, even his life, to save Athena. He had learned to treasure his memmories and not the real thing.
"We can't just wait, we have to do something, travel to gather information... we can't be just suprised again by this unknow enemy" he said.

"True. However, if we all leave, Athena shall be vulnerable. We cannot let any harm come to her. Yet, we also cannot sit here doing nothing. The question is, where should we go to find information?" He looked at all the saints standing there. As if looking for the answer, but he knew far too well that they were as clueless as Saga himself. But maybe, just maybe someone will have an idea where to start.

"We have to find at least some answers but at the same time it is better not to run into conclusions too quick. That means we can't hurry. I suggest for all of us to think everything over and keep an eye on Sanctuary and Athena so the same thing wouldn't repeat. Some of us need to calm down first before we can come together again and discuss what happened." Mu's first glance was to the girls, then to some Gold Saints.

'Wait,' Elektra thought morosely, 'The only thing I absolutely suck at doing.' She bowed just slightly to Mu, but remained silent.

Aphrodite sighed, "We must be careful. Our opponent attacked something precious to us already, who's to say he will not try the same trick again?" He looked carefully at Mu and Shaka. The three of them had students as precious as life to them, and should any opponent learn of such a weakness he had no doubt it would be exploited.

"True. Yet... How are we going to protect everything at the same time?" Saga turned to Aiolos. So far he, Kanon and Saga himself had no students to take care of. "I suggest Aiolos and Kanon should go looking for more clues if possible to find them." Once again saga turned his gaze to others to see what they think.

Speaking of students... The first thing that now popped into the saint's mind was the girl he had so strictly ordered to stay behind at the Virgo. but was it necessary to worry about her..? Ayako was always following his orders without a single trace of doubt. that was the only reason that made Shaka worry. she shouldn't tun out like the two of his pupils that were now long gone.. gods bring peace to their souls...
"I should get back now..." yes, indeed.. until her master is gone. or else she could easily get scolded for such childish behavior. especially in such a dangerous hour.

'Is that really a good idea?' Elektra thought, shaking her head. She turned slightly to look up at Kanon. Even if he was not as weak as Elektra herself and the other students, he was still precious to Saga. "You should stay with your brother," she whispered under her breath.
Kanon glared at Elektra. Under his breath, he muttered, "Don't get yourself in any more trouble, kid." He turned back to his brother, a grim smile painted on his face. If Saga wanted him to go with Aiolos, so be it. He bowed slightly, "As you wish."
He looked at Aiolos, "I suggest we start at the sakura tree. I doubt we'll find much there, but it's a start."
