Perhaps there was some point in her words. After all Ayako was always willing to do her best no matter what. After all, there was a good chance of getting kicked out of the sanctuary for laziness wasn't it? She had well known what she's bargaining for once she came here to train, so now there's nothing to complain about. maybe it would be better indeed to be kept busy from dawn 'till dusk only to rid oneself from those silly thoughts. But now wasn't the time to daze around. "It could be truth..." yet what's this all about..? After a moment or two the girl turned her questioning look back at the younger saint still wondering where this conversation will lead to.

It was all Elektra could do not to roll her eyes. "There is nothing useful or helpful about that much training," she assured, shaking her head, "believe me, I've been there, done that." She tried to keep from laughing at the memory, "You're very lucky Shaka likes you."
Elektra still had scars from those first few years in Sanctuary. Standing there now, on the steps of the Virgo temple, it was hard to believe she had ever been miserable in this place.

Likes you..? Now that really did sound a bit harsh. She didn't need pity from anybody, whoever that might be. neither did she need to be treated different than any other saint in training. After all, Shaka was her master, she was his student and that's that. " I will overcome" After all, what did she have to lose anyways..? There was still some time left before the last step of her training for today, so it would be nice to use it wisely.

'I wonder what Ayako-chan is doing...' Diana thought to herself as she looked at the sky while walking. She often wondered how she was doing in her trainings. Ayako was the only girl saint Diana actually knew pretty well. Too bad they haven't met for quite a while now... But it's also a question if Shaka would let them meet since his trainings are very strict. The girl closed her eyes and sighed, but after a few steps she suddenly tripped over a little rock and nearly fell down. "I really should look where I'm walking..." as Diana said this very quietly to herself, she hit her head a little with her fist. She was clumsy, probably everyone would have already noticed that. It's really a surprise that Mu took her as an apprentice.
A sweet smell captured Diana's thoughts and she looked to the side where it was coming from. 'That must be the cherry blossom tree.' the girl smiled and started to walk a bit faster. Hmm? What is this cosmos that was also coming from that side? Diana could guarantee that she has felt it somewhere before. Could that possibly be Kanon..?

Elektra stared at the older girl for a full minute before bursting out laughing. "I'm not insulting you!" she laughed, shaking her head, "Damn, I almost envy you! Shaka spent the first two years of my training trying to kill me and it was another year before I got half the respect from him that you have." Shaking her head, she gazed back towards the dark temple. Without Shaka, the temple just felt wrong, almost frightening. No, on second thought, the temple had always been frightening. Shaka just made it standable.
"You'll be a great saint," she said, "He speaks very highly of you." She hesitated to mention how disturbingly similar Ayako's cosmos was to Shaka's. Just the though of a female version of the Gold Saint made her want to shudder.
Kanon gazed up at the sakura tree for a moment, weighing the pros and cons. Finally, after scanning the area around him once more to make sure there was no one nearby, he let a small smile cross his face and grabbed one the tree limbs above him. He pulled himself up and stretched out across the branch.

Yes, that sweet smell did lead her to the cherry blossom tree. "It's so beautiful..." she whispered and came a bit closer not noticing anyone around. At that moment her thoughts were flying around the beauty of the tree. It's blossoms were wonderful and she couldn't take her eyes of it. If only she could show this place to Mu... the girl also wondered if Ayako knew about this place. 'I'll definitely ask her when I'll have the chance.' the girl thought with a smile on her face.

"I'm sorry..." Gods, that felt so wrong now...Perhaps Elektra was right after all. She's so into her training that she's almost forgot the most important thing of all: There's a whole world around her just waiting to be discovered. And it's something she must pay attention to as well... "I just don't want to end up failing him like I always do to everyone around me.. It makes me feel so useless and good for nothing..." But it simply felt right just being here. As if she's finally found her right spot under the sun. And this only chance her life has given her was something Ayako couldn't let herself lose.
Just a few more steps left and he'll be back at his own temple that started to feel like a true home with all those years passing. Yet the things happening around the sanctuary couldn't seem to get out of his mind. It just felt so wrong... Wasn't it about enough for them all to suffer..? Just when things have started to settle down, a new tension kept on rising. But most of all it was the some sort of selfishness of the younger of the twins that made the saint shiver from anger. What was the whole show during the Holy War about..? It was something Shaka wished to ask Kanon himself

'Now where did you come from?' Kanon wondered as Diana's cosmos caught his attention. He wondered how he could have missed her. He shifted to make himself more comfotable on his perch and sat back to see if the Pictor Saint would notice him.
'Now you're getting it,' Elektra thought. "Never think about failing," she said, eyes suddenly locked on a shadow in the temple, "Those who are afraid to fall never learn how to fly." 'I've gotta stop hanging around Mu and Shaka. I'm starting to talk like them.'
For that matter, she needed to stop jumping at shadows, too. Shaking her head, she tore her eyes from the dark temple and drummed her fingers on Ayako's wrist, "Then again, I can't remember what it's like to be afraid of disappointing someone." The idea hadn't even occurred to her that she could disappoint someone until that terrifying moment when she had realized who it was who had been trying to kill her all through her training.

When Diana heard someone, she looked around. Someone else was there..? She looked up at the tree again and noticed someone sitting on a bench. So that's why she felt Kanon's cosmo. He wasn't near that place, he was on the cherry blossom tree. "I-I'm sorry if I have disturbed you..." Diana apologized in a soft, yet a bit scared voice and took a few steps back. He was looking at her like that, this didn't mean any good. At least Diana thought so. She has never talked to other Gold saints aside Mu because of her shyness to say or do something wrong.

After beating the hell out of every man standing Phobos walked out of the training grounds satisfied. Walking back in the castle he noticed that the day was like usual. This was not very good. It meant Ares gave no orders yet. "What is that God thinking?" Phobos grumbled and an idea was born in his evil mind. He almost ran to the throne room where Ares would spend days sitting and knocked on the door. Without waiting for an answer he entered. "Oh the all mighty." He started bowing down.

All this time that Ares was sitting in his throne, he was thinking only about how he would take the Earth that belonged to him from Athena and how he would make her suffer for everything. He could already see himself ruling the world. But first.... first they needed a plan. Ares' thoughts were cut when he heard the door open. "Hmm?" the God of warfare took his eyes of the mirror that he had broken and looked at Phobos, but was quiet for a few moments. "What is it?" if he was here, that meant he wanted something. Something that he couldn't do on his own will. That's obvious.

No, Phobos was not expecting a warm welcome even after the mocking words. Looking up at the God Phobos shifted his eyes. "I have a request. Please let me go to the Earth first. I'll see... how everything is doing." Phobos became silent for a moment, but before God was able to talk he would start again. "And, with enough luck, kill one or two saints." He would smirk. There was a plan in his mind. Details were starting to come together like puzzle pieces. Phobos was not only muscles. He had his way of thinking too.

"It's not time yet." Ares closed his eyes as he made himself comfortable in the throne. "But... if you manage not to do anything stupid and not to make a big fuss there with your welcome, then go." The God listened to the silence of the room before he spoke again. "Make sure not to fail if you have a plan."

Kanon grinned down at the young woman before him, "You're Mu's student, right?" He chuckled, "I don't mind the distraction. Anyone who manages to find their way here deserves to interrupt me." In fact, had he been in a better mood he might have considered toying with the girl. 'Shy little bird, aren't you?' he thought. He gave a month, maybe two. She'd loosen up once she got used to being around the Gold Saints.

"Yes, I am Mu-sama's student.." She said looking down at the grass. She was nothing compared to Gold Saints, that thought made her respect them a lot. And even Kanon, he was one of them also. But why did he stay in the shadows..? This question often came to Diana's mind when she started to think about friendship of the Saints. Maybe now would be the chance to ask Kanon that..? But wouldn't that anger him?
