Chapter 1 : The Great Speech
§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ 10 years into losing a precious best-friend §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
She had never hated a speech like this, especially the very first one of her goddess'.
Not because of the content of the speech, nor the novelty and uncertainty expressed by the young–and–newly–awakened Athena. No, no, rest assured.
She had fully accepted Saori Kido as the real goddess the moment she told her best friend, Shura, that their deceased Gemini Saga had tricked them into a treason for the long sixteen years.
No.
What she could not accept was not related to Saori's revelation. It was simply because of the timing of the speech. Why–oh–why the whole Sanctuary had to get an immediate answer about the arrival of true Athena and the defeat of the impostor Patriarch? While they–the gold saints–were barely catching breaths after saving people from the destruction caused by the monstrous, fallen Gemini saint.
By Zeus! I can even feel that bastard Saga still clinging to the last drip of his cosmo. What is he doing there? Deluding Athene to forgive him now? Just be gone, you liar!
She felt her eyes becoming hot as the residents of the Sanctuary were cheering for the goddess. She glanced into her left side–out of habit–and saw Aldebaran smiling back to her there. It hit her that a couple of tears started falling down inside her scarlet mask. She straightened her back, standing still to hide the weakness...and the anger.
I don't have time for this! He didn't–
Her thoughts were broken by the moving crowd, approaching the young goddess on the podium to shake a hand for Athena's blessings.
To her right, Capricorn Shura was observing her gestures, trying to look inside her scarlet mask. He approached the girl, extending his hand to her shoulder for comforting her. It was something that he used to do since 16 years ago, knowing perfectly that the Scorpio saint had allowed him a close friendship, and perhaps more.
"Milo–"
She stepped aside to avoid the empathetic touch. "If you will, cover my absence, please." It was more an order than a plea.
With that, she retreated in silence, mingled among the spirited crowd, and then disappeared.
Shura knew where the scarlet-haired saint just went to. Because Athena's speech had taken place directly after the fall of the gigantic monster–Saga; they had no time to find Saga's body for witnessing his true death, let alone for taking care of the other fallen gold saints.
For sure, Scorpio Milo was heading towards the frozen palace.
