Disclaimer: If Saint Seiya were mine, there would be a sequel to Tenkai-hen Overture. There would be a Tenkai-hen. Since there is obviously not, we can all assume I probably don't own Saint Seiya. And even if Kurumada-san someday continues Tenkai-hen, I still won't own Saint Seiya.

Notes: I received a list of 100 prompts from a friend, who found the list on neondragonart. I decided to self-challenge and write a sort of 100 prompts set of drabbles for Saint Seiya, because I felt it would be fun. Hopefully, everyone will leave comments and tell me how I'm doing. Thanks!

The first prompt is Beginnings. I wanted to set the drabble in a creative time...hopefully it worked.

Shaka looked around in shock. There were people--familiar people--appearing beside him. In brilliant flashes of gold, the rest of the Gold Saints materialized, smiling and strong. They were all so different, so strange, so beautifully damaged, and yet, Shaka felt at home among them. The buddha smiled. And as Dohko declared their mission, as they sent the Bronze Saints away, even as they began to form a collective Cosmo, Shaka smiled.

Before they were gone, though, he wanted to talk to Saga briefly.

"Saga?" he began, mentally touching the Gemini Saint's mind.

"Yes, Shaka?"

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For...you know...the Exclamation and everything."

"There's no need to be sorry for that. You were doing what you needed to do."

"I...just wanted to apologize before it all ends."

"Shaka, we Gold Saints aren't just going to stop protecting our goddess after this. This...here at the wall...this isn't the end of anything. This is just the begnning."
