Disclaimer: Campione! was written by Taketsuki Jou, I get nothing out of writing this fanfic save personal satisfaction (and possibly reviews).
Author's Notes: An AU story with the concept what if Godou is like all other Campiones, a weird person? This Fanfic will be written in the point of view of one of the female cast each chapter; I will try to avoid writing it from Godou's point of view, but I do not promise that I won't. Godou's personality was inspired from Mashiro Shiina of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo.

Prologue: Heretic Athena: "One hath found thee..."
- - - 7th - - -
One hast long searched for one's other self. Alas, the location of the Gorgoneion still eludes this heretic goddess. Perchance one hath lived out of one's own myth for far too long, but this one does not hold the search as one's priority.
A battle this one desires.
This one hath even bothered to visit the islands of the far east to search for an opponent, only to be disappointed that the steel gods that reside in these lands hath been sealed and hath gone to sleep. This one is truly disappointed.
One hath sought battle.
One desired an opponent. A god. A demon. A god-slayer. One cares not.
Speaking of god-slayers... there should be five of them now.
Too many.
The eldest hath disappeared into isolation. The next senior hath not sought one, perchance he has been wounded or playing with the divine authorities he hath usurped. Another senior was not interested in one and hath been wasting her time with her disciples. The next was young and would probably fight one, should our paths cross, otherwise one didn't see him as someone of interest. And the last is the recently reborn Campione. One only knows that this god-slayer resides somewhere in the new world and would not seek one out.
In other words, one has no enemies at the moment. Tis a sad realization hath come to this goddess of war.
How long must one wait? How far must one search? This one yearns for a enemy worthy of fighting.
But there hath none.
Just as one was about to depart this land, one hath noticed a powerful gaze.
No, that wasn't quite right.
It was... human.
One hath not sensed power. Rather... potential.
This goddess turned to meet the eyes of the individual who hath found one. One could almost not believe one's eyes. A male child, one that has not even entered his puberty, was staring at this goddess' floating pubescent form. He was not hostile, rather this one senses his curiosity.
How can this child sense one? One cannot be seen by mortals unless their spiritual powers are at a certain level or they are witches. This boy certainly wasn't a witch and possessed no magic at all. Yet this one was sure that this boy can see one.
Heretofore, this has not happened.
However, this goddess had revelation.
Foresooth!
A transcendent existence!
This child will surely become a great man.
But what kind of man? A Leader? A Hero? A King? ...
Ah! One's thoughts have entered dangerous grounds. This goddess of wisdom has foreseen it... this boy could one day be reborn as the mortal enemy of one's kin.
The likelihood excites this one, Heretic Athena.
Tis unfortunate that he is so young. I wouldst like to fight him. But this one will wait.
One's feet kisses the ground once more and approacheth the boy.
Immediately the boy's body tensed up; yet then as relaxed, just as quickly. Even so young, the boy hast discern my desire to fight him. But realized that he hath no means to retaliate or defeat this one. This goddess is even more impressed. Couldest that be part of his gifts?
"This one would like to hear thy name."
The boy blinked a few times and followed with a weighty pause. Perchance, had one used the wrong language? Or couldst the boy not speak? That wouldst bring one disappointment, but it cannot be...
"Go-dou."
This one was surprised. The boy hath finally spoken. This one feels relief the boy is not mute.
"Kus-sa-na-gi Godo-u."
The way the child spoke was odd. A difficulty? Perchance it is what will make him even more special someday? What are the- No! This one does not wish to discern the origins of his gift just yet. No, for now, this goddess shall be satisfied with this boy's name.
"Kusanagi Godou." This goddess tasted his name on one's lips. It was an unfamiliar name, but masculine. Even without intending to, the name hast already been carved in this one's immortal heart. "This one's common name is Athena, wilst remember that."
This one departed, with the mist and shadow.
One was sure, our fates would cross once more.

Chapter End Notes: I wanted to play around and purposely tried to use archaic words whenever possible to give an ancient flavor to Athena's narration. Of course, my lack of vocabulary has made it fail, but I liked how it turned out.
