Chapter 2: Chapter 1
Author: "Sorry for the delay in uploading the chapter, I've been a bit busy but I'll try to upload the next chapter as quickly as possible"
1- To readers who know little or nothing about Saint Seiya, I recommend reading the auxiliary chapters or waiting for the next chapters where I will explain how the cosmos works, what they are made of or what are the 88 sacred armors and other things.
2- Readers who know certain things about Saint Seiya will already have noticed with the prologue, but just in case I will say it now, this Fan-Fic will not follow the original story to the letter, perhaps the war against Hades, Possessed and other gods if it happens, but it will not be the same as in the original story, these wars will last more than 2 or 3 hours unlike the original story and there may also be one or two specters more than the original 108 and a new general Marine.

-2 days later-
-Greece-
-Sanctuary of Athena-
going up the stairs that connect the penultimate Temple with the Temple of the Patriarch, there is a man.
the man has an attractive face, blonde hair and blue eyes.
He wears light blue armor with some parts of dark blue, his boots cover the entirety of his feet, his greaves cover his legs almost completely from the ankles to the thighs, his breastplate covers his entire chest and back from the waist to the neck. attached to a pair of shoulder pads, his gauntlets cover his hands leaving only his fingers exposed, his gauntlets are attached to bracers that completely cover his arms from the wrist to the shoulders and on his head he has something similar to a diadem or tiara that Covering around his face, connected to his shoulder pads, he has a cloak that is pink on the outside and red on the inside that reaches almost to his ankles.
If someone saw the man's armor, they would mistake him for a golden saint because it almost completely covered his body, but the inhabitants of the sanctuary and its surroundings are among the few who know the differences between a gold, silver and bronze saint. and after all, from childhood they are taught what the armor that the saints wear are like and to which of the 88 constellations they are connected.
-
After going up the stairs for 2 minutes, he manages to reach the Temple of the Patriarch.
With a serene expression and an air of tranquility, he walks into the Temple.
When the maids see the man enter the temple, they stare at him, as if it were the first time they have seen someone so attractive and with an aura that transmits peace and tranquility to everyone.
some of the maids blush, others just look at him with a more relaxed expression.
they continue to observe the man for a few more seconds until one of the servants decides to approach the man.
Servant: "welcome to the Temple of the Patriarch, Lord Albiore..."
Maid: "If you're looking for the Patriarch, I'll let you know that he just left a few hours ago"
the man named Albiore looks at the maid and smiles slightly for a second.
Albiore: "thanks for letting me know Sofia, but..."
Albiore: "this time I don't come to see the patriarch"
Sofia: "Hasn't it?"
Sofia: "Then why did you come, Mr. Albiore?"
...
...
...
Sofia: "!"
Sofia: "Maybe..."
Albiore shows a slight kind smile and with his own calm tone, Albiore: "That's right"
Albiore: "I come to meet the next generation of Santos..."
Albiore: "including my successor"
Upon hearing the words of the Silver Saint, Sofia shows a charming smile and with an excited tone, Sofia: "Then follow me, I'll take you to the baby's room!"
Sofia finishes saying that and the second she turns around, with a hurried step she walks down the corridor towards the interior of the Temple.
The servants who were around the corridor pretending to be cleaning or something while they were concentrating listening to Sofia and Albiore's conversation, were stunned to see the behavior that Sofia, one of her companions, had with a Saint from the Athena Army, especially a Silver Saint and seeing the armor that Albiore wears, it doesn't seem to be a simple Silver Saint.
...
Albiore stays still in the hallway while he watches Sofia's back. With every second that passes, she moves further away from her.
Albiore: (this girl)
He lets out a tired sigh and calmly begins to walk behind Sofia.
Albiore: (despite the fact that she has grown up, she is still the same energetic and somewhat careless girl from before)
...
...
The maids watch as Albiore walks behind Sofia and when they get far enough away, some of the maids crowd in the middle of the hall and start talking to each other.
Maid 1: "What was that? Why didn't the Silver Saint say anything to Sofia?"
Maid 2: "I don't know, maybe he recently got the armor from him or is he nervous about entering the Patriarch's Temple?"
Maid 3: "I don't think so, we all saw how he seemed to be calm, as if it wasn't his first time in the Temple of the Patriarch"
then the third maid looks towards one of the maids who were not surprised by Sofia's treatment of Albiore.
Maid 3: "Liliane, you who have been a servant in the Temple of the Patriarch for more than 25 years, you must know what relationship Sofia and that Silver Saint have"
the maid named Liliane, stops what she was doing and looks calmly towards the group of maids.
Liliane: "She may know, but why do they want to know what their relationship is?"
Maid 1: "out of curiosity"
Servant 2: "It's true, besides, not every day Saints enter the Temple of the Patriarch, apart from those of Gold"
Liliane looks at the group of servants for a few seconds.
Liliane: "Okay, I'll tell you"
...
Liliane: "BUT..."
Liliane: "Don't ask anyone else again, much less Sofia"
the maids quickly nod and stare at Liliane.
Liliane: "As you know, Sofia was not born inside the sanctuary, she was born outside"
Maids: "Yes"
Liliane: "I will only tell you that her childhood was not good and that when she turned 9 she was sold to a brothel by her own parents"
The servants are surprised to learn that her partner was sold to a brothel when she was only 9 years old and worst of all, by her own parents.
Liliane: "at that time Mr. Albiore was 19 years old and not long after his promotion to silver saint, the patriarch Shion had entrusted him with the mission of eliminating some human traffickers and in the middle of his mission he found a 9-year-old girl Sofia with her hands and feet tied to a bed with a half-naked man on top of her"
...
Liliane: "You could say that it was luck or that it was her fate that saved her from being desecrated, because before the man could do anything to young Sofia, Mr. Albiore murdered him"
Liliane: "then he ended up killing all the traffickers in the place and all the men and women who were involved in human trafficking, either as customers or vendors, and the latter includes Sofia's parents"
Liliane: "the women who served as prostitutes, were returned to their homes and those who could not return because they were sold, received a payment from the sanctuary and were transferred to some houses on the Island of Andromeda, in the case of children, they were taken to an adoption center located in England that is run by the government"
Liliane: "In the case of Sofía, for having gone through a traumatic experience of almost being raped and having a shitty life with her parents, when she was saved by Mr. Albiore, she developed a trauma and a deep fear towards people except him. Mr. Albiore, but like every saint of Athena, Mr. Albiore could not take care of a girl and for that reason he decided to leave her in the same orphanage to which they sent the other children, but not even 4 hours passed and the girl Sofia refused to being with other people and when she was away from Albiore for too long, she engaged in behaviors that harmed herself, such as hitting her head against a wall or hitting herself, for this reason Mr. Albiore decided to take her with him to the sanctuary."
Liliane: "After Sofia was accepted into the sanctuary by Patriarch Shion, Lord Albiore took care of her and raised her as his younger sister/daughter until she reached the age of 15, then Sofia enrolled in the trials for become a servant of her own accord and ended up approving of them"
...
Liliane: "That's the story of Sofia and Mr. Albiore, if you want to know the details of Sofia's childhood I ask you not to ask her, after all, it's not something Sofia wanted to say, let alone remember"
the servants look at each other and after reaching a mutual understanding they decide to continue with their work and not mention the subject again.
...
...
...
After walking through the corridors of the Temple for 3 minutes, they arrive at a room that is next to what appears to be the Patriarch's room.
Sofia opens the door and without paying attention to Albiore, enters the room, Albiore for her part, without caring about Sofia's behavior, enters the room behind her.
The room is spacious and inside are the babies' cribs, an open window, three closets, a medium-sized bathroom, and some wooden toys.
Sofia walks towards the babies and following behind her is Albiore.
both stop next to the cribs and with a serious look Albiore observes the 6 babies.
Albiore: (So they are the next generation of Saints)
Albiore: (usually would-be saints have to undergo mental and physical training to unlock their cosmos, but...)
Albiore: (from what I can sense from these babies, they already have the cosmos unlocked)
Albiore looks at the baby that is in the right corner and narrows his eyes as he feels her cosmos, Albiore: (But what is this!?)
Albiore: (Since when did a baby have that much cosmos!?)
Albiore: (what kind of destiny will he have to have so much cosmos?)
He continues to watch the babies for a few minutes while Sofia plays with them.
then he looks at Sofía and sees how she takes a baby in her arms and begins to feed it with a bottle.
Albiore smiles slightly as he watches Sofia play and feed the baby, then goes to another crib, picks up the baby and rests it against his armor.
he grabs another bottle and begins to feed the baby, then looks at Sofia and with a calm tone, Albiore: "how is the maid job going?"
Sofia: "Okay, good for now"
Sofia: "I haven't had any problem with my duties as a servant, the other maids have been kind to me, Mr. Spyridon has also treated me well, despite being a bit serious and cold, the few times he passes by the Temple of the Patriarch has been kind to me and the other servants."
Sofia: "Patriarch Shion too, despite his serious behavior, is always kind to everyone"
Albiore lets out a sigh of relief and turns his attention back to the baby in his arms, Albiore: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm sorry I can't visit you often, I've been busy with the would-be saints arriving on Andromeda Island and the requests of other aspiring saints to go to the Island of Queen Death"
Sofia finishes feeding the baby, then she leaves him in the crib and looks at Albiore, Sofia: "I understand..."
He smiles slightly and with a somewhat sad expression looks into Albiore's eyes, Sofía: "I know that because of your functions as Silver Saint and the position that falls on you as the Saint of Cepheus, you don't have much free time, but I appreciate that the little free time you have, spend it with me..."
Sofia: "Dad"
Albiore smiles warmly upon hearing Sofia's words, finishes feeding the baby in her arms and leaves it in the crib.
With the same smile as his, he spreads his arms from side to side and gives Sofia a hug.
Sofia opens her eyes, surprised to receive her hug, but immediately after she hugs Albiore.
...
...
both remain silent as they continue to hug each other for a while.
So Sofia puts more strength in her embrace and buries her face in Albiore's chest as tears begin to fall from her eyes.
Sofia: "sniff, sniff, I-I heard from the o-other servants that a Holy War is coming"
Albiore: "It is possible"
Sofia hugs Albiore tightly and with an angry tone, Sofia: "DON'T TELL ME IT'S POSSIBLE, WHEN ALMOST THE ENTIRE SANCTUARY IS TALKING ABOUT IT!..."
Sofia: "EVEN THE GOLDEN SAINTS AND THE PATRIARCH HAVE MENTIONED IT!"
Albiore: "..."
Sofia raises her head from Albiore's chest and looks into her eyes, Sofia: "I'm afraid, afraid of losing you"
Sofia: "I have read the history books that describe how almost all the holy wars have been so far and in each holy war only a handful of saints have survived, the worst holy war was the previous one in which only the old master Dohko survived and Patriarch Shion"
Sofia: "I'm afraid that in this holy war you won't be able to survive"
Albiore raises her right hand and places it on Sofia's cheek, then brings her face closer to Sofia's and with a warm tone, Albiore: "Sofia"
Sofia trembles slightly from Albiore's warm tone and unconsciously rubs her cheek against Albiore's hand.
Albiore: "My dear girl, you don't have to worry about my safety..."
Albiore: "remember that currently almost all saints are as powerful as a silver saint or a strong silver saint and that like me, there are several silver and bronze saints that rival in power with a gold one"
...
Sofia: "B-But"
Albiore: "No buts"
Albiore: "Don't forget that we have Lord Ilias on our side"
Albiore: "And although Lord Ilias is a Bronze Saint, he is currently the most powerful Saint in the service of Athena"
Sofia lets out a tired sigh and rests her head on Albiore's chest again, Sofia: "Okay..."
Sofia: "I'll try to trust your words, dad... BUT"
Sofia looks at Albiore's eyes again, she frowns and with a serious tone, Sofia: "You have to swear to me that you will survive this holy war"
Albiore keeps his same warm smile and with a serious tone, Albiore: "Okay, I swear"
...
...
They both remain silent while looking into each other's eyes for 3 minutes, then Sofia looks away and lets out a tired sigh.
Sofia: "Okay"
Sofia: "Now I have to continue with my duties as a servant"
Sofia looks at the babies and then looks at Albiore, Sofia: "since you're free, could you take care of the babies for a while while I finish my other maid chores"
Albiore tries to say something but Sofia turns around, walks towards the door and leaves the room.
Albiore: "..."
Albiore: (she is angry)
Albiore looks at the babies and decides to take care of them for a while until Sofia returns.

-MC POV-
.
.
.
I try to look around but nothing has changed, I still see only darkness.
I try to distract my mind with thoughts of what my future life as an Athena Saint will be like, but… the idea that this is just a dream consumes almost all my hope of having a new fantasy life.
...
Time passes and nothing changes, which makes me impatient to reincarnate or wake up from this dream or hallucination.
...
...
...
After an indeterminate time, I feel something.
I feel a slight itching in my eyes.
I try to rub my eyes, but for some reason it's hard for me to move my hands.
I keep trying to rub my eyes, but seeing no way to do it, I try to open my eyes.
I open my eyes and the first thing I see is a white ceiling, I look at the ceiling for a few seconds until I realize that it seems to be a marble ceiling.
I try to look around me and with some difficulty, I can barely move my head.
I end up seeing what appears to be a giant, to be exact, a giant in armor, blue armor.
I am surprised to see that the giant wears armor, but then I remember that in Saint Seiya 99% of the characters wear armor, even if it is a thong of some material, but they all wear armor.
¿?: (I've finally reincarnated!)
¿?: (I hope it's not a dream and that he really reincarnated)
I stop looking at the giant and look down.
Where my hands would be before, the hands of a 22-26 year old man, are the hands of a baby, a baby a few days old or a month old.
I try to think about how I will lead my future life as a baby, but… my attention is caught by what seems to be the sound of a door.
I look in the direction of the noise and see how another giant enters the room.
My eyes widen when I see that this other giant is also wearing armor, but not just any armor, he is wearing what appears to be golden armor.
¿?: (What is happening?)
¿?: (Because there is a gold saint?)
?: (I thought I was reincarnated by God at the very moment the Gemini Saga and Canon were born, but as I recall, there were only two gold saints at that time, the Libra saint, Libra Dohko and the patriarch, Shion of Aries.)
I stop looking at the golden saint and decide to look at the other giant.
Seeing the armor that the first giant is wearing and recognizing which of the 88 holy armors it is, for some reason, my body begins to tremble with excitement.
¿?: (T-That, that armor)
I try to see his face, but with his back turned, I can only see his hair.
?: (Why does he also have his own hair color?)
...
¿?: (No...)
¿?: (It just can't be)
¿?: (God was wrong and I reincarnated 17-20 years after the birth of Saga and Canon of Geminis or I reincarnated in another of the Saint Seiya timelines)
The golden saint stands by the cradles and watches the babies.
¿?: "What's up Spyridon?"
¿?: "The patriarch requests my presence?"
The gold saint stops looking at the babies and shakes his head, then looks at the other saint and with a somewhat hoarse voice, Spyridon: "It's not that"
Spyridon: "I saw your daughter in the hall, she seems to be angry with you"
¿?: "She Ha, that..."
Spyridon: "What did you tell him?"
The first giant lets out a tired sigh and looks towards the door, ¿?: "I told him not to worry about my safety, that we would be fine in this holy war"
The giant named Spyridon crosses his arms and stares at the first giant, Spyridon: "Why did you tell him that?"
Spyridon: "You know there's no way we're going to get out of a holy war intact, especially this one, since it's just us against a god and his army."
Spyridon: "if we had the support of Athena or some other god, I highly doubt more than 3 or 4 saints would die, but..."
Spyridon: "it's just us, a bunch of bronze, silver and gold saints, against who knows what god and his army, remember that we are still mortal and any high level god, like the twin gods Hypnos and Thanatos, could destroy the sanctuary"
¿?: "You're right"
¿?: "But..."
he stops looking at the door and looks at Spyridon, ¿?: "what do you expect me to tell him?"
¿?: "Everything will go wrong, most of the saints will not be able to survive this holy war and it is possible that the sanctuary will be destroyed"
¿?: "Is that what you want me to tell him?"
Spyridon: "What I want is for you not to give him false hope"
Spyridon: "Did you forget how you felt when your teacher, and the previous wielder of the Cloth of Cepheus, was killed a week after promising she would return to the sanctuary to finish your training?"
?: "..."
Spyridon looks towards the only window in the room and with a somewhat sad tone, Spyridon: "I don't forget the feeling of pain and helplessness I felt when the only thing that returned to my master's sanctuary was his armor"
Spyridon: "Even now, more than 30 years later and the helplessness I felt at that moment I still feel"
Spyridon: "Remember?"
Spyridon: "We were both training in the coliseum of the sanctuary, when suddenly an armor appeared, an armor that until a few days ago was golden, but when it appeared it was red, red as blood and with dozens of cracks everywhere"
¿?: "Yes, I remember"
Spyridon: "Your teacher and my teacher were the closest thing to a father figure for us, they raised us, educated, trained and taught us what the saints fight for"
Spyridon stops looking out the window and looks at the other saint, Spyridon: "Now you're that father figure to Sofia"
Spyridon: "Do you want her to feel the same way we felt when we were apprentices?"
¿?: "..."
Spyridon turns and walks towards the door.
then he opens the door and looks again at the other saint, Spyridon: "Albiore, you have to talk to her and make her understand that you won't be by her side forever"
Spyridon: "do it now, before she gets word of your death and possibly has a mental breakdown"
Spyridon turns from looking at Albiore and leaves the room.
...
Albiore lets out a tired sigh and looks down.
instead, the mc is still in his cradle, motionless or shocked to feel the name that until now came to mind when he saw the saint in the blue armor with blond hair.
¿?: (Albiore?)
¿?: (It is true that from behind it looks like that Albiore that I have seen since my childhood in my old life, but)
¿?: (Why is it here?, but still, why is there a gold saint?)
...
Albiore stops looking at the ground and decides to continue taking care of the babies.
but when he turns around he manages to notice how one of the 6 babies is staring at him, as if he were in some kind of trance.
Albiore: (Are you afraid?)
Albiore: (Maybe we argued with a little strong tone)
Albiore approaches the baby and decides to feed it with a bottle.
...
¿?: (...)
¿?: (Sigh)
¿?: (I better stop asking myself these questions for now and focus on my future as a baby)
Albiore smiles slightly, takes the mc in his arms and leans him against his armor.
¿?: (what are you doing?)
Albiore: "It's time to drink milk"
¿?: (Huh?)
I try to say something, but what appears to be a bottle covers my mouth.
