Another ficlet

Aaaaand another heap of riddles raised by this lovely piece of social dance! *bounces with anticipation* Aioria is so cutely being himself (or at least how I imagine him) that you can't help smiling indeed, even though the ending was predicted. :)

[taichara]

The ending was meant to be predicted; it's a sort of statement on how Aioria's being just too damn obvious.

Poor lionkitty. He'd better watch his back before one of the Holy Father's "Left Hands" comes to take care of the trouble ..

Ohh this is, as lopt said, social dance at it's finest! Dark and very interesting view on those two. ^^ Now you must start a community or something for I *really* want to follow your project. @_@

I have a couple of questions too now:

What and why is Aiolia trying to "save" young saints?

What is going on with the Holy Father? Unless I got totally confused it doesn't seem to be Saga from your previous ficlet, so is it Shion or someone else?

What happened to Athena if she didn't survive?

And finally did Kanon did the same mistake than in the manga/anime to be locked up by Saga?

Ahhh so many questions!!!!

Spoilers! (well, sort of *grins*)

These I can address, though they may raise more questions ..? Who knows *grins*

- Aioria is trying to "save" young Saints (and trainees, for that matter) for two major reasons.

The first is because the Holy Father has a very strong opinion of 'the strong rule, and the weak are slaughtered after you wring use out of them', and that pisses Aioria off.

The second is that he needs allies before he tries to overthrow (and kill, can't forget kill) the Holy Father, and this is an expidient way to get them.

- The Holy Father isn't Saga, but might as well be -- and as far as Sanctuary knows, is. Shion is long-dead (poor old ram. I love Shion), although he may get a cameo later on ^_^

Saga, as is his fate in life it seems, is bringing new meaning to being a twin ..

- Athena -- well, Saori -- got herself a bad case of dead the same time Shion and Aioros did (although she took longer to die than Shion).

Athena herself is not a happy camper, and is watching the events in Sanctuary with immense displeasure. And considering

First I want to say thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Now it is clearer and while it doesn't raise that many new questions for me it sure as hell managed to made me even more interested in your project. ^_^

So it isn't Saga... I was right after all! I wonder who it is, but if Saga has that much "impact" (influence?) on him maybe it doesn't matter...

Athena is watching everything from above??! O.O Awesome! Really awesome. I wonder what she is planning (the little voice in the back of my head is asking what she is waiting for about Kanon but that's only because he is my favorite, I shall leave everything else to Athena's great wisdom ^_^;;;)

"Not to be what his 'brother' wanted him to be"?? Now you said too much or too little! >_< Arrgh my Kanon! ;_; (out of the blue, is it about him not having a cosmo

So many questions unanswered!
(I liked the detail about poor old chap Capella. Silver Saint life sucks, it seems)

[taichara]

I fear it'll only get worse for some time, until I get everything assembled. But I'll do my best to field questions as I get them! ^_^

Yeh, Capella has it rough. The Silvers are caught between the proverbial rock-and-a-hard place in general, due to rank and (usually) personal power. Politics suck. *grins*

Awk forgot to say

[taichara]

I'll have a community for posting things set up by the end of the day (busy day possibly ahead, will do what I can).

It'll be pretty basic, but it'll get the job done *laughs*

Once it's ready to go, I'll post the name and whatnot here. ^_^

While I'm thinking on it ... any requests for initial character paragraphs? Or other bits of info?

(if they aren't yet written, they'll go into my 'to write next' pile if plotbunnies permit)

[scorpioyue]

Oooh, there were a lot of things I didn't get, but thanks to your explanations things are clearer. So very nice! I loved the descriptions... they were so effective to explain what was going on. And the last word... Ah, Shaka! *_*

[taichara]

Thank ye kind *grins*
