A small dog bounded up to Alone with a heart-shaped ribbon in her jaws. ~𝒫𝓊𝓅𝓅𝓎

“Kora~!” Alone mumbled sweetly before picking her up in his arms. He ran his palm gently over her head and scratched behind her ears.                 “Celebrating Valentine’s day too are we? This is so cute!”

“Happy Valentine’s Day!” Regulus exclaimed as he gave Alone a small bag of chocolate truffles that he made last night. He knew Valentine’s Day was a day where lovers would give each other chocolate and flowers to express their love but that didn’t matter to him. He just enjoy making and giving out chocolate to everyone.

“F-for me!?” Alone felt his face grow hot from the generosity. A light blush could be seen seeping from his ivory skin and he took the chocolates with wide, glossy blue irises.

He held the bag close to his chest, smiling brightly with a softness unique only to him. “Th-thank you, Regulus! Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!Oh…       Oh no…um!!!”

*gives a 21m Gundam to Alone* Happy Late Valentines day!!

“A V-Valentine’s day gift? You shouldn’t have–”

          “WHAT IS THAT?!”

[artexfatale-blog]

What are you planning to do on Valentine's Day?

“I thought long and hard about it;           I do not have someone I can spend the holiday with but...I think it will be wonderful if I do free portraits of couples!”

Seoul is located in South Korea ;w;

“...”This was awkward. Alone stared blankly at the stranger only to end up feeling bad about his lack of knowledge. He smiled unsurely and soft, a small little meek grin.

“I’m sorry...I don’t know what South Korea is either...”

“Yeah.”

It must had been hard for the boy to believe. It wasn’t every day that you just learn that your sister was a goddess.

“Yes, for sure! I rarely saw her in person unless I am reporting a mission but even then I don’t see her very often. But I am sure she is being well taken care of and very happy. Why…”

“Hm?” Regulus tilted his head when he heard Alone saying that he hoped he was okay too. He must be Tenma. Regulus smiled softly before answering, “I am sure he is alright.”

Alone must have missed both of them a lot. Both his sister and friend were gone one day and he would never know what will happen to them until now. All of this wasn’t fair to Alone at all.

“Why don’t I bring you to the Sanctuary? You can meet Tenma and in the meantime, I will ask the Pope if you can meet Athe…I mean Sasha too.”

Regulus gently laughed along. He wanted to know but it seemed that Alone didn’t know the reason of his name.

Alone fiddled with his sketchpad, running his finger tips along the seam of the pad as he answered with a gentle beam, “No special reason in particular! I just miss her and hope she is happy...”               He really did hope she was...               ...he missed her a lot.

He hoped both of them were alright. His stomach continued to churn uncomfortable as the acids boiled to his discomfort when thinking about them. The chest ached too, but Alone continued to resist, not wanting to let down his positive exterior in front of his guest.

And then his eyes lit up, darting from shy aversion back to a more hopeful gaze towards Regulus. Alone squeezed his sketchpad tighter, his hairs almost standing up and his eyes wide with excitement and anticipation. 

“Y-y-y-y-you--!!!” Alone stuttered at first before inhaling again with soft rosy cheeks filled with air. He squealed softly, much to his embarrassment, in saying:

“You really mean that!?”

Woof. With a wag of her tail, a familiar small dog flopped down next to the boy. ~𝒫𝓊𝓅𝓅𝓎

“Hm?” Alone heard the puppy flop next to him, catching his attention to pry his eyes away from his painting.

Immediately the neutral gaze sweetened into a pure joy before greeting the puppy:

“Hello there, Kora!”And he didn’t hesitate in reaching out to dote on the puppy with back rubs and ear scratches~

“So Athena’s human name is Sasha…” Sasha sounded a nice name. He knew Athena was a human orphan that his uncle brought to the Sanctuary and that she had a human name but he didn’t know what it was. He never asked. “What I mean to say is that your sister, Sasha is our goddess Athena. That is why my uncle took her away from here and brought her to the Sanctuary so she could guide her saints to victory for this Holy War.” Regulus paused wondering if it was a good idea to tell him all of this. Did the boy even understand what he was talking about? “Ah but don’t worry about your sister, she is well taken care of.”

Regulus nodded. So not only was he right about Athena, he was also right about his friend.

“Tenma is training to be a saint right now….and that is all I know about him.”

In fact, he didn’t even know how Tenma even looked like.

When the boy told him his name, Regulus looked a little confused to why his name was Alone. Who would name a boy that? Regulus smiled and nodded.

“Yes, my father named after Regulus, the bright star. He told me that I was going to be like Regulus, a bright star amongst other stars.” Regulus paused wondering whether he should ask or not. It seemed rude but his curiosity won him over. “Uh…why did your parents name you Alone?”

“Sasha is Athena...?” As in the Goddess Athena?  Regulus’ explanation confirmed this. Alone was needless to say utterly bewildered and baffled. So this meant that Tenma and Sasha were reunited? He felt happy that they were! He really did but...there was this sinking feeling in him. He smiled as sweetly as possible regardless, relieved that his sister was being cared for after all, “I am happy to hear that she is. Is she happy though? Smiling? Eating well?”

Alone would’ve asked if Tenma had met up again with Sasha, but decided against that when Regulus said all that he knew. “I hope he’s okay too...”

His throat felt dry and his stomach ached. Alone’s smile stayed strong however; he told himself that those two wouldn’t want him to be melancholic over them.             He yearned to be with them however.

Alone’s smile eased and only grew more at how Regulus explained why his father did name him that. Genuinely, he thought the boy’s father loved him very much for him to name him something so beautiful with beautiful beliefs.  A gentle laugh escaped his lips, “It’s weird isn’t it? I don’t remember why honestly...”

You should go to Seoul and let's party there (bring Sasha and Tenma too)

“May I ask where Seoul is? I never heard of it before!”

“Your sister and best friend…” Wait. His sister left with his uncle. He remembered his uncle telling him that he had found Athena in Italy and brought her to the Sanctuary…. He didn’t remember his uncle bring any other girls from Italy to the Sanctuary. So that could meant…

“Your sister is Athena!” Regulus shouted in surprise and then quickly covered his mouth.

Oops, that was so loud. The surrounding villagers stared at them with confuse faces while he laughed nervously.

“A joke, just a silly joke.”

Then, Regulus quickly grabbed Alone’s hand and pulled him inside where they could talk privately.

“So…your sister is really Athena and I assume your friend’s name is Tenma?”

He remembered the saints and trainees talking about the new trainee that Dohko brought in. Yato had fought with him once and told him Tenma wasn’t as strong as everyone said he was. However, the news was not as shocking as the fact that the boy’s sister was Athena. Although if he was her sister, then why wasn’t he brought to the Sanctuary too? He needed to ask his uncle about that.

“My name is Regulus. What is your name?”

Regulus’ outburst startled Alone so much he recoiled a little. Relaxing, Alone blinked in disbelief at Regulus and then smiled softly albeit the sheepishness of it.      “My sister is Sasha, not Athena...?” Alone chuckled meekly before allowing Regulus to drag him off to privacy.

Alone repeated, “My sister is Sasha; she’s not called Athena.” Although he perked up softly at hearing Tenma’s name. His lips warmed up into a beautiful and gentle smile; azure irises twinkled with a hint of melancholia as he recalled his dear friend.

“Tenma! Yes he’s my friend...”

And how much he missed his friend and sister. There wasn’t much that Alone could do and he wasn’t sure if he could have this Saint take him to them. Something about this Sanctuary seemed foreboding to him if he were to set foot in it. 

“Oh! My name is Alone! Regulus...” He tilted his head to the side thoughtfully, “Regulus is a wonderful name. You’re named after a bright star aren’t you?”

Yeah! but when taking off it's actually pretty fast, Here let me show you *shows a video of an airplane taking flight* and I'll have you know that my favorite airplane is Citilink.

“Whoa! Whoa! How did the pictures move so--How did you get that tiny thing--what is this!?” Alone fretted about softly, amazed and startled by the video first than rather an airplane.

This was far too beyond his imagination. Seeing the brief glimpse of the tiny people waving their light sticks compared to the size of the airplane made him squeal on the inside.

[artexfatale-blog]

Hahaha indeed, we also have this transportation called air planes if you wanna travel far away. we don't really use boats anymore if it comes to travelling and stuff.

“Airplanes? You use those instead of boats. So wait! Air planes! Do you use them to travel by air? You can FLY?!”

“War?” Hekate paused and gave him another glance, her expression studying and confused. “Human war or did you have ties to some supernatural war?”

There was a reason she had gone to the old ruins in Italy. Her research had hinted that it had been the site of a great conflict, one that wasn’t completely within the world that most humans accepted. Hekate had hoped to find left-over energy from anything supernatural.

Her desires of freedom depended upon darker spells. She couldn’t die, given her family could easily resurrect her because of the precautions they bred into her lineage. The same could prevent her from fully escaping them by running away. A slave to fate or she might have been had the lord she was supposed to serve not been killed in 1999.

A bashful yet empty grin came across his lips. Alone wasn’t proud of it at all; the memories were burdensome albeit a few fond ones with people he cared for who were gone now,                  “Would you consider Holy Wars supernatural, Miss Hekate?”

Fascinating how she addressed it. He wondered what she really wanted when she came here. Alone was peaceful again, more settled in his mentality rather than shaken and blind-minded with insanity picking at his heart. Sure melancholia lingered here and there from years lamenting on sins, however if ever needed be, he’d help whoever was in trouble.
