Jayr POV - a, Lushan - 1984
After a long week going all around a, I'm finally back, it was a hard thaask, but I did it, I brainwashed all the most powerful, rich, and important people of a, plus all the Martial Warriors and Immortals, and their families with only one objective, prevent the rising of others young masters, what I think are the source of all Cultivation Plot, now, no parent will spoil or protect their child when they do something wrong, but will strictly disciplihem if they do something wrong, and if they did a major crime, they will call the police themself.
The effey cure already be seen, just today 28 of them were caught by the police for r*pe, 12 for murder, and 69 for other crimes like bribery, bckmail, assault, corruption, domestic violence, drunk driving, fraud, hit and run, kidnapping, perjury, traffig, and vandalism, in short, I think I did it, I made the a of my world, a young master free nation.
The st week in Lushan, quickly passed between, training, teag Seika and Shunrei, helping Dohko train Shiryu, and my secret rendezvous with Seika that I enjoyed a little too much as I had to slightly heal her with my o as she couldn't walk, or even stand afterward.
O day, I talked with Seika about our course of a "Seika, our destination is in Russia, more precisely Siberia, a very, very cold pce, as I don't want to put you under more hardship, what do you say if you remain here with Shunrei, while I go alone, and after I'm done, I will e back here and we will go to Japan together?" but she shakes her head and says "No matter how much difficulties I'll meet, I'll e with you, no matter what... I love seeing all the strange pces aing all these wonderful people and I also like helping them, I wasn't this happy sihe death of my mother, a little disfort is no problem!".
And so, after a farewell party, I and Seika once agaiarted my jouraking a poward Russia our st stop, before Japan, where Athena's reination, Saori Kido, is slowly preparing for the ing fight.
Jayr POV - Russia, Siberia - 1984
A few days after leaving the now young master-free a, an achievement that I will be proud of for the rest of my life, we finally reach the cold, cold nds of Siberia in the evening, a vast region in Russia that occupies the northern part of the Asian ti, stretg from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacifi the east.
This region is the training ground of the Hyoga and is close to the region of Blue Graad, and as its geographical position suggests, it is a nd devoid of any form of vegetation and permaly covered with ice, which reaches remarkable thiesses, violent snowstorms rage over this region, driven by strong winds, but even if the ditions are harsh, a vilge mao survive here, and luckily the locals are pretty nice people, and so we quickly find a simple but warm inn and book a room.
Onside our room, I look over Seika to che her and notice that even if she is wearing pretty heavy clothes, she is still shivering from the low temperatures, so I quickly hug her body and burn some o to warm her and raise the overall temperature of the room, and stop shivering, she quickly says "Thanks for that, Jayr! This cold is really awful, how someone live and train in a pce like this?"
Then looking at me she asks "And how the hell you stand here dressed like that!?", as I'm still dressed the same as before, with a smile I reply "I trained my body to easily resist these temperatures even without burning my o, in fact, my body is now even more resilient toward cold after I learhe teiques from the Crateris Cloth, and to answer your question, the Saints and traihat train here are those that make full use of Cold and Ice to fight with their oppos, in fact, the training here is quite brutal, so much that at the moment only two trainees reside here".
With her still in my embrace, I move my lips closer to her ear and whisper "But, you know...? There is another way to warm you up..." then I pull her up in a princess carry and moved toward the bed, as she jokingly yells "Kyaaa!", and sooart our fierce fight, that once again end up with Seika tapping out, after only 2 hours, and once again I spoon her and lull her to sleep.
The day, we are on the road again, i on reag, the real training ground, and as we walk I'm careful in proteg Seika against the cold using my o, and to distract her, I expin the yout of this area "...It is an area made up of different regions that be divided into three maihe low western Siberian pin, the tral Siberian pteau, aern Siberia, formed by a plicated raphic system and imposing mountain barriers"
Then pointing at our objective I tihe id inhospitable area over there, is where Hyoga is receiving the training of the Aquarius Saint Camus, it is only a small outer part of the remote eastern Siberia, and is located he arctic gcial o, where the ground is deeply aually frozen, only thawing superficially in summer f ss...".
Hearing that Seika asks "Just what kind of training one do in this pce?" and I expin to her "The training of the Saints here, sists basically iing themselves to break walls of ice produg an even more intense cold thanks to their o or even sometimes, acc to the variant of the teique, to exert themselves on por bears which have the misfortuo e to veoo close to them, but also swimming in the freezing water, and attuning themselves to the cold by standing still ahemselves be frozen...".
Once again Seika let out a sigh and says "You Saints are a crazy bunch... More than training, to me it seems, that you all just try to find new ways to kill yourself!" and I say "e on, It's not so bad! While there are deaths, they are not so many, in fact, most of the trainee gives up and bees guards or soldiers..." as I'm talking I notiething in the distance, pointing at it I say "...Oh! It seems that we have arrived".
What we see in the distance is a tall man of slim build, his hair is viridian, and his eyes are blue with pink plexion, wearing only a simple green sleeveless shirt and jeans, looking down at the ground, I easily reize him as Aquarius Camus, and following his gaze I notice that in front of us there is a frozen ke, and through the ice, I see two figures quickly swimming in the freezing water.

[colpse]As we move closer, Camus notices our presend I say in french "Bonjour, Je me appellee Jayr, et suis un Sainte de Athena...(Good M, my name is Jayr, and I am a Saint of Athena...)" but he interrupts me, and in a cold voice he replies in greek "There is no need for pleasantries, speak why are you here... Did the Pope summon me?".
I shake my head and reply "No, but what I'm gonna say has something to do with him..." and then I once agai the whole story, about Saga being corrupted by Hades' follower, him trying to kill Athena, the situation of the old Saint, how I warhem about this and our pns, as I was telling my story, Camus' expression didn't ge at all 'Just like show in the anime, he likes to keep a stant trol on his emotion, and even if he appears a stoic, cold and distant person, that it's not true, as during the story he helped and protected his student many times even at the cost of his own life'.
After I finished my story, and before Camus could say anything, two figures quickly breaks out of the id nded in front of Camus with their back turoward me, one is a young man with a slim build and 1.73 meters tall, with blonde hair and blue eyes and tanned plexion, dressed in a navy blue sleeveless shirt, bck pants, yellow leg warmers and matg shoes, he is Hyoga, most used word is Mama, seost used is Master, and the third one is Isaak.

[colpse]The other young man has the same age and has a simir attire only the shirt is bck, the pants are green, the leg warmers lid the shoes purple, he has greeousled shoulder-length warm green hair, and long sideburns, he is the other disciple of Camus, his first one in fact Isaak, the one who will bee a Marinas of Poisedon if I do not do anything about it, and I will certainly do something if I , who quickly says "Master, we are done, what's ...?".

[colpse]But soon both of them notice our presend Hyoga raises his guard and yells "Who are you!?" while Isaak does the same and prepares to fight, but the only ahey receive is Camus' cold voice "It took you this long to notice that someone else was here... If it was an enemy you would have been already dead... Now, go and refle this by standing still in the Ice Cave until ys are frozen!", and slightly dejected they both say "Yes, Master!".
Ohey are gone, Camus turns his attention bae and in aionless voice he says "While I had some suspis on the Pope for some time, and what you say is logical, you prove that what you said is the truth? If I'm gonna make a move, I want to be sure of it!" and hearing that I think 'For the love of Athena!... Just how many really suspect Saga or know what he is doing but do not do anything about it! There is Shaka, Mu, Dohko, Camus, Shura, Deathmask, Aphrodite... that is already more than half the Gold Saints... But they took the wait-and-see approad got surprised with their pants down and a glowing sign on their back that said "Surprise me"!'.
With a sigh, I quickly let down my Pandora Box and open it, showing the steltion Form of my Cloth, and say "Well, I show you my Cloth ability to show an instance of a future ected to you, if you have any more doubts about me, you simply tact Master Dohkh o, as I already meet him..." then taking out a bottle of frozen water, I lightly burn my o to melt it and pour the water in the Cloth, and make space for Camus.
Camus moves his gaze to me and the Cloth a few times, then he calmly walks toward it, and once he is near enough, he gazes at the water inside, which quickly begins to show an image, it shows the Image of Camus using his Freezing Coffin on Hyoga iemple of Libra, then after looking at the frozen figure of Hyoga, he does a strange series haure and quietly walks away.
I 't help to say as I notice what the gesture means "Did you just talk to yourself through the vision using the sign nguage?", and with the slight hint of a smile Camus replies "It seems that what your Cloth shows is the most probable shape that the future will take at the moment that one gaze at the water, in fact before looking I decided that I will use what it will show to unicate with myself about something that I'm thinking at this moment...".
And once again, I blurt out "And at this important moment you thought 'I want a chocote ice cream with lots of creams'!?" and Camus calmly replies "It had to be something pletely random so that you couldn't fool me using an illusion or something like that... By the way, it seems that from the vision, in the end, I choose to follow your pn, of using the u caused by Saga to traiher Saints in a trolled manner... but ohing baffles me, why is Hyoga the us Saint? Right now the most talented of the two is without doubt Isaak, Hyoga, while he is a good kid, is too focused on his own desire for strength to recover his mother's corpse, in fact, he doesn't even want to be a Saint, but he's got a firm will and he bee one...".
At that, I do not say anything, and Camus notig my silence says "So you also know what is going to happen... I really don't know if that Cloth ability is a blessing or a curse" and at that I reply "Of course is a blessing, it is a fshlight that shows you the possibilities and danger in front of you, you just have to be careful to not depend on it, after all, it is like starting reading a book starting from the middle, you at least uand a little what is going on, but you will miss maails and information told before, making you jump to the wrong clusion".
'That if you don't already know all the details about past present and future, like me who saw the anime more than a few times', hearing what I said Camus nods, then he says "Very well, I'll take part in this pn of yours to train the new geions of Saints for the ing Holy Wars...", aurns around and walks in the dire of Hyoga and Isaak.
Then a bold idea came to my mind 'This could end up really well or really bad, but if it goes well, Poseidon will lose one of his future Marinas, but if it goes bad, I'll lose the support of one of the main cast... Hah, screw it! The fortune favors the bold! I have already ged a hell lot of things, in case everything goes to hell and Hades win, I'll just pull all my close one in my Soulbouory and escape this Universe with them, then I'll e bad fix everything once I'm stronger!'.
So I quickly follow after Camus and say "Wait! I just had an idea! If this goes well, not only will Hyoga focus more on being a Saint, but we could also ge Isaak's fate!", hearing that Camus stops in pd turn around, then he calmly looks into my eyes as if searg something, and after a few seds he says "Go on...".
I think about how to put in words my idea then I say "I'm sure that right now you are still thinking about how to remove Hyoga's attat to his mother his weakness, after all, you already created whirlpools and typhoons in the o where Hyōga's mother lie further sinking the ship into the water, so he 't go down to see his mother anymore, as you think that his emotions and his feelings of love for his mother are clouding his os preventing him to achieve the awakening of the Seventh Sense, a crucial requirement if one wants to have the hope to survive the ing fight... Am I right?".
Camus's eyes widen slightly for a sed, but he quickly calms himself and nods "Well your idea could work... If Hyoga's personality was like yours... But his love and attat to his family and friends are one of his main strengths, and the things that will push him over his limits time and time again, so why not make use of it... we will pull out from the frozehe ship, and recover his mother's body, then we will protect it behind a wall of ice that only be broken only by reag absolute zero... I think that this will push him in the right dire, after all his mother's body will be in a safe pce, that won't endanger his life and the life of his friend, but he will still need a certain level of strength to reach it".
Camus stays in silehinking about my proposal for a few seds, then he says "...So that is why Isaak didn't bee the us Saint, something happeo him, while he was helping Hyoga or something like that... Very well, let's do it your way..." but then he raises his o and as a gold aura surrounds his body, he starts putting pressure on me and say "But if your pn harms my disciples... I'll e after you no matter what...".
I simply smile and raise my o to match his, and the pale blue aura that envelopes my body turns to gold as for the first time I fully show my trol over the 7th Sense and say "You know, you and Milo are really alike... You don't like to show it, but you guys really care about the others... It's not a surprise that you guys are close friends!" and sooh calm our o at the same time, as Camus turns around and say "Let's go!".
Hyoga POV - Siberia - 1984
It's been almost 5 years since I came here, to train to bee a Saint uhat bastard of my father's order, luckily the pce I was sent is this, Siberia, the closest training ground to mom resting pce, it is almost like fate, that I'm once again here where I forever lost my dearest person.
And luce again smiles on me, introdug Isaak and Master Camus into my life, Isaak, my best friend, that even if he dislike my motive to bee a Saint, he still supported me, unlike me who just he strength of a Saint to rea's tomb, he wants to rid the world of injustid evil, I'm sure that he would bee a wonderful Saint.
At the same time, Master Camus is like the father I never had, while he is cold, stoid strict, he always cares for me and Isaak, making sure that we reaaximum potential as Saints, but this aspect of his is also what makes me think that he is the one who caused mom's tomb to further sink, now protected by those strong currents, but that didn't ge my objective, I just o get a little stronger in order to safely reach that pce, I'm close, I feel it.
All of the sudden, I hear Isaak's voiext to me, whs me back from my musing "Hey, Hyoga! Who do you think those guys are? From what I saw one of them appears to be a Saint... Why do you think he came all the way here in this remote pce", without thinking much I reply "Well, he surely e here for meeting Master, I do not know if it is for summoning him to the Sanctuary or for a personal reason...".
At the same time, I notice that our feet are starting to freeze, and ice is slowly f up s, 'The first time few times this happened, I easily panicked and had to stop, now I find the presence of ice almost f...', as we were chatting, we suddenly stop, as we hear the sounds of footsteps ing from the entrance of the Icy Cave, and soon we see our Master together with a young man around e, calmly walking beside him, with a young woman walking slightly behind them.
The sed something immediately catches my attention, while it is normal for the young man to easily withstand the freezing cold of the Icy Cave, the woman who is wearing very heavy clothes, and is obviously a normal person, su enviro should be lethal, but she is easily standing here, seemingly ued by the cold, but my fusion transform into admiration as I notice the young man's o proteg the woman from all the harm.
Ohey stand in front of us, Master Camus starts speaking "Isaak, Hyoga, this is Crateris Jayr, Silver Saint of Athena, he is a guest, and came here to warn me about a ing danger and also helped me find an answer for a problem I was fag... Now, follow me!".
And still fused, we both break out of the id follow, Master and the two guests, while walking, I look at the young Saint 'Crateris Jayr, a Silver Saint... The sed stro css of Saint, does he have the kind power I need...?' but my thoughts were once again interrupted by Isaak's voice who asks "Mister Jayr... Hoeople you saved? And how many evil people did you stop and kill?".
Jayr looks at Isaak for a moment then he says scratg his cheek "Well on saving lives... I kinda lost the t... But on killing evil I tell you in full fidehat the number is only 1!" hearing that both me and Isaak are stunned, but Jayr ig and with a smile tinues "You have to know that before being a Saint, I'm a doctor, so if possible, I don't ever want to take the life of another person... I prefer to save it!" the out a sigh and say "But I also know that some people are just irremediable or pure evil that will force my hand to put an end ohis is what my grandfather taught me..." thearts telling us his experience, and as he talks to us with a sad smile on his face, the woman moves o him and hold his hand, trying to fort and support him.
After some time, I notice that we are moving closer and closer to mom's tomb and I start feeling a sinking premonition, that grows stronger as we stop in front of the frozen sea, where the ship in whi died rest, and I 't help to ask "W... Why are we here, Master...?" and Master Camus without leaving his gaze from the sea says "We are here for you two... I know of your pn of visiting your mother once you think you are strong enough... But thanks to Jayr here I also know the result of your as... So we came up with another solution..." and then he pces his hand on the frozen surface as dread grows in my heart.
Soon a gold aura es out of Master's body, and I feel his immense o, at the same time, I notice that in the distance, a huge circle of frozen surface melts, and at the same time with a rumbling sound the water bees agitated, then after a few minutes, a big old damaged cruise ship that I'll never be able tet emerges from the water, levitate high in the air and moves closer toward us, as tears unsciously came out of my eyes, while I ch my fist so tight that blood starts ing out.
Then as soon as the ship nds near us, I run toward it ign, Isaak's shout "Hyoga! Wait!!", with a leap I jump on the deck, and quickly run ihe ship following my memory to find, what once was our room, and now became mom's tomb, and walking through the broken door I find her figure resting on her bed, the cold preserved her body and she is just a beautiful as I remember, with pale skin and long blonde hair and the same light pink dress of that fateful day, my mom Natassia, as I'm looking at her lifeless body, my vision begins to blurry as I kneel o her.

[colpse]After a few moments, I hear a set of footsteps, that ehe room, but just as I was about to turn around and thank my Master for what he did, I feel something invisible pullioward the broken door, and then before I could uand what is happening I hear Jayr's voice that yells in an almost anding tone "Quick, Camus! Use your stro Freezing Coffing on her!", and in despair, I look at Master that even if a little fused, quickly follows Jayr's instru and raise his right arm then as his o explodes he once again points at mom's body and sends out a freezing wave that quickly encases her corpse in a giant block of clear ice.
