Shura’s dark brows arched in mild shock to hear Mu and Dohko had returned as well. So he wasn’t the only one. Relieving despite the fact it didn’t lighten his heart entirely. The Capricorn couldn’t truly beat the pessimism out of his system; things seemed rather too good to be true if the Gold Saints were resurrected—
             And when it did happen…trouble brewed.

Could it be a second chance? Shura would’ve rather been thankful if so, to correct his wrongs further seeking redemption…maybe bask in the peace, to bask in normalcy?

“I must admit, I am more than glad to know I am not the only one. I trust those two are well in health? And yes, I suppose it is safe to assume. We tend to come back as a packaged deal—HOPEFULLY for the best.
          But tell me, how have you faired? And of Athena?”

Coming off like he forgot, he tried to quickly muster up a smile. A genuine one to return Shiryu’s attempt even if it grew stiff and odd as if smiling without acting prideful and smug wasn’t something Shura was use to.
           Act normal.

I went to visit the both of them not too long ago when the} NEWS ^{came forth. It would appear that} ALL OF YOU ^{are indeed back. Seiya saw AIOLIA in Greece on his visit to see Marin & Saori-san; she has decided to stay there now. Hyoga tells me that he reunited with Camus in SIBERIA; I can only assume that the rest of you are indeed here within the} LAND OF THE LIVING ^{as well. Where they are–I do not know. ❜}

                                                                                                        ^{Shiryu was aware that his} ATTITUDE ^{was false; an artificial joy he tried to pass off as} REAL ^{when greeted with} THE CAPRICORN SAINT. ^{He had no reason to fear; no reason to hold ILL FEELINGS towards Shura for he saw the error of his ways.} HE LIVED & DIED FOR ATHENA LIKE THE REST OF THEM. ^{He had been given a second chance.}

                                      He could do the same.

                                                                                                        ^{Shiryu poured the tea & allowed his head to raise once more; the smile on his face THIS TIME was not strained as he handed the cup to Shura. ❛ Forgive my misplaced attitude. In truth, it brings me JOY to see that you, along with the other saints, have been given another chance at life. I–I have been} GOOD. ^The TRANQUILITY ^{that has washed over the world is a feeling I cannot say that I know all too well. But, it is nice; it is WELCOMING & allows for a RESTFUL night, finally. ❜}
