The sun was beginning to set, the skies now painted shades of amber and gold, the rays of light glistening off the peak of the hill, where Eurydice Shrine stood, the shrine almost reminiscent of the heavens from afar.
Returning from the shrine was a Grecian woman with thick blonde hair, alongside a peculiarly dressed man who was in fact blind and speechless.
Sophitia and Voldo had arrived at the Alexandra family house, a slightly larger house in comparison to the surrounding residences, to host over five people: herself, her husband, Rothion Alexandra, her father and mother, Achelous and Nike Alexandra, her sister and brother, Cassandra and Lucius Alexandra, and her son, Patroklos. Her daughter was left unmentioned due to her absence...
"We have arrived!"
Sophitia introduced, before clarifying with the blind one, "My husband and my brother is working at the blacksmith, they most likely will be working late, as will my mother and father at the bakery... my sister should be at home, but in any case, she's more than likely gone for a wander. As for my son..." The Holy Warrior explained as she unlocked her door, "... he should be asleep now!"

Their conversation was interrupted when they saw a person opening the door. She had also pale skin like Sophitia but she had a shorter blond hair.
Seeing her older sister had already came back from her visit at the Eurydice Shrine, Cassandra gave her sister a warm embrace.
Sis, you're back.
Suddenly, something caught her eye. She noticed the strange man next to her sister. Curious about him, she decided to ask her about the man.
Sis, who is he and what's with the strange hissing?

Sophitia has waltzed in, followed by Voldo whilst she had been explaining where her entire family were. Conincidentally, as soon as she had mentioned her sister, the door had creaked open, a young woman whose looks resembled her own.
Her sister, Cassandra Alexandra.
With a bright smile, the younger sister took the elder sister into an embrace, welcoming her home.
"Sis, you're back."
"Cassandra!" Sophitia mused as she hugged her back, before the younger sister questioned Voldo's presence.
"Sis, who is he and what's with the strange hissing?"
Sophitia paused before chuckling light-heartedly, explaining to the younger Alexandra, "This is my new friend, Voldo. He agreed to help me on my search for Pyrrha..."
The older Grecian then turned to the blind one with a warm smile, "Voldo, this is my sister, Cassandra."

The young Grecian, Patroklos Alexandra was about to play at the garden with his wooden mini-vehicles just for fun, thought his aunt asured him to spend some time with him after her business work at his parent's house, but instead she made her way over to the door to look after the person who neared their home.
Just out of curiousity, the young blonde boy approaches over to Casandra to look at the people who just arrived their home ... and surpriced, he wides his eyes. His mother finally came back from her journey from searching ... Thought ... Where's Pyrrha?
"MOMMY!!!" he shouts over to his mother and runs over to her to hug her as tight as he can on the level of her knees. He didn't really notice that strange person next to her, he simply cared more for his mother. Only for her ...[avatar]http://i46.tinypic.com/2evyex1.png[/avatar]

At first the thought of a blind person helping her older sister search for her daughter seemed preposterous but then, she remembered that a few years back, Sophitia was termed demented by her parents when she told hem about her quest on finding the cursed sword and Cassandra was the only one who saw the effects of Soul Edge to her. So, she believed her.
The older Grecian then turned to the blind one with a warm smile, "Voldo, this is my sister, Cassandra."
Nice to meet you Voldo. said the younger sister with a delighted tone.
Suddenly a young boy ran towards Cassandra. It was his nephew, Patroklos. She had forgotten that she promised to play with the boy that day because she had some errands to do.

Sophitia was pleased with Cassandra's reaction; at first the Holy Warrior thought that her younger sister would disapprove of the peculiarly dressed man in their household, however, she was more than welcoming to the elder man.
At that moment, a scattering of footsteps was heard, and before long, a voice followed, "MOMMY!!!"
Sophitia, recognizing the voice as her son's, beamed with delight, embracing him as soon as he reached her open arms, nuzzling herself into him with a motherly smile. "Patroklos!"
Hearing Voldo's thoughts with her newly acquired skill, Sophitia smiled. "Voldo, this is my son, Patroklos."
Soon after she had introduced him to her son, Sophitia clapped her hands in a concluding manner. "Right, I shall prepare dinner. Would anyone prefer anything to eat at all?"

As his beloved mother embraced him, she introduced him to another person next to her, whom he didn't really notice before. He looked up and all the small boy could notice was .... his very strange and unique appearance. Strange and unique in a scary way. That's how Patroklos rather feels like, after he considered Voldo.
His mother then questioned for the today's dinner, what she should cook this time. All the blonde boy did was either keep clinching on his mother and lighly tries to hide from that person. "M-mommy .... Who is he? He looks so strange ..."[avatar]http://i46.tinypic.com/2evyex1.png[/avatar]

Noticing her nephew's reaction towards the blind person, Cassandra approached her nephew and crouched down to his level. Patroklos, don't be afraid. He's a friend. He'll help your mother find Pyrrha. said the younger sister. She then lowered her voice to whisper something to the boy. And if he scares you again or do something bad, just tell me and I'll whack him ok? jokingly said Cassandra while winking her eye.
"Right, I shall prepare dinner. Would anyone prefer anything to eat at all?"
Coming all the way from the top of Eurydice Shrine, Cassandra thought that Sophitia must be tired already. Don't worry about dinner Sis. I'll do it myself.gladly said the younger sister.I think they would like Mama's special stew. It's you're favorite anyway.

"M-mommy .... Who is he? He looks so strange ..."
"Patroklos, don't be afraid. He's a friend. He'll help your mother find Pyrrha."
Sophitia simply smiled as Cassandra explained to Patroklos about the situation of finding his sister.
It would seem that her efforts alone do not fare in finding her daughter... perhaps she needed more help other than Voldo...
The Holy Warrior had considered her sister to aid her in her quest, however, Sophitia cannot afford to leave Patroklos unattended to...
"And if he scares you again or do something bad, just tell me and I'll whack him ok?"
"Cassandra!" Sophitia, overhearing what Cassandra had told her son, had scolded her lightheartedly for her implications and influence on her nephew.
"Don't worry about dinner Sis. I'll do it myself. I think they would like Mama's special stew. It's you're favorite anyway."
Being the considerate younger sister, Cassandra had offered to make dinner on behalf of Sophitia. "Thank you Cassandra..." Sophitia was grateful for the offer, gesturing her son and Voldo over to the dinner table at which they can be seated until Cassandra prepares the dinner.
"Please, take a seat Voldo." Sophitia bent over to her son, picking him up with a maternal smile, seating him down for him. "If you will excuse me, Voldo, I must talk to my sister for a moment or two. I won't be too long!"
Sophitia, after apologizing for leaving her guest unattended, had made her way over to the kitchen where Cassandra had already begun to cook. "Cassandra... I need to talk to you about finding Pyrrha."

At the kitchen, Cassandra was preparing the ingredients for the meal she was cooking. It's a bit hard to prepare but she knew that everyone would like it. While she was cooking, Sophitia came to the kitchen.
What's up Sis? asked Cassandra.
"Cassandra... I need to talk to you about finding Pyrrha." asked the older sister with a rather serious tone.
No need to ask Sis. You know that I am more than willing to help you find Pyrrha. She means a lot to me as well.

He's also a good person who's willing to help his mother for the re-search of Pyrrha? Well, sounds fine for Patroklos, nevertheless he isn't really sure about Voldo's appearance. He still seems a danger for him, but however, even his aunt assured him not to worry about Voldo. As she says: he's a good guy?
However, both his mother and Cassandra were still talking about what they shall prepare for the dinner and he instandly had his favourite meal in mind ... though, would the others like it too? He pulled on his mother's skirt to make attentive to him."Mommy, mommy! I would like Pita please. It's so tasty! Please make some!"[avatar]http://i46.tinypic.com/2evyex1.png[/avatar]

"No need to ask Sis. You know that I am more than willing to help you find Pyrrha. She means a lot to me as well." Sophitia was relieved that Cassandra was willing to help her, which she had no doubts that she would refuse, however, there was another problem...
"Thank you Cassandra... however, what about Patroklos? I don't want to risk leaving him here--"
The Grecian mother was interrupted by a tugging at her navy blue, draping dress, to find the very son she was talking about staring back up at her with wide eyes.
"Mommy, mommy! I would like Pita please. It's so tasty! Please make some!"
Sophitia smiled warmly, before nodding at her son's request. "Of course dear, mommy shall make you some pitta bread..." The Holy Warrior swooped Patroklos up into her arms before carrying him back to the dinner table and pecking him on the head. "Mommy and Aunt Cassandra are almost done making dinner now."
The Holy Warrior then returned to the kitchen to finish her sentence before Patroklos had ran in. "I don't want to risk leaving him here on his own... I would love for you to assist me... yet I don't want to lose him as well."
Losing Patroklos as well as Pyrrha due to her being away from home is almost suicide worthy for the Grecian mother. She cannot bear to lose both of them.
"What can I do, Cassandra?" Sophitia was... helpless. The loss of Pyrrha had gotten to her...

At the kitchen, Cassandra was cooking for dinner. She already have the soup boiling at the stove and some ingredients to be chopped at the counter. While she about to chop them, Sophitia came to the kitchen with a serious look on her face.
"Cassandra... I need to talk to you about finiding Pyrrha." said the older sister.
No need to ask Sis. You know that I am more than willing to help you find Pyrrha. She also means a lot to me as well.
Sophitia knew that Cassandra wouldn't hesitate to help her. However, she noticed a problem. Thank you Cassandra... however, what about Patroklos? I don't want to risk leaving him here--" Shew was worried that all of they are away, the kidnapper might come back for Patroklos.
"I... I don't know Sis... I...
Their conversation was suddenly interrupted when Patroklos came running towards his mother."Mommy, mommy! I would like Pita please. It's so tasty! Please make some!" yelled the boy.
His presence really lightened up the moods of the two sisters, setting aside their problems for a while. Sophitia then lowered to her son's level and warmly nodded.
"Of course dear, mommy shall make you some pitta bread..."
She then carried the boy in her arms and placed him back at the dining table.
At the kitchen, Cassandra was still thinking on what to do. She badly wanted to help her sister find Pyrrha but at the same time she was also worried about her nephew. Her thoughts were stopped when Sophitia returned.
"I don't want to risk leaving him here on his own... I would love for you to assist me... yet I don't want to lose him as well What can I do Cassandra." asked the older sister.
"Honestly Sis, I don't know what to do as well... I really want to help you find Pyrrha and at the same time, I want to look after you as well. You barely came back alive the last time you embarked on a journey and you now have a family. .. They can't afford to lose you... I don't want to sound selfish Sis but I feel so useless when I'm just here doing nothing... But still, I also don't want anything to happen to Patroklos."
The kitchen was filled with silence for a while when suddenly, Cassandra thought of an idea. "Hey wait a minute Sis,. What if we leave him with Mama and Papa? They can look after him when Rothion and Lucius are working and could even take him to the bakery and teach him how to make bread..." suggested the younger sister.

"Honestly Sis, I don't know what to do as well... I really want to help you find Pyrrha and at the same time, I want to look after you as well. You barely came back alive the last time you embarked on a journey and you now have a family. .. They can't afford to lose you... I don't want to sound selfish Sis but I feel so useless when I'm just here doing nothing... But still, I also don't want anything to happen to Patroklos."
Sophitia considered Cassandra's dilemma as she thought for herself as to what to do with Patroklos. The Holy Warrior even considered taking Patroklos with her on her quest, but after a moment of thought, she shunned herself for thinking of such a disastrous plan. How can she even think of taking Patroklos head on to the danger, at such a young age?
The Grecian mother began to knead the dough she had already prepared for Patroklos' request of pitta bread, both sisters still thinking over what they should do whilst they were cooking dinner.
"Hey wait a minute Sis,. What if we leave him with Mama and Papa? They can look after him when Rothion and Lucius are working and could even take him to the bakery and teach him how to make bread..."
Sophitia lightened up at the idea, despite being wary. She and Cassandra had both been away from home during the time of Pyrrha's kidnapping... what can stop the kidnapper from seizing Patroklos, even when he had their parents there to protect him?
Tira was... psychotic. Sophitia could remember this from the time in which she was Soul Edge's servant... the Grecian mother knew very well that nothing stops her. She kills heartlessly and without emotion. By keeping Patroklos with Nike and Achelous, it only puts them at risk.
However, Sophitia decided to opt for Cassandra's idea and put faith in her parents. After all, they had raised her without any harm or danger; hopefully this will apply in Patroklos' case.
"That's a great idea Cass... hopefully he shall be safe there." Sophitia smiled thankfully as she shaped the dough into a pitta shape, rolling it out flat before placing it near the fire flickering out of the bread oven in order for the pitta to be baked.
"How is the soup getting on?" Sophitia peeped nearer to Cassandra to check on the progress herself, before nodding. "I shall serve the pitta first, until it is ready." The Grecian piled the pitta bread slices onto a plate, taking a bowl of mixed feta cheese and black olives with olive oil in the other hand, and serving it to Patroklos and Voldo, placing it onto the table.
"The soup is still getting ready, so eat the pitta before it gets cold."

At the kitchen, the sisters were still thinking of a way on what to do with Patroklos while cooking for dinner. For a moment, there was silence on the room until Cassandra thought of an idea. She proposed to leave him with their parents so that they could watch over him while they were away.
At first, Sophitia thought that the idea was a joke, considering that the kidnapper was a heartless wrench that would kill anything that stand on its path, putting everybody in harm's way. But after much deliberation on her mind, she decided to go with Cassandra's plan.
"That's a great idea Cass... hopefully he shall be safe there." gladly said the older sister.
"Trust me Sis, he's going to be alright. Besides, I'm even more afraid of Papa when he is mad than seeing Hades himself." said the younger sister jokingly making Sophitia giggle while she was making the pitta bread.
"How is the soup getting on?" asked the older sister.
"Just give me a minute Sis, it's almost done. Just need some finishing touches."
Nodding her head, Sophitia began piling up the pita bread in a plate, together with olives and feta cheeze."I shall serve the pita bread first, until it is ready." She then went out of the kitchen and served the bread to Patroklos and Voldo.
"The soup is still getting ready, so eat the pitta before it gets cold." said the older sister.
Just before, they could dig in on the pitta bread, Cassandra entered the dining room, holding a tray, filled with soup on her hands. "Soup's done! Sorry for making you guys wait. so long"
She then placed the tray at the table, eager to hear their responses about her cooking.
