Cassandra blushed on the complement of the man. She wasn't used on hearing these kinds of words directed to her. It's always been her older sister who has been getting these kinds of complements.
The man then explained their purposes on the shrine. Nothing of much was new to the young Greek. It's common to them that once in a while, someone will ask Hephaestus for a Holy Weapon to achieve glory for themselves and the knight, well, he might have just looked for her sister to find Hilde.
But then, there was something that Bearch said that got her attention. ""Forgive me for this, but...if I may be horribly nosy and pry into business that's none of my own, I assume you all are here due to this...'Soul Edge'?" asked the man.
Cassandra was surprised on what he said. "H... how did you know? I mean yes we were talking about it a while ago but how did you found out about it so quickly?"

Hilde felt a smile irresistibly forming on her lips as she heard him. She took his hand once again and squeezed it as she sighed with contentment and serenity.
“That’s the best news I’ve heard so far. You do really know how to comfort a princess in distress,” she said. The small smile on his face caught her by surprise and she squinted as she wondered what was new and different with the man in front of her.
“There is something... different about you which I can’t just figure out. Different in a very positive way. But you definitely look pleasantly better now.”
She glanced about her and noticed how the ten Wolfkrone warriors watched her. She then remembered where she was and what they were going to do before she met Siegfried.
“Come, we have isolated ourselves for so long. I want you to meet the others,” she took his forearm and half dragged him towards the other women. She beckoned them.
“I want you all to meet Siegfried Schtauffen. He was the former wielder of Soul Calibur. He was of great help to me and my people in defeating Soul Edge and his army three years ago.”

Berach shrugged. "I'll be honest, it was a guess. But it's a guess I've been hearing a lot of lately."
He gestured over to Siegfried and Hilde. "These two had their lives drastically affected by this Soul Edge thing. The town I came from had Soul Edge all over the rumor mill. The gentleman Durante mentioned Soul Edge as a similar theme behind all these stories of powerful swords I had. ...If the blade was real, then I'd a hunch that others would be in this holy place for a similar reason. It's...upsetting to hear that it's definitely real."
As Hilde came over to introduce Siegfried to the others, he bowed his head and backed off so that he wouldn't interrupt again. "Oh! Sorry."

As Hilde dragged Siegfried by his forearm, the knight tried to pull himself away from her but to no prevail.. He wasn't used to this kind of greetings being done to him especially to a group of women.
On their way, they passed by Bearch and Greek girl who seemed to be fond of each others company. He then saw Bearch bowing his head as if apologizing to the,
"Hilde, is this really necessary?"asked the knight.

“Hilde, is this necessary?” Siegfried protested as Hilde grasped his arm firmly. She smiled at him, poked her elbow on his rib softly and whispered mischievously, “Hush! I’m trying to increase your social circle!”
With a wink, she added, “You’re my friend and I want the others to know that. Well, you know my warriors already.”
Suddenly, she realized that she interrupted the conversation between a gentleman and Cassandra.
“Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to interrupt, too,” she said.

"I know what you are talking about for I have witnessed what Soul Edge can do to a person. Take my sister as an example, both she and her children were affected by the influence of that cursed sword. And ever since then, their family wasn't the same as before." said the young Athenian with a sad, teary tone.
As she remembers what happened to her sister and her children, tears threatened to fall from her eyes. But that was interrupted when Hilde passed in between them while dragging the forearm of the blonde knight.
"Oh sorry... appologized Bearch as he bowed his head down.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt too." said the princess.
The event only made Cassandra giggle. "It looks like you're enjoying each others' company that you've forgotten about the other persons in here." joked the blond Athenian.

Hilde winced before smiling and chuckling, "I'm sorry. I was... too preoccupied. Let's go then, before the deep night turns deeper."
She took a brief glance at Siegfried before following the two sisters' lead.

The giggling of the Greek girl made Siegfired felt awkward. "I... It's not like that... We just haven't seen each other for so long that we had many stories to share each other." explained the knight as he lowered his head down in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry. I was... too preoccupied. Let's go then, before the deep night turns deeper."
"Uhm... Hilde, where are we actually going to?"

Sophitia attempted to stop Voldo from storming out of the Shrine, until three men had so arrived, forbidding Sophitia to leave after the blind mute. Two of the men she did not recognize, however, the last caught her eye out of familiarity.
"Siegfried Schtauffen..?" The Holy Warrior blinked, half surprised, despite knowing that he was alive after the Soul Swords 'destruction' three years ago, she could not help but feel shocked at his presence.
Meanwhile, whilst Sophitia's eyes doddled in shock, Elysium's eyes narrowed, before her icy lips curled into a somewhat angelic smirk.
"Crystalline Knight." She stated, before her frosty blue eyes clouded with remorse and spite upon remembering how Siegfried betrayed her years ago. Years of loyalty, only to be shattered by this very man.
"I hope you have your reasons for casting your presence upon us." Elysium snarled, flicking her glance between Hilde, Siegfried and Cassandra.

Siegfried heard of an ice cold voice of a woman calling him by his alias that grabbed his attention. Curious who it was, he turned around. What he saw was a woman that was so beautiful that he thought that Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty of Greece, had descended upon them.
"I hope that you have reasons for casting your presence upon us." said the woman with an angry tone.
"She must be the entity of Soul Calibur that Hilde's guards have told me about." said the knight to himself sencing her anger towards him. Suddenly, the events that transpired three years ago came back to him and how he destroyed both swords on the same occasion. Slowly he raised up his head and looked at the woman
"I embarked on this journey only to aid Hilde on her quest to find you as a token of my gratitude for her. But it seems as though there is more to this matter than I've thought there is. It seems as though Soul Edge had been revived as well, seeing that you are standing in front of us in a human form. I also learned that you need men to engage it and its army to a war... Well let's just say that I'll join you in this campaign since Soul Edge's destruction is what we all have in common... But remember this, I'm doing this for Hilde and for humanity... not for you." stated the knight as he turns towards the Hilde and the Greek girl.
Suddenly he stopped and slightly turned his head to get a glance at her. "By the way, I do not regret what I did three years ago. Just to let you know... If ever you find the urge to kill me for revenge after this is over, I don't care. My soul has already been tainted anyway ever since I killed my father.

Elysium scoffed at Siegfried's assumption, yet her pale blue eyes averted away from his glance for a moment in somewhat consideration.
"Don't expect me to pity you, Crystalline Knight. I shall let you live... the guilt will soon devour your soul so I don't have to." Soul Calibur growled, her eyes solid and sharp.
Yet behind these eyes, was another wall of emotion. One in which reacted when Siegfried had said 'Hilde'. The wall in which encased her humanoid heart after he had stated that he was doing this for Hilde's goals and not for Elysium's goals.
The one in which she struggled to veil when Siegfried cast his cerulean eyes onto her...
What is this weak emotion I have gained...?
Sophitia meanwhile, nodded in agreement to Siegfried's intentions. For what she could see, Siegfried and Hilde had known each other before, it only made sense that he would decide to travel with them for Hilde and not for Soul Calibur.[avatar]http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/5402/rosafarrell124x275.jpg[/avatar]

Seeing that an argument might start again, Cassandra immediately rushed in between the two.
"Hey guys, let's just settle down and relax for a while. After all we did not all come here just to start a fight with one another right?" said the younger sister.

Suddenly, one of the Greek women stood between Siegfried and the entity of Soul Calibur. "Hey guys, let's just settle down and relax for a while. After all we did not all come here just to start a fight with one another right?"
"No need to worry Fraulein. I'm not here to cause any problems or look for a fight. As I've said a while ago, all of us have a common goal and whatever differences we had on the past, we should not let it cloud our priority." said the knight as he looked towards the entity of Soul Calibur.
With that, he turned back to Hilde and continued to follow her.

Soul Calibur curled her fists out of her own agitation. Siegfried used to rely on her all these years... but why not now? What has he gained over the three years they were apart? More power? A power strong enough to resist her own? "Crystalline Knight." Elysium called out to Siegfried for him to stop, before approaching him once again. She gritted her teeth, her stubbornness still present, before she mumbled. "I apologize... for my actions. If you wish to destroy me once Soul Edge has been destroyed... so be it."
What's wrong with me?! Why are you giving in to this fool? He is just a traitorous human like the rest of them!
Elysium extended a hand out to Siegfried. "Forgive me."
______
Sophitia approached Cassandra, her arms glued to her sides, observing the scene before them.
"Voldo's gone... we need to find him... he promised to help us." Sophitia whispered to her younger sister, upon remembering that the blind mute had vanished. "I want to help him too... I understand what he's going through..."[avatar]http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/5402/rosafarrell124x275.jpg[/avatar]

"Crystalline Knight!" Soul Calibur's voice had once again stopped Siegfried on his tracks to get his attention.
"What is it now?" asked the knight. Who was starting to get annoyed.
Slowly, the entity started to approach Siegfried, although hesitating to get closer to him seeing that there is still tension going on between them.
"I apologize... for my actions. If you wish to destroy me once Soul Edge has been destroyed... so be it."
Soul Calibur's statement made the knight turn around to her and think. Why the sudden change of heart? Siegfried kept thinking what was the reason about it. Maybe it's the human form. Taking in shape even the emotions that a regular person feels. But still he failed to find the reason why...
He then approached her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I did not meant for your destruction three years ago... My original plan was to seal you with Soul Edge away in an embrace of souls in the Lost Cathedral to neutralize the both of you until Nightmare came and ruined everything. Then at Ostrheinsburg, we managed to defeat him and destroy Soul Edge. But you left me without a choice. You started to crystallize everything in sight without any remorse. So, I did what I did. I still plan on doing what originally intended on sealing you two both to have balance in the world. But maybe... my mind could change." explained the knight.
