Cassandra's attention was then turned to Elysium when she halted the knight. Her voice was somewhat softer, warmer and less hostile than before. For what reason however, she did not know.
Suddenly the knight slowly approached her and placed his hand on her shoulder and started to talk to her. Deciding to give them privacy, Cassandra decided to turn back to her sister. She note that she was feeling down and sad and somewhat felt abandoned. After all, Voldo left them after promising to help her sister to look for her daughter.
Slowly she approached her and gave Sophitia a warm embrace. "Don't worry Sis. I'm sure he'll keep his promise after what he had said. It's probably just self defense on his part from the words that Elysium was throwing at him. After all, he seemed to be a nice man seeing that he is willing to lend his hand to help people who need it. I'm certain that we will see him again so turn that frown upside down" said the younger sister as Cassandra tried to lighten her sister up.

Berach quietly sifted through the scene. A man knew when to be silent and when to speak--and he believed now was definitely the time for the former. He might have still been learning about the ways of the outside world and different cultures, but he still knew common courtesy. The crystal knight apparently had a history with the ethereal woman. She seemed hurt by him, and he seemed jilted by her. Ex-lovers, perhaps? Maybe a girlfriend and boyfriend that had gone through a bad break-up? He let out a low whistle. What a shame, she was quite a looker. The four women and the knight were apparently on a mission of some kind. Perhaps something to do with this Soul Edge. And one of the blondes seemed upset over a man that had left. Maybe it was the man that had come storming out of the shrine, that they had encountered?
So many questions. Not enough answers. He frowned. He barely knew these people, but already he could tell that heavy situations weighed down on their shoulders, especially with Soul Edge involved. He wanted to help--but there wasn't a lot he could do, not to mention it was quite possible it was a personal family matter. Without any knowledge of the situation or any idea of who was involved, it was likely he'd make matters worse. Who was he to try and butt in? He turned to Durante and nodded. "I don't think we're likely to hear from Hephaestus at the moment. Perhaps we should return later, when we're less likely to trouble our beautiful hosts."

When Berach addressed to him, he then crosses his arms. "Well, we could do that, but where would we go? Not to mention that we would then have to trek all the way back down and even later climb all the way back up." Durante was staying silent earlier trying to analyze the situation, trying to figure out the pieces together.

Soul Calibur froze up when Siegfried's hand placed itself on her shoulder, causing Elysium to clear her throat and edge back slightly, her eyes continuing to maintain eye contact with the Crystalline Knight.
"If you are willing to change your mind, I'd make it certain it will be a decision you will not regret." Elysium swallowed, before extending her hand out for agreement of this deal.
----
Sophitia sighed, embracing her younger sister back, before glancing back at the living sword and her once wielder. "I think we ought to find him... after all, Voldo hasn't been to Greece before from what I could gather... he's definitely foreign. He might get lost."

Lucius finished climbing the many stairs of the temple and remembered why he didn't come here too often. But he thought Sophitia and maybe Cassandra were here, so he went to see.
Since Pyrrha's kidnapping he always feared for his family and wondered if they really were here or attacked by some crazy girl with a ringblade.
But he was reassured when he saw both his sisters a little further in the temple and told himself with a small smile he was being paranoid once again.
But he also noticed the many people gathered there. Was there something special? He didn't wish to intrude... Yet he began walking toward his sisters. If there was something, they would tell him and if he had to go he would and if not, he would stay. As he came by his beloved sisters, he smiled and told them, not too loudly to not bother what was going on:
"Hi, Sophie, Cassie"
After gazing once more at the other people, he continued:
"I just finished working and Rothion is home. I came to search for you... Is something going on?"

Soul Calibur's words, now, somehow felt warm and inviting which was the opposite of her personality a while ago. I still bothered the knight on what was the reason behind her sudden change of heart.
"I'll make sure to add that into consideration. Until then, you can count on me to be fighting by your side."[/i] explained Siegfried.
With a final look at Soul Calibur, he turned his attention back to Hilde and the two sisters who were about to leave when suddenly a new person came inside the shrine. The person looked much alike the two Greek sisters with the difference of being a man. Siegfried then thought that he was their brother.

Sophitia's teal blue eyes wandered to the entrance of the shrine, where she found a young blonde man entering, causing Sophitia to smile warmly.
It was her brother, Lucius.
"Lucius!" Sophitia beamed, drawing her brother close into an embrace, before pulling apart at his comment. "Rothion's home?" She questioned with a somewhat surprised tone, before glancing in Elysium and Siegfried's direction to answer his question.
"It's a long story..." Sophitia chuckled somewhat, continuing with a calm demeanor, "This is Siegfried Schtauffen, the warrior who wielded Soul Calibur... and this... is Soul Calibur herself." Sophitia explained as she gestured a hand out in Elysium's direction.
------------
Elysium's attention was suddenly caught by the Holy Warrior, who was now gesturing her hand out to explain to her brother as who she was.
Raising an eyebrow, she surveyed all three of the Alexandras stood alongside each other, before letting out a 'tsk'.
They were all just like the other. Strong built, with the same blonde hair and eyes.
--------
"We were just about to leave to find Voldo... another acquaintance of ours..." Sophitia trailed off at the thought, considering whether she should as Lucius to go with them.
"Can you help us..?"

"Rothion's home?"
"Yes. He was tired and went to see Patroklos. I think they are both sleeping now in your bed."
As Lucious asked his sister about what was going on, the Greek warrior replied:
"It's a long story... This is Siegfried Schtauffen, the warrior who wielded Soul Calibur..."
Lucius widened his eyes as he glanced at the knight. The Crystal knight… He was a hero… It was normal he would hang out with Sophitia who was a Holy warrior. Somehow this gathering seemed really important with all those people, there were even many soldiers and their leader… But he was even more astounded as he heard the rest.
"and this... is Soul Calibur herself."
His jaw dropped.
"What?"
He was speechless and could find anything more to say : Too many questions were coming to his mind at the same time. What was going on here? Surely they must be about to find Pyrrha if they have Soul Calibur’s assistance! Sophitia did not lose her time for gathering all those people… As he stared at Soul Calibur, thinking she looked like a goddess or angel, Sophitia continued speaking.
"We were just about to leave to find Voldo... another acquaintance of ours... Can you help us..?"
Coming back to the conversation, Lucius replied:
"Of course I can help you! It would be my pleasure!"
He was glad if he could help his sisters on anything. With all those important people gathered here, he felt like he or his helping offer were worthless. So if he could help on something, it would be great.
"... Find him, like you don’t know where he is now? What does he looks like? Is he in the city or outside of the city?"

Lucius then asked his sisters:
"What is this army over there? Who is the leader of it? The armored woman or the armored man? They both seemed like leaders... Is the other a general? And who is that other man? He doesn't seem like he belongs in the army... He looks from another country... A druid? Are the druids in good terms with the Greek gods?"
He did wonder if they would go altogether with the army, the Soul Calibur wielder and Soul calibur herself to get this Voldo or if Sophitia only meant the family... But he was curious about the others though...

Right as the two sisters broke from their embrace,a familiar face appeared at the entrance of the shrine. It was their youngest sibling Lucius. "Hi, Sophie, Cassie. I just finished working and Rothion is home. I came to search for you... Is something going on?" asked the young man as he greeted his sisters.
Hey Bro. greeted the younger sister back as she walked towards Lucius with Sophitia.
The older sister then explained to him what had transpired inside the shrine and pointed out the entity of Soul Calibur which was famous throughout Europe and its former wielder who was considered a hero for destroying Soul Edge. Lucius was astound on what his sister pointed out. But then, his astonishment was interrupted when Sophitia asked her brother.
"We were just about to leave to find Voldo... another acquaintance of ours... Could you help us?"
Of course I can help you! It would be my pleasure! Find him, like you don’t know where he is now? What does he looks like? Is he in the city or outside of the city?" asked Lucius. But before the sisters could answer, he followed up with another question. "What is this army over there? Who is the leader of it? The armored woman or the armored man? They both seemed like leaders... Is the other a general? And who is that other man? He doesn't seem like he belongs in the army... He looks from another country... A druid? Are the druids in good terms with the Greek gods?"
Cassandra somehow had a hard time on where to start but she decided first with Voldo. She then told her brother the description of the man. "Well, first off, he is blind. He also holds two blades and his face is covered with some leather I think. But what sets him apart is his stance. He doesn't stands up properly like the rest of us. Instead, he does like a snaky like posture and hisses like one. So I think you can easily spot him. Question is, where to start?" explained Cassandra.

(OK, this is an OOC note, but Hilde and her followers are no longer in this scene due to Hilde leaving us haha... therefore we have to count Hilde's activities as non existent... so please edit your posts so that it has no mentions of Hilde and her army, kamsahamida~)
Sophitia held a finger to her lip in deep thought as to where Voldo could be. The only way they could find him in time was if they all split up... yet this could be a bad idea too...
The Holy Warrior had turned to the Siegfried and Elysium out of desperation.
"Soul Calibur... we need your help..."
"Help?" Elysium scoffed, "Why would you need my aid?"
"To find Voldo--"
"I'm not prepared to waste my time and energy to search for a mortal who merely dismisses my opinions."
With a small nod, Sophitia turned to make her way back to her siblings, however, Elysium spoke up. "Although I am in need of accommodation for the night..."
The Holy Warrior whipped round upon hearing the living sword's icy voice once again, a broad, warmer smile on her face. "You can stay at my home... you're more than welcome. You too Siegfried." Sophitia nodded in his direction, skipping back over to Cassandra and Rothion.
"I'm going to take Soul Calibur to stay at our home... you two start searching for Voldo together, I'll catch up to you both."

Durante raises his eyebrow. Wait a minute, if this woman is supposed to be the spirit sword, then what the heck is going on? The time for observation has come to a close for him as the mercenary then approaches the supernatural being.
"Excuse me miss, you say you're Soul Calibur right? So... whatever happened to the sword form itself? Not to mention, do you know what's going on with Soul Edge?"

The woman was the legendary sword itself, taken flesh and bone? Or perhaps Soul Calibur wasn't a sword, but rather...a woman? Questions swam all around Berach's head. It wasn't unheard of in stories to have an empathic or intelligent weapon, one that could think and speak--but one that could take human form? It was usually a fancy restricted firmly to the realm of fantasy. And yet, here was the reality, right in front of him. ...Then again, swords of great evil and mighty gods granting boons for holy quests were also fancies restricted to fantasy, and here we was already involved in both. Today was a day of fantasy, it seemed.
Upon being addressed by Lucius, though, he turned over to him and Cassandra. "Ah, hello. My name's Berach, sir. Your eyes serve you well, I'm not really at all involved with anyone or anything here; I came in only recently after leaving my grove, wandering the world." He shrugs, smiling underneath his wolf helmet. "Only a few days later, and here I've found myself in a shrine of the gods, surrounded by warriors and shieldmaidens of great power. Life brings us on strange journeys, yeah?"
Are druids on good terms with the Greek gods? Hmmm. A good question. Druids were the intermediaries between the people, nature, and the divinities--they were the chain that linked together the physical world, the natural world, and the divine world. ...but that was back in Ireland. Was it possible that the gods here knew of his Circle and his role? Would they look favorably on him, or would they dismiss him? Damn. He probably should have brought a small sacrifice.
Pushing the thoughts out of his head, he extended a burly hand towards Lucius. "Regardless. Good to meet you, sir."

Lucius smiled as Berach extended his hand toward him. Indeed there were a lot of interesting people here. Lucius had heard stories of the outside world by his sisters but had in fact never left Athens of his whole life. The outside world was very intriguing to him and now he was meeting some very special people.
"Good to meet you as well, sir. I'm Lucius Alexandra."
He showed Cassandra by his side and Sophitia.
"I'm Cassandra and Sophitia's brother."
He then added:
"So you are really a druid? And a grove is a group of druid, am I right? I don't really know but I try to inform myself about the outside world..."

"I am." He nods, looking out one of the windows of the shrine. A branch of a tree softly swayed in, resting against the walls and brushing against it before the wind pushed it back outside. He felt a pang of sadness. He wondered how his grove was doing.
"A grove is where a group of druids, a Circle, reside. Whether it's a small forest, a large thicket, or simply a gathering of trees and plants, brothers and sisters of a Circle come together to preserve and nurture the beauty of the world around us." He changed the subject quickly, looking down at the three. "Ah, these are your kin?" He nods at Cassandra. "Your sister's already given me quite a warm welcome to Greece. you're lucky to have them as family. What brings you out here? Come to check on them?"
