Wanderings
“What are you doing?”
“Wondering why this piece of metal is so important to her.” Shaina spoke not minding about Marin listening to her referring to Athena so disrespectfully.
“You should be careful, Shaina.” Marin responded, worried about her companion’s attitude.
“Why is it not a surprise, Marin? Would there ever be a moment in which you won’t defend her?”
“She’s my Goddess, why wouldn’t I do so?”
Shaina remained silent this time. She decided not to have a confrontation with Marin on the matter. Athena was their Goddess, without a doubt. She was just a Silver Saint. She was certain of that. “You’re boring, Marin.” The Amazon got up from the stones and headed back to Sanctuary.
“Shaina, wait!”
“What do you want?”
“The mask protects us—”
“From?”
There was no answer. Shaina smirked and looked at Marin before starting to walk again. “I need no protection then, Marin.”
