Saturn’s heart seized when he realized what the symbol he was looking at was from. It was from that woman that had taken his prior iteration and warped them into the being that he is now. His blood ran cold and his understanding of why echo was nervous blossomed into something he wasn’t expecting. Was echo someone that she had summoned too and he was just trying to hide from her? Or was he one that she was trying to bring into the fold by using his family? It explained so much and rather than get mad at his companion he’d squeeze their shoulder in support.
”They won’t be sacrifices like she was don’t worry.”
”Saturn…?”
Saturn looked down to his companion and his smile was earnest and true. The little mindrache’s eyes seemed to tear up and the demi-god would stride forward. Armor warped itself around his body and the spear came to his hand as though called from a thousand thousand miles away. The guards were immediately alerted and many of them steadied their weapons trying to see what approached.
When the light touched the edges of his armor they all seemed to laugh. A single being was coming at them? There was only one that didn’t laugh and he practically recoiled. Saturn reached a hand out; as though grasping hundreds of throats in an instant. Some men staggered, some fell to the ground. The only one that didn’t seem to take any sort of damage was the one that was wary of him. Using his light to banish the tendrils by moving it around too much. It was okay though. The flat of his blade was enough to knock him out and leave him with the writhing ones in the dirt.
