Audience at the Sanctuary

Barely enthroned, Cattleya — now inhabited by Athena — gives her first audience at the Sanctuary, where the twelve Gold Saints gather to size up this new incarnation of their goddess. But something is off: this generation's Holy War isn't following its expected course, and the Gold Saints themselves begin to sense an invisible hand pulling the strings behind the scenes.

On the Underworld's side, Yoruhime Tsukishima, who has unwillingly become the host of Pandora's soul, tries with her attendant, the Specter Charlotte, to unravel the mystery of the recent upheavals. The shadow of a new enemy, more insidious than Hades himself, begins to take shape behind the ancestral conflict between Sanctuary and Underworld.
