PLOT
Throughout a 200-year period, the goddess Athena and the demon Hades engaged in a Holy War in which they battled each other while defending the earth. The story takes set in Europe in the 18th century, 243 years before the first "Saint Seiya." Tenma, Alone, and Sasha, three young children, have all had a very fulfilling childhood together. Tenma, who is assertive and morally upright, has relocated to Sanctuary to become a saint. There, he meets Sasha again and discovers that she is the goddess Athena's reincarnation. Sasha is Alone's sister. The body of the enemy King Hades was chosen for Alone, who is nice, gentle, and enjoys painting. Tenma eventually turns into a saint of Pegasus and fights his best friend Alone, the King of Hades, in a bloody conflict. A prologue to the original Saint Seiya is revealed when Pegasus Tenma, King Hades, and the Goddess Athena merge together due to the twist of their three fates.
