Ten years had passed as Sisphylis grew and did his duties as a Gold Saint. He went wherever Athena or the Grand Master of Sanctuary sent him. He trained eleven students, one of which was slightly older than himself. He was quite proud of his students and did the best he could to serve Athena. So when he was called before her and the Pope, he was quick to be there. He was surprised that the only other saint in the room was Capricorn Persepolis.
Sisphylis nodded slowly as Lady Athena explained to him a complicated plan that she had. She feared that there was a future Crusade that would be lacking an appropriate Sagittarius to fight in. He was found and given the title so that he would be placed into a deep sleep that she would place him in and would wake when the time was right. He was confused as to why she would be born into a human body every 200 years to help lead the Saints in a Holy War against Hades and his Dark Specters. He decided to accept it as one of the mysterious ways in which the gods worked because understanding it hurt too much. She had also mentioned a lady called Pandora and that is why this whole thing was happening. Of course, Capricorn Persepolis was not too happy about this and asked if there was another way. She had said no. The student that Sagittarius Sisphylis trained would become the Sagittarius Saint while he slept.
The next Gold Saint had his own set of armor from a place outside of their little corner of the world called Jamir. It was a hard journey to retrieve all the items from Jamir. It took a month to get everything ready. Athena and Capricorn Persepolis were the only ones left in the room for the ceremony.
Athena orderd Sisphylis to strip so that she could write the runes on his entire body. At some point during this process, he slumped into Capricorn Persepolis' waiting arms. He was covered by a thin sheet and placed in the Capricorn temple to be guarded by Athena's most determined and loyal of Saints. Every Capricorn Saint was told from all that Sisphylis had accomplished and shown his resting place. Each Saint of Capricorn were informed of the part he would play in the future and every Athena would renew the rune upon his forehead.
The time had not yet come as Sisphylis waited for many long years. He would dream of Sanctuary, running around as a child while a few Gold Saints watched over him. Finally, when the time to awaken was near, he would be tucked in by his father figure into a dreamless sleep to awaken to a different world than he would know.

Capricorn El Cid could sense that the time for Sisphylis to awaken was near. The Pope had come to visit the slumbering Saint. With El Cid's help, they started to remove the runes from his feet to his neck. The Pope used life water from Jamir to gently wipe away Athena's mark. He placed his hand on Sisphylis' head. The Pope, a survivor from the previous Crusade, used his cosmos to gently raise Sisphylis to a small degree of consciousness.
"Sagittarius Sisphylis, now is the time to awaken!" The pope burned his cosmos to break through the fog in the Sagittarius Saint's mind. Sisphylis, who was only 18, opened his eyes. El Cid instantly fell in love with this handsome man.
