#interlude 01

When: January, 2130 - after Heteraidia, before Kalavria Summit.

Where: Helicon, Pontius

The last night of Heteraidia was quite eventful for Hera, and she didn’t get to witness the fight between Nyx and one of her children, but she heard enough gossip to know what happened. She considered reaching out to Nyx, mother to mother, but she couldn’t find her old friend in time, and that is not a matter Hera would like to discuss over Tala.

She was pleasantly surprised to find out that Alecto had boarded Pontius. Not that she was happy that this child had broken all ties to her family, but at least on Pontius there would be an opportunity for Hera to approach her. And so she did, as soon as the cruise had sailed far from Olympe, both of their homes left behind. During a walk around Helicon, Hera saw her and took the chance to start a conversation.

“You’re Alecto, right? I heard of what happened last night. If I am not intruding, I just wanted to say that I know how... Complicated it can be, this self-exile situation. I hope you find Pontius to be a good shelter.” Her intentions with this polite chat weren’t manichean. She felt some empathy for Alecto’s circumstances, and it felt right to keep an eye on someone who qualified as a child of Nyx the day before. It was an act of caring for the Queen of Night, even after so long, and it was also a strategic decision to keep someone like Alecto close. She certainly knew a lot about Tartarus and would now be a part of Pontius, so Hera had a lot to gain.

Hi there!

Parts of Kalafina’s 5th Anniversary Live were broadcast on TV/released on Blu-ray but never the whole thing.

They performed a total of 20 songs in Tokyo and Osaka (the setlist was the same for both lives). There is a 「Kalafina 5th Anniversary LIVE “oblivious”WOWOW Broadcast」which featured quite a big portion of the live (10 songs in total) as well as some interviews and behind the scenes footage.

And then there’s the bonus content of the First Press Limited Edition of Kalafina’s album The Best “Red”. The limited edition came with a blu-ray containing six songs from the 5th Anniversary Live. Unfortunately five of them were already featured in the WOWOW broadcast so there’s really only one “new” performance.

Unfortunately, “interlude 01″ never got a video release. The only audio live recording can be found on 「Kalafina 5th Anniversary LIVE SELECTION 2009-2012」and that is from their Kalafina LIVE 2009 “progressive” at Yokohama Blitz on Dec 27, 2009.

I am sorry that I couldn’t be of more help to you. (｡•́︿•̀｡)

When: January, 2130 - after the end of Heteraidia.

Where: Kalavria, Pontius

She finds Hephaestus inside a private room in Kalavria, soon after they leave Olympe. Zeus must have told him before they boarded Pontius again. A wave of guilt takes over her at the sigh of her friend. Just a couple weeks ago, she was thinking of her regret for not standing up for him. She swore to herself that she wouldn’t allow Hephaestus to be hurt by Zeus again. And yet, here they are. 

The worse part is that she didn’t even try to fight her husband’s plan. It took a moment to process the information, but she knew that Zeus had a point. Nobody would doubt their “affair”, and nobody would speak of anything else for a while. She has no confirmation that Heph actually agreed to take part, but that isn’t really a question, is it? His loyalty to the Rhea kings would make Hephaestus gladly set himself on fire to keep them warm. Hera wishes she couldn’t relate.

“I’m assuming he screwed you too.” The double meaning comes with a sad half smile. Soon, the world will be accusing Galani of sleeping with her husband, but all Zeus has done is volunteer Hephaestus (along with himself) to the wolves. She reminds herself that they are doing this for the family, to keep the kids safe. She hates it all the same. “At least now you know why I left.”

Awww, thank you for your lovely message.Yes, I think I sometimes put too much effort into my posts. It often takes me hours to post XD And really, except for a couple of notes, my posts go pretty much unnoticed these days (｡•́︿•̀｡)But oh well, that’s just part of who I am, I can’t help it. I just always take these things way too seriously. I want my answers to be as helpful and wholesome as possible. I really don’t like half-assed replies XD

I feel bad though for not having a better answer for you. I wish I could have provided a video of an “interlude 01″ performance for you.

Keiko all the way! I am a die-hard Keiko fan myself! However, I think both songs feature a lot of Keiko so I am not even sure preferring one or the other has anything to do with bias.
