She wakes up too and asks them who they are. p14 : They reply they are Athena's Saints. She implores them to save Orphee. She relates her story : <15-1> "On Earth, Orphee and I, we loved each other very much" <15-2> Eurydice : "Orphee .. Please do never go away from me." "I always want to hear your lyre." <15-3> Orphee : "Eurydice, I'll always be nearby you" "And I'll keep on playing lyre for you" <15-4> Orphee : "Even if you happen to die, I'll still do it... forever" <15-5> Eurydice : "Orphee ..." p16 : <1> But a cruel fate separated the 2 beings. Eurydice had her leg bitten by a venomous snake and died. <2> Orphee decided to go to the Hades World. <3> He applied to King Hades for .. .. Eurydice's soul to be sent back again on Earth even if his own body would be destroyed. <4> Then the sad and beautiful melody of lyre that Orphee plays lonely, moved also King Hades' heart. <17-1> Hades : "Orphee, I'll give Eurydice back to you in order to escape from the beauty of your lyre. "However ... you mustn't look behind you even once until you leave to Earth." <17-2> "In case you turn over even once, your wish won't be realized twice ..." "is it good ?" <17-3> Orphee : "Yes .. I will never forget this act of generosity ..." "(I was ready) to exchange my own life .." <17-4> Eurydice : "Orphee !" Orphee : "Eurydice, go on. Let's go back." p18 : Unfortunately, Pandora decided that a person who is able to charm even Hades, may be useful.

"Eurydice !!" p20 : And this is how Eurydice was turned half into stone ! Orphee stayed here and kept on playing lyre for her. Eurydice asks Seiya and Shun to take Orphee with them to Earth. This would console her. Seiya and Shun wonders which thing, Orphee confused with surface's light. p22 : Then Orphee comes back with flowers for Eurydice. He asks them why they didn't run away and if they want to kill Hades with their capacity. He advises them to leave if life is precious for them. Seiya, furious, reveals him that Athena is heading, alone, to Hades' place. But she's coming as naked, she will be killed. That's why they must give her cloth back !! (please, don't read this sentence first. see manga 22 for more informations ^_^;) Orphee reacts a little. Seiya carries on his explanations : if Athena dies, it won't remain someone, on Earth, being able to kill Hades. So Earth will become like the Hell !! Orphee thinks this is not necessary. It may change to utopia. He also reminds them there is a debt between him and Hades. p24 : Shun tells him about his beloved Eurydice's feelings. Seiya tells Shun it's useless to try to convince a traitor : <3> Seiya : "This man is not a Saint anymore. He sold his soul to Hades" "There is no time for taking care of a such guy .. let's go" Suddenly a light shines in the dark sky. This light is like sun's ! Orphee recognizes it. Then Athena's cloth jumps away to this light. Someone catches it. p26 : This is Pharao. Seiya and Shun run in order to take back Athena's Cloth. Pharao warns them they aren't up to fight him. He looks at Orphee and asks him why he didn't kill the 2 Bronze Saints. Orphee asks Pharao if he is responsible of the light he and Eurydice saw when they tried to leave Hades World. <27-3> Pharao : What will you do if it is so ? <27-4> Orphee : Here will become your grave place. p28 : Pharao doesn't really trust in Orphee's words. Yet, Orphee plucks some strings and Pharao loses the control of his hand. Athena's Cloth falls and Seiya picks it up. Now Orphee is fully playing lyre. p30 : Pharao takes his harp. The musical fight can begin. One string of Orphee's lyre breaks. Saints and Eurydice worries for Orphee who can't protect himself anymore. p32 : Orphee kneels down. Pharao comes closer, still playing music. He explains Orphee's offensive music level is above from G string. That's why he broke this G string ! Now he will hit Orphee with Pharao's curse. p34 : Pharao plays again the strange music : Balance of Curse. Seiya and Shun are also in pain. Pharao asks Orphee's heart to leave his body and to go on the sacred balance. Suddenly a light appears on Pharao's Sapuri. p36 : It's Pharao's heart that leaves his body and that go on the sacred balance. And can you imagine it ? his heart is heavier than feather ! ( What a naughty Pharao we have here !! - Carene) When Orphee asks him if he will disappear, Pharao panics !! p38 : A mirror falls near Orphee's feet. Pharao notices it was an illusion. Orphee breaks the mirror. He asks Pharao if it is with this mirror that Pandora made the Sun light illusion. Pharao tells him not to ask for apologizes. Orphee replies : "No .. At the contrary, I thank you" "A flower that faded once can't open twice .." "Humans, birds or insects .. even shining stars, are things which have only 1 life ..." p40 : Orphee understands he was wrong when he hoped to be able to bring back to life dead beings. Saints and Eurydice are very happy. Pharao asks him what he will do since he understands his mistake. Orphee replies he will fight Hades as Athena's Saint !

Unfortunately (for him) every strings of his harp break at the same time. p42 : Orphee resolved his problem by holding with his teeth the broken string !

Radamanthys takes advantage of this for hitting Orphee and holding him between himself and Saints. He orders Orphee to wake up Pandora, Minos and Aiacos. p74 : But Orphee uses his strings and ties Radamanthys and him up. He asks Seiya to kill Radamanthys.
