The Death of Saints, the Death of Cloths
Even for Saints who are beyond many things compared to common individuals, there is still one problem they can't avoid, and that is death. And that, too, is inevitable for the miraculous protection that the Saints wear, the Cloths.
Even if their
physical ability
are far beyond common people, as long as Saints are flesh and
blood, death
will eventually visit upon them.
But for the Cloth,
even
if its owner has past away, they may not necessarily die. For
the Cloths
who has lost its owner, they are kept in the Pandora Box[Cloth
Box] and sealed until the next
owner appears.
At this time, little
damages
can be healed by itself over the ages. And, the healing
process can push
the Cloth to evolve by itself. There are times when the
physical form of
the Cloth can change as a result. In other words, the Cloth
will grow depending
on how many times it rests after repeating battles. But this,
to the core,
is dependent on the Saint's life span. There are cases where
the Saint
retired from active duty.
When death is visited
upon
Saints, many of them died inevitably at the end of an intense
battle. That
Cloth can't really come out of the battle unharmed if the
damage recieved
leads to the death of a Saint.
In those cases, where
fatal
damages are received and overtakes the Cloth's own healing
ability, the
Cloth loses its life force and before long, death is visited
upon it.
The Place where many Cloths Sleep
In Jamir's Cloth
Cemetery,
it has an extraordinary number of damaged Cloths which went
there to be restored,
thereupon, can we reason then that Jamir could have been the
battleground
for the previous Holy War?
With the tower of the
Specters
watched by Dohko seeming to be near there around Asia, it
could be further
evidence of that supposition.
To prepare for the
coming
Holy Wars, restoring the owner-less Cloths that were left in
the battleground
of the previous Holy War, is that the order Aries Gold Saint
received from
his Master, the Pope Sion?
Possible Images of Past Lost Cloths
As we can see in the inner regions of Jamir, "Cloth Cemetery", and in Sanctuary's Cemetery, many Cloths were lost in the past Holy Wars, again and again. The Graude Foundation has worked night and day investigating those lost Cloths and has a hand in trying to restore them.
In the investigation of past years, it is known that there are people among Saints who exist to support the battle of the Saints. For example, this Sculptor's Tool Bronze Cloth[Scalptorium, Caelum] and the Sculptor's Studio Cloth[L'atelier du Sculptuer, Sculptor] are conjectured to be used for restoration of Cloths.
Based on the few left over legends, this Cup Silver Cloth[Crater, Crateris] is said to have the power to heal wounded Saints.
The Altar Silver Cloth[Ara] has accompanied the Pope in secret. This Cloth is thought of being for the Pope's Double, or decoy.[Kyoukou no Kage Musha] Here after, to fully understand this Cloth, it is left up to further investigation.
