After a talk with Belldandy and her sisters Ranma, Hotaru, and Skuld left the temple. Urd had told them to stop by and talk to Cologne before heading back to the dojo.
---------------
When the three entered the Nekohanten the Elder dropped off of her walking stick in surprise. The surprise wasn't Ranma entering but the other two girls.
One of the girls was a goddess. Cologne had lived too long not to recognize the marks and the other had a potential that rivaled Ranma's.
"Greetings Cologne. I am Skuld, Goddess of the Future and this is Hotaru Tomoe. I believe you already know Ranma here." Skuld started the conversation.
"Yes I do Honored One."
"Please no formality. Skuld will be fine. I am trying to keep a low profile while I am on Midgard."
Cologne nodded in understanding.
"So what can this old woman do for you?" Cologne asked.
"Do you know of the Stars of Destiny?" Cologne nods. "They are being called together again." Cologne's eyes widen. "Ranma is the leader of the Stars." Cologne's jaw drops to the floor. "And according to my sensor you are also one. You are the Chiman Star." Cologne falls backwards in surprise.
"Are you all right Elder?" Skuld stops dropping the bombs of information to ask.
Cologne recovers and answers. "Yes I am Skuld. You just took me by surprise. Last time the stars were gathered was millenias ago. Several Amazons were Stars at the time but I am an old woman."
"That may be so Cologne but you have wisdom and experience to help us." Ranma speaks for the first time. "Even if you are not on the battlefield you can still help us as an advisor or a trainer."
Cologne's eyes take up 90 percent of her face. Ranma seeing that explains.
"Cologne, I respect you for your training me in the arts. Without you I would have died against Saffron. When you are not pushing me to marry your great granddaughter you are one of the wisest people around. You have helped me get through a lot of trouble by letting me talk and listening. Then you give me good advice and that is why I need your help."
Cologne nods. "Ranma, thank you. I have been on many quests and adventures but to be a Star of Destiny is quite unexpected. The only advice I can give is this: Seek out the others; because without them you will fail. I will also contact the Amazon Council and inform them."
The pigtailed man nods in agreement and bids farewell.
