Welcome to Gaia! ::

So far, being a supposed 'royal' senshi sucked. His first attempt at being a prince had been at the battle of the Great Youma. And looking how well that turned out, Castor was not hopeful in the slightest. Senshi acting no better then their negaversian counterparts. The Blood Moon Court had half of the name right. Blood was on their hands; the blood of both the negaverse, and of their fallen coated their name now. Senshi uninvolved in the torture of the corrupted humans were now targeted for crimes they had nothing to do with, crimes they might not even be aware of, let alone condone. The senshi had been seeking the light of Serenity, and yet at each turn, the light would flicker and tauntingly move further out of reach.

He'd always hoped the heir to the Lunar Kingdom would return, but things were not so easy. He could not wait anymore. Lina was seeking to show the darkness the light, Pollux was seeking his own light, Castor's past 'students' were growing into more powerful allies, and fresh faces glowed, unknowingly stepping into a world bathed and written in blood and flames.
He'd lacked power to change the world before. He'd lacked the desire, the need. But now, after that night, he had found his reason for fighting. He knew his purpose. And in his purpose, he was going to change the world.

The power he'd gained was proving to be..fickle however. The Castorian Crystal was his tool, and in the past, it granted him the forces akin to a God. To summon a fury of cold sharp death down onto his enemies in one fierce battle cry. Now? He was lucky enough to be able to summon it. The cats warned him of attempting to draw the crystal out in the city, so he'd taken to his home world, but even there, it would occasionally taunt him but not heeding his call. The first time he attempted to use it proved...bad. The storm of death he'd summoned crushed a good portion of his target..before going apeshit and almost hitting the old royal gardens. He'd once known how to control the power, harness it. But that was over 2000 years ago. His memories showed him what he did..but not how to do it. He would have to re-learn.

So tonight, Castor was making his way towards the planned meeting place down by an old fountain in the park. She had owned her crystal longest and she knew him before he knew himself. Chronos, Princess of the Zodiacs, a girl he would call an ally at best, and friendly acquaintance at worst. She had her power and her own crystal, and with his struggles, she might be able to provide insight as to how to call upon and use his own. Worst case was that he was making a great social no-no as far as lunar court etiquette was concerned, (********, even with his memories he was sure he didn't even care about those in the past), at best, she would be able to teach him.

He'd lacked the power the change the world once.

This time, he was going to make sure he had all that power and more.

A sight for sore eyes was a good way to attribute how Castor saw the girl sitting at the park fountain. Smiling his picked up his pace until he was standing by her side, realizing that now- "I think this is the first time I've seen you alone before meeting up. Your guard putting a little more faith in you or did you sneak out from Virgo?" He crossed his arms in mock disapproval. "I'll have to tell her or she'll get mad at me. And if that happen you know what she'll do?" air good humor he continued, "she'll pull hurt puppy look. I'm weak to that attack. It's like a one hit K.O."

Chuckling, he sat down but not before giving Chronos a light hug. "But yeah, been pretty good. I have the love of my life back." Eyes closed as an image of her face floated in his mind's eye. "If feels good to be with her, it...it's good. Not everyday you find out the woman you love and vowed to be with 2000 years ago gets to return from the abyss." Taking in a deep breath he wanted to be serious, he wanted to be..princely. Or something like it. "But...anyways, crystals. Yeah." A shrug. "I got one now and it's...well it's kind of being a b***h. Is that normal? Bitchy crystals?" His expression was a tad comical, giving the fact he was trying to be serious but just looked utterly confused.

Seriously confused.

Castor gave her in the best wolfish smile he could offer. "Maybe I'm just not the type of threat you expect." It was quickly replaced by a deep laughter. "No, I think the worst threat I offer in me teasing about Virgo's sprinkle weakness paired with her passion for ice cream. She is sweet as is, the sugar in there is probably just what fuels her. You? Butterflies and sunshine Chronos...Except for those who get on your bad side, which from the looks of things, I'm not." A hand went up and ruffled his already slightly messy hair. He'd enjoyed Chronos's company, she was reminiscent of those women in very proper young lady iconography. Quite, polite, yet charming and giving off and air that was just welcoming.

Still, pleasantries could wait, as much as he wanted to gush about finding his love, he'd come for a reason, they both had. It was time to get down to business. Castor took a deep breath, face settling into a calm contemplative look. He had to take a note from his brother. There was a time for humor and laughter, but this wasn't one of those times. This was serious, this was about that which defined them, and that which could be both their greatest asset..if they could master it.

It being their finicky crystals.

"So, they really are kind of little bitches then." He chuckled, so much for total seriousness. "I tried to use mine on Castor. The end result well-" He'd ruined a great deal of land, and taken out from old buildings. Not to mentiona few other things. "Hail isn't really a force you want to ******** with." Not after his last attempt. "But..it's weird. When I was on Castor you know...I could remember using it, I could see what it could do in my head but- I can't do that. I don't remember how."

It was oddly painful. This was his crystal and...he felt disconnected from it somehow. "I want to be able to do those things again. I just...don't know how."

Castor sighed and nodded. Destructive hardly covered half of what his crystal could do. It was pretty much to him a giant wad of massive rape. The world was like a zombie nurse and his crystal was the pyramid head. Rape was going happen and it was not going to be pleasant. An eye twitch at his mental comparison Castor gave a nod. "Yeah, I go everyday. I've been working on trying to rebuild. Like, make some parts livable again. Most of the hold homes and barracks have been destroyed with time, and the beetles, the ******** beetles-" he made a loud frustrated noise. "Buggers are violent as s**t as hard as hell to kill. To think my people deal with them..just...crazy s**t. Going back and knowing...You had a whole planet, a civilization a world that depended on you and now-"

Now it was gone. Lost to time and the darkness. "Most of what I have is like..clips. Slide shows. Some things..trigger it. A painting, a room...a place." Their garden. He'd never forget that memory. It was his reminder why he needed to do this. "When I brought it out to use, I dreamed of the past. Well not dreamed but you know. It was weird. I know what it can do. I-" Huffing his arms crossed. "Yeah, That's basically the thing, we can't exactly practice here...and when I used I almost passed out the first time."

"...Hey Chronos." He had an idea. But then again, he had an idea once about drinking spice packets from the taco cart. Hopefully this was a better idea. "Castor is pretty much nothing but free range for miles outside the city ruins. It's where I tried using my crystal the first time. Think maybe we can practice there?" It was a thought, but, was it a feasible one?

Castor chuckled. "I guess that is one thing maybe you can teach me, how to be patient." He wanted results. He wanted changes and action. He wanted to just be able to do things. Waiting was not his thing. Or rather, a good majority of the time he couldn't wait for things to just happen. "I want to remember Chronos. I feel like we just- We lost so much and I don't know how we're going to get it back anymore."

He sighed, scratching the back of his contemplating the options. "Once a week ought to do it, After all, I...well more then that and I think we'd just end up passed out half the time." He chuckled, picturing them both just stuck on Castor to tired to be damned enough to even teleport home. "I mean, getting there is fine and easy, but after..who can say. If we feel good maybe more, if not we rest up." He was liking this plan. Use the crystals, get back something, reclaiming that small fraction of the past.

"I'm free just about any day, so all you'd need to do is give me a call the day before? We meet up, pop on over, practice, then zip on back and rest? We could rest on Castor but...I haven't fixed everything up to really host anyone yet." He blushed. He was still working on his project to rebuild. "But you think we can do this? And- and you might be able to tell me about like...how to be a prince and stuff." That was a bit of a kicker. He was still very ignorant if he had some rules he needed to follow. Were there manners and guidelines to his duties?

He pouted and Flora had she might have been there, would have known it as a very Marlo-esque look. Castor, arms crossed and pouting. "History sucks balls sometimes." He huffed an let his arms fall to his sides helplessly. "But you're right, just got to deal with it. And you can help if you want to spend the day doing mostly hard labor." He chuckled at the idea of her going about and carrying huge bricks and just...

It seemed like she's just end up like some tiny powerhouse. A sniffle and Castor smiled. The night air was getting to him. "'s a bit hard, but- hey, gotta just keep at it. And please." Her hand was taken in his and given a light squeeze. "I'd like to hear about him." He knew of Eon and as for Endymion he didn't care so much. "I'm also you're friend Chronos. Don't you forget that." Letting her hand go, he looked out at the city. "Once a week. You got my number right?"

"GOOD." He smiled, at the idea that Chronos was open and willing to hang out with him. "Once a week. You don't call me and I'm tell ya, I'll come stomping around looking for you, causing a scene. Probably give Flora and Virgo heart attacks." He chuckled at the mental image of them both cheeks puffed out with the 'I'm mad but not that mad but look I am still mad' faces.

A kiss to her hand and a bow, and the Senshi of Hail nodded. "See you this week Chronos." It was time to part ways, less they start to attract the less than reputable denizens of Destiny City. "We will do this!" His smile was set, and his path was now open. His goal was set. Attempts to control his crystal now in sight, Castor was determined to do what he had been born to do.

Protect and Serve.
