Koeia sat atop a tall tree in one of the human's parks the diamonds imbedded in her body glowing faintly in the darkness of the tree's branches. She had been watching the human for a while now as they passed beneath her. It was all still so hard for to take in that their was other life out their and that they lived such ordinary and unassuming lives. The star of this planet had ceased its daylight and had allowed it's beautiful moon and the stars to show themselves against the black curtain of light. Although she had to admit the stars were not as visible as she'd prefer, she believed this was due to the human's artificial lights.
Once darkness had fallen the humans seemed to leave the area, she supposed that meant their species was not suited to activity in darkness. It was not an especially uncommon trait in the universe, darkness brought with it the danger of the unknown. However she was used to the darkness by now, she had spent eons alone in the darkness of her ruined world. The thought of her quiet world was enough to put the old soldier in a melancholic haze.
That haze was ended however when she suddenly felt a warm aura nearing her location. It was the radiant aura of a senshi. The giant woman leaned back on her tree branch allowing herself to fall backwards using her legs' grip on the branch to control her fall as she flipped in the air before landing gracefully on her feet to meet the senshi in question. Her eyes widened in surprise as she took in the furry eared and tailed senshi. "Selinur? Sailoir Selinur of Glaze Ice? That is you correct? You still live?! That is wonderful news!" She exclaimed.

He had been doing as he usually did, wandering alone at night, no matter how long he was here he doubted he would ever honestly like looking so...human. It was normal for the people here, he knew that, and yet it was not normal for him. He still didn't like that he couldn't hear or see so well ,or smell, he'd lived off of his senses and now - dulled. It was still a shock at times when he missed something which would have been so obvious in the past.
Tonight however was different as he wandered the park he felt something - an aura. It was warm and comforting...a senshi. What he didn't expect was for them to drop from a tree and to find them familiar.
"Koeia." He knew her, better than most in the cosmos, and he was surprised to see her. "You felt the call then as well...and the energy." He said, already knowing the answer. There wasno other way she was here. It also meant that her world was like his - ruined. "You're world also then..." He whispered and shook his head, ears drooping as he spoke. How many of them were here, in this city? How many ruined worlds did they need to bring back. "It is good to see a familiar face - a fellow solider." He was more of a hunter, given how his planet was, but the point was still the same. They had lived long and seen many things - done many things. At 5'6" he was dwarfed by the amazone of a women and yet he didn't care, why would he? This was someone like himself.
"Cosmos must have plans...for several of us to be here and all the senshi and knights reborn here." A miracle of a planet and Cosmos had to have allowed it, somehow, there was a reason for this he was sure. "You have been safe since arriving here - you have a home?" He asked, thinking about what her situation might be and hoping it was good. He would, if need be, figure something out - somehow. He might not be the most friendly of people but she was a fellow senshi of age - an elder like himself.

She offered a sad smile to her fellow senshi as she shook her head. "It's gone, turned to kingdom of ash and darkness." She informed the other sadly. "I thought everyone else was gone, I couldn't reach any of you, I couldn't leave. Until I felt that call. This..this...I'm still trying to process all of this." She said gesturing to around herself at the Earth at a loss for words.
"The lady of the Stars has always been an enigma but I can't begin to understand her or the Cauldron's purpose for sending so many starseeds to this world. Perhaps it has to do with the Chaos that threatens this world." She mused, or perhaps it was all a grand coincidence worthy of the Senshi of Comedy or worse yet perhaps this was the last battlefield the only world still standing. She did not voice that dark thought however.
She looked upon her fellow Soldier, both of them long in the years and experienced in the ways the universe. Normally she would not voice her struggles to another person but for an old soul like herself she could open herself up at least a little. "No I'm afraid I've had some trouble on that account, I'm not used to this. It used to be that I'd be given lodging as a diplomat when I visited a foreign world. But this hiding and blending in with the human's it is all very hard to grasp." She admitted.

"I'm not sure if that's better wor worse than my planets fate. Barren and deserted...plants don't grow, trees have no green to them. No animals live." Empty homes and hotels and more. It was as horrid and it hurt him, deeply, to think about the state of his planet. "It seems we are not all gone - some of us felt the call. An alien, a merchant, who visits here confirmed that he felt it also. He however did not need it to get here as we did." He spoke, deciding that for now it might be a good idea to share what little he did know. "I ran into another of our sort as well..." But there wasn't much to say abotu that, obviously.
"I think she enjoys being an enigma, even to us as old as we are." Shaking his head as he spoke. It was terribly annoying, at least right now it was. "Perhaps that is why...to balance out the chaos here." Or to remove some of it, maybe all of it. "We cannot allow this planet to fall like ours did...and the senshi and knights here are ill equipped to do so. They lack the organization needed...chaos has apparently taken over everywhere but this single city. This city is a strong hold of sorts - where the fight is still being fought and it is what has held for so long, by some miracle. So many knights and senshi are here - enough to hold out. Perhaps we are the backup they need." If that was the case he was prepared to fight, and he knew the female at his side was as well.
"Whatever the case may be - we cannot let this city fall. I fear if we do the planet will fall as well...and so many senshi and knights will die and with no where for their seeds to be reborn..." Because the cosmos was now filled with dead and dying planets - like theirs. There would be no safe place for rebirth...no way for them to regroup and launch an attack to reclaim things. Was this the last stand? Where they here for that? The thought was terrifying yet thrilling in a way, an end to it all once and for all.
"I landed in front of a senshi who has taken me in. Perhaps we can find someone who can assist you in finding a place to stay, and help you in getting better adjusted to this planet. I'm sure we can find someone who will host you...though I doubt it will be like it was in the past." Though he had never traveled to other planets much less stayed on other planets. His home played host to everyone else.

"A dead world is a dead world my old friend, we need not compare the scars of our hearts. It only matters that they continue to beat with purpose." She advised the younger senshi, although her heart broke to hear that his world was also in such a desolate state. "Another ancient one, who were they?" She wondered if she knew that one from her past meanderings.
"To right a terrible imbalance, are you aware the chaos here has the ability to destroy starseed?" She still shuddered at the thought, death was terrible but it was a natural part of the universe all starseeds must eventually make their journey back to the cauldron to be renewed and reborn. But if this chaos could break that sacred cycle. "We must stop this evil, we must lend our strength and knowledge to the newly born senshi and knights of this planet. I do not know about yourself but my powers have waned since I was young but I shall give everything I have left to this fight I shall not see this land to fall too, not as long as I can still take breath." She said as much to the man as to herself.
"Truly? That would indeed be helpful my friend. I had landed in front of a Guardian by providence, he filled me in and helped me as much as he could but having a more permeant domicile would be of great help.

"Yes, dead is dead...but it will decide how we go about reviviing them. I know you look to do the same as I do. We held on for as long as we did, our plants did as well, and to not bring our planets back would be a dishonor to our worlds which continued to keep us alive." Until they could safely escape to here. Had it known somehting would happen or been waiting for something...holding it's breath and keeping them going till it saw a way for them to leave...then it would let out the breath and death would take hold. "Our hearts beat with the same purpose...the same rythem and one we will follow." He spoke, nodding his head in confirmation. They were working towards the same thing and they would do it together if need be. His people weren't social and did not work with others, or form alliances, but he was willing to break form in order to do what must be done.
He had been going to speak the name of the other ancient but he stopped, turning wide blue eyes to her. "To do that....they'll never make it to the Cauldron and to Lady Cosmos herself. They'll never be reborn..." Trailing off as the horror filled him at the idea of that. It was a great sin to mess with a starseed much less destroy one. They were what made a person...everything was contained in that...the body was just a vessel for the starseed. At least that was how his people viewed them.
"So then not the balance things out - to kill it. We must find this chaos, and not leave a trace of it to fester and regrow. We must destroy it entierly." He spoke cooly. That idea did not bother him in the slightest. He would do whatever was needed in order to help this planet - to save it.
"Mine have as well...but we will regrow our strength - we must. We have the knowledge and experience they do not. We must regain what we've lost in order to help lead this fight." Because they must do that. They could not let this city fall to chaos, if it did he shuddered to think what would happen.
Turning to face his fellow ancient he held out a hand slowly, a gesture his people did not often practice. They did not often offer their hands...it was a personal thing - too personal for them. But here he was offering his hand to her. "For now I believe some traditions and habits need be put aside, until a common enemy is dealt with. In light of what we face I suggest an alliance between us and our planets, to last as long as is needed for our planets to regain their past glory and for this planet to have it's freedom from chaos. I do not offer this lightly but considering what is at stake...I think this is appropriate.
"You're goals are mine and mine are yours. Until they are fulfilled I will endeavor to help you as I hope you will endeavor to help me in return. We have a common enemy and we cannot work alone, as we have seen, so we shall help each other become stronger and wiser in the ways of this planet." He would help her, as he'd said, with settling into this planet with a place to stay. He'd just need to find this knight, perhaps if he could find a mauvian he could have them contact the knight. For now the words, and oath of sorts, hung in the air waiting for a responce. He was offering more than his people had ever offered to anyone' but it was needed.

Koeia nodded solemnly "It is deeply troubling, an evil almost unimaginable." She agreed with the old soldier before her. The idea of destroying a starseed made her blood run cold. The Chaos of this world was an abomination. It was anathema to the very Universe itself.
She was not sure she could regain the strength she had millennia ago, she had been languishing for so long her power seeping from her bones, from her very soul. However this world did seem rich in power, perhaps if it were possible to regain her old power it would happen her on this radiant planet.
She was brought out of her thoughts by the offered hand of Selinur. She blinked, she knew such a gesture was very meaningful for his people. A personnel gesture that showed his trust and comraderies for her. She took the hand offering a gentle smile in return as the gems imbedded into her skin seemed to glow in appreciation.
"Thank you old friend, would that I had the words to express my appreciation." She said accepting his offer, they would aid one another on this strange world, she was glad she had at least one friend still in this vast and lonely universe.

"They are not needed, acceptance and action is most needed in these nights." They would have much to do in order to regain what they had lost, so they could be better allies to the senshi and knights here.
"Tell me, what have you been doing since you arrived here? Have you found any of the darkness which resides on this planet?" He wanted to know her opinion, if she had, on this darkness and how strong it's soliders were. He did not want to go blindly into this war if he didn't need to. He had information from Ida, a good amount, but any bit more he could learn was helpful.
