It had been three years since Ronin had thrown away his identity in order to preserve those he cared for. He’d been careful to keep who he really was a secret, making sure no one knew who he really was, using a pseudonym and taking advantage of his quick growth to lie about his age. It worked for the most part, and yet there were some who still eyed him suspiciously, perhaps those who might have known him in the past… but for all they knew, Oberon was dead — killed like so many others.
Even now that he was staying within the Resistance camp, he did what he could to remain aloof, doing what he could to help, but trusting very few, as he was sure some of them were still manipulated by Chaos, despite their bright auras.
Sailor Ronin, as he went by now, could sense something was going on in the clearing up ahead. He’d patrolled the forests around the city many times, making sure to venture near and far from the main Resistance camp lest he be followed. Sometimes he didn’t even return at night, instead finding a cave or abandoned crypt to take up shelter. Tonight he was heading back to the cemetery when a clash of auras caught his attention.
A knight and corrupted senshi?

Lyonesse had spent far too much time in the presence of far too powerful Chaotic auras lately. Though the one behind him was only that of an Eternal, he knew for a fact that she had a second form - he'd seen Princess Persephone rise before his own eyes, back when he'd still been a General. At the time, he'd been thrilled for a friend. Now, he really, really wished it hadn't happened, because he was tired and coughing and if she caught up to him, her magic would make all of this suck even worse.
And then he tripped over a root, and went tumbling down into a clearing.
He could feel another Eternal aura, but he didn't have a lot of hope in the Senshi ********," he whispered.Persephone normally wasn't one for anything even vaguely resembling woods - her outfit wasn't built for it, her hair tangled in bushes - but tonight, she was on the tail of someone whose death was very, very personal to her.
"Come on, Natron, stop running! Maybe if you ask me very, very nicely, I'll take you back instead of taking your head!" She growled, and then she found the clearing, and her prey on the ground, and she smiled.
"Oh, this is wonderful," she said, and then she breathed, and focused, and her form changed. The Eternal became a Princess - wild and Chaotic, with great black bat wings stretching behind her.

As much as Ronin would prefer not to interfere, he couldn’t just leave someone to their death. Of course, he wasn’t much of a fighter — he was more of a tactical kind of guy, an engineer, someone who used brains over brawn, who picked their battles carefully and knew the extent of their abilities.
This…? He was certain he couldn’t beat a Princess on his own, but distract her enough to escape?
Ronin lept to the trees, knowing his aura was not going to go unnoticed for long, if it hadn’t already been felt, but anything to help get this knight out of trouble was good enough. His face and outfit was covered by a hooded cloak, in an attempt to hide what remained of his old identity.
“Hey!” he shouted, trying to get her attention and chucking a pinecone at the woman. “Why don’t you crawl back in the hole you came from??” And if that didn’t give the knight enough time to get his a** off the ground, Ronin didn’t know what would.

Lyonesse was very, very glad that whoever was yelling had apparently distracted Persephone, because it gave him a chance to roll away and get back to his feet. He ran to where the voice had apparently come from, and stopped when he saw the figure in the hooded cloak.
"I have no idea who you are, but thank you very, very much," he said. "She's crazy and we should get running."----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Persephone spun, and snarled like an angry wiled animal. "How dare you?" She snapped, and her eyes flicked to Lyonesse as he got back up. "I'll kill both of you," she said and she stalked forward For a moment she considered using her Princess power, but it wouldn't be worth the expended energy - so instead she let go of her full form and returned to her Eternal.
"I'll have both of your starseeds and I'll put them on display!"
Persephone would deny it, but she had definitely cracked a little bit.
