Welcome to Gaia! ::

The bad parts of town are where Leto thrived as a Dark Mirror Senshi. It was where she could drain energy and take civilians for Ares' mirrors without even the most remote feeling of guilt. So she moved through the darkness, from rooftop to rooftop or mirror to mirror, draining a civilian here and there as she went (when her wraiths felt like co-operating).

When she felt the familiar pang of a White Moon Senshi, a grin split across her face and she moved in it's direction, running through the streets. When she finally managed to track the power signature, she slowed to a walk, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Well lookie what we have here..." Leto murmured as she eyed the familiar green-haired Senshi.

"Good," was all Leto said in return. It thrilled her to know that she left a permanent mark in Persephone's mind. That the pathetic White Moon Senshi would remember the feeling of her boot crashing into her ribs. That maybe, remembering would push Persephone to be a better, stronger Senshi- because then she would actually be useful to Leto.

Taking a few steps towards the other girl, Leto's hands clamped behind her back, a smile on her face. It was casual, and almost... Creepy. As if the humanity had been ripped from Leto and she was left empty and remorseless. An eyebrow quirked when she noted her wrapping her arms around herself, "I don't make a habit of killing White Moon Senshi. You may be useful to me one day."

She began to circle her, like a shark with it's prey, looking her up and down. "Don't you think this part of town is a little dangerous for someone like yourself?" Her head tilted, as if she was genuinely concerned.

"I'm the Senshi of Camouflage, not subtlety, idiot." It was pretty much the dumbest response ever, but deep down inside Leto was just a rebellious teenager and every once in a while it showed.

She finally stopped circling the green haired Senshi, her head still tilting to one side. Her brows raised and she laughed, a genuine hearty laugh.

"You can handle stuff? And things, too maybe? Seriously? I could have killed you the last time we met, and now all of a sudden you can handle s**t? Where'd the sudden confidence boost come from?"

Leto just sort of... Stared at Persephone. "I'm sorry, what?" She rubbed at her face in frustration before sighing and shaking her head.

"First of all, buttwings or no buttwings, I could kick your a**. In fact, I could do it without using any of my camoflage attacks because when I was a sad pathetic White Moon Senshi much like yourself, I had proper battle training. And what the ******** do you mean you don't like fighting? You do realize we're at war, right? Like, some General King could just ******** pop up here and take you out in one fell swoop."

She stepped forward and jabbed at Persephone's chest with her right index finger. "You better learn to like fighting because as long as you're a Senshi, you don't have a choice."

Out of everything that Leto said to the other girl, the one that that really stuck was that she was once a White Moon Senshi.

With a heavy sigh and a roll of her dark red eyes - which had once been a bright honey color - she nodded. "I was awakened as a White Moon Senshi almost um..." She made a face as she thought back to how long she had been a Senshi before continuing. "Three years ago."

Obviously this conversation wasn't going to lead to Leto kicking Persephone's a**, so she took a casual stance leaning against a wall. "Back then, not all White Moon Senshi were wussbags. Ares lead a group of us called the Blood Moon Court, and we were highly trained and skilled in combat. So don't think for even a second that I was a p***y as a White Mooner, because I wasn't." She glared at her before shrugging her shoulders dismissively.

"Don't get me wrong, becoming a Dark Mirror Senshi definitely helped me on my way. I would never in a million years be where I am without Ares. Without my team. And unfortunately for you, a group like that doesn't exist in the White Moon anymore so you're s**t outta luck my friend."

Leto couldn't help but laugh at her Game of Thrones reference- she could appreciate a girl with good taste. "Not all of us, no. Ares turned three of us at the time. I haven't seen the others in a while, to be honest. Ares may have killed 'em all for all I know," she shrugged non-chalantly, as if the death of her former teammates wouldn't phase her in the least.

"You just happened to awaken in a time in which one of the greatest warriors the White Moon ever knew has already switched sides. Hoping and praying won't get you very far in this war, darlin'. But us? The Dark Mirror Court? We would train you, and protect you, because we're a family."

She watched her for a moment, her eyes lidded as she studied her sudden change in demeanor. Pushing off of the wall, she took a few steps towards the Senshi of Pomegranates. There was doubt, and Leto would not miss an opportunity to take advantage of it. "There hasn't been a single day, hour, minute, second, that I have regretted my change. It has been two years since I found my way and if I could do it over again, I would make the same choice every single time. I wish you guys could see and understand that."

"I've seen some Order people do some really evil things," Leto threw back at Persephone awfully quickly. "In fact, as a White Mooner I did some really evil things. White Moon Senshi tortured and killed Negaverse Agents. Have you ever heard of a Chaos Senshi or Negaverse Agent doing that?" She may have left out the part that it was the Blood Moon Court that did such things.

She shook her head, long brown waves tipped in blonde bouncing over her shoulders. "Your faction doesn't make you good or evil, you make yourself that way. I've killed a lot of people, but I've done it on both sides of this war. Doing so was my choice, me becoming who I am now, that has nothing to do with it. The ******** Senshi of Kindness is a Dark Mirror Senshi, did you know that? I have a lot of really good, kind, amazing people on my team, and I couldn't in a million years imagine regretting that. And Ares? I would die for my Queen and I'm confident that she would do the same for me. We've never argued, no. I trust her and her decisions, I would have no reason to argue with her."

Her brows furrowed for a moment. "You don't have to regret not awakening with us. All it takes is Ares baptising you to make things right."
