back dated to March 31
Takes place directly after War and Peace Once Hyperborea opened her eyes she could see that they were in a place very different from Destiny City. The city looked like something out of a text book on Ancient Greece. However what Hyperborea found when She looked up at the sky was far stranger. The city seemed to be in the middle of three purple suns. From what she could see the walls surrounding the city were crumbling but the main gate appeared to be intact. Beyond that was a archway and then a destroyed bridge. They seemed to be standing on a hill lined with dead tree. However her marveling at the place was cut short by a strange voice.
"Welcome to the Acropolis of Hyperborea young travelers." The deep monotone voice made Hyperborea nearly jump out of her skin. There wasn't supposed to be anyone else here right, so why was someone already at her wonder.
She slowly turned around to see a giant man standing. He was wearing an iridescent chlamys and white kilt and a golden Greek style Helmet that concealed all of his face save his bright purple eyes and his long black braid that sat on his shoulder. He looked like he was eyeing her up which only made Hyperborea feel more intimidated by this towering man. "You must be my heir, little one." Noir Songbird Some reference pics ( 1 & 2 )

Space was always an incredible experience. Penthesilea had all but memorized Telnarquel, now, but new planets - that was something special. Vulcan had been incredible, and now here was Hyperborea, a city like hers - though without the walls in the distance.
She was used to planets being silent, except perhaps for wind or rain.
She was not expecting a voice, and it made the Eternal nearly jump out of her skin and swear, loudly and violently, in ha blend of Cajun French and English. How the hell was there still something there? It couldn't be a memory, she wouldn't have been able to hear it. So why was there a giant, ghostly figure standing in front of her, and why was he talking?

Noir Songbird Penthe is most mature adult
"Both of you calm yourselves. I shall not harm you. I am the last one who held the name of Hyperborea. I have waited many cycles for a new knight to be claimed. For the sake of avoiding confusion you may refer to me by my birth name, Theseus." The ghost seemed to roll his eyes at the reaction of the two visitors.
Hyperborea furrowed her brow. She had heard the name he gave them before. "Wait a second you're Theseus, like the legendary Greek hero Theseus?"
Hyperborea could swear the ghost was grinning under that helmet. "So my name lives on in legend does it, what a reassuring fact." He said smugly. Hyperborea was less afraid and more annoyed now, this guy had an ego cleary. "I, child, am your ancestor and you are my descendant and heir of the wonder of Hyperborea. I shall endeavor to teach you of your heritage, lost though it may be now."
Theseus turned his attention on the eternal senshi. "Forgive me child of Penthesilea, I cannot give you proper honors and welcome due to the state of the city. However you are still welcome here under the scared laws of Hospitum and Apollon's divine protection." He said kneeing down before the Eternal Senshi, though even knelling down he was still taller than either girl.
He now addressed both of them, "If you two will follow me I shall show you around."

Pentheselia wasn't entirely sure she bought the whole "I'm not gonna hurt you" thing, but it wasn't as if she could do anything about it even if he did mean her harm. He was huge, she was tiny, Penthe could do math.
"I ain't never sene nothin' like you before," Penthe said frankly, as if that excused her violently shocked reaction. She reached down to brush imaginary dirt off her skirts, as a gesture to calm herself down.
Alright, so he was pretty polite to her, that was fine, she could respond to politeness with politeness. She bowed, because curtsying with her tiny-a** skirts was an exercise in comedy. "I apologize for my rudeness," she said, "but th'last ghosty thing IU saw was tryin'a eat me. An' doin' a good job at it."

The ghostly giant eyed the pair before turning around moving through a large gate building. "Indeed I should expect that you have not seen any of my kind. We all passed through the veil long ago. That child is all that remains of our blood. As for your concerns were I even able to devour you, which I do not believe I am, you are protected as a visitor by the gods so I would do you no harm.Now please follow me." Theseus said.
Hyperborea cautiously followed the ghost into the courtyard. "So do you think it's safe to follow this guy." She whispered to Pentheselia. She saw that the courtyard had dead trees and large building, however the two things that really caught her attention were a large bronze statue of a giant stone man holding up what looked like a golden javelin and a building the size of a football field that had a giant hole in it's roof.
"This is the courtyard of the Acropolis. That statue was used as a signal to alert traveler that they were on the right path towards the cauldron. Those trees were once the pride of Hyperborea, travelers would come from far to see their rainbow colored cherry blossoms bloom sadly as you can see they have since died and no longer bloom. That house there was our ancestral home." He said pointing to a large building that had a star, stag, and rose carved above the doorway. He continued his tour leading them up to the largest building. "And this was the temple and home of the current knight of Hyperborea as well as the entrance to it's labyrinth."

Penthe narrowed her eyes. At least he was promising, so far, not to hurt her - but that didn't mean she was completely off guard.
"Safe for now," she said. "Ain't shown no sgn'a wantin' t'hurt us so far, an' ifyou really are th'last'a his line or whatever..." She knew so little about how Knights even worked, and it felt like a huge hole in her capabilities as a Senshi, or atleast in her capabilities as a mentor for Hyperborea. She shrugged her shoulders and strode forward, her body posture shifting so she was every inch the confident warrior a delegate from Penthesilea to Hyperborea ought to be.
"This place is lovely - even after what's happened," she said, trying to bring in a compliment. "Telnarquel didn't look nearly this fine." And if she thought too hard about why, things became emotionally unpleasant.
The temple piqued her curiosity, thoroughly. "What kinda gods did y'all worship, then?"
