Chaos could take many forms. The page of Cosmos now knew that to be true. But perhaps he wasn't quite prepared for all its variety. Erytheia walked in the open air of night like a sleepwalker. At times, he didn't know what he was looking for anymore. He knew what a Chaos signature felt like now. Was he just to wait until one reached his senses? He waited and waited until he did indeed sense one, but not how he would have liked to. When Erytheia finally did feel it, he was standing in the middle of an open square. Vulnerable. And the Chaos energy he felt was unlike any he had encountered before. He did not know what to make of it. It almost felt... ... not quite as dark. ✪

Remarque had seen the form of many soldiers for Order—Knights, Senshi, Cats. Things that weren't any of those but had no place to call their own.
A page was interesting enough, and Remarque had found him easily.
Though not particularly thrilled with heights, travelling from rooftop to rooftop was the most discreet way to get from one place to another when you couldn’t rely on a mirror, though in the process of traveling to his destination he'd paused when he eyed the very white knight.
For a moment, the Eternal Senshi thought he might just carry on his way—and then he took one step over the rooftop and landed a few yards away from the man.
He stood, brushing himself off.
"You look a little uncomfortable," he said, as if striking up a conversation with an old friend. "Monsters chasing you?"

Monsters chasing you?The tone was almost colloquial. He really had been feeling like monsters could be around every turn as of late. "No," the page said with a pause of caution. "Not yet anyway."Could this be one of those monsters? ✪

Remarque seemed to like that answer, and another smile sprouted upon his lips. "Well then, let us hope that when they do, you are prepared. I am Remarque, Dark Mirror Senshi of Puppetry. And you, Page, stick out like a sore thumb. Your colors are a little too bright. I'm surprised no one's bothered you yet tonight."
He didn't seem unfriendly, still, and was taking caution to keep his distance. He probably could have crushed the Page if he'd really felt up to it, but he wasn't making any effort to come across aggressive. He knew how powerful he felt to someone who was only first stage; he wasn't going to chase them away if he could help it.
Not when there were so many things they could be discussing, instead.

The page had never heard of the Dark Mirror but in passing. It was usually casually mentioned in the list of Chaos factions. But as to who or what it was, Erytheia didn't know. Luckily, it seemed the man wanted to talk. This was good. Erytheia didn't want a fight regardless of who. Nevertheless, it did not bode well that this was the strongest Chaos signature he had ever felt. "I seem to attract more people that think I need help than those who want to bother me," he said wistfully as he thought over his few past experiences. "Perhaps, it is because I don't have any magic."His own signature must be awfully low compared to the others. ✪

"You're better off without it," Remarque shrugged. "It's unreliable and limited. If you want to get stronger, you should improve yourself. Work out, pick up a fighting style, train yourself. Everyone's got their own taste for fighting style, but you'd have to find whatever works for you. Personally, I don't ever use magic."
He planted his hands on his hips and leaned back. He couldn’t really remember the last time he'd had to use his magic, but then, most of the time he was talking, anyway.
"So, I have to ask. You got roped into all of this, right? What were you doing when you had all this Knight business thrust upon you? ...Did you want it?"

"Well, at first, I didn't want it. I didn't even completely understand it." Erytheia thought about all he had learned so far. "I still don't understand it all."The page with no magic looked up at the sky. "But I don't think it matters if you want it or not. Maybe in your mind, you don't. Yet your starseed is telling you something else entirely."✪

Remarque continued to watch the Page before he finally nodded. "I suppose."
He had never been a fan of 'Destiny' and 'Fate'; he'd always thought that it was more along the lines of 'you have the tools, use them how you want'. If he hadn't wanted to be a Dark Mirror Senshi, he wouldn’t have been.
But it was a damn good opportunity and he just wasn't the sort to waste that power.
"You're new, though," he offered. "You'll have time for things to make sense. Have you visited your wonder yet?"

Remarque seemed like an honest enough man and Erytheia was enjoying the company. "I haven't been to my wonder yet." He sighed as he looked up to the sky. "To be honest, I have kind of been afraid to try."✪

"Afraid?" Remarque prompted. "Why would you be afraid?"
In truth, he knew. He could think of a dozen good reasons to be afraid to try, but it didn't stop him from asking, anyway. "It is your Wonder, a piece of you. The source of your power. What is there to be afraid of? You have something out there—a claim, to your name, that only you can access. A little piece of the universe that exists for you. I always thought they were safe, to their protector. Have you any reason to fear it, or do you simply fear the unknown?"

A piece of you.Erytheia had never heard it explained quite like this before. Could that be why he still felt so insecure about his duty as a knight that he had yet to go to his wonder and connect that piece back to himself? "I guess I have been afraid of the unknown." He knew this could easily be too big for him with all of its vast unknowns. "What if this is something I can't handle?"✪

Remarque was not typically in the position of giving advice to a Knight, but it wasn't an opportunity he was going to pass up.
The Dark Mirror Court were no longer allied with the Negaverse, and they couldn’t afford to be enemies with both them. If the time came, if he needed to pick a side, he knew who he would rather have guarding his back.
"You're thinking too much of it, then," Remarque said. "You would not be standing here, in front of me, like this if you weren’t capable of handling it. Don't think of it as something to fear—think of it as something to explore. Something to learn, and tame, and experience. It's a part of you, not something you can tune out or ignore."
He looked up to the stars. "Somewhere, out there, is a place meant for me. And I can't get to it. But I want to know what's up there. I want to know everything about where my power comes from. About who this universe wants me to be, and about who I apparently used to be."
He seemed to mull this over for a moment and then shrugged, looking down from the sky. "You shouldn't be afraid of your Wonder. Think of it as a second home."

All of a sudden Erytheia felt childish. Foolish. Ashamed. All at once. What had he been thinking? His wonder was his own and would accept him. Of course, it would be new, different, even hard to fathom. But it was his and his alone. Why was he so scared? "I'm sorry you can't get to your planet." The page looked at the ground in embarrassment. "You must think I am really selfish to have my own wonder and be so short-sighted not to have even visited it?"✪

Remarque cocked his head to the side inquisitively. "Selfish? No," he assured. "Far from it. Rational, perhaps. It's normal to have doubts. So far as I know, the Knights are still lacking in proper guidance. I can't blame you for being wary of things of that nature. I do hope you'll visit it sometime. I'd like to hear about it."
He shrugged. "I want to know all about these worlds out there. Not being able to reach mine means I rely on others to describe theirs to me. And trips, from those that offer. There's a great many worlds out there. If I can't reach my own, I'd like to see what there is. And maybe find a way there."
Maybe.
"I haven't any idea what's stopping me, though. From getting from Earth to my world. But I think it would be good to know where you come from, in that sense. And after you go, you should tell me all about it."

Erytheia was starting to feel much better now. It helped to talk these things out. Even if it was to a complete stranger. "I will be sure to tell you what it is like when I go. Maybe I can even take you."He pondered what he had said about trying to get to his own world. With all the worlds out there, there must be a way. Maybe there would be an answer out there somewhere. "Thank you."The page smiled to the prince reassuringly. ✪
