When Sophia tries to hug the power guardian, she will likely stumble forward and potentially awkwardly land on her torso: the power guardian didn't seem to have a tangible mass, or at least when she wasn't actively doing something. Perhaps it was a means of energy conservation or the nature of the entity. Or perhaps yet a minor prank on the guardian's part. Who knows?

"I do not have another name. I never thought to ask for one, and I rarely saw Lady Venus during the prime days of the Moon Kingdom since she served the court. When she mentioned the new Venus Knight, the guardian frowned slightly/

"The new Guardian is a bit of...an anomaly. When the first Venus Male Guardian was defeated and suffered extensive damage, it 'overloaded' the light power so to speak for a brief time, so when a new guardian was activated, his powers which already had a natural bent towards the negative seemed to build more on the idea of hate and suffering. It is...unfortunate, but I hope in time he may at least acknowledge the positive sides of Venus as well. The personal connection, that's only minorly influenced by Venus. It is a greater result of personal compatibility that just enhances your powers in each others presence to an extent."

The hug doesn’t go as planned as Sophia ends up almost tripping. “Huh… You aren’t solid.” It’s a little weird, but she doesn’t dwell on it. Maybe the power guardian was more of a spirit than a shape-changing pixie.

“She never gave you a name?” Sophia sounds surprised. The former Venus senshi seemed so different from her. “There’s always time to give someone a name! Aglaea is sort of a cool name. So is Aine. Or you can come up with your own name that you like.”

She frowns as the power guardian talks about David. It was pretty depressing to think that he had a natural disposition to hatred and suffering. The light and love thing came somewhat naturally to her, and she assumed that her knight would feel similarly. “It sounds terrible to live like that. Sort of like the youma. It’s the same with the new Eris Knight too. So much anger.” She remembers him eating the fire youma earlier in the night, and she stays quiet for a few seconds. “Do you think that those two will let go of that negativity?”

"If that is what you wish, then I will identify myself as Aglaea." she says, then shaking her head a little bit when she was shocked the other Venus didn't give her a name.

"You might say I was a part of her supernatural side given form. I may not have been given a name because I was an extension of herself. It is complex, and I do not entirely understand my origin. I've just carried out my function since it gives my existence meaning" she says with a warm smile, before she then shrugging a little.

"Eris' reactivation is a surprise to me. I could faintly sense it recently. In a distant past, when Queen Selenity herself had just ascended the throne and the princess wasn't even born yet, the Eris Senshi sacrificed herself to protect the Moon Kingdom from a threat from outer space, using her life force to seal off the Sol System from the presence in question. If Eris is giving power to a guardian however, then it could very well be that the shell is fading. If something isn't done, then another power may come to interfere eventually...but that is not an immediate concern. The shield will hold for now...at the very least, Beryl will bring ruin to the world long before anything else could even get here."

She then shakes her head at the question of letting go their anger.

"I cannot read Eris Guardian's tendencies remotely. However the Venus Guardian suffered much, far more than most people can endure, and thus needs time to heal. With luck Venus' energy may help mend his troubled heart." she says, before frowning a little. "...Of course, if he doesn't let it go and he dives further into pain, his soul might give out in the long run. Traditionally, guardians don't draw on their negative influence unless a dire situation called for it. The effects of long term primary use are unknown to me at this time."

Sophia shakes her head... The spirit guardian didn’t seem to get the point. “But what do YOU want? I suggested Aglaea, but you don’t have to go by that if you don’t want to. I’m not going to force you to respond to a name that you hate.”

Sophia looks hopeful after hearing about the knights, “I think David is resilient enough to get better. If he’s been through as much as you are saying and keeps moving forward, I believe in him. And if Eris’ original senshi was so heroic, I’m sure Lance has that in him somewhere.”

Looking at the power guardian, she can’t imagine what it must feel like to not be a separate entity from something else. “You said were an extension of the last Venus senshi… can you tell me more about her?”

"I shall go be Aglaea" the guardian now named Aglaea firmly declares as a way to end the debate about it. The name sounded nice to it and it would most likely please her mistress in the new Lady Venus to go by that thing. The lack of an alternative idea also gave her no reason to protest it. She then smiled a little to reassure Sophia about the other two knights. When the subject changed to the question of the other Venus Senshi, she smiled a little as she began to speak of her.

"She was a strong, beautiful woman whom had a pure heart. She served the court of the Moon as the head of the guardian senshi and led them in combat whenever the situation arose. She was talented in music, dance, and many other skills along with the first wielder of the Moon Sword. She embodied everything a senshi should aspire to be and lived it every day." Aglaea says calmly while floating about and heading down a hallway as if looking for something, leaving Sophia to likely follow. She pokes at a few doors, but has yet to find the correct one.

Sophia follows Aglaea out. The power guardian certainly seemed fond of her, and it seemed almost like impossible shoes to fill. “I wish she was still around. I think the team could use her. And Kenji used the Moon Sword. Perhaps the honor of that goes to knights now? I feel really bad that I lost it…” It’s not like she could imagine using a sword anyways.

However, she begins to notice Aglaea is looking for something. In a castle, she can imagine misplacing things all the time though. More space meant more space for items to become lost, especially over the course of hundreds of years. “This place is huge. What’s behind all these doors anyways? I noticed some of them were locked too.”

"That's impossible. The Moon Sword was sealed on the Moon by Lady Venus when the tide turned and the Moon Kingdom was about to be destroyed. She wanted to prevent it from falling into evil's hands since the sword was created by the Silver Crystal and can be used to greatly amplify the power of the wielder, whether for good or for evil." she says as she thinks and then shrugs looking at Sophia.

"If you mean the blade that the first Venus Guardian held, it is an imitation at best, a reflection of the totem that Lady Venus once used during her tenure as a senshi. Had they captured the real Moon Sword, it could quite possibly spell a quicker end to the Earth." she says a little grimly, before she then paused at Sophia's inquiry about the doors.

"Once upon a time, Magellan Castle was fully staffed and housed by servants of Lady Venus. Many of these rooms are individual quarters, some are for functions like the machinery that maintains this castle's place in the skies of Venus and managing the bond between Senshi and Planetary Influence. Currently, I am trying to remember where Lady Venus' personal quarters are.." she says, as she wanders about and then finally finds around a corner a room emblazoned by the symbol of Venus, faintly glowing. As she tries to open it, it refuses to budge and lets loose an audible chime, causing Aglaea to pause.

"...Well, that's odd. I cannot enter this room." she says, as she then begins to poke, prod, and nudge the lock, even so far as trying to pick the mundane looking lock on the front. There would be several moments of futility before she stops and gives up, turning to Sophia.

"I apologize, but it appears that there is an anomaly with the magical seal and it will take me some time to figure out why I cannot open this door. If you come back another time, I may be able to open it then."

Sophia looks relieved at the mention of the real Moon Sword being someplace else. “Great. Then maybe we can find the real one! Hopefully, before one of the Zodiac does. I should find a way to bring David here, and then maybe we can all talk about finding it. Maybe the door will be unlocked then. Besides, since the planetary power split to both a senshi and knight, this place is half his. Hmmm… would that make him a prince?”

She then is a little quiet as she ponders a strange question. The planetary powers were split, forming a senshi and knight. But did that only apply to the Sailor senshi? “Aglaea, you wouldn’t happen to know if the Silver Princess is a single person, would you? I mean, the planetary powers all got split… I was wondering if maybe her power did as well. Maybe there is a prince and princess running around or something now.”

"The Moon Kingdom is protected by the energies of the Silver Crystal. It will require the same to enter." Aglaea says for a moment, then blinking several times in response to the remark about David being the Prince. The notion never occurred to the power guardian, so how to word it...

"If that is what you wish, then you may designate him as a prince, consort, regent, or whatever you deem fit my lady."

The question about the Silver Princess dampened Aglaea's mood a little. It was never pleasant to tell your mistress that you lacked the information she needed in order to make her inquiries satisfied. She shimmered a little as she tried to reach out into her knowledge banks, but came back empty.

"A possibility, but I cannot confirm it at this time. The long term effects of the power split are still being analyzed at this time, and for all I know there might be one side that loses the power. However, the Silver Princess was not a sailor senshi at the time, so it is entirely possible that she reincarnated as a single entity. That is the current theory I believe." Aglaea says as she pauses and then dims the light that made up her essence just slightly.

"Lady Venus, I am concerned about your well being if you stay separated from your body too long. It is possible you might lose the ability to return if you stay too long. Your mental stress is still sizable." she says calmly, pointing out a concern and aspect of the astral projection that needed to not be taken for granted.

“I guess I’ll figure his title out. Prince just seemed appropriate. Ummm… definitely, not consort though,” Sophia blushes a little. She just met the guy! But Aglaea probably didn’t mean to imply what she did.

Sophia seems unbothered by the lack of information. This situation was strange for all those involved, not just the recently awakened senshi and knights. “Alright, so assume we are looking for a single person right now. I suppose that makes things a ton easier that way. Hopefully, she’ll turn up soon.”

“Oh yeah… I was going to go to bed,” she remembers at the mention of her body. “This place is so cool though. But I guess I’ll have to explore the rest on a later date. Thank you for everything, Aglaea.”

She envisions home, her room, and her body. And she snaps back. It’s a jolting experience. Everything is almost unreal, but she can feel the Venus pendant with her. The ability to see the hearts of others… And supposedly, the Silver Princess had the biggest one of all. However, with that kind of power, one would hope that they would. She feels sleep take over. Maybe tomorrow they would have more luck in finding her…
