Rei sighed mournfully as she had figured things would turn out like they had. She had hoped the Knight would be more agreeable than she had been. She resigned herself to fighting this Knight for whatever good it would do. "I truly do not wish to fight you Knight of the Realm but if that is your choice then I let us be done with it." she said to her as she pulled her swords from the ground and assumed a fighting stance ready to take the Knight to task. However it seemed things would not be as Rei felt the crystal beneath her armor spark to life.<br/><br/>As she felt that spark Rei heard a voice coming up the road itself. As she turned to look at the woman who had called to them her mind was struck by what she saw.<em>"It can't be!"</em>she thought. The girl from a distance looked exactly like the Princess. As she neared closer to them Rei's eyes did go wide.<em>"It is her!"</em>Rei thought before she lowered her weapons and turned to Makoto when she spoke with authority and conviction to the woman to make any of the Knight Masters proud, however it was unwarranted."Knight of the Realm I would lower your weapon. For how can you brandish a weapon to your Master?"  she asked Makoto before lowering her own weapons and walking over to her.<br/><br/>As she approached Serenity she thrust her swords into the ground as she bent the knee to Serenity. "It is well to see you Princess." she with her own head bowed. "I Rei Ignacia Priestess of the Spirit of Fire pledge myself to thee Princess. My sword and my bow are yours to command, as they have always been. When I wielded them in the name of your mother so to do I wield them in your name." she said to Serenity with as much conviction and sincerity as Makoto had declared her intentions to bring her to justice moments before.
