The Rose Cometh…

by: Angela Wall
(a.k.a. Nightrose)




Prince Diamond sat at his throne, looking over the woman who knelt before him. She had the most vibrant auburn hair ever seen, yet her skin was an awesome contrast with its paleness. With just a glance of her stormy blue eyes, anyone would take a step back seeing the coldness and intimidation that dwelt there. Her body had begun to blossom and start to show what a beauty she would be in the future. Her outfit consisted of black pants that flowed over her legs. Her top was black also. It was long sleeved, tucked into the pants. Over the back and front of the shirt, there was a red dragon that swirled on the front of the shirt, tail ending on the back. It almost seemed alive as she walked around. In the mouth of the dragon was a single red rose. She had the body of a 17 year old, but her experience was way beyond her years. She was the perfect warrior.

"Rose, I have a mission for you," the prince enunciated perfectly.

The medium length auburn hair spilled over her shoulder out of her face as she looked up into his eyes, "Yes, Prince Diamond. What do you wish for me to do?"

The prince shuddered inside as those cold, calculating eyes reached his own. After a moment, he took a deep breath so he could speak, "I wish for you to travel to the past. We need to keep an eye on the Sailor Senshi. We have plans that cannot be interfered with."

Rose simply nodded, "Yes, my prince. You wish for me to deal with them in case they come to be a hassle?"

Prince Diamond quickly stopped her train of thought, "No. You are only to be an observer." He saw Rose’s eyes flash in a bit of anger, knowing that she didn’t like to just observe, "I need my best warrior to keep up with them." He held out his hand causing nega energy to create a small energy ball in his outstretched palm. He smiled at Rose as the energy disintegrated and left two items: a pair of onyx rose earrings and a pair of sunglasses. Without a word, he handed the two items to his warrior. "You will need these. Go ahead and put them on."

Taking the offered items, she put the rose earrings on then placed the silver oval rimmed sunglasses on her face. With a slightly confused look, she stood before the prince, "May I ask what these are for, sir?"

Prince Diamond saw the gears turning in Rose’s mind and smiled. He always liked a woman that had a mind of her own. He blinked his eyes, not at first hearing the question, "They are for you. The earrings will help you communicate with me at any time. Just think of what you want to tell me, and I will receive the message." Rose nodded as she lightly fingered one of the earrings, making sure that it would not fall off.

Nodding in approval, the white haired prince states, "The sunglasses will help you during the day. We both know about how the sunlight affects your eyes."

Rose nodded slowly remembering the time that they had first gone to the past. She had screamed as the light felt like it burned her eyes. From then on, she had to make sure that before she stepped into a heavily lit room she had some sort of protection over her eyes. Smiling to herself, she remembers the prince himself making sure that all of the rooms in his castle were dim enough to where she would not be affected by the light coming in.

Tapping her sunglasses’ arm, "Very good idea, sir. What persona do you wish for me to maintain while I am there?"

Diamond made a few motions with his hands and a small book appeared in front of her, "You are to be known as Leila Hurst, an 9th grade student at Juuban Crossroads. Your parents died when you were very young, so you don’t remember them." He motioned to the book, "It has the address where you will be staying. Your apartment is completely furnished, along with any extra clothing that you might need. Just report to Juuban Crossroads for school and everything else will fall into place. If you need anything else that we haven’t thought of, you just need to let me know." He taps his ear lightly, indicating the earrings.

Looking over the book in front of her, "Tis detailed enough. I shall do my best, my prince." Shutting the book, she held out her hand while a book bag appeared in front of her. She placed the book in the bag and hung it over her shoulder. "When do I leave?"

Diamond admired her loyalty. It was very rare to have a fighter of her capability. He knew that if he called her into action, that she would probably single-handedly take down the problem of those annoying senshi. With a smile and nod, "You leave immediately. You don’t need any of your things, just your person."

The air chilled as a black figure appeared next to the throne. The figure hovered above the floor, covered in a black cloak. His thin, gnarled hands constantly ran over a crystal ball that he had hovering over his lap, "My prince." Diamond calmly looked over at the cloaked figure, "Wiseman, do you wish to speak with me?"

The cloaked figure looked up, "Yes I do. You wish to send this young girl into the past when you need to send your strongest warrior?"

Rose clenched her fists as she fought off the thoughts that were running through her head. She hated the Wiseman. She didn’t know why, but every time that she was around him, he made her blood boil over.

Seeing the fire in Rose’s eyes start to peak, he looked straight at Wiseman, "I have chosen my strongest warrior. She will do quite nicely and blend right into what we need. When I need your opinions, Wiseman, I will ask for them." With that said, he raised his hand and a portal opened into the past. He motioned to Rose, "The past awaits you."

Rose bowed to the prince and the Wiseman. She turned towards the portal and with a deep breath, she stepped into the portal, and into the past.
