Sailor Faerie Star >~_~<*** (* _these stand for my tears of sadness) *Child-like Empress in Training* " And so, our story begins." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Crystal Labrynth of Sorrow Chapter Two " NOOOOOOOO!!" Serenity hit her knees to the ground, tears streaming down her face, " NOO! SERENA! Oh no! My sweet daughter!" Luna stared on in shock, tears falling, " No, not the princess!" The princesses stared in utter disbelief, gasping. The Generals, likewise, hoping the prince was still alive. Darien was on his hands and knees, clutching at his chest, tears streaming. " No!" he coughed, gasping for air," Why? Why?! Who could have taken her?! Why could they?!" He struggled to stand and leaned on the tree for support. He had lost her, he thought, but I will get her back! Amy and Lita helped Serenity to her chambers while Zoicite and Nephlite followed. Rei and Jedite ran off, looking for anything that could explain the princess' dissapearance, while Mina and Malachite ran towards the prince. " My Lord, are you alright?" Malachite questioned, breathlessly. Darien stared off to the direct spot where Serena had vanished. Then, his face changed to determination," Malachite, I'm going after her." Malachite and Mina were taken aback," But...how?" Darien looked downcast," I...I don't know." " Come, your highness," Offered Mina," You must come inside. It will be evening soon." " No," Darien said," I will not leave this spot until my love is returned." Malachite and Mina tried persuading him further but he could not be budged. Finally, they gave up and went inside. They met the others, except Serenity, in the throne room. All of them looked mistified and Lita looked as if she would break down and cry. " Why? Why?!" She spoke, choking back tears," Who would take the princess? We have no enemies!" As Nephlite tried to calm her, Queen Serenity entered the room. Struggling to keep her composure, she sat at her throne and surveyed the room. " Where is Prince Darien?" " He would not come, my queen," Malacjite spoke, sorrowfully," he is insistent on staying at the exact spot of the princess' dissapearance until she is returned." Serenity looked down," I never thought this day would come. But I have no choice." She looked up, her eyes glittering with tears. The others did not understand what was going on. Serenity stood, raised her hand and called out," Pluto! Keeper of Time! It has come to past that we are in desperate need of your help! Please! Make yourself known!" The air seemed to shimmer and then focased to the very center of the room. There, a woman with long dark hair ina scouts uniform and carring a long staff that looked like a key. The princesses and Generals had never seen such a thing. The woman bowed and spoke to Serenity," My Queen, I have witnessed all that has taken place and know the graveity of the situation. But I am not the one to save her." Prince Darien, who had seen the light in the throne room and thinking his love was returned, ran into the room. Hearing these last few words, ran up to Pluto and asked," Then who is it that can save her?" Pluto turned to him," You." Darien stared," How?" " With the help of her friends," Pluto waved her hand towards the princesses, who wondered how this could be true. " You all have a secret in you that has yet to be revealed and won't be for a very long time. It is in the future where the princess is being held and it is in the future that you will be revealed. But if the one who stole the princess succeeds in his task, that future will end." " What can we do?" Rei asked. Pluto sighed," I will send you all to that future to save the princess and it will not be easy. But first..." She closed her eyes and raised her hands and staff. The princesses and Darien glowed and were lifted. " What's happening?!" Amy stared at herself as did the others. Suddenly, they glowed with such intensity and felt a great surge of energy cut through them painfully. They screamed in pain as they glowed brighter and brighter, until they could not be seen in the light. --------------------------%@------%@---------------------------------- Well, I guess I'm finished for now.*sadly speaking, depressed*
