Return to the Temple's Entrance

Onwards to Part 14
"A Not so Crystal Clear Destiny" What if Sailor Moon had been kidnapped and brain washed by the
Negaverse instead of Tuxedo Mask? What would Darien have done? Who would take over as the leader
of the Sailor Scouts? How would Serena's family and other friends react to her disappearance? These are
just a few of the questions that I intend to answer in this story of what if.

After the encounter with Sailor Mercury and Venus, Malachite teleported Selenite and himself back to his castle. Selenite once more had the ability to move, but was still terribly chilled after Mercury's ice bubbles and so had gone to take a hot bath.
Meanwhile Malachite sat in his throne room; relaxing and thinking.
"What are you thinking?" Malachite asked himself. "Attached to her? She's the same annoying brat that was causing me all sorts of frustration, and she's partly to balme for the death of Zoicite. But, I must admit that I feel something when I'm with her."
"I'm sorry, Zoicite," he said aloud, "I will never forget you, but I must move on." Malachite sighed deeply and closed his eyes.
"Is something troubling you, my lord?" Selenite asked, entering the hall.
"Oh, no, nothing at all. Do you feel better now," he asked changing the subject.
"Yes, very much, thank you," she yawned. "Excuse me, I think that I'll retire to my room. Good night, Malachite."
"Good night, Selenite," he took hold of her hand and gently kissed it.
Selenite blushed a little and then turned to leave. Half way across the room she tripped over her own two feet and fell to the floor.
"OUCH! THAT HURT," she wailed as she gingerly got to her feet.
"Are you alright," Malachite asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm sorry," she sighed. "Why do I keep tripping? I wish I wasn't such a klutz!"
Malachite smiled, "That's just part of your charm. I think it's kind of cute."
Selenite blushed again, "Well, good night." She scurried out the room.
Ten minutes later Selenite was in bed fast asleep as she tossed and turned in mid-dream.
"Darien," she murmmered, "Darien, no, come back! Set me free again, my prince, I need your help."
At the same time Darien awoke from a dream gasping for air, "Serena?" He sat up, tossed his blanket aside, and went out to his balcony. "I know you're out there, Serena," he said while gazing at the moon. "You will be free again, so help me my princess, I shall set you free.
"Hm," Luna sighed, peering around the corner at Darien. She had followed him home and had barely got in his apartment door before he closed it. "Darien?" Luna cautiously stepped out onto the balcony.
"Luna," he look down at her, "How did you get here?"
"Never mind that now," she said jumping up onto the railing. "Serena is out there, but..."
"But what?"
"She's working for them, they've brainwashed her. She told us that her name is Selenite and then fought against Mercury and Venus. We need your help to get her back, Darien. Will you help us?"
"Yes, Luna, in any way I can."
"Thank you, I'll bring you up to speed on what's happened in the morning."
"I don't think that I can sleep right now, Luna, go ahead and tell me now. Perhaps the more I know, the more my mind will be at ease"
"I truly doubt that," Luna said, "But alright." And so Luna began her story; filling Darien in on every detail.
~¤§¤~¤§~¤§¤~¤§~¤§¤~¤§~¤§¤~¤§~¤§¤~¤§¤
"Ahhh!" Selenite let forth a blood curdling scream and sat straight up in her bed.
Malachite burst into the room and rushed to her bedside. "Selenite," he reached out and took hold of her hand, "Are you okay, my dear?"
"Y-yes, I'm fine, my lord," she inhaled deeply and realeased it slowly. "I just had a weird dream and it frightened me. Will you sit here until I fall back to sleep?" She look at him with her big blue pleading eyes.
"Anything for you, Selenite," Malachite said as he pulled a chair over next to her bed and sat down.
"Thank you, Malachite," she said as she turned back over on her side and almost instantaneously drifted back off to sleep.
Malachite stayed by her side for the rest of the night and even managed to fall asleep in the chair.
And so passed the night in both dimensions.
