Dust in the
wind
As I walk
through the barren night I feel as if everything had left me. I know that
nothing is right anymore, I know that we are under attack. I hope and pray
to any god that may listen that she is all right, although I know she is.
I feel our kingdom being attacked. I feel the pain that she feels as you
realize the truth. I feel her heart as I feel my own. I wish I could leave
the castle Miranda, just to see her once, just to feel her, to know that
she is safe. But I know I can't, just as she can't. Destined to be here,
waiting while all that we try to protect is being destroyed. I pray to any
god that will listen that she is all right, and then I feel our princess
die.
***********************************************************************************************
I stare at
the mirror, given to me by fate. It teases me, taunts me, and I know it
will never give me a clear answer. I ask to see my beloved just to know if
she is all right, but all it shows me is the wind picking up the dust on
her desolate planet. I know she does well though, I would feel her death
as if it were my own. I know why I want to see her comforting face so. The
Queen is under attack. And it is from the inside so we are not needed.
What a trouble, knowing I can help in some way, knowing that I could be
beside my love in battle, but our orders keep us in our castles. She on
Miranda, me on Triton.
I feel
slight pain as the queen feels turmoil, and I send out a prayer to the
kami that all turns out well. I send a feeling of love to SailorUranus, my
beloved to be sure that she knows I am in no danger. And suddenly I drop
my mirror, as I feel our princess die.
***********************************************************************************************
My breathing
is irregular, my pulse has quickened. Could it really be? Could our
princess have died? I know it is true but I disillusion myself, make some
excuse for the pain I felt. And I know it was worse because I felt my
love's pain too, SailorNeptune. And I feel a slight disturbance as the
Deep Aqua Mirror is broken. I wait, and eternity it seems, but the pain is
not over. I have recieved no word, and I know the battle is still being
waged. What good are my powers, what good is having the planet Uranus as
my guarding diety if all that I live to protect is being
destroyed.
***********************************************************************************************
The mirror
begins to form again, as it would in a time like this. I know beyond any
doubt that our princess is dead, that the battle is still being fought and
that Uranus feels as helpless as I do. I ask the mirror to show me my
love, and once again nothing but dust in the wind. I ask to see the
kingdom, and I see nothing but dust in the wind. I start to cry and pray
to Neptune that I get to see my love at least once more.
***********************************************************************************************
As time
passes I feel lighter than I ever have. And suddenly I am in the air,
above our broken kingdom, with my beloved and my fellow senshi in arms by
my side. As the Queen tells us her plan I fight the tears that would come
from seeing such beauty destroyed. Together, Neptune, Pluto and I call
upon SailorSaturn, the senshi of death and rebirth to destroy the remnants
of our once great kingdom. I look to my beloved and move my hand to touch
hers. For one brief moment our hands touch, and then the sky blazes in a
rainbow of colors.
***********************************************************************************************
As the tears
of my pain blind me I feel the wind against my face. As my vision clears I
see we are above our ruined city. There is no more Silver Millenium, all
is dead. I see my beloved and we share a sad smile. The Queen tells us of
her plan and all we can do is agree. We call upon Saturn, and she says
three words that I wished to never hear. 'Death Reborn Revolution.' And
the world is over. All that we have worked for, all that we protected is
gone. As the lights dim to just that light from the sun, or from the now
hated earth, I can see dust in the wind, the only thing left of what we
used to be.
