Prologue

***Minato-Asahi's POV***

Just over a thousand years after the Battle of Nemesis, in a small room inside the Palace nestled in a park in Crystal Tokyo, a young boy watched in sadness as a green haired woman wept, clutching tightly to a small red blanket covered in embroidered suns and hourglasses. She rocked forward and back in the wooden rocking chair where she had once nursed her youngest child.

Asahi's heart hurt. He wanted to find the baby as much as her mother did. He stood just inside the door, unsure how he could help. Mothers around the galaxy were being celebrated, but Setsuna was sad. One of her children, the youngest, was missing.

Heliodor. She had been taken more than six months before. Not only was she Setsuna and Haruki's daughter, but also his soulmate. He had met her less than an hour after her birth, and had held her more than even her brothers and sisters. Now he was sad, thinking about what was happening to her, and where she was. Did she remember her family? Did she know she was loved?

Stepping forward slowly and cautiously, Asahi reached out and put a hand on Setsuna's shoulder. She was like an aunt to him, though technically they weren't related. She and the other heroes who had long fought alongside his parents were very close, and all the children ran and played together. It helped to have others like themselves. They even attended schools together, now that they were getting older.

Setsuna looked up and gave him a little smile. "You miss her too?" she asked, though he knew she was already aware of the answer.

"I'm going to find her," he promised. "I won't give up. Not ever."

"I know little one," Setsuna said, pulling him into her lap. "I know you will." When she said it, her words really did sound like the truth. She was the Guardian of Time after all, and that made a lot of sense. Maybe she did know. Maybe she knew something that he didn't.

When Auntie Sets was busy rocking him back and forth, he reached down and stole one of her keys. She had five of them, and they were all golden and pretty. But he needed one now. It was time. He didn't know how he knew. But he did. He had to go.

Giving her one last hug, he slipped off her lap and out the door, running as fast as he could to a little garden seldom used by anyone other than himself and the other children. He didn't speak to anyone, or ask for help. He knew it was time to go. He couldn't wait anymore.

Holding up the key, he whispered the words he had heard so many times before. "Guardian of time! Tear apart the sky and open the Door of Space-time to me! I call your true name, the almighty god of time, the guardian of time's father, Chronos! Guidance to me! Protection to me! The path of light to me!"

Asahi didn't see little Mako racing towards him. There was a rush of light and sound and he felt himself being pulled fast into a chaos of noise and wind. His clothing whipped around him and he bit his lip in fear. It was very scary and he didn't like it. But he had to save Heliodor. He had to find her.

Suddenly he heard a scream and saw Mako. She didn't have a key! He reached out and took her hand, wrapping both his arms around her as she screamed and screamed in his ear. He threw all of his heart and mind and everything he had into appearing on Mother's Day, shortly after the Battle of Nemesis a thousand years before. He held Mako tight, determined to keep her safe, and let the winds of time take them both into the past.

***Future Setsuna's POV***

With a sigh, Setsuna stood from her perch in the rocking chair. Her heart was heavy with grief. She had already missed so much of Heliodor's life. It was an awful burden. She wished Time worked differently. It was very likely she already had the answers to when and where her daughter was, but the memory wouldn't come until it was time. Even she was not immune to the protections Father Chronos had put on the Time Door.

As soon as little Asahi bolted out of the chamber a memory hit her like a wave and she knew he would be going into the past. A sigh escaped and she hurried to where the king and queen were surrounded by their own children. The little ones had been making cards for their mothers all week. She had four of them herself, and though one of her children was missing, she still had the others to love and protect.

"Majesty," she whispered, leaning close to Usagi. She went by Serenity in public, but to Setsuna she would always be little Usagi with the bright eyes and brighter heart.

"What is it Sets? Are you alright?"

"I am. Asahi has gone."

"Gone? Where?" Minako said, rushing over. "Is he okay? Where is he?"

"He's gone into the past to look for Heliodor. As soon as he left the room I remembered he had stolen my key. There's something else," she added, looking around the room.

The other adults were all gathering closer around her now, and she winced when she heard Nephrite's frantic voice calling for little Mako.

"She was accidentally pulled into the past with him," Setsuna confirmed. "They'll go straight to our past selves. He's very smart about that. But we need to send Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Mamo to him."

"And me!" Tentomushi cried. "I promised too!"

"Yes," Queen Serenity said, grabbing her little hand. "You can go too," she said softly, kneeling. "But I have a memory of my own," she added. "Something I've known about for a very long time. Can you keep a secret?"

Tentomushi nodded her head, her eyes serious. The queen knelt down and whispered something in her ear before pulling her into a huge hug.

"I'll remember!" Tentomushi said, and hugged her hard. Then she was pulling away. "Where's my bug ball?" she asked.

"Here!" King Endymion strode forward with a small round ball designed to look like a ladybug. Setsuna had helped Ami and Zoicite in their creation. Each child had their own, each specific to their needs.

Chibi-Usa and Chibi-Mamo moved forward and took their little sister's hands. "We'll protect her," they promised in unison.

"Be safe my loves," Serenity said, kissing each child on the forehead.

"We will. Love you!" Chibi-Usa said, her eyes bright with excitement. To the kids it seemed a great adventure, going into the past. The adults knew just how dangerous a time they were preparing to enter.

"Protect one another. Remember we love you," said the king.

"We will dad," Chibi-Mamo said. He took the key Setsuna held out to him and spoke the words. The adults pulled the other children back, not willing to risk any being caught and dragged into the winds of time.
