SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1Okay, I do not own Sailor Moon or anything involved with Sailor Moon. However I own my imagination and this story comes right from there.

and we're praying that it's not to late."-Robbie Williams

The Beginning of the End by Ami "KittyCat" Misuno

Prologue

The Cauldron shimmered and rippled, sending sparks up. Up and up to the tiny walkway that protruded over it. On the walkway there was a boy. Young, very young, he sat and watched the Cauldron's making and taking each day. His hair was short and brown with gold highlights that caught the sparks and flashed with them. His frame was thin, delicate, he wore simple clothes from anytime and anyplace. His eyes stared, pure gold, at the Cauldron. His arms pulled his knees in close, curving his back, closing himself. He was cold, blown around by a wind that carried stars seeds across the galaxy and back.

            "I have always been here. I am the Bringer. I will bring the universe to the beginning. I am born of nothing, of only the dust star seeds. I am dust. But Dust will bring an end to the universe."

            "Yesssssssss...." whispered the Cauldron, "that is what we taught you, Dust....Remember Dust, remember..."

            "I am Dust. Dust is the...end" His expression was unchanged, "I am Dust."

            "Yessssss...."

            Chibiusa woke from her steady sleep gasping and nearly crying out. That boy, that boy. Why was he at the Cauldron? What about the end of the Universe? But Sailor Moon, no, Sailor Comos had won that battle years ago. She looked out of the window, the stars still shone. Should she tell Elios? On the silent cue of the universe Elios stirred beside her.

            "My beautiful dreamer. I could not find you in your dreams so I woke to find you. What is the matter?" Glad she did not have to decide to wake him she pressed herself against his naked chest.

            "I had a nightmare of the Cauldron," she said, feeling his warmth on her face.

            "Poor, poor dreamer girl," he soothed as he wrapped his arms around her peachy shoulders. "What happened?"

            "Nothing...just a boy. But...I thought we'd have peace now," she rubbed her growing belly, "I thought our child would be the first moonchild not to fight."

            "Shh, shh. Don't worry so much. It's just a nightmare. Your so used to fighting your making enemies up. Just go back to sleep. We'll talk more in the morning."

            "Okay. Goodnight."

            "Goodnight."

            But Elios did not sleep. He knew the power of Chibiusa's dreams. Tomorrow he must tell the King and Queen. It was important not to upset Chibiusa. She was weak from battling since a young age. The stress of palace life was to much for her. A miscarriage or accident was all to possible. He could not bear life without Chibiusa or with the death of the child growing within her.
