"Oi! Waiter! Didn't you here me? We want triple orders for three!" The red head in the corner shook her head unpleasantly. "I'm sorry miss…Our chiefs are going as fast as they can…" A waiter cried out a chain of excuses. The girl just glared back at the weakling of a waiter man. She was Lina Inverse and she was hungry. Xellos chuckled to himself as he watched the group with some wonderment. Just how were these foolish people going to be the ones to kill 'Gaav, the demon dragon king'? Shrugging he turned back and ordered yet another glass of water. His smiling caught him off guard when he noticed two young ladies being seated. One had a very displeased look upon her young face. She couldn't have been over 17 with dark brown hair that ran straight down her back in a loss dirty black green. The scowl of irritation written upon her features showed many dark golden brown eyes that sparkled with anger. Her companion was a youthful and beautiful girl with short silver hair. Her eyes were alight with happiness and a strange mixture of glee in the amazing color of gray cloud. This one however seemed around the age of 14 or 15. What sparked Xellos about them were the strange glows around their auras, one shone with the beauty of a monsters' black aura while the other, much to his surprise, glowed with a passionate red aura, the aura of a fire creature. 'Who are they?' He questioned in his mind as he watched them from behind a smiling face. However, when the brunette turned to glare at him, his gaze shifted back to Lina and her party with amusement.

Mihoko's golden gaze sharpened as she watched the man with a dark look before turning back to her partner. "I don't like this, Erika…" She muttered. The silver haired ex-priestess sighed and turned her light heartened expression serious. (Miho: Ha! As if that ever happens! Erika: MIHO! Miho: What? It's the truth. Good too shoes…) Mihoko sighed as she pushed her elbow length hair from her right side over her shoulder with irritation. A scowl once more graced her features. "Miho-chan….I know how much you hate these kinds of things, but please. I'm hungry and this was the only available place." Erika sighed, glancing at the man who was casting looks at them from the corner of her eye. "Why? Do you sense something a miss?" She questioned quietly. "He's a monster…" Mihoko whispered lightly, so only Erika heard her. The girl's eyes went wide. It wasn't a small fact that the two knew of the Monster Race, but the fact that he was one startled the poor dear. "But the time is coming. You know she'll return to us soon…" Erika stated in a hushed tone. "Her ladyship…I know…I know…I just don't understand why we have to be her body guards…" Mihoko huffed and crossed her arms over her brown cloak. Her companion sighed and rose to grab a quick trip to the restroom. The young woman's soft light red dress and dark black cloak trimmed in similar color made her stand out anywhere. "I'll be right back Miho. Don't kill anyone while I'm away." Erika warned. Mihoko looked up at her with innocent fake eyes. "Now who would I kill here?" The brunette questioned, taking a sip of her tea. "Whatever you say, Mihoko…But don't forget why we're in this city in the first place…" Erika warned and left. Mihoko pulled out her dagger and glanced at it before readjusting it on the space in her belt. "Who could forget that?" Miho muttered under her breath, already agitated enough.

Soft purple eyes glanced up into ruby ones and slowly scanned over the stream of time. With a dull look, Hotaru Tomoe, the raven-haired Senshi of Saturn and princess of death, destruction and rebirth glanced at the young woman she referred to as mother. "Are you certain of this?" She whispered in a cool voice. "Yes. Forgive us…and myself for not telling you sooner…" Hotaru shook her head as the woman bowed before her. "It's alright. I assumed as much. Serenity-sama and her line have for all time hated the power of their cousins, we of Saturn's royal blood…" Hotaru sighed. "But Hotaru-sama…She has betrayed you…" Setsuna, Sailor Pluto rose to stand over the young 18-year-old. "I knew it wasn't to be, I am to ascend the throne of death and chaos, she the powers of light. At one point, our trusts would have to be broken, I just never thought her the one to do it." The Saturnine princess glanced downward. Sailor Pluto nodded and turned to the gateway. "My senshi are waiting, aren't they?" She heard Hotaru whisper. Another nod answered that question. "Then I shall go…" Hotaru glared at the dark green haired warriors' back. Sailor Pluto sighed and turned to her with sad eyes. "I will miss you, little hime-chan…" She muttered. "And I you, Sets-mama. Give Ruka-papa and Michi-mama my love…" With that the doors opened and Hotaru slowly walked through them. "Say hello to Sailor Titan and Sailor Dione for me…" Sailor Pluto grinned as the princess disappeared from her sight towards a new home and a new life forever. "I love you, my sweet hime-chan, my sweet child…" Pluto muttered as the doors closed behind the girl for perhaps forever. Turning, Pluto grimaced knowing explaining the situation to the other senshi was not going to be easy, especially Usagi-hime and the two other outers.

Lina laughed out loud as she and the others walked down the trail to where Xellos had pointed out the temple. "So this temple, Xel, is supposed to hold a gateway to the Claire bible?" She asked the monster priest. The nodded, smiling and saying, "It's a legend that this temple will take you where ever and whenever you please…But I don't know if it's only a legend…" He shrugged. "You mean you could have brought us here for nothing? You…you…." Zegaldis looked rather mad as both Gourry and Amelia struggled to hold him back. "Hey…What's that?" Lina stopped to gaze at the doors of the crystal looking temple. Shining from them was a bright light and two young women stood there waiting, bowing on their knees. One with long brown hair in a simple ponytail of a dirty black green holder with a brown cloak covering her almost completely. The cloak, however, did nothing to hide her small black shoes that stuck out so carefully. Her companion wore a red dress simple in design and effort but light and textures that made her stick out. The dress itself was straight and reached her lower ankles but had buttons running up it in a ruby colored fashion. It also had a dark ribbon almost the same color of blood. A cape of black trimmed in the same color swooshed about her shoulders and ran down to her lower knees. "Hey…Lemme see…" Gourry insisted pushing at Lina. "I wonder who they are…and what their up to…" Zelgadis commented in a serious tone, his blue eyes glaring at the women. The light of the temple doors shinned brighter as it opened further. Xellos frowned as he pondered to himself, 'This I wonder as well, friend, this I wonder as well…'
