Dreaming is a natural psychological thing we have blessings, visions, nightmares, and night terrors. Each can have a positive or negative reaction. Who would have thought your dreams will bring you traveling to help another world...

I have been having strange dreams lately... They seem almost real. If this is a vision, perhaps I should follow it's directions. On the other hand, it could be just a trick my subconscious plays on me.

"Princess Antheia, reborn ruler of the Imperial Moon Kingdom, I call to thee. I, the power flow of the planet Auldrant, need you to answer..." A deep voice called to me. I found myself located in a rural kingdom. It seemed almost set in the past. I turned and saw it was a mechanic working place - one I didn't know of. I tried to grab the attention of a woman who walked past me. However, as if I were mute, no sound came out - she didn't notice me. "You must save the planet Auldrant before this..." The voice paused. I felt the earth below me shake. Everyone began to panic. The land was cracking and sliding towards the core. "You, princess of Fallencia, must aid those you rule over!" After the man's voice spoke, I heard everyone's screams. I saw myself and the land I was on, slip further and further away from the surface. I saw a faint purple smoke and knew immediately what it was, from folklore - miasma. The ground began to crack apart and I fell. The miasma was getting heavier as I was going, and I saw a dark mud. All of these people will die! I have to help them! Not because I am a moon princess, but because I don't wish to see another world crumble. I didn't want to see countless lives lost.

I shot up from my bed, knocking Luna down to the ground. I was definitely awake now, so was she. She gave me this terribly dark look and jumped back on the bed. "Next time will you warn someone, Serenity." Luna requested as she began to settle back down. My eyes held worry, which claimed her attention. "Did you have another dream about that world, Auldrant?" I nodded slowly.

"It went further this time Luna... The earth cracked and people were falling towards the planet's core..." I began to break down as I said it. Luna stood and cuddled into me. "The voice said 'you, princess of Fallencia, must aid those you rule over.' I know Fallencia is in another galaxy, but I didn't know it resides in a galaxy farther than Kinmoku's..." My thoughts began to drift off until I brought myself back. "I want to go help that world... If what I saw was a vision, then another world will be lost to the power of darkness..." Luna began to nod.

"Dreams like this aren't set up to scare you but to warn you... Perhaps you and the girls - " I stopped her right there.

"No, they have done so much, fought so many battles, they need a break. I want to go alone. Should I require scout assistance I will let them know, somehow..." I debated with a sigh. Luna seems to silently withdraw. She knows that I will out-stubborn her any day of the week. She stood up and did a back flip. On my lap there was a round compact. "Luna, I already have a brooch..." I said as I pulled out mine. She shook her head.

"Look closer, Serenity." Luna uttered with a hint of agitation. I did so and found it was a circular pendant. It was silver and golden with 8 different gems. Each of the gems had the symbol for each of the planets, while the moon in the center stood for Usagi, and the pink gem stood for Chibiusa. I smiled and opened it. It seemed to be a communicator.

"I invented this on the moon, didn't I?" I asked as I looked from the communication device to Luna. She nodded.

"You were quite the tinker." She chuckled. "I improved your prototype, but only slightly. You can text with the keys," Luna pointed to the little alphabet keys, "You can get video screening," she then pointed to the screen, "And you can also get full-body holograms. The communication wrist-watches I gave the other scouts, will scan their bodies so you can see full visual, vice versa for your device." I smiled, picked her up, and hugged her into my body.

"Thank you Luna... For everything." I whispered as I began to snuggle into her fur. She began to purr, knowing that she may not see me for a while. I put her back down on the bed and went over to my make-shift closet. I am currently living in Usagi's Earth mom, Ikuko's, attic. I began to search through my clothes and found the dress I designed with Minako's help. It had an over-dress of lilac, and an under skirt of cherry blossom pink. It had a shawl that my brooch was attached to, as well as some arm warmer-gloves I made. I then brought out custom-made boots made by some shoe store in the shopping area. Luna was watching as I laid everything out. I went into my chest of drawers and pulled out my time key. This seemed to shock Luna. "Mother entrusted it to me in a dream once. She said that I had it when I was arrived on the moon kingdom here. That it, baring similarity to they keys with Pluto, had time-space magic inside it. No doubt a gift from my Fallencia family..." I held the key up to my lip as I tried to think.

"Now isn't the time, Serenity, you have a planet to save!" Luna lectured. I giggled and nodded. I grabbed a little bag to pack some stuff in, you know the necessities, I'm not saying them - I don't think I need to. I turned to Luna, gave her one last hug before I held up the key.

"Forbidden Key, heed my call. Bring me forth to the Gate of Time and Space!" I demanded and then was engulfed in a pink light. Next thing I knew, I was in front of the gate and the Guardian Cosmos. "I, Princess Antheia, seek passage to the planet known as Auldrant." She smiled shyly and nodded. She tapped the doors and they opened. I saw a town full of life and happiness.

"Forewarning Princess, as you pass through this gate unto the world's surface, you shall receive all the information you will need to succeed in your mission." She warned. I bowed a thank you, and walked through. Talk about information over-load, I had Auldrant's history hit me all at once. This woman named Yulia foretold the future and wrote them on stones, referred to as Seventh Fonstones here. I saw wars and meaningless battles because of the readings. I saw a more recent vision about a man known as Van, commandant of the Six-God generals, plotting to destroy this planet and all the inhabitants, just to break people away from Yulia's fortunes. As my feet hit the snow-covered ground, my knees buckled and I fell to the ground unconscious.
