Memories of Time
Rei was in her temple, gazing into the fire before her. It was dusk and all that could be heard was the crackling of the fire and the chirping of the animals outside.
"Sacred fire, I feel that something is going to happen to someone around me. Please, tell me who it is and what will happen to them," she said.
She concentrated as the fire burned brighter and higher before her when suddenly three figures appeared before her. Her eyes grew large as she looked upon the images appearing in the flames.
"There are two women and one man with a connection to the past. One relationship might be destroyed as the other just might become even stronger than before when something comes out between them! Who are these people?" she asked as she stood up in total surprise. "What will happen to them?"
The flames burned brightly before her, growing even higher towards the ceiling.
"Please tell me!" she demanded.
She couldn't move, unable to shake the images from her mind. The three faceless people, two women and one man with secrets between them were etched into her mind. She knew that once the secrets were revealed, nothing would be the same for the group of Senshi.
Rei slammed her hands against her head, unable to place any faces to the people she saw despite the feelings that she knew them.
"No!" she screamed. "I won't believe it!"

Mamaru slept restlessly in his bed. He moved from side to side, unable to rid himself of the dreams now invading his mind.
"No, go away," he cried in his sleep.
But the dream persisted on within his head, giving him visions drastically different from all his previous ones.
"You need to reclaim a part of your past Prince Endymion. It is something that everyone around you has long forgotten and you know there's the lingering question still in your heart. It cannot be answered unless you take this chance. She has also felt this and is also wondering but no one has been around to give the answer until now," a female voice told him.
Mamaru found himself completely surrounded by trees and they were darkened from afar. He frantically searched the area to see where the voice was coming from.
"How do I know you're for real? You're just in my mind! I've had dreams like this before!" he cried in his dream.
He soon found he was wearing the same clothes as he was during his time in the Silver Millennium as he tried to turn in the direction of the voice. He soon noticed movement in the nearby trees and he turned to see if he could get a look at the woman.
"Then you should know what to expect! You may have remembered your life from the Silver Millennium although you haven't recalled everything! You have to know about this part of your life or else it can be destroyed along with all hope of finding serenity with others around you," she told him. "Believe me when I say that you must know the truth one way or the other."
"Wait, come back! What or who are you talking about?" he cried, on his knees and reaching out for it. "I need to know!"
"You will find the answers you're looking for soon enough. There will be sign tomorrow which you will know when you see it. Don't miss it for it may be your only chance to find out the truth," the voice replied, slowly fading away.
Mamaru awoke in a cold sweat. He took a few deep breaths before climbing out of bed. He walked over to the balcony and looked at the full moon.
"I thought these dreams were over with a long time ago. What does she mean that I have to remember? Don't I know all that I need to know about my past and future? What else is there to know? This is all so confusing," he sighed. "All I have to do now is find that sign but where to start?"
He lowered his head as he sighed. He tried to stifle a yawn but it came out anyway.
"What direction is my life headed for now?" he asked.

Tylaxin silently sat in her bed, unable to sleep. She found something was nagging her at the back of her mind but she couldn't place what it was. She barely heard the knock at the door and was soon surprised to see her mother at her side.
"My dear Tylaxin, what is the matter? For the past several days, you've seemed very melancholy. Has it got something to do with the other Senshi? Considering what happened recently, I'm surprised it hasn't bothered you before now," wondered Jelliscan.
Tylaxin shrugged her shoulders, not knowing what else to say in response. Jelliscan narrowed her eyes as she stared at Tylaxin.
"I guess so. I remember now how I got my powers in the first place a millennium ago. What I don't know is why I don't have any powers from Neptune. I can't seem to remember anything about it despite everything Pluto has told me so recently. I've become more depressed about the subject," Tylaxin reluctantly confessed.
Jelliscan lowered her head, a bit unsure how to answer the newfound curiousity
"Listen, I don't remember everything either. All I remember was that I lived back then and that I had you, even though you were a force to be reckoned with. I think we will remember soon enough. Now try and get some sleep," Jelliscan told her.
Tylaxin nodded before climbing into bed. She laid there with her eyes open for the longest time, wondering if her questions would ever be answered

Setsuna was startled by something for she quickly moved her head from side to side. A bright light began to pulsate on her Garter Rod. She curiously stared at it as she picked it up.
"What's this all about? It's never done anything like this before," she said.
Setsuna looked intently at the rod before she lowered it down to her side. She closed her eyes as the images began to flood her mind.
"Could it possibly be now? Will one of the most powerful Sailors find out the truth?" she gasped. "It could happen at any time though I fear it might be the end of something important."
She held tightly onto her rod as the slowly lights died down.
