Here's the next chapter. Don't wanna spoil it by saying too much, so I'm gonna shut up now. Just remember, I LOVE reviews!!!
DISCLAIMER: I wonder what people would think when I break down in the middle of a store and just yelled, "I own Sailor Moon!!" Probably arrest me and put me in an asylum!

The Rescue
"Meow," a cat purred from a distance, and a crash could be heard coming from inside the small cottage, deep in the forest, away from civilization.
"Oh, no. Just what I needed," a voice called out. A small form came limping out to stand at the opening of a doorway. She tried to cross her arms around her chest, but the unequal length of her arms made the gesture quite difficult. She looked for the cat through her blood-shot eyes, but all she managed to see were trees, trees, and more trees.
Suddenly, Luna, a sleek black female cat, came bouncing into view. Caught between her mouth was a piece of cloth, apparently torn from some clothing. The form bent forward to take the cloth into her hand when she noticed bloodstains on the fur around the cat's mouth.
"What have we here, Luna? It's got blood!" The form reached out to pet the cat, and the cat never withdrew away. In fact, she had looked forward to the touch. "Where did you get this?" the form named Serenity asked.
"Meow." The cat turned in the direction from where she came, and off she ran.
"Silly Willy. Oh, Silly Willy." Serenity crooned to the dragon that was lazily basking in the sun, taking a nap in the late afternoon. "Come on, Luna has something for us to tend to. You know very well I couldn't possibly keep up in this shape!"
The dragon opened one of its red eyes and looked at Serenity before slowly closing it again. "Rei, you lazy bun, come on." Serenity was practically pulling at the dragon's tail.
This time, the voice contained a command the dragon couldn't ignore. The dragon gave a loud yawn before getting up onto her feet, irritated that her nap was interrupted. Her structure was built very much like an Arabian horse, except for the matter that she can shoot out fire with her mouth, and has paws with claws as hooves, scaly skin instead of fur, and wings that made it possible for her to fly. The long tail came with a triangular shape at the tip, which was rumored to be poisonous, but at the same time, very helpful as a medicine. It just depended on how it was being used.
The ray of the sun reflected off the scales and gave it a shiny glossy look. She was a beautiful creature, and she knew it. She was in complete contrast to the owner that one wondered how they came by each other. The dragon stretched out her wings before folding them back again to prepare herself for her owner's weight. Serenity got onto her back, and before long, they took off.
It was a rather bumpy ride, unlike what many people imagined a horse-ride should be. With every ups and downs, Serenity would mirrored the move, but in the opposite direction. Luna led them all to a nearby stream, and by the bank, there laid a man. When Serenity saw him, she let out a loud gasp. The man's tunic was covered with blood, and an arrow was protruding from his thigh. There was a little color distortion around the wound that suggested infection, but nothing that she could not heal. She could see that the man had lost all consciousness and touched his brow to see if he had developed a fever. The brow felt cool to her touch, but she knew it would heat up soon. Serenity had somehow heaved the big body up onto the dragon's back, and this time, they flew back instead.
* * * *
When they arrived back at Serenity's small cottage, Serenity was greeted by a group of animals. It looked like Serenity wasn't the only one interested in the stranger. Above her head, a large eagle was busily flapping her wings, trying to get a good look at the limp form. However, this was no ordinary eagle. With each flaps of her wing, it seemed to be giving off some sort of electrical shocks. On the nearby table, a monkey with blue fur sat clapping her hands. In the back of what looked to be the kitchen, a tank was placed on the floor. Inside the tank, an enormous golden fish with a red bow around her body was swimming in a fast circle, and once in a while, it would leap out of the water.
The dragon that helped brought the man to the cottage was still standing outside, making fiery demands to be let in. The noises they made together was overwhelming that finally, Serenity shouted, "Settle down, you guys!"
Once it was semi quiet, Serenity arranged a clean area on the bed so she would have somewhere to put the body. When everything was all set, she went about the cottage to prepare the man some medicines.
"A little of this, and a little of that," she murmured as she sprinkled unfamiliar powders into a boiling pot. "That should be enough."
Serenity looked to where Luna was resting by the unlit fireplace and walked to the man. She raised his head high enough to give him the potion from the pot and made sure he had swallowed at least half of the bowl before she went to look at the wound. To save time, she cut opened his pants to make easy access for the wound.
"Oh, this doesn't look pretty," she commented. Serenity carefully smeared on a special cream made from goat's blood thickened with age. "Well, all we can do now is wait," she said to the others before leaving the man in peace.

This looks like a good place to leave you guys wondering. =) You guys are probably wondering what's up with the dragon? One, it was the only thing I could think of at the moment that breath fire, and two, you'll have to stay tune to find out. =) All I can keep on telling you is to take a moment and let me know how I'm doing, good or bad, and whether or not you like it.
