Setsuna sighed. "It's hard to explain." she said sadly. Setsuna closed her eyes and remembered. She gazed up at her mother's sad face. "Mama? Why are you so sad?" she asked. Her mother sighed. "I don't expect you to understand because you're only 8 years old... but my time as Guardian of Time and Space is coming to an end. Soon I must forever return to Pluto." her mother said. "Why?" asked the 8-year-old Setsuna. "Because of the curse." said her mother. "Curse?" asked Setsuna. "There were three guardians of Time once. Each sister could see part of the time stream. One could see the past. One could see what would come to pass and the last could see the future. For a long, long time there was peace but then the sister who could see the past wanted to control everything. The struggle was long and bitter but in the end that sister was sealed away but before the seal took effect that sister cast a curse that after a thousand years each guardian of Time must give up her power or go insane... So I must give up my power or I will lose my sanity then you must take my place." said her mother. "Oh." said Setsuna. "I'm sorry. I don't want you to worry about me." said her mother. Setsuna opened her eyes. "I've been Guardian of Time and Space for nearly a thousand years. I'll have to give up the power or I'll go insane. All because of a stupid curse." said Setsuna. "Why didn't you tell us this sooner?" asked Michiru. "I...I was afraid." said Setsuna. "Sets, we'll always be there for you." said Haruka. "Yeah. We'll find a way to make it so you don't have to give your power." said Hotaru. "Thanks, you're the greatest friends I could ever have." said Setsuna.

Okay. I have a slight problem. I've decided to give Setsuna's husband a name but I can't think of one. Suggestions are welcome!
