Chibiusa woke up in a room that was not her own. Holding her head slightly she examined the room.

Where am I?

The room was large in size with white walls, and two large windows with sliver drapery. The bed she was laying on was made of marble and had blankets that were made from a material that felt like one was sleeping on a cloud.

Chibiusa held her head as she considered the events before waking up.

Last I remember was standing over the fountain…

Suddenly she remembered what had occurred at the fountain. The princess continued to ponder,

Elyison… I must be here.

Chibiusa slowly motioned herself out of the bed and walked toward the exit. She stopped to notice that her clothing was changed. She was dressed in her royal clothing which encompassed a white dress, pearl earrings and bracelet.

Finding herself outside of the home, she walked along a pathway even though she wasn't sure where it headed. It almost felt like her body was moving on its own toward its destination. As she continued she absorbed her surroundings. It was beautiful. Trees that were full of life, flowers of all kinds and colors. It was probably around dinner hour as the sun was beginning to set as well.

Suddenly she stopped. Straight ahead of her was the moon, it looked beautiful yet distant. Before her was a man sitting under a tree in the direction of the moon. She couldn't see his face but it confirmed that to her that he was the figure she was seeking all along.

Unsure of what to do she just stood for a moment. In a few short moments her thoughts were interrupted by the figure.

"Maiden, you've awaken."

Helios stood up and turned to face the young adult. The silence was thickening between the two. Chibiusa was struck by the man standing before her. He was tall, probably as tall as her father. With a medium build, he was dressed in black uniform- black pants and a fitted black shirt that shaped his figure underneath. As she remembered him, his hair was sliver-white… But this time it was shaped with a low cut in the back and part in the front, while sustaining a bit a thickness to it.

He broke the silence by asking a question.

In a calm tone he asked,

"What brings you here Maiden?"

Taken back by the direct question, Chibiusa initially didn't know how to answer him. She expected a different response from him after all these years. Breaking the eye contact, Chibiusa looked toward the ground before answering him.

"Helios… I'm here to see you."

Helios kept the gaze on her and slowly motioned toward the Princess.

"To see…me…?" He asked. She looked up toward the ground and nodded slowly in response as he approached, and now stood right in before her. The whole time he proceeded he didn't break eye contact. Even now as he was looking down upon her his expression was emotionless and very hard to read. It made Chibiusa feel like the her recent arrival was a bother or a nuisance.

For a moment they just stood still. Examining one another up close.

Maybe I should have stayed home…! Was Mama and Papa right…? I'm I destined for-

Then suddenly, yet very gently he took her hand and just, looked at it. Still emotionless, very hard to read. Then in a very quick yet elegant motion, Chibiusa found herself wrapped within his arms. His head buried within her neck, she was stunned. Then she slowly raised her arms to complete the full embrace.

His warm breath against her skin was making the hairs on her back stand.

"Chibiusa…"
