Thanks so much to the new followers and favorites! I tried to get the second half out fast because I was excited about it! Hope you enjoy!


I looked around the room I was in, it looked familiar but I couldn't quite place it. I sat up and realized I was in my mother's bedroom. Why was I here? The last thing I remember is Endymion's face after I was stabbed. Did they bring me here? I looked down and noticed that there wasn't any blood, or a wound for that matter. What was going on?

"Ah, Serenity." My mother spoke before walking towards me. She looked sad for some reason. Shouldn't she be happy? She was alive! I was alive! Everything must have been an elaborate dream, that was the only explanation. She sat down next to me on her bed and put her arm around my shoulders. "I hate to see you here like this."

"What do you mean? We're both perfectly fine! Why wouldn't you want to see me here? Did I do something wrong?" She shook her head and gave me a sad smile.

"My dear, we are not fine. You were stabbed and I am dead."

"But my wound is gone! There is no blood! And you, you do not look dead."

"Serenity, you are in the limbo between here and the afterlife. I have come for you. You do not have to die if you don't want to." I stared at her in disbelief. None of this was making any sense. How could I be stabbed and not die? How could I have a choice in the matter of life or death and she didn't? "Serenity, the Silver Crystal gives you powers of healing. Your wound is fatal to normal mortals, but for those of the Moon Kingdom that can use the Silver Crystal, we can heal wounds. You can also heal souls. Like the soul of those who have done this to us. Kunzite was brainwashed by someone evil. I am not sure who, but this is a strong enemy. He did not kill you out of hate, he was not the one pulling the strings."

"You've been watching me?" I blushed in realization that she knew of my relations with Endymion. She must be so ashamed. As if knowing my thoughts she put a hand on my cheek and smile.

"Endymion is a very nice young man, he seems that he will be a good match for you. I only wish I had let my own biases go before so that you could have been happier sooner. But Serenity, you have to choose whether or not you would like to live. It's not too late if you choose to go back. As much as I would love for you to be here with me, I think you should be alive." I nodded and hugged her. I felt a tear roll down my cheek and wished that it didn't have to be this way. However, I had to take her place as Queen and I had to save our kingdom from whatever evil was behind this.

"I choose to go back." She pulled away and looked at me with pride.

"You will make an amazing queen." She kissed my cheek and disappeared. I closed my eyes and channeled all my energy on healing myself and returning. However, I heard a noise behind me. I turned to see Kunzite on the floor screaming. I ran towards him and bent down and noticed his wound. I wonder why his was still there and mine hadn't been. I tried to put my hand on him and realized that I was seeing an illusion. I realized that my mother was trying to tell me to get back and save Kunzite. I closed my eyes once more and suddenly I awoke in the arms of Endymion. I looked down and noticed my wound healing. I could hear Endymion crying and I looked over to see Kunzite slowly dying with Endymion's sword lying bloodily next to him.

I jumped up from Endymion's arms and ran towards him. As I gathered him in my arms I could hear Endymion and my Senshi gasp. "I have to save him! Get over here and help me please!" I could see the look of confusion on everyone's faces, but the Senshi still came to my side.

"After what he did to you, you want to save him?!" I heard Endymion shout. "He tried to kill you!"

"He was possessed Endymion. I never wanted to kill him!" I looked down and felt heat coming from my hands onto Kunzite and realized that it must have been the power of the Silver Crystal. I prayed incantations that would heal his soul as well as his body. I watched as his body started to heal and commanded the Senshi to carry him inside. "I don't like to let someone die, especially if I can save him. Plus, we aren't sure what we can learn from him now that his soul has been healed." I walked to Endymion and wrapped my arms around his waist. I smiled as I felt him lay his head ontop of mine.

"I thought I had lost you Serenity. I am sorry for killing him but you have to understand, I thought you were dead, I was avenging you." I smiled up at him and nodded in understanding, I was going to do the same to whoever had killed my mother. "How did you come back and heal him?"

"I was in limbo and my mother was there. She told me that those of the Moon Kingdom have the ability to heal the souls and bodies of themselves and others using the Silver Crystal. And before I came back she showed me Kunzite and I knew I needed to save him. She also thinks very highly of you." He smiled and pulled me closer towards him. I felt safer than I had all day just being this close to him.

"Princess, we have him laying down in the study," Jupiter told me.

"Thank you, Jupiter. Are the others inside? I was hoping to speak to them about the next step in my plan." She nodded and I smiled in thanks as she walked back inside. "I suppose we should go inside and talk to them."

"Yes, I suppose so. But, first I would like to ask you something."

"Alright, what would you like to ask?" He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"When all of this is over, I was wondering if you would become my bride." I blushed and covered my mouth with my hand.

"I would be honored." Endymion leaned down and kissed me. Then he slowly stood back up and took my hand.

"Let's go figure out our next step." I nodded and followed him inside to his study where the Senshi were.


"Did you learn anything Nephrite?"

"Yes, it seems that not only has the Princess come back from the dead but she also revived Kunzite. She seems to have also healed his soul, even after him stabbing her."

"Well, then I suppose we'll leave him. Ugh, that girl is as infuriating as her mother! But that's fine, soon she and everyone else will know who the true Queen is! You are dismissed Nephrite."

"As you wish." Kunzite was so easy to brainwash due to his latent hatred for Endymion, and he was a good warrior too. Nephrite isn't good for much, but soon I'll have him wrangle up the rest of Endymion's Shitennou for brainwashing.


I had one of Endymion's Shitennou, Jadeite, and Princess Mars take Kunzite to his room so that he could be more comfortable. When Mars made her way back downstairs and sat on the couch in the study I stood to speak to them all.

"We are going to have to go back to the Moon Kingdom. Whoever killed my mother was there and we need to see the state of everyone and everything else there. However, someone needs to stay here and keep an eye on Kunzite. I was thinking that Mercury could do this. You're more knowledgeable about healing people than any of us. Also, whoever brainwashed Kunzite may come back and I trust that you will be able to keep things under control until we can make it back. Are you comfortable with this?" Princess Mercury nodded and I turned to the others. "When we get back to the Moon Kingdom, I cannot promise what will happen or what we will see. I need to find my mother's advisers Luna and Artemis to see what they know and how they can help. We will leave as soon as possible. Are we clear?" The Senshi nodded as did Endymion.

He had been standing steadily by my side the entire time and was willing to go with us and help anyway he possibly could. At first I had tried to make him stay here and protect Elysion. But, he insured me that if any trouble here arouse his Shitennou would be able to take care of it until we got back. I took a deep breath then started walking towards the door of the study. "Well, let's go then."
