Notes:

**** 14 ****

It was a beautiful day in Rosarina of the little kingdom of Rosaria. Sarah, Hector, Serenity,
Luna and Athena went to Pierre's for lunch. Pierre knew what each person liked and he had
a good memory. For Athena, Pierre gave Athena some mice and she flew off to eat the mice
away from the others. Luna he gave a saucer of milk and a small can of tuna. For Serenity,
he gave Serenity's usual that she had last time she was there. Then out of nowhere came
a white knight. His armor glistened in the sunlight. Serenity wondered who this knight was.
Serenity felt this knight wasn't part of Zolton's forces. The knight spoke to Serenity.

"I am called 'The White Knight!' Serenity, do you have the 'endurance' to face my attacks
without transforming or using your powers at all?"

The White Knight asked her. Serenity studied him over real good and she answered him.

"I do. I will take your challenge!"

Serenity spoke with determination.

"Serenity, be careful!"

Sarah spoke with great concern for Serenity.

"Don't worry. I will be alright."

Serenity answered her sister back.

"Very well. Please set aside your brooch and your ring and we can get started."

The White Knight instructed her. Usagi handed her brooch and ring to Sarah.
The White Knight and Serenity walked to an empty parking lot nearby and
the White Knight sent a huge ball of energy at Serenity and she jumped out
of the way before it hit her.

"Good job. You got good timing."

The White Knight congratulated her. Serenity didn't say anything. Then the White Knight
hurled several balls of energy and Serenity again dodged each one without fail. The
White Knight thought what he could hurl at Serenity and Serenity waited for his
next move. Then the White Knight sent a massive flash of light and Serenity covered
her eyes before the massive light hit her and when she opened her eyes, the White Knight
was surprised that she protected herself from his sudden flashes of light.

"Very very good. I am impressed. However, what I have to give thee... you must prove worthy
of it!"

The White Knight explained to her and Serenity knew this was some sort of test. The White
Knight sent a volley of small balls of light and Serenity easily dodged each one. The White Knight
had hope that this princess would be able to carry out her mission in the future. The White Knight
spoke once more.

"Congratulations! You passed my test."

The White Knight announced to Serenity.

"A test? Me passed it?"

Serenity asked him with curiosity.

"Yes, you passed! Here! Take this! It's a new Teleport Gem!"

The White Knight told her as he gave her the gem. It was dark in color and it had a sun symbol
on it. He spoke again.

"Like the other Teleport Gems you have. Each of those were born in your trial in the moon cavern.
This new gem will be born sometime in the near future. Keep it with you at all times. It will help you
in the near future!"

The White Knight told her and he vanished. Sarah walked up to Serenity and she spoke.

"Sis, you have a new Teleport Gem? That's great! I wonder what power it holds?"

Sarah asked Serenity.

"It has a sun symbol on it but, it's power I have no idea what it holds."

Serenity answered her younger sister. Sarah and Serenity returned to Pierre's. The rest of the
day went well for Sarah, Serenity and the rest of the party. However, the trial the White Knight
spoke of was for another day.
