I stared at him. This calm young man brought me here? I did not
know of anybody that could control the power of direction of dreams. I was
frightened for this reason.
"I am Elios, Princess, Guardian of Elysion and the Land of Dreams.
I brought you here because it was time for you to see the planet that you protect.
To learn about the man whose destiny intertwines with your own."
I could only stare and back away. I was not yet prepared for this
destiny Elios spoke of.
"Please, let me wake up." I pleaded. Elios nodded, understanding in his
eyes. "I will do this, Princess. I know that you will come here again, though. In your
own time, you will find your way back to this Earth."
I woke up with a start, but the message Elios gave me followed me back
to the waking world. Would I forge my own path to Earth? It was impossible for a
Moon Princess to truly leave her home and descend to the Earth in the waking world.
That was what my dreams were for. I could, though, try to learn all that I could about
the Earth Prince by visiting the monitors, and immersing myself in each lesson my
mother gave to me.
It was easy getting the basic information out of the lessons, but getting
away to spy on him proved to be a much for difficult task. That was when I decided
to try and visit the Earth again in my sleep, only my spirit wandering the waking
world of Earth. I needed to see Endymion again.
I was met by Elios again when I first touched the ground. This time, I
expected his presence. It was only logical that the Guardian of Dreams would
be there to greet me.
"Princess....I am glad to see that you came back." Elios' smile was
genuine. "You bring a warm light with you when you come here. I can feel it."
I smiled back at Elios. "May I see Prince Endymion, please?" I asked. I was
not certain why I was so determined to see him. To willingly send my spirit into
unknown territory to see a man that I had only heard and had two glimpses of.
"You may, Princess, but if Endymion is awake, you will only be able
to view him, unless you were fully here in body as well as spirit. The only other
way is if his spirit crosses yours in the dreaming world."
My heart stilled. To actually be here, in the waking world? To truly have
my feet on this ground, and feel the sunlight on my face? It seemed an impossible
feat.
Elios held out his hand to me. "I will guide you deeper into Elysion. To
where Endymion is now, where he lives to protect his people, the men and women
of Earth. He protects it there, he and his family, as you and your mother protect
the Earth from the outside."
I had no choice but to follow Elios. If it meant leading me to Endymion,
then I would gladly follow anywhere.
When I first had my glimpse of Elysion, I was truly in a world of beauty. The
life here was so fresh and alive. The birdsong was overhead, and for once I felt
free, unfettered by any duties that were waiting for me at home. The only thing that
mattered here was getting a glimpse of my beloved prince, even if now was not the
time for us to truly meet.
Elios led me to a palace that seemed to be in the center of Elysion. The
Golden Kingdom it was called by those above, and I could see why. I felt the
serenity that this land emanated, and I was caught up in it.
"Here is where Endymion and his guards reside, Princess. Kunzite,
Nephrite, Zoisite, and Jedite live close to their prince so that no harm may befall
him. His parents live in a different section of the palace."
I wondered at Elios' tone for that remark, but I put it in the back of my
mind to ponder over later. Perhaps it could be a question I could ask my mother
in one of our weekly lessons.
I walked silently through the palace, aware that many people were
sleeping here. Would my prince be sleeping as well? My heartbeat quickened. Elios
said that I might get a chance to speak to him if our paths crossed on the dreaming
plane. Elios saw the hopeful look on my face, and gestured towards a small room.
"Wait in there, Princess."
I wondered what exactly I was waiting for, or for how long. My mind was
so confused at this point. If I had told any of the senshi or my mother that I had
been secretly visiting the planet Earth, just to see its prince, and waiting to talk
to him in a room that resided in the land of dreams...and brought here by the
Guardian of Dreams himself....I'm not sure what their reaction would have been,
but I am sure it wouldn't have been good. It was too late, now. By coming here again,
I believe that I was well into my destiny.
I didn't have to wait for very long as I found out. The door opened slowly,
and I heard Elios talking to someone before they entered the room. I hoped that it
was Endymion...*my* Endymion. Was he brought here sleeping or awake? Did
Elios have the power to let a person who was awake see a person who was just
a spirit of a sleeping one?
"In here, my prince. I want you to meet someone very special."
"Elios...you know I can't talk to anyone! I thought it was against
your rules to go into someone's dreams."
Elios laughed. "You know how I am, Prince. This is a different circumstance,
though." The door opened completely at that point, and for the first time, Endymion
and I were face to face.
