Chapter Four

I knew that I would be crying already when I woke up. I didn't even wait for
Endymion's reaction. But to my surprise, I felt an incredible surge of pain and longing
sweep through me, and it wasn't my own. I fell to my knees weeping bitterly for what we
both wanted, and couldn't have.
Life in the palace after that was truly miserable. I tried to put all of my
focus into my studies, but with knowing how close Endymion's feelings lay close to mine, it
was next to impossible. I wondered if he felt the same effects I did from our connection.
There was no way to deny now that some string of destiny tied us together.
I knew that it would only tear me apart more if I visited him in my dreams. Not
being able to touch him, to only be a shadow. But shadows could touch, couldn't they? We
were able to see and feel eachother when we were both dreaming. I wondered if we could
do that again.
I tried to get to sleep. It wasn't very hard. I had worked myself to near
exhaustion. Someone who was fifteen shouldn't go through so much. I sighed. I had so much
though. I just needed him. I would give up all that I had for him.
As soon as I landed outside the gates of Elysion, I reached out with all my heart
to Endymion. Hoping that, he too, would be wandering Elysion as a dreamer. I needed to be
with him. I ran past Elios. I ran where my heart was telling me to go. I saw Endymion up
ahead, and I ran toward him. but then felt a hand grab me back.
"Just where do you think you're going, Princess?"
I stopped, stunned, and turned around to face Elios, who looked almost sorrowful.
"I guess it's too late to stop you. Somehow, you made it through the barrier
that was on Endymion's dream. Your power is great, Princess. I wish you luck." Elios
pulled me into a gentle hug. I could see the tears on his face when he pulled away, and
they seemed to be for me. I wondered what secrets he could be hiding.
He let me go to see Enymion, though. I ran toward him, and we stopped just short
of eachohter. His hands reached up to touch my face gently, and I couldn't control the
few tears of joy that escaped.
"Serenity...I never thought. It seems so unreal." He choked out. I nodded, my
hands reaching up to cover his own. He then smiled gently at me.
"When you left me that last time, I thought my heart would stop beating in my
chest. I hardly knew you, but I was so frightened when you just vanished from my sight.
I feared that I had lost you."
I smiled through my tears. "I was scared of what you would say, even though I
saw the answer in your eyes before I spoke."
Endymion leaned down at that poiint, his lips nearing mine, coming closer and
closer. I closed my eyes, anticipating a sweet kiss from him. I felt something outside
of my body tugging though, and I wondered what it could be. I pulled away from
Endymion for a moment, just in time to see Elios visibly struggling to keep me in
Elysion. All was in vain though, as I felt myself slipping away from Endymion's hold. I
traced my fingers along Endymion's jawline before being torn away.
I stared around my bedroom, for once unhappy to see the white and silver
decorations. I wanted to sink into my pillows and bury myself in my blankets and go
back to sleep, back to Elysion, and back to Endymion. It was not to be so. My friends,
my senshi, surronded me, and they had looks of determination on their faces. I knew
that they saw they way I was ignoring everything but my bed and studies. I was their
intended target for cheering up. I groaned inwardly. Why couldn't they have left me
to my dreams?
I didn't escape from them the whole day. All I wanted to do was go to sleep.
To be with Endymion, to be away from here. My mother, too, kept me occupied, during the
nightime hours alot of the time. I was always falling asleep at the wrong hours, the
wrong time to be with Endymion. When I did fall asleep, I was too exhausted to fight
the new barriers that Elios had put up. I wandered around in circles in my sleep. This
wasn't helping me at all.
It was one of those days again, when I managed to slip away to grab a piece of
my own time, instead of being dragged everywhere by the senshi. They had their training
that day, and my mother had diplomats visiting. I was free for a few hours at the least,
several days at the most.
I was wishing to be with Endymion at that time, to be there where I didn't have
to worry about barriers or family waking me up. I felt a jolt of emotion and power run
through me, and I knew it was Endymion's. Our connection was wide open at that time, and
I felt and heard everything Endymion was involved with on Earth.
"Elios, I know that we can do it! I know that Serenity has power of her own,
and that we can tie the power of the Golden Crystal into her to bring her here! Please,
Elios! I have to be with her."
I was shocked. To be brought to Earth? I listened to what Elios had to say.
"Prince, I warn you now...it can prove to be fatal. It will take a large
amount of power to do so. I will allow you to do this, though."
I was waiting for Endymion to reply to that when an enormous amount of pure
golden energy flew through me, and I left, for the first time, my home on the Moon,
and into the arms of Endymion.
That is it for chapter four! I hope that you enjoy, and feedback is always welcome.
