I swallowed uneasily, and stepped back a pace. I did want
to start over again, but did Saturn have to be so...blunt? Saturn relented a moment,
but her dark eyes were still serious.
"Before I start the cycle of life again, there is something I must tell you.
You and Endymion, and the rest of the residents of the alliance planets will be
born on the Earth. There will be no life on the Moon. The Moon Kingdom will
forever be dead."
I gasped at this, and turned my face into Endymion's chest to
hide the tears.
Saturn went on, though, heedless of any reactions that she was
invoking among her audience.
"You and Endymion will be born near eachother, but will not meet up
until a terrible calamity befalls you. Once you have eachother in your arms,
though, you will lose eachother again. Thus, the cycle will go on, until the
formation of the new Silver Millennium, of a new century on Earth. To pay for
your crimes, you will fight the horrors of the past yourself, each coming
face to face with your worst nightmares. Your love will be tested time and time
again, until the peace falls all over the Earth, and you rise in power."
I bowed my head. The face that I got to be with Endymion
at all was good enough for me. I would fight these evils, and I would
overcome any obstacle that fate had to toss at us if it just meant that I
could be with Endymion at the end.
"And...my mother...my...friends?" I asked, with a strangled croak,
and Saturn shook her head. "You will not see your mother alive again. As for
your friends, they will come to you in time, one by one until they are fighting
by your side for the same cause. To bring the old peace of the Silver Millennium
to the Earth."
Now she turned to Endymion. "Your friends...you will see a change,
although when you meet up with them, you will not know them until the
tragedy is past and it is too late to change it. I am sorry, but that is the way
the cycle will go. There is nothing I can do to change it. I can only say you will
not know what is happening, and your will to fight and survive will come from
inside yourself, and your devotion to the ones that you love."
I nodded, and faced Saturn again. "Then let us end the cycle.
Let us begin anew on the Earth, let us have a second chance at life, and to be
together. I ask this, though..how will we know when to be reborn?"
Saturn smiled. "You two will be protected by your respective guardians.
Endymion...you will be protected by the Golden Crystal, and Serenity, by the
Silver Crystal, the ginzuishou. Your souls will remain intact, and your memories
guarded until the power of the first stone awakens."
Endymion stared quietly at the ground as Saturn revealed all of
this to them. He was still torn up inside. He felt the Earth dying, as Serenity
felt the Moon die. All the life...he cried inside. All his people had died as well.
What if Serenity had never come down to the Earth? What if she had never
met him, and they met at some point other in life, in a new one as they were
now? He shook his head. He couldn't predict fate. He just knew that he did
not want to live without his Serenity, and could not imagine not meeting her.
He couldn't imagine living his empty life, while she lived hers, both halves of
one soul forever seperated. This was fate.
He stepped foward, and bowed to Saturn. Such a tiny child...with
such power... "I am ready as well, Lady Saturn. Do what you will. I am eager to
go back to the Earth, and begin my connection again. It pains me too much to
feel my planet dying."
Saturn nodded her head. "Each protector of the planet felt the moment
when their planet died, and that was when they knew that their fight was almost
over. The only thing that kept us going was that there was a light of hope, a light
that would forever flicker, but never go out. That was me. They knew that if they
kept fighting long enough to keep me alive, then I could give them the ultimate
peace that they deserved."
She smild and hugged her me one last time, and I saw the sorrow in
her eyes.There was a destiny in store for her as well, I knew, but she did not
reveal it to us. I only hope that she would be strong enough to overcome her
own destiny, and that if she came across my path, I would be able to help her
back to her true path.
"Silence Glaive!" Were the last words I heard before I saw Saturn
bring down the Glaive in her hands and put it on the soil of her planet. It spead
over the surface of the planet, and I knew it would spread further after I had
fallen. I fell into the arms of Endymion, and then I knew no more.
Elios sighed. His Prince was truly gone now, into a time far past
his. He would wait for him to appear again. He too, knew the destiny of the
stars, and what challenges that they would face in the future together. He
waited for the day when he and his Prince would meet face to face again.
He smiled as he thought of Serenity.
'She was the real light of hope, and she will continue to be so. Arigato,
Princess, for visiting me here, and showing Elysion your joyous light."
Feedback?! Onegai??!! I know it was a bit short, but did you all like it? ^__^
