*****Elios's Fate*****
The king was angry but he understood why the young preist had done what he
did to his daughter's heart. He knew how hard it was to admit that it was
all right to love the woman of your dreams. That by loving her and standing
by her she would be protected and happy. He had gone through the same with
his Usako.
So the man did the one thing he could think of. He hugged the boy before him
and made a decision. "You will no longer be the preist of Elysion. I will
appoint a new preist and you shall go on a mission."
Elios froze at this. His worst fears were coming true! He was losing his role
in life. He knew there was nothing he could do about it so he listened to
the king, hoping for a chance to redeem himself.
"Do not fear. This is not a punishment. You shall go as a normal young man.
I will see to it that you have what you need and you will be on your own from
there. I expect you to bring my daughter back to me."
This mission was given to him without choice but he would gladly give all he
had to go and find her. He would search for her and when he found her his
maiden would be safe once again. "Yes, your majesty."
At that he bowed greatly before his king. Endymion focused on his power and
a shimmering translucent glitter enveloped the priest. He appeared the same
with exception to one item, the jewel that was embedded in his forhead was no
longer there.
"Come to the palace and ask to be taken to the rose garden. I will meet you
there. You will be expected in five days or I will assume your love for my
daughter is untrue and begin the search myself."
With that the boy was ejected from the king's dream.

"Ikuko! Get back here you little sneak!" A small girl with curly brown hair
squealed as she ran after the taller young woman. "That's mine!"
"Do you mean this cookie?" Small Lady, now known to all in the tavern as
Ikuko, held out a handful of crumbs to the girl. The pink haired girl giggled
and fell to the floor with mirth. She hadn't had this much fun since she
tortured her young mother in the past!
The little girl, who appeared to be ten, stood above Ikuko with her arms
crossed. Her small foot was tapping on the floor as she duplicated her
mother's 'angry look' as best as she could.
"Oh Tanya don't take it so personally! I'm sorry I ate your cookie but it was
the last one and I was SO hungry! You already had two and I hadn't ate at all
today. If I didn't eat that cookie I was going to wither away into nothing!"
Ikuko continued wailing and moaning not knowing how much she was turning
into her mother.
The large woman from the dress shop came in through the front entrance of the
small house built along the side of the taven carrying a basket full of food.
"Ikuko did you wash those clothes like I asked you to while I was gone to the
market?" She was Hilda, the woman who owned the dress shop. Her husband
Barton owned the tavern and they had both agreed to allow Ikuko to stay and
school their daughter.
Ikuko glanced up from the floor and went pale. "Umm.. I don't remember?" Her
voice was laced with embarassment. Tanya laughed at her predicament and felt
she was even now.
Until her mother asked her if she had gone out and got the logs for the
fireplace. Tanya squirmed under her mother's glare and the portly woman
laughed at both the girls and shooed them out the door to do their chores.
"You girls best be done before Barton is home or he'll have your hides!" With
that she closed the door and went to begin cooking the evening meal.

Serenity padded down the halls slowly, never looking up at another or
smiling, just walking endlessly through her home. Everyone worried for her
greatly. The palace itself seemed to be dark and dreary. It was as if the
queen's home was sharing in her sorrow.
Hotaru was not much better. She already wore a great deal of black and grey
but her face was now contorted into an everlasting frown. She was so hurt and
lonely that Haruka and Michiru had to take her away on a vacation to protect
her from becoming Sailor Saturn and ending life.
Sailor Pluto would no longer appear and no one could reach her in any way.
She had locked herself away at the gates of time and would see no one.
Endymion had awoken but wanted to stay asleep. His hangover was gone but his
whole family was a mess and his home was depressing. He spent his entire day
in his personal rose garden and nurtured the one things that would never fail
to return.
Rei spent her days with Artemis, Luna, and Diana. She ran about the palace as
if nothing had happened and would attempt to make the others laugh and be
their usual happy selves. It angered her that everyone would wither away all
because Small Lady decided to grow up.
Makoto kept searching the princess' room for clues so she could begin a
manhunt for 'the bad guys'. She wasn't very depressed but she was sad and
only wanted to bring Small Lady back.
Minako would wander around and adjust things that weren't 'perfect' for Small
Lady's return. She was certain that their princess would come home as soon as
she noticed the error of her ways and she wanted everything just right. Some
could hear her quoting in her usual incorrect manner about how 'hearts are
where the home is' and other such odd phrases.
Ami began to become loud and would make noise for most of the day and night.
She only slept when her body could no longer sustain on the energy she had
and many times she would drink a great deal of coffee just to keep her awake
further. She was extremely clumsly and would never eat with the others. She
felt as if it were her fault that Small Lady had run away.
Ceres, Pallas, and Vesta all left with Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru. They all
agreed that upsetting Ceres anymore was not a good idea. Juno had the option
of going with them but decided to stay and help Makoto.
Four days had passed and Elios had not arrived yet.
