*****The Unknown Visitor*****
The entire palace of Crystal Tokyo was a depressing mess. A tall man with
light blue hair and bright green eyes stepped up to the entrance and
wondered just what was going on. It was usually so cheery and nice here but
never like this.The man began to worry as he wandered through the palace
wondering where everyone was.
"Shaun! How good it is to see you again!" Rei ran up in her swimsuit carrying
a beach towel and some suntan lotion. "I'm just off to the beach. Unlike
everything else around here I'm not going to waste MY life away!"
"Where is my wife? Is she all right?" Shaun glanced at the oddly happy Rei
with eyes full of questions.
"Oh, Ceres is with Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Pallas, and Vesta. They went on
a vacation and didn't invite me! Wasn't that just so rude of them? Oh well.
I'm off to the beach! See you later Shaun!" With that Rei ran off.
"What is going on here?!" The poor distraught man decided it was time he
found Endymion and ask him. As he began to walk off down the halls in
search for the king a young man with white hair came stumbling into the
palace.
"May I help you?" Shaun asked this stranger.
"Water, please I need some water." The young man choked out as he fell to his
knees on the floor. Shaun ran into a nearby study and brought the boy some
water. The younger man smiled as thanks and then drank as if he hadn't had
a drink in days, possibly weeks. "I was stranded out in a desert. I didn't
know which direction to go and once I found a village they told me the palace
was on the other side of the desert! I couldn't get any food from them,
having no money, but they were kind enough to give me some water. It just
wasn't enough." The boy said this through ragged breaths and coughed sand up
a couple times.
"What is your name?" Shaun asked the boy. He was very curious about what this
young man was up to.
"My name is Elios."

"Ikuko! I've had to write this same sentance ten times already! Can't we go
on to something else?" Tanya begged her friend and tutor.
Ikuko smiled but shook her head. "You will continue to write that sentance
until you get it right. No mistakes."
"Why? It isn't as if I'm going to be royalty or rich or anything. I'm going
to grow up and then I'll own mama's shop and whomever I marry will run papa's
tavern. It's the way things go. So who cares if I sound like a simple
peasant? That's what I'll be." The girl pleaded her case to the pink haired
woman before her.
"I've already said no. And just because it is the most obvious path for your
life does not mean that you must take it. You can be anything you want to be.
Never let anyone tell you otherwise." Ikuko thought back to her life just a
few days ago as Small Lady, princess and sole heiress to the throne of
Crystal Tokyo. Decendant of Sailor Moon, destined to take on the role of the
champion of justice someday.
Tanya noticed how her tutor had gone off in a world of her own and so she
sighed and continued writing the annoying sentance, still unsure what she
was doing wrong.

Serenity sat in the gazebo in one of the many beautiful gardens surrounding
her home and thought about the recent events. She wasn't angry with her
daughter. In fact she was pleased that her little girl was deciding to grow
up and claim her own destiny.
"But why did you have to go so far from home to do it? Why did you have to
leave? Was it me? Was I smothering your creativity? I don't understand! We
were always more than just mother and daughter. You were my one pure friend!
I was hoping that I was the same for you." The woman spoke this with all the
force of emotion she felt in her heart. No one could hear it, of course. As
the wave of emotions finished it's peak in her heart every drop came tumbling
down and she crumbled in tears.
