Serena hummed absently to herself, fingering the new charm around her neck, given to her by her black tabby cat, Luna. "Just maybe this charm will bring you a love life" She joked playfully with her while she cast her a haunting scowl. "Hush up, cat" She scolded stiffly, sick of her petty comments. "I'm not THAT boy crazy like most girls out there, sorry" She glowered at her. "Your mother mentioned that this charm may have magical powers, so be careful.." She gestured her hand at her to not worry about it, yet that didn't persuade her thoughts of her doing something utterly ridiculous and being swished into the depths of time like her mother had been. She played with it all night and day, until she accidentally fingered it open to reveal different lines of numbers. Luna was slumbering peacefully in her lap, and she didn't want to disturb her to ask of the necklace's hidden compartment, instead she started toying with the numbers, until she was taken in a warm, inevitable light, which seemed to jar her out of place, and send her mind spinning.
The crisp, cool breeze fluttered her eyelashes open and she sat up, recollecting the odd dream of the light. Then she realized that it had not been a dream, for she was surrounded by wildflowers of many sorts. Instantly she shot up, dropping the sleeping cat out of her lap, who let out a terrified cry when she awoke to a place other than where she had dozed off. "Sere-chan! What HAVE you done?" She looked at her remorsefully. "I don't know, Luna, I just started playing with the numbers inside the jewel and.." That's it! Hadn't she used her brain before she would have understood just what she had done! Stopping her in mid-sentence, a young man came running and fell due to his slight limp on the left foot. "Hey, are you okay?" Serena asked, taken aback and thrilled at the same time. He looked at her piteously, His dark hair messed up and stuck to his face by his own blood. "Who are you?" He asked indecisively. "Um, my name is Serena Tsukino, guardian of the earth!" His expression was stunned and of disbelief. "Are you in need of help?" He looked down past her and grabbed his sword, thrusting it up to her chest. She looked down at the blade and irritably glared at him. "What? Are you planning on killing me?" She reached to push the blade away, and screeched in alarm. He figured he had unintentionally thrust too hard being the fool he was, until she looked at him in terror. His own blood was spilling down the silver blade. He faltered and released the sword, then fell into her arms. She caught him, but he easily overweighed her and she tumbled over with him. He whined painfully and flinched as she wiped his hair away from his golden eyes. "Tis Kageto, He is after me, you should go, if your seen with me lass, he'll kill you too" He muttered. Serena wasn't afraid of some stupid Kageto guy, she was a sailor senshi after all, what harm could he do? Sounds of strident thudding came a moment later, and the young soldier grimaced as in defeat or pain. A man strode up on a pure snowy horse, and looked blissfully to Serena, whom directly knew what he was up to. "Spare this man, you fiend, or face my wrath!" She conjured it all on her tongue, and clutched her locket on her chest, ready to fight for the poor soldier. "Spare Chiba?? Take them both away!" he ordered, and Serena found herself being drug along.
She was thrown in the dungeon with the dark haired soldier. Inside were grimy walls, and rat holes. "This is nothing like the Holiday Inn.." She muttered as they slammed the gates, and secured the lock. The soldier took a seat up against the pole in the middle of the room and looked desolately toward the ground. "So, Mr. Soldier, what is your name?" He looked at her hatefully. "You are the lass who ruined my pride! Seems not a great idea to give out my name." She pursed her lips in detest at his attitude. "Come on! If you don't I'll give you a cutie nickname… such as Pooky!" He glowered at her before sighing in defeat. "My name is Darien Chiba, leader of the country of Ebina." Serena pondered the country name through her mind for a second before deciding that she has never heard of it before. "Is that anywhere near Tokyo?" He looked dumbfounded by her question. "Tokyo… ?" Serena was growing tired and restless, she only wanted to know exactly where she was, and not be trivia-ed like on a game show. "Tokyo! Japan!" She shouted. He only squinted at her, deciphering whether she was a loony or not. "You know what? Forget it!" she threw her arms up in defeat, sitting in place on the cold hard ground of the dungeon cell.
She looked up to the burning torch, the fact that it was slowly fading only then entering her mind, warning her of the upcoming blackness. When the torch blows out she'll be alone with who knows what since Darien was sleeping. After a few minutes of dread, the torch flickered and blew out, and the sounds of footprints scampering across the floor could be heard. "Aahh!" Serena shrieked and flung herself to the soldier, thudding hard against his shoulder. She shivered, anticipating him of yelling at her, or breaking her hand, which gripped tightly to his dark pants. Instead he sighed heavily and wrapped her up in his arms, resting his chin on her head so they both could get some sleep. She snuggled up against his bare chest and fell quickly to her slumber..
