"Erg" Serena grumbled raucously when she realized that she couldn't pull herself from Darien's shielding grasp. Slowly she wiggled herself free from his arms and shook herself, falling over in the process, the furor waking the somnolent soldier. Serena fought to keep her flushed face clear of embarrassment, and to her luck two guards came down and pulled them both to their feet. "Kageto requests to see you." He muttered harshly, dragging them off.
Serena screeched when all of Kageto's women pushed her around, finally tying a horrid looking cloak around her neck. "Look at that outfit.." One of them mumbled to another, flashing Serena a dirty look. They were all clothed in what Serena thought were vivid colors. Purple, pink, orange, all in a very properly sewn dress. Her own outfit was her middle school girl uniform, and muddy black shoes. Her hair was tousled and falling out of their normal meatballs. Oh how she wished to be home again in front of her fire with her mother doing her hair for her. "Where is Darien?" She asked the glowering man known as Kageto. "He's down there" He pointed to where Darien stood in a fighting area. He had no shirt, and only a frail sword to keep him company. Aways from him was a large stocky soldier with a giant sword, and tons of armor. One of Kageto's women pulled Serena back down to her seat. "He's fighting right now" Serena's heart sank. He hadn't a chance. "Yes, if he wins, you're free to go, if not, then you'll both lose your heads." Kageto laughed. Serena was about to throw up when a black animal leapt into her lap. "LUNA!" She howled, squeezing the cat tightly. "Ack! Sere-chan, I can't breathe!" The cat mewed in protest.
They both watched attentively as the fight began. "He has no hope.." Luna murmured. Serena wasn't ready to die, not there, away from her mother, father, and brother. She had a life, friends, she wanted to go home. She held firmly to the charm around her neck, praying to God that somehow she survive this off the wall dream. Darien's moves were extravagant. The crowd booed when he thrust his sword straight through the enemy's back. Serena opened her eyes in incredulity. "No! That can't be!" Kageto roared in rage at the scene. Darien jumped on the horse the man was perched on, and rode off into the sunset. Serena watched weakly, knowing that she had no way out of her fate, she hugged her cat closer, feeling more homesick than ever.
"Get that bastard!" She heard Kageto scream right next to her after a the minority of minutes of a elongated eternity in thought. "Serena!" Darien called, forcing her to open her eyes. Before she could react to his return he swiped her up in his arms by her diminutive waist and positioned her in front of him on the dark cream colored mare. They rode off into the sunset, never turning back to see Kageto or any of his minions, only a falling sun and rising moon,..
