A.N. Sorry people for taking so long. I'm kinda having trouble writing. You know, the usual writers' block? I swear I've done this chapter so many times but I just can't seem to make it work!

Chapter Two: Introduction - Quatre

"So, someone has arrived from another world, heh?"

"We have to be careful, Doctor J, we cannot afford to have a spy amongst our mists."

"According to legend, a girl is to appear at a certain time with the purpose to protect her world and judging from the many attacks in the last couple of months, combined with the appearance of this girl, OZ is up to something."

"Heero, your mission is to find out what OZ is up to. Your last mission was to spy on Treize's warlords, this time we want a full report on Treize's operations. Accept or decline?"

"Mission accepted."

"Nooo! Stay away from me!"

The handsome but inhuman looking man smirked as he advanced towards the trembling girl – like a predator to its dinner. He stopped in front of her, she tried to back away but found her legs unwilling to obey.

"Stop! What do you think you're trying to do Treize?!" a boyish voice from the corner of the room shouted angrily.

Serena let out a sigh of relief. Trieze's attention drifted for a moment onto the boy with platinum blond hair. His focus then returned to Serena. He moved closer, his lips brushing softly against her skin as he whispered something that was meant only for her to hear.

"We'll meet soon…and when we do…you're mine!" He kissed her affectionately and faded into the mists.

And then she was awake….

"Are you okay Miss? He didn't hurt you right?" A familiar voice asked, concerned.

Serena looked up to see the boy who appeared in her dream and immediately backed up against the bed.

"Y-you're real, the dream was real?!" she asked incredulously.

"You don't have to be afraid. I'm not the enemy! My name is Quatre Raberba Winner. My friends and I rescued you from Treize's underlings!" The boy with platinum-gold hair and blue eyes said hurriedly trying to clear up misunderstandings.

Serena looked around. She was on a canopied bed in the middle of a spacious room richly furnished with antique items.

"Where am I and how did you get into my dream?!"

"This is the Winner Estates. Uhh…about the dream part, I hope you don't mind, you see, I was only trying to help, I didn't mean to intrude or anything. You looked as if you were having a nightmare so I thought I'd help out, I'm really sorry, I was only trying to help…I'm babbling aren't I?"

Serena looked at the distressed and blushing boy and started giggling. She had a feeling she could trust the boy and that he wouldn't hurt her.

"I'm sorry, let me try again. The doctor said you needed rest and it didn't look like you were getting any from the way you were thrashing. I kinda penetrated your mind's shields to see what I could do to help." He finished sheepishly.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm Serena Usagi Serenity Tsukino but you can call me Serena."

"Nice to meet you Miss Serena – "

"Please just Serena."

"Nice to meet you Serena. May I ask what the man in your dream wanted from you?" Quatre asked courteously.

"You mean Treize?"

"You know him?!"

"My mother sent me here to this dimension hoping that I can put a stop to OZ's rule and by doing so, prevent Treize from invading my world."

"You're not from this world?"

"No."

"How do you know you can trust me?"

"Because mother said that I will meet five people who'll help me and that I can trust them. I think you're one of them."

"Your mother must have been referring to my friends and I."

"Can I meet them?"

"Yes, but tomorrow, right now you need to rest."

-----------------------------

He was in his domain. Shadows hid him from sight. He himself was part shade and this made him a perfect spy.

"Sir, his excellency wishes a progress report." The messenger said to the wizard.

"Inform his excellency that I will be there in a moment. I need to finish this binding spell."

"Yes sir."

They were in a room at the top of a tall tower that imprisoned many people. Screams could be heard. Women and children were crying. He realized that they were the missing victims of the recent attacks on the villages not under OZ's ruling.

"Shut them up! With all this noise, how can anyone work!" shouted the wizard to the guard who scrambled up to do his biding. "I want silence by the time I return!"

The old wizard left heading towards Treize's office.

Then he escaped through the open window at one side of the enclosure, sliding down the walls by a rope.

He climbed up the walls of another building, knowing that Treize's office was located at the top. He reached the roof then efficiently and silently opened the covering of a small vent opening. Looking around, he willed himself to lose substance - changing into his shadow form and slipped into the ventilation system. He slid though the system before reaching his intended destination.

" – will take many lives," the wizard was saying.

"It doesn't matter, I want that vortex opened at any cost." Treize Khushrenada was a 'man' with platinum blond hair and icy blue eyes. He was heartless but charming when needed to be. He conducted himself as a gentleman but acted like a vicious barbarian at times. He was cunning and manipulative and this made him dangerous. The man was a paradox.

"Opening such vortex will take a large amount of life force as I am using blood magic to open it. I would not recommend it, sir, as it will lower the amount of 'game' for some residents of your empire."

"It will not matter because there would be new game in another dimension. There is another matter at hand though. It seems that we have a visitor, a very important visitor, from another part of space taking residence in some region of my empire. I sensed her arrival, and her power."

"Sir, if this girl is that powerful, we may be able to complete the vortex ahead of schedule. It will also reduce the amount of food stock we're sacrificing." Lady Une, who has been silent through the conversation suggested.

"I want her. She intrigues me. Have your underlings search for her. I want her alive and unharmed." Treize stopped and then - "Une, we seem to have a visitor. One that was residing in our dungeons just a few hours ago. Please invite him in for tea."

"GUARDS!!"

It was enough, he slid silently away and back into the night.

----------------------------------

"So Treize it trying to open a vortex using blood magic huh. The conquest of Sanq Kingdom would provide him with many lives. By draining the Kingdom's inhabitants, he would have almost enough life force to complete the vortex."

"Dr. J, we have to take the girl into account! Her arrival has been sensed by Treize and if he gets his hands on her, there would be no one powerful enough to challenge him!"

"Yes, …Heero, you and the others are to train and protect her. Under no circumstances must Treize get his filthy hands on her."

"Mission accepted."

(Dream)

"Mother?"

"Serenity."

"Mother, what have I gotten myself into?"

"Sere, we don't have much time. Treize knows of your arrival and is very interested in the power in your blood.

"Does that mean, he'll come after me?"

"Your meeting is inevitable, you see, you must kill Treize before he kills you. Do you understand? His wizards are using blood magic to open a vortex into our world. To accomplish this, a certain amount of life force must be obtained and this means sacrificing millions of people. If you didn't come to this world, millions of lives will be lost and Treize will most definitely invade your reality. I sent you here to train and prepare for your final confrontation with Treize."

"Mother, I don't know if I can do it. I wasn't very strong even with my friends, how will I destroy Treize without them?"

"Friends? Is that what you call them? They're traitors, they've killed your confidence. Listen to me, Sere, you are powerful, very powerful, all you have to do is learn to use that power. Find the Scrolls, Sere, find the Kalaeyin Scrolls. It is located on this world. It will guide you and lead you to the mastery of your powers. Only then will you be able to weave your Web of Dreams. The doctors know where they are hidden, ask and you will know. I have to go now, we'll talk again."

"Mother wait!"
