Set in Stone
yami no ako
I never really thought about it until now, but these thoughts seem to come to me. Who is the creator of our destiny? Us, or a power still higher?
It's strange. I never used to feel this way, but now I'm having doubts at what is the power still higher. I used to think it was the Saturn power, but now…
Sailormoon and her Imperium Silver Crystal, the ginsuishou, is she the power still higher?
Or is it the planetary power of all the senshi?
When I'm alone I sit out on the beach by my home letting the waves crash over me and I think.
What is the Saturn power?
No one I know understands it.
I, its wielder don't understand it and it's mine.
That power still higher…
What is it?
Is it the power of friendship, of love?
I am sitting outside on my balcony, hugging my legs to my chest.
This power still higher…
I think I am beginning to understand.
It is both to be feared and welcomed.
This power still higher…
It is mine.
I am in control of my own destiny.
I hold the Saturn power, so therefore I control my own fate.
No one can oppose me.
And yet I find myself lonely each night.
No one likes me because I am to be feared, I cannot be trusted.
But whenever I want to forget about humanity, I remember her.
Chibiusa…
She brightened my dark life when I didn't think I would survive.
Now I almost wish I hadn't.
She's gone and I'm all alone again…
"Hotaru-chan!"
Michiru-mama!
My heart leaps.
I am not alone.
Because my greatest friends are always besides me.
They don't let me go away from them for long…
Michiru, Haruka, Setsuna…
Without them I would be alone, apart from all civilization.
They trust me and…
I trust them.
I must go now, or they'll worry about me.
Maybe we can go to the bay outside the balcony tomorrow.
Maybe.
But until then…
"HOTARU"
Haruka-papa too.
I wonder what they want.
I shall soon find out.
I am there now and I see their happy faces.
Maybe it's a surprise!
I love surprises!
"Hotaru-chan!"
I would recognize that bright, chirpy voice anywhere.
"Chibiusa-chan!"
I scream in delight.
My best friend is back.
"Hotaru…"
She says.
"This time I won't ever leave you again."
We hug and then head up to my room.
The power still higher is friendship.
Not Saturn power, the ginsuishou, or the senshi.
Friendship and love, the perfect ending.
Oh, I should go upstairs now.
Chibiusa is waiting.
Owari.
Bwa ha ha ha ha. Did you like that? That was my first SM fic in ages. Ja ne.
