In the temple which was in her grandfather's charge,Raye eyed Sheila with puzzlement.Amy,who had brought her
here,was sitting between Mina and Lita.Luna was at one corner alongside Artemis,a white cat who,like her had a
crescent on his forehead.
"If Amy's right,"said Luna,"this Sheila may have been the victim of some strange power of which we know nothing
about."
"Maybe,"Artemis said."All I know is,without Serena,there's no Sailor Moon to lead the Scouts."
At that moment,Raye stood up."There's only one way to find out the truth about this girl."Raye then turned to the
flame behind her and began to chant.Images began to appear in the flame,the faces of six youngsters and Sheila's
face was among them.The other five,she knew very well.
"That's my little brother Bobby,"she said as she pointed at the youngest,"and that's Hank,Diana,Presto and Eric."
The image then shifted to an amusement park,then to the six as they climbed aboard a car in a ride filled with
monsters."That's the Dungeons & Dragons ride,"she said."Before we knew it,we were transported to this world
called the Realm."Again the image shifted and a little unicorn appeared."That's Uni.Bobby kind of made her his
pet."The flame then showed a little man in a red robe."That's Dungeon Master!He's kind of good,although Eric
doesn't like his riddles or the way he appears and disappears."Again the image shifted,this time the visage of
a fearsome looking being emerged.Sheila gasped as she recognized him."T-that's Venger!Dungeon Master
called him the force of evil."
The girls could barely know what to make of all this.
Sheila continued,"Dungeon Master gave each of us a magical weapon.Bobby got a club which could shatter
anything it hit,Hank,a bow which could fire energy arrows,Diana,a pole which could extend to any length,
Presto got a hat which could produce anythin,but not always what he wanted.Eric got a shield which nothing
could penetrate.As for me,I got a cloak which could render me invisible."
Mina looked at Lita.For her part,Amy merely listened to her two friends and teammates.
"What will we tell Darien?"Mina asked of Lita."What will happen when he finds out that Serena is gone and
this girl took her place?"
"But,"Sheila began again."For all I know,they're all still in the Realm.And . . . and I don't know how to
reach them.Anything could have happened to them"She looked downcast.
"Well,Sheila,"Raye said."You can stay in the temple for awhile."
"Thanks."Sheila said,managing a weak little smile.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY SISTER?"Bobby demanded in anger,his club held high.As far as he was
concerned,it was bad enough that Sheila disappeared,but for this girl to show up wearing her outfit . . .
"Hey!"The blonde cried out."Watch it with that thing,you viking pipsqueak!"
"Cool it you two!"The young man in the Ranger's garb spoke."I assure you,neither she nor I had anything
to do with what happened to your friends.Trust me,we're just as puzzled by all this as you are."
"Just for the sake of arguement,"said Diana."Let's say that you're telling the truth,what then?"
Eric could only roll up his eyes in dismay.
"At the very least,"Presto added."You could tell us your names."
"I'm Darien and this here is Serena."
While they talked,a huge eagle had landed and was staring hungrily.

While this conversation went on,Vardos was getting reacquainted with the Realm and its inhabitants.He
was here before,when he followed half of the Heart of Light.He realized that it landed somewhere in this
world but did not know where.While he was there he found many things.The one called Venger,he decided,
could prove to be incovenient at best.Certainly he would not allow one such as Venger to interfere with
his search.The dragon Tiamat would also prove to be a problem.Vardos had also heard of this Dungeon
Master and regarded him as an unpredictable element.Vardos then noticed a small signpost pointing to
a distant village.Perhaps he would find the Heart half there.He then threw the silvery sphere to the
ground.
"Arise,my Seedran!"
A glow surrounded the sphere,then it began to grow and change into an armored humanoid figure,
undeniably female.She had long dark green hair,a pale blue face and blank purple eyes.The armor she
wore was red and purple in color.
"Go,Jyldah!"Vardos said."Go and wreak havoc!Find me the Heart half!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Earth,a youth with blond hair was walking.Sheila would have recognized him as
Hank,for it was indeed he.When he awoke this morning,he found himself in a bed within an
apartment building.He had no idea what had happened to him and for all he knew,the others were
all still in the Realm.All he could do now was ponder what to do next.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unknown to him and a good distance from where he was,Kazyne had just thrown her sphere to the
ground.
"Arise,my Seedran!"
As in the Realm,Kazyne's sphere had changed form,but this one was male.He had thick blond hair and
a not unattractive face with two black orbs where the eyes should be.His garb was a crazy quilt of
colors and he had hairy oversized claws in place of hands.He started to grin.As he did,he sported two
sharp fangs.
"Find me the Heart half,Fyros!"Kazyne demanded."Let nothing stop you!"
