Gods Blessed.
Down Fall-Chapter 5
by Sorceress.



After three days of ridding nights and sleeping days many stories had
already spread. One such story had reached the Imperial Palace. "So
highness have you heard the new rumors?" A young blond hair, blue
eyes man appeared to ask a tree.

"No I haven't Jedite, but I'll wager your about to recite them." The
prince replied slithering down the tree trunk. Once on the ground he
turned and grinned impishly to the slightly younger man.

Looking the prince over he remembered why he spent so much time up
trees. He was 6'1" with dark black heir and deep blue eyes. Not only
that but he had muscle to spare. "It seems that a ghost is ridding for the
castle."

Pausing in his stretching he seemed pleased by the idea. "A ghost you
say?"

"That or some sort of fairy. No one has gotten a good look at her
because she rides only at night." Slowly the duo began walking back
into the palace. "They say she rides a stallion that must have been a gods
given gift. I've heard it has a silver hide with a black mane and tale, with
gold hooves."

"A truly magnificent sounding beast." He conceded flopping into a
chair, grateful the general's lounge was empty. "But what of the rider?
You said it was a female."

"Don't know. All I _could_ gather was that it is definitely a girl.
Nothing else could he figured out accept they're headed this way. Oh
yah and the girl can run as fast as the horse." Sitting across from the
prince.

At that his head shot up. "What?! I heard only Uranus could run like
that!"

"So had I, but I guess someone can match him." He said scratching his
head. Then he seemed to shrug it off.

"So why do you think our friendly ghost in coming to pay us a visit?"

"Don't know. All Nephrite's stars could tell us was, 'Beware the
halfling.' Now the question isn't why but what?"

Looking Jedite in the eye he gave him a confused look. "What, what?"

"What two halves is she and what draws her here?"

"No whys?"

"One. Why do the stars protect her?"

"Who knows, We can figure it out later. Right now we need to get to
practice before Kunzite throttles us." Getting up they strolled out of the
room both pondering the mysterious rider.

'GET UP!' Al yelled stamping next to her head.

"What? Is it night already?" She asked looking around blurry eyed.

'It doesn't matter. THEY're here!' Whinnying impatiently he took her
sleeve in his teeth and shook it hard.

"I'm up, and I plan on knocking THEM down." Rolling to her feet she
strapped on her bag and mounted. "Take me to 'em."

'It's about time.' Breaking into a gallop he carried her to the town they
had ridden through the night before. Unlike the other attacks Serena had
fought at, this time a strange lady was in the town square.

She had long red hair and horns on her shoulders. Clothed in a tight
purple and black dress, she floated above the town square laughing.
When she wasn't laughing she was directing her minions in the
destruction of the town.

Pulling out a hilt Serena breathed a word and a blade appeared.
Throwing her bag into a bush they rushed into the town. Without so
much as a battle cry she sliced several creatures in half. She was grateful
that her hood was on when the 'lady' gave a scream.

"Kill them! I want him dead along with his horse." Suddenly dozens of
the creatures were around them. "Kill them my youma, kill them!"

Grinning maliciously she leapt over the circling youma. With seeming
ease she sliced through their ranks. Worrying only about those in front
of her she was unprepared when one threw a ball of energy at her back.
Falling to her knees she barely held onto her sword. When she was hit
between the shoulders with an even stronger blast she fell unconscious.

With a great whinny, Al leapt to her side. Clamping his teeth onto the
back of her shirt, he was slightly reassured when she still held onto her
sword. 'You have not seen the last of us witch!' With that Al swung her
onto his back and took off.

Once out of the town he began running on air. 'I have to get her to
safety now.' Seeing the R.I.P. {Royal Imperial Palace} not far away he
moved back to Earth. 'Hang on Serena, we're almost there.' Racing
onwards he realized what the only safe way in was. 'Well here goes
nothing.'

Stopping abruptly he slid Serena to the ground. Slowly using the power
Zeus had given him, Al became human. At first he was very unsteady
but swiftly recovered. Carefully he lifted Serena up and kissed her
forehead. With a dim flash they were gone.

OOOOH! Don't you just hate it when this sort of thing happens. You
just get into a story part and the author decides to make you wait.
This time it's different though. I can't think of what else to write. My
mind has become a complete blank. Argh! Oh well.
Come visit me at:

I am in need of new ideas of what to do.
Help a pore blind man, don't shoot him in the foot.
