Author's Note: Okay, I lied, Lily narrates this chapter two. Hehe, not so much of a cliffie this time, but re-reading it, it sounds intriguing.

Chapter Two – Sailor Sun

Lily was not fond of darkness, not at all, and imagine her terror when she called a hello and no one answered back. Lily stood up, careful not to knock into anybody or anything that might be lurking in the darkness. To her surprise she didn't feel the grassy lawn of the school underneath her feet … only the asphalt of an alleyway, she then realized that everything had not just turned to dark. She was somehow standing in an entirely different place.

She shook her head whispering to herself "this has to be a dream," that was when she realized she clenched something in her hand, a glowing red ornament of glowing yellow amber lay hot in her hand, she didn't have enough time to puzzle over it before an even stranger thing occurred … in the darkness the glowing eyes of a cat approached. Calling her name. Lily pinched herself as the cat's eyes moved closer … could it be?

"Who is there!?" Lily yelled out into the dark alley, surely someone else was calling her name, even if she just appeared in an old alley who knows where, cat's surely couldn't talk. Lily hadn't even ever had a dream about such a thing.

Finally the cat reached Lily, and Lily couldn't deny it was the cat speaking to her anymore.

"Are—are you speaking to me?"

"Who would you think I was speaking to but you, do you see anyone else around?"

"I … uhh …"

"I know, I know, you don't usually expect talking cats to show up out of nowhere, but if you'd let me explain I would gladly do so."

Lily stared at him, "Okay … shoot." She was still a little wary of speaking to a cat.

"You are Sailor Sun, protector of good, you are a scout and defender of justice," the cat looked to Lily for a response, but continued before Lily could. "See that brooch you are holding, that enables you to change into Sailor Sun, all you do is say Sun Light Power,"  "See your ring?" Lily hadn't noticed a beautiful ring of the same glowing material, she fingered it to make sure it was really there.

"No one else, not even Princess Serenity has one, only you, it can only be used once, then it disappears."

"Why does it disappear?" dream or not, Lily was intrigued.

"I'll get to that. It can only be used once, to resurrect the one you love, guard it with your life, there are certain people who would die to get their hands on that, the ring does not always bring good. It is capable of killing millions." Lily looked back at the ring, how could this little thing do so much? She thought.

Apollo continued "All you have to say is 'from the power of light, give them life' to bring someone back."

"What about if someone wants to use it … for the wrong reasons?" Lily said almost in a whisper.

"I was afraid you were going to ask me that … to kill someone with it's powers you must say 'from the power of light bring them to death'. Don't ever repeat it until the ring is long gone, understand?" Lily nodded. "Okay then, you have other powers as well. When you transform you get a tiara, this tiara can send a beam of light so powerful that it will trap your opponent in a circle of light, all you have to say is 'Caged with Light' your other powers will come to you later."

Lily sat right down on the cold asphalt, stunned, confused, everything was just too much for her, she was a super hero defending the earth against evil, she had something on her finger that could bring back the dead … or kill so many, and still that masked man in her mind, who was he?

The cat spoke again. "Now … we have to find you somewhere to stay the night." The cat said ponderingly. After a moment of thought he looked up. "I know just the place …" the cat motioned to the girl and they both walked away into the dark city.

To be continued … grrr, I need more reviews, but I like this story … I'll continue!
