Families Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I'm still not Naoko so I still don't own SailorMoon. I do own Opal and anyone else who wasn't in the Anime or Manga. I wonder if anyone, other that Kata and Lita-chan, is reading this fic? ::looks out into a dark void:: Hello??? ::voice echoes:: If anyone can hear me email me, I'm trapped in my muses' twisted reality!!
Dinner was a simple but filling meal, Astraea told me how long the kingdom had been rebuilding and I felt a twinge of guilt. "How can you be sure your Princess will return? After so many centuries wouldn't she be dead?" Freya's eyes widen in shock, "Our Princess is alive! We wouldn't have accomplished so much if she wasn't!" she got up and stormed off. I looked to Astraea "I'm sorry if I've offended anyone I just don't quite understand how." She raised her hand to cut me off, "Freya is proud of our Princess even if she's never met her. We all are, she gave her life to protect Princess Serenity. Our oldest records show that the people of Venus have always been proud of our heroes and heroines. We've also been described as loyal and devoted. We may never live to see our Princess again but we know she will return home and we must prepare for that day." Now Freya's behavior made sense, "Maybe I should go apologize to Freya." Astraea nodded and motioned toward the door, "She's usually in the temple it isn't entirely rebuilt so please be careful." I nodded to her and left her.
I walked toward what I assumed was the temple, it was half ruined, there were bracers everywhere. Inside there was a path that had been cleared through the rubble and debris, at the end of the path was the altar, which was completely restored, kneeling in front of the altar was Freya. I remained as quiet as I could so I wouldn't disturb her, she was saying something so I listened. "Princess when are you coming home? Mother says as soon as you're sure that your Princess is safe you will return, but how long will it be? And will your Princess ever be safe? What if she's never safe? Will we never see you again?" her voice held tears, "Why do you have to stay to protect her aren't the other Senshi enough?" she bowed her head and silently cried. I sat on a beam that was near the altar, "You know, the Sailor Senshi can't succeed at anything if they don't work together." She turned and glared at me as she wiped at her tears. "What do you know about the Senshi?" Shrugging I replied, "I had to fight them before my quest." Freya gaped, "You fought against the Senshi?!? Why?" I shrugged again, "Because it was what my Prince had ordered." She frowned at me, "And you blindly followed orders? Didn't you know the Senshi are the guardians of peace and love?" bowing my head and half chuckling I answered her questions, "I didn't know at the time what they guarded, and no I didn't 'blindly follow orders'. Several times I had asked my Prince why we were fighting them, I never really wanted to fight. I was happy just living with my family." Freya looked at me with a touch of pity and confusion, "Didn't he care that you didn't want to fight? Why would he take you from your family to fight when you didn't want to?" I smiled she saw nothing wrong with asking question after question, "He didn't take me from my family, he was part of my family, but they were all dead by the time I had to fight the Senshi." She gasped and grew wide-eyed, I could tell she understood how it felt to lose family. "I still don't see why you fought the Sailor Senshi?" I thought for a moment, why did I fight them? It wasn't because of Diamond's orders I had disobeyed him enough that he had gotten used to it. It wasn't because I hated them, I didn't know them enough to hate them. I realized why I fought them. "I fought them because I thought they had caused me to be alone."
Author's note: I don't know why, but I wanted to keep this chapter short... ::looks over the chapter:: really short. Oh well someone write me so my muses will leave me alone for now. And I would like to note that my computer is misbehaving.
