"So this is Earth," Psyche remarked. "Not much to look at, is it?"
The Sailor Scouts had landed in the middle of a forest. They had had mixed
emotions all afternoon about this trip, but now that they were there, they were only excited
and eager to start. Psyche was right, it wasn't much too look at, especially since they had
had to travel in the night to avoid detection. Cassiopeia, though, felt the need to defend her
planet to the Sailor Venus. "Well, we're in the middle of the forest in the dark! You can
barely see the ground!"
"I suppose it will look better in daylight," Helena observed. "And I've heard
that the Terran palaces are beautiful."
"You think we'll get to see your home, Cassie?" Rosemarelle asked excitedly.
"Maybe," she smiled, "but not any time soon. Right now we have to pitch camp."
"Okay!" Serenity said enthusiastically. "But I get to cook!" Lots of sweatdrops.

Lord Krinan retired to his tent, exhausted after such a long day. "Metallia!" he
called. "METALLIA!!!"
Lady Metallia came running and curtsied at her husband's feet. "What is your
wish, my husband?"
"Dinner, woman! I give you all day with nothing to do, you should have my dinner
on the table when I walk in." His voice was silky and frighteningly cold. "Are you stupid,
woman? Or simply cold to you husband?"
"N-No, m'lord," Metallia stammered. "It'll be ready in just a minute." She hurried
outside, then came back in with a steaming bowl of soup and a loaf of bread. She sat silently
across the tent from her husband, listening to his complaints.
"...And then there's your idiot brother. That man is a pansy if ever I saw one. Telling
me that we had to treat prisoners kindly. Ha! Enemies of Lord Krinan should learn that they
will be dealt with most...harshly...if captured."
Seeing that Krinan was done, Metallia took the bowls to wash outside, but couldn't
help hearing his last comment. "I swear, when this is over, I'm going to be honored like I
deserve."
Kneeling by the stream to wash, Metallia reached out with her mind, feeling the young life
stirring inside her.
'Oh yes, Krinan. You will get what you deserve.'
