Disclaimer: Hello again. Well I don't own Sailor Moon don't sue me because you would be very disapointed with what I could give. Heck I wouldn't have the money to pay for the lawyer. ^^



It was four months later when she left her work at the palace with enough money to support her travels for a little while, a very little while, but she also counted on the kindness of the people in her land to offer her shelter and food for little money. That is until Monankah directed her toward where she was destined to stay until he saw fit. But it was another two months of walking and sometimes riding whenever she could find someone willing enough to let her ride in their cart. Her pregnancy was reaching its sixth month and it was starting to get hard to walk long distances, even to stay on her feet for very long amounts of time. But she figured that if the woman that worked the fields while pregnant, had their babies in the field then kept working, that she could stand to walk until she got a sign.

She had traveled far away from the castle where she had been raped, but most of the time she didn't think about the palace or of the rape but of the place where she had conceived this wonderful child. Even in the first months of her pregnancy she hadn't even gotten sick like the other village women did, that was just one more reason to think that this was a special child.

In the morning she headed toward Monankah and toward his brother, Sholo, in the evening. When on the road in front of her she saw a white horse gleaming in the rays of Sholo.

"So you have been walking long daughter." It was a statement more than it was a question coming to her on the breeze. It was then that she knew it was Monankah.

"Master, were it possible I would kneel, but your gift is weighty and getting down is easier than getting up."

"It is of no matter," the breeze whispered, "I know what you go through, We watch you always."

"I am glad of it because the coming of this child, though still three full moons away, is drawing nearer and nearer."

"True enough, and since this is so you are not needed to walk farther on feet that have seen many miles. So take this horse and ride him into the mountains past the praying rock and there you will find your haven." At the last the breeze went peacefully away and the horse whinnied softly as if bekoning her to get on her smooth back and ride off into the stars. She walked up to the horse, the light almost gone now, petting its nose and looking into its deep black eyes.

"I will call you Onshey, meaning star rider."

With one last pat to his mane she set upon the long task of trying to mount him, when this seemed impossible she stood back and the horse bent down inviting her on, looking at her like she could have asked before. So she put her leg over the horse's back and felt the soft hair brush her leg and she was on, and then they started on their jouney searching for her haven.
