And A Woman Shall Lead Them

Disclaimer: Ladeda I don't own Sailor Moon, ladeda.
Serena was thrown to another man, and then another and then she hit the ground where her hands were tied behind her back, enough so that she heard her shoulders crack with the force. She then had her head covered in a nasty smelling bag that smelled of week old rabbit meat, meat that had been out in the sun for a while. She nearly gagged on the smell but she knew that if she threw up now that she would pay for it for the rest of her journey with these men. So she lay there after they threw her on top of her horse's saddle and tried to collect her senses and her stomach. Eventually she was able to think about something other than what she had eaten that morning and to focus on what was happening to her. Thats when it hit her, of course, that her mother lay dead back on the road somewhere, and these mean had killed her. Killed her mother, the only family she had in this world! How dare they! Then she started to feel the anger seep into place of the grief that she was feeling over the death of her mother. The grief was shoved away to a dark corner of her mind for later consumption.
They were moving at a fair pace, she could feel the sway of the saddle underneath her stomach. She just hoped that she didn't fall off the horse, either onto her feet or her head. But she knew that Onshey would keep a fair pace so that she wouldn't fall off. But with even that to comfort her she began to think about what these men could want from her. She wasn't stupid she knew what males wanted from females and that most females gave more freely with their... favors than others did. Her mother had warned her about these kinds of men since she had gotten her flow. But now she wished that she hadn't wanted to leave the valley so much, that they had stayed there forever, maybe then her mother would still be alive... She felt the hot tears streak down her face in a race with each other to see who could reach her chin the fastest, and even more followed them. But her tears right now were drying up because she could again feel the men's hands on her body hauling her from her percarious position on the saddle. She felt slimy and dirty when they set her on her feet and backed away. She could feel someone tugging on the thing that trapped her face and blocked out the sun. She felt her arms loosen too and she decided that when they, whoever they were, removed the thing covering her face she would hit the nearest ones and make a break for the forest.
Unfortunately that wasn't meant to be because the person that took off the sack was one of the most beautiful women on the earth. Serena just stood there staring, and staring, and staring. Even though her mouth hung open she didn't care that it was bad manners because this woman was so beautiful and her voice was so comforting. Because until that moment she hadn't realized that the finely sculpted mouth was moving and she was speaking to her. At first she couldn't find any words and her mouth and throat were so dry that she couldn't speak. Then the woman smiled at her and some of the golden shine that had been around her face disappeared and there stood a beautiful woman as before but not so striking as she had once been.
"Are you ok now?" The woman asked in a voice that sounded like water running over rocks.
"Yes, better." She replied even though her voice sounded hoarse and strained to her ears.
"Good. Would you like something to drink, eat, maybe a bath is in order? Hmm?" The woman stood there waiting for her reply and smiled when Serena just nodded. The beautiful woman turned those liquid eyes away from her and then she could finally think clearly. A bath? Something to eat? Drink? This must be heaven after the hell of the road and being manhandled by those ruffians.
"Everything is on its way. Go in there and get out of those dirty clothes while I find you something clean to wear." The woman moved away and began looking through a cupboard full of elegant clothes.
Serena stood there dumbstruck for a few minutes and then moved to do as the woman had suggested. As soon as she had all her clothes off over the small changing room door came an elegant robe. Quickly she put it on and then came out from behind the door. There before her stood a steamy hot bath, a goblet and a plate of delicious looking food. Serena, mouth watering, moved closer to the food and grabbed for a little of the meat that sat on it. When it hit her tongue she nearly fainted it was so good. The woman came from around a corner and shooed her into the tub for a "quick scrub before dinner" as she put it.
Finally after getting her long hair washed and plaited she sat eating from the wonderful food that sat before her. It was then that the woman started talking to her, about nothing much really, atleast not until she started talking about who she was and where they were that bit caught Serena by surprise and had her staring again with her mouth open.
"Excuse me." She whispered in awe. "Where are we and who are you again?"
"Gyrain,dear, Goddess Gyrain. And here is what your people call Omninos, or Olympus to those of us who live here."
Serena fainted dead away.
