Chapter Eleven
The room was dark. Only the dim light that the monitors cast threatened to penetrate the darkness. Beeping and shallow breathing constantly vibrated in her ears. She had to get out, this darkness, this unseen hell was driving her insane. She slowly lifted herself up and stood next to her bed. Slowly, she took out the needle of her IV. Then proceeded to take off the suction cups and other monitoring devises that Jennifer Darkfall had put in place. A flat line showed on her heart monitor. She grinned slightly and whispered, "I'm dead."
Her bare feet sounded on the cold tile floor. A sterile floor. A floor that not even Miss Darkfall, herself, would dare to wear shoes on. No. Jennifer would put on little cloth booties over her black shoes. The ex- patient's blue eyes scanned the darkness for a door. How in the hell do you loose a fucking door!?!? The Blue-Eyed Angel cursed. Her thoughts were all negative, until she found what she was looking for... the door.
But the door was not a door at all. The door was a mechanical door. It could only be opened by a password and security card, which this woman did not have. She cursed herself, the door, and everyone else in the room. She looked at the Hylians, all lying sick and defenseless. Link wasn't here to keep them safe. Wasn't here to open the fucking door. She sighed and looked for another way out of this hole. Her personal hell. Her personal insanity chamber.
Her lips quirked upwards in a smile. "Perfect," she breathed. A window, barely the size of a computer screen was on the farthest wall from her. "Athene, you can fit. You can fit." She coaxed herself. Not only coaxed, but cheered. Yes, she was cheering herself on. Cheering for her freedom. Cheering for her release. For her sanity. Or was it her insanity? No, she was definitely cheering for her sanity. She would leave her insanity behind once she exited this hell. This insufferable hell.
Athene quickly made her way to the window, then was surprised to find it unlocked and just begging for her to escape through it. So she did. She slide through the window with the greatest of ease.
The night's crisp air greeted her. But she didn't stop to wallow in her freedom, no, she was on a mission. A mission that had to be completed... NOW! She quickly made her way back to her room. Once inside her room she shed her medical garments. Then walked around her room naked. Fully exposed to the night and all that lurk in it. After a sigh and moment's pause she again started on her mission. She almost ran to her dresser, where she took out a black bra, black underwear, black socks, a black silk shirt, and a pair of black dress pants.
She dressed quickly in the night, her digital clock read 11:56pm. Only four minutes, I gotta hurry! She ran to her closet and pulled out a pair of black boots. And grinned as she looked at the garment hanging on the only hanger in the closet. She reached in slowly and drew the garment out. "You're gunna change all this. I know I can still call them. And tonight you're gunna prove me right. Magic or no magic, I am the Princess of Wisdom and I am the Guardian of Wisdom. And you... you are gunna make me who I am!" Athene drew the black robe around her shoulders.
The robe was long, covering her feet. It had long sleeves that hung down from her hands at least a few feet. A hood was attached to the back of this dark robe. Athene raced to her mirror. A black scrunchy lay on the dresser top. She grabbed it and pulled it around her wrist. She flung her hands behind her head and quickly put all her hair into a braid. Tying the end off with the black scrunchy she once had around her wrist. She smiled at herself in the mirror. A reflection of the clock read, 11:58pm. She ran to the window...

"Clean this, fetch that... Get me my uniform, Anabelle. Can you bring me breakfast, Anabelle. Anabelle, tend to the gardens. Wash the floors, make the quests happy. Ugh, all I do is follow the orders of that spoiled princess and her pals. What would my mother and father think of me if they could see me now?" Anabelle's golden hair covered her eyes as she held her head low. Her hair made a canopy around her weeping eyes.
"Pisst!" Anabelle looked up to see whom was trying to get her attention. She shyly paced the room, searching the corners and behind the pots of house plants.
"Who's there?" she asked the dark room. The room ws littered with plants and tapestries along its walls. In the center was a table that could seat six people. Each of the chairs weren't under the table, but out to be dusted and oiled with a floral scented oil to give the room a fresh smell. The room had already been vacuumed, swept, dusted, and various other measures were taken to rid the room of bacteria and other vermin.
"My name is of no concern, however, I do have a piece of information that just might make your night a little brighter," the voice was feminine and soft. Delicate, yet forceful. Filled with wisdom and confidence.
"Which is?" Anabelle still couldn't see the person who spoke to her, but could tell the general direction in which the voice came.
"Why your power of course. You hold a gift so powerful that it could rearrange the cosmos if you only wished it. You, you are far more powerful than any machine and far more powerful than any wizard from ancient legend. And I, I am going to show you how to unleash that power... tonight," the voice grew a body of a woman. Athene emerged from the darkness and Anabelle gasped at her visitor's face. The face was not gruesome or sinister, but kind. In heart, she was expecting a ghastly man that was playing a trick, but the serene face of her visiting angel convinced her otherwise.
"How do I unleash it?"
Athene led Anabelle to the spot she entered the world of Gundams and advanced machinery. To the place where the most magic existed. "Why are we here, Athene?" Anabelle looked innocently at the guardian.
"Because this place has the magic we need to go forward with the ceremony, Anabelle," Athene lost herself in Anabelle's brown eyes... Those eyes are so innocent. So young, So pure. I don't know if I can do this... snap out of it Athene. You have to do this! Athene suddenly grabbed Anabelle and used a silver rope to tie her hands and feet then shoved a handkerchief in her mouth. Then used another black handkerchief and tied it around her head so the gag couldn't be pushed out. Athene took out one last handkerchief and used it to blindfold the innocent maid.
"I'm sorry Anabelle, but this is how it's done," the ancient woman reached inside her ceremonial robe and extracted a blade. The handle was made of pure silver and was engraved with diamonds and pearls. Next to the hilt of the blade was a single diamond. "Don't be afraid I've done many of these ceremonies." Athene stepped closer to her prisoner and raised the blade just under the maid's throat.
"I, the rightful ruler and guardian of the ancient world of Wisdom, hereby call the ancient time's magic to do my bidding. With this virgin sacrifice I offer my loyalty to the ancient ways..." Athene made the trembling maid kneel before her then swiftly cut a thin line on Anabelle's soft throat. Instantly, blood began to flow out of the mortal wound. "With this scarlet blood I summon the Gates of Time and Dimensions. Appear before me!" A sudden rush of fog encased the magician and dying girl. Before them a set of French doors appeared. The doors were white and engraved with crescent moons and stars. Rose decorations commented the ancient relics of magic. "Ancient doors of time and dimensions send forth the Forbidden One. Bring forth the one that would be forever sealed away by the rulers of old and new!" Slowly the doors opened, not a sound was made as they opened completely then rested, waiting for the summoned to come. Athene's blade rested in her hand, bathed in blood. Anabelle had died and laid piled on the cold ground. Already decaying.
Athene grinned as a similar form, dressed all in black appeared walking toward her. The face of the summoned was hidden beneath it's black hood. The movement of the summoned's walking made the corners of the robe flap behind it. And at the summoned's waist, a similar blade was holstered. Only this blade's hilt was made of obsidian and when closely observed one could see the intricate detail of the skulls, bones, and a single crescent moon engraved in the stone.

Early That Day
"Darien, don't stop this time," Serena breathed in Darien's ear. Darien pulled Serena back only to bring her back to him in a kiss. He opened her lips with his tongue and he slide his hand behind her back. They stumbled through the palace halls desperately trying to locate Darien's room. At last they found it and quickly entered.
Darien locked the door them turned his hungry gaze to Serena, who was panting. "Are you sure?" he asked softly. She nodded. Darien fished a condom from his wallet and set it on the night stand, Serena had walked out on to the balcony. Darien found a lighter and some candles and scattered the lit candles around the room.
The night was warm, and very inviting. Serena sighed and took a deep breath of the sweet smelling air. She gasped slightly when two strong arms encased her. She instantly felt warmer. "Come on Serena, " Darien coaxed. Serena turned around and claimed her lover's lips with hers. Darien steered them toward his bed and soon to be their bed. They stopped walking at the side of the massive bed. Darien began to unbutton his shirt, Serena was pulling off her shoes and socks.
Serena stood and kissed her love, she took the open shirt and took it off her love, exposing his muscular chest. In response Darien pulled Serena's shirt up and over her head. He let the fabric slide from his fingers to the floor. Serena blushed in maidenly modesty. "You're beautiful," Darien comforted.
"Darien, is this okay?"
"I love you and if you're ready..." Darien trailed off. Serena looked at him then took of her skirt and unbuckled his belt. Darien smiled and aided Serena by unzipping and removing his pants. Then without notice he reached behind his love and undid her bra, the material slipped off her voluptuous form and to the floor with the rest of their clothes. "I've wanted to see you this way for so long."
He gathered his love in his arms and gently laid her on their bed. He slide his hands down her sides till his fingers came in contact with her panties. Darien grabbed at the fabric and trailed it down and off of her. He then stood and removed her boxers, his arousal plainly visible. "Are you sure?" he asked one last time. He didn't want to pressure her at all.
"Yes, I love you," Darien smiled then reached for the condom on the night stand and placed it on himself. He gingerly positioned himself between her silken legs. He kissed her nose then in one swift thrust entered her. Serena gasped and closed her eyes while Darien kissed her forehead.
"It's okay," she said and nature claimed her prone body. Her hips rocked, her rocking signaled Darien to continue. God! If this is what making love feels like then this must be true love! Serena thought. She could feel herself tighten on Darien's member and knew that she was nearing orgasm. Darien thrust hard and Serena moaned in pleasure.
He wanted them to finish together and so did one last thrust and he released. Serena screamed out his name while he collapsed on top of her. He quickly removed himself from inside her and withdrew the well used condom from his spent member. He kissed Serena on the top of the head as they drifted off to sleep.
*****
Darien's tanned hand ran itself through his dark mass of hair. A slight sigh escaped his parted lips, not a sigh of boredom or contempt, but that of love and satisfaction. His royal blue eyes sparkled in the moonlight, that streamed through the french doors. Those same blue eyes were smiling to the very Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. He had never know joy till this moment. Nor the feeling of loving someone so much it hurt to be without their touch, but now he knew. He knew how it felt to be totally and completely in love with one person.
He glanced away from the night's scene to look back at his lover. His friend. His future wife. The future barer of his child. His future queen. And forever his savior. "Serena, you are like no one I've ever known. You make me forget my uncertain past and be happy with who I am. I used to think I'd never be able to commit to anyone, but you, glorious you, have proven me wrong. A wrong that I will forever be happy of. Serena, my darling friend, my lover, my savior... I love you. Love you like Anthony loved Cleopatra. And I need you. Need you like the honeybees need flowers to survive. I am your bee and you my honey. The source of my life. One day I will pollinate you and our daughter will come from you, from our love. Never leave me. Never stay away too long. Just stay and be with me. Forever. Together," Darien sat at the end of the large bed. His gaze on the sleeping blonde that only moments ago had made him the happiest man alive. His mind played for him the evening in which his love became his lover.

What could possibly causing the illness of the Sages? Poor Link is all alone in a strange land. His love, ruler, and friends are all asleep. It's kinda like the story Sleeping Beauty only not only is the princess asleep, but everyone. But why isn't Link asleep? What gives him the strength to not fall victim to this strange virus? Hmmm... this is all so strange, so interesting. Rei Hino paced her room, her hands on her hips. Her long raven colored hair was tied back into a ponytail. The ponytail was loose and strands of hair escaped the band and floated freely around her face and body as she walked and pondered over things that they couldn't find the answers too.
Rei suddenly stopped. A strange energy encased her, her sensed were on full alert. It feels ancient, strong, yet different then any kind of magic I've ever been around... I should call the others! Rei ran out of her room and sprang across the hall. She pounded wildly on the door, she heard a voice call from within.
"Come in!"
Rei burst through and saw not only Ami, but Lita too. Perfect! "Guys, we have trouble! I can feel it! It's strong, Lita go get Mina and Ami you get Serena! I'll find Luna and Artemis! Go!" All three girls ran out of the room, Ami sprinted down the hall to the right while Lita went left. Rei went back into her room and jumped out her window.
Ami knocked on Serena's door but no answer came so she cautiously opened the door, "Serena!?!? Are you in here? Serena? I guess she's not here. She might be with Darien, I'll go see if he's seen her." Ami ran out of the room and down the hall. Darien's room wasn't even on the same wing as theirs so Ami had to practically go to the other side of the palace. When she finally reached her destination she was out of breathe and opened the door without knocking. She opened to see and very nude Darien peering down and very nude Serena. Ami gasped and began spouting out apologies, "Oh my gosh! Darien I'm so sorry! Gomen nasai! Zannen na! Nasakenai! Sumimaseri! Aite no kotoba wo kikitorenakatta toki ni iu!"
Darien just listened till Ami quit then said, "It's okay Ami. Listen I'll get Serena up and we'll be ready in a few minutes okay?" Ami only nodded, her cheeks a fierce red. Once Ami had left Darien gingerly stroked her face with his finger. He smiled at her reaction to the touch. She moaned softly and slowly her eyes opened. "Hey there, Ami needs us. You need to wake up Koibito," Darien coaxed. Serena only smiled then leaned forward, her lips softly pressed on Darien's.
*****
Gardens
"So Rei what did you feel?" Darien asked the Shinto priestess.
"It was strong, like... ahhh... black magic. It was definitely evil. I know that for sure!" Rei looked at all of her friends. Her fellow magic users. Her fellow warriors. Her fellow scouts.
"Maybe we should scout the palace grounds," everyone looked astonished at the ditzy blonde. None of them could believe that Serena, Miss Klutz, just said something that actually made sense.
"Wow! Meatball Head, you finally had a good idea!" Rei teased.
"Shut up Rei!" Serena screamed.
"Come on guys, stop fighting," Ami pleaded her friends.
"Yea, guys. You'll wait up those cute guys... hummm... never mind Serena scream all you want!" Lita looked dreamy eyed at Mina who also had hearts in her eyes.
"Lets get started," Darien took Serena's hand and started off to look for baddies.
*****
Athene's Room
The two cloaked figures entered the darkened room. Athene removed her hood and moved to light a candle. The figure left its hood on and watched Athene like a hawk. Just as Athene lit the candle the figure spoke, "Why did you summon me? You know the Queen has forbidden it. You'll be punished." The cloaked person's voice was soft, gentle, yet fierce. And strong. Commanding. Ancient.
"You'll be safe here," Athene started then added, "Well, I'll deal with Her Majesty. You worry about how to get us home," Athene grinned to her visitor.
"The job to get you home will take longer than a night. I will need a mortal body," the summoned sat on Athene's bed.
"A mortal body? I don't understand? What are you talking about?" Athene questioned her visitor.
The summoned stood and walked up to Athene, "I can not survive for over a day in this form. I need you to sacrifice another human to me so I can have her or his body to live in. The person must be like me in at least one way. Perhaps a healer or magic user. Something like that. Do you know anyone?"
Athene paced the room. "I know of a healer. Jennifer Darkfall."

Rei burst through and saw not only Ami, but Lita too. Perfect! "Guys, we have trouble! I can feel it! It's strong, Lita go get Mina and Ami you get Serena! I'll find Luna and Artemis! Go!" All three girls ran out of the room, Ami sprinted down the hall to the right while Lita went left. Rei went back into her room and jumped out her window.
Ami knocked on Serena's door but no answer came so she cautiously opened the door, "Serena!?!? Are you in here? Serena? I guess she's not here. She might be with Darien, I'll go see if he's seen her." Ami ran out of the room and down the hall. Darien's room wasn't even on the same wing as theirs so Ami had to practically go to the other side of the palace. When she finally reached her destination she was out of breathe and opened the door without knocking. She opened to see and very nude Darien peering down and very nude Serena. Ami gasped and began spouting out apologies, "Oh my gosh! Darien I'm so sorry! Gomen nasai! Zannen na! Nasakenai! Sumimaseri! Aite no kotoba wo kikitorenakatta toki ni iu!"
Darien just listened till Ami quit then said, "It's okay Ami. Listen I'll get Serena up and we'll be ready in a few minutes okay?" Ami only nodded, her cheeks a fierce red. Once Ami had left Darien gingerly stroked her face with his finger. He smiled at her reaction to the touch. She moaned softly and slowly her eyes opened. "Hey there, Ami needs us. You need to wake up Koibito," Darien coaxed. Serena only smiled then leaned forward, her lips softly pressed on Darien's.

Gardens
"So Rei what did you feel?" Darien asked the Shinto priestess.
"It was strong, like... ahhh... black magic. It was definitely evil. I know that for sure!" Rei looked at all of her friends. Her fellow magic users. Her fellow warriors. Her fellow scouts.
"Maybe we should scout the palace grounds," everyone looked astonished at the ditzy blonde. None of them could believe that Serena, Miss Klutz, just said something that actually made sense.
"Wow! Meatball Head, you finally had a good idea!" Rei teased.
"Shut up Rei!" Serena screamed.
"Come on guys, stop fighting," Ami pleaded her friends.
"Yea, guys. You'll wait up those cute guys... hummm... never mind Serena scream all you want!" Lita looked dreamy eyed at Mina who also had hearts in her eyes.
"Lets get started," Darien took Serena's hand and started off to look for baddies.

Athene's Room
The two cloaked figures entered the darkened room. Athene removed her hood and moved to light a candle. The figure left its hood on and watched Athene like a hawk. Just as Athene lit the candle the figure spoke, "Why did you summon me? You know the Queen has forbidden it. You'll be punished." The cloaked person's voice was soft, gentle, yet fierce. And strong. Commanding. Ancient.
"You'll be safe here," Athene started then added, "Well, I'll deal with Her Majesty. You worry about how to get us home," Athene grinned to her visitor.
"The job to get you home will take longer than a night. I will need a mortal body," the summoned sat on Athene's bed.
"A mortal body? I don't understand? What are you talking about?" Athene questioned her visitor.
The summoned stood and walked up to Athene, "I can not survive for over a day in this form. I need you to sacrifice another human to me so I can have her or his body to live in. The person must be like me in at least one way. Perhaps a healer or magic user. Something like that. Do you know anyone?"
Athene paced the room. "I know of a healer. Jennifer Darkfall."
