Chapter 8...
With a Squeal of joy, Serena instantly leaped into Pagan's arms hugging her tightly.
"Ohhhhh Paige its BEAUTIFUL, Thank you, I Love it...I've never seen anything like this before."
"Of course you have princess...In the moon kingdom...there your rooms were much more lavish than this though."
Hearing the Deep Masculine voice, Serena looked down seeing Tal'lan near her. On Impulse, Serena kneeled down and wrapped her arms around the large panther's neck, hugging him tight.
"Thanks Tal'lan...I know you helped with this..."
Tal'lan rubbed his cheek against Serena's cheek a second before pulling back, breaking the embrace, to lean against Pagan's side.
"Now, what would you like to do now Serey Kitty?"
Thinking a second, Serena glanced at the clock on her mantle and saw that it was only 9:30.
"Ummm..It is at all possible to go back to the fair Paige? I mean Pagan."
"Yes, if you want...its your night tonight hun, and you can call me Paige if you like, only I would prefer it if you only called me that name in public..."
Nodding in agreement, the three, slowly walked down a corridor, that Serena had yet to see.
As they continued downward, Serena was surprised to find the Symbols of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Pluto, on the doors, looking to her left, Serena could see an Identical set of of Markings upon the doors.
"Pagan...why do these have the planetary markings? And why two of each?" Serena asked Curious.
"They are the bedrooms of your and your cousin's courts, should they ever stay here." Tal'lan replied.
"You see Serena...with both of us being the ruling heirs of the moon kingdom, we each received our own set of protectors.
"For yourself, you granted the Sailor Scouts, an all female fighting force, one of each planet.while I myself had been granted the protection of the Shadowcourt Knights,
Since you and I were basically the opposite in most things it was decreed by fate that I recieve a guard of all men." Pagan explained.
"Are the Shadowcourt Knights here on earth? Are they with you now?"
"I've felt that they are indeed on earth...though sadly I haven't reawaken them yet...Though I do miss them...Especially Chiru...my Flame knight, and best friend."
"I have been trying to convince Pagan to bring forth their memories, and true selves...in case there is ever a danger in which, that you and your court can not defeat alone...back in the Moon Kingdom, the Scouts and the Knights where a very impressive fighting force, though it was rare that they joined together."
Looking up at Pagan, as she listened to Tal'lan's story, Serena could see the dark silver eyes, turn sad, and slightly reflective.
Looking down at Tal'lan Serena links her mind to his and asks.
'Tal...is there anyway, that WE could bring them back?...Look at Pagan...she wants them here, I can feel it, but for some reason she is hesitant to summon her court.'
'The reason for this, your highness, is because like you, all Pagan wants for her guardians is a chance for a calm peaceful life, away from all the fighting, but I agree they should be here, it is hard for Pagan to continue alone.'
'So again I ask, Royal advisor to the Shadowmoon Princess, is there a way for US to bring them back?' Serena says mentally putting all the royal commanding tone she can in the thought.
Smiling Inwardly, Tal'lan responds 'Yes, Princess and heir to the throne of the lightmoon court, there is a way, though should Pagan find out before it is finished, she will not be happy with us.'
Unaware of the private conversation going on, Pagan speaks to Tal'lan. "Tal, why don't you go with us? I know that you need to get out and get some fresh air as well. Besides it would be fun."
Tal'lan slightly shudders, for a moment but agrees. Stopping a moment, the Large Panther closes his eyes and concentrates, once more instantly turning into a small black Tomcat.
Seconds after the transformation had completed, with a graceful bunching of muscles, Tal'lan leaps lightly onto Pagan's right shoulder and settles down.
Grabbing her wallet and keys, the merry trio, walks out of the house, and get into Pagan's car, a 1976 black corvette. With a Purr as sleek and powerful as one of Tal'lan's throat, the car's engine roars to life, suddenly speeding down the drive, the wind blowing around the topless car, heading back to the lights and merriment of the carnival.
With a Squeal of joy, Serena instantly leaped into Pagan's arms hugging her tightly.
