Hi, hi! Thanks to my newest reviewers: Pele's Worshipper, Bonnie-Shae,
Mistal:sadpoemethatreflectme, and as always, Galea. Well, this is it. The
end. * tear * It's-it's been fun. * wails * I don't want it to end! No! No!
No! * suddenly dragged off by Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter * Hey! Wait!
I didn't introduce the chapter...!
Chapter 5: Relief (end)
I gazed at each part of the stream, as I had done when I was looking for answers previously, hoping that I wouldn't find a rip so large it stretched through several dimensions. But there was nothing. The stream was fine. In fact, I could see our future again. I stared, dumbfounded at the Moon Kingdom that I couldn't see moments prior.
In changing the past, I brought back the future.
I couldn't understand why, though. The only explanation that I could think of was the stream reacted to my choice before I even made it. Darien's death was something that caught the stream off guard. That was why I hadn't seen it in time. This confused me, since I was under the assumption that the stream knew exactly what was going to happen to all within it. I suppose nothing is all knowing.
I smiled. It was a genuine smile of relief. I knew that, at any point, something could change the course of time, but I didn't know that time didn't like to be changed. The stream wanted me to bring Darien back. That was why it blocked off the future. It wanted me to see that Darien had to live. Or the future wouldn't happen.
I wish I'd known that so I didn't put myself through all of the mental berating.
My smile grew wider until I started to laugh. The Time Stream threw a temper tantrum. The very thought was so ludicrous that I just had to laugh. I always considered the Time Stream as conscious, but throwing a temper tantrum was something that even I wasn't prepared for. I guess, no matter how much experience and training one could have in their field of expertise, there are still some things they have to learn. I was one who, in spite of everything, had more learning to do.
I opened a window to the world where the people I cared for most resided, and smiled still. They were so blissfully unaware of the events that had transpired. They had been extremely close to being caught in a continuous time loop and had no clue about it. That was how circumstances come about, though. I'd saved them countless times and they never knew. And I will never tell them.
I didn't fail as I thought I had. Funny how occasionally that works out. It would have been better if I hadn't panicked, but I had, and with good reason. I could deal with that. I managed to fulfill my duties as a member of Queen Serenity's court and my duties as the senshi of time.
I should know not to second guess the Time Stream.
I should have known, but I didn't.
^^^^^^^^^^^
I was able to fight of those renegade senshi and I'm back for some closing comments. So, that's it. Was the overall story satisfying? I tried my best. I'd like to thank all of my reviewers once more; you guys are the greatest. Umm.thanks especially to bluephoenix, The GeneralFro, and Galea for their ongoing support. If you liked this and want to read more of my writing, I'll be coming out with some new stuff soon, including another possible Sailor Moon fic. If you want to read something now, there's always my pride and joy: Vicious (although, this one was more successful than Vicious, therefore, it's probably better, but Vicious was my first story here and...I'm babbling aren't I?) Thanks again for reading. Ciao!
