Disclaimer: I own nothing

I had all this written down.. AND THEN MY STUPID COMPUTER WENT AND ERASED IT ALL! *sob * I hate word 2000

ummm ack ok there has been a time change ^^; this now takes place BEFORE the silver millennium just after the fall of Atlantis and in the same time period in middle earth.. Sorry!

THE LADY SPEAKS: " It has been a while since I last spoke to Pluto. I see this as a good thing, as a child I was always taught to reflect before I acted upon an urge and this has stood me in good stead. I was also taught that we should act like swans; Beautiful, elegant and serene. What they neglected to tell us is that there is a lot of activity going on below the surface.

I did it for the best, The Senshi are dead and Pluto is still grieving.

Although I had no hand in their deaths, they were completely natural.

Everyone must die sooner or later.

Even me.

But it was what I did to their souls that cost me energy. I removed them from that era and put them back.

Back to before the Silver Millennium, just after my Beautiful city had fallen.

Sauron caused it to fall, that swine he played me and he took what was most precious to me!

One Ring to Rule them all One Ring to Bind them One Ring to bring them all And in the Darkness bind them.

Oh Sauron you have grown neglectful you forget that through all your darkness that there must be a light to see the darkness by.

And unfortunately for you I, Birdy otherwise known as the Princess Escariina, am that light

And my people will be avenged."

Birdy regarded herself critically in the mirror through her wide garnet eyes. She blinks before reaching up and running her long pale fingers through her black green tinted hair in frustration, before she began to plait her knee-length hair. Finishing it she flipped the braid over and frowned at her reflection, which was now doubled. Realization hit her

"Pluto! I thought you weren't going to come!" The Senshi of time smiled at her sadly

"All good things come to an end" she sighed, "I just hope one day I might join them."

"Pluto, it saddens me to hear you talk like this. Please be joyful I have a surprise for you! It's a nice one too!"

"Why would it be anything else?" Pluto wondered aloud as she followed her almost exact double from the room.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

They came to a halt in front of a large oak door. Birdy paused laying her hand on the gold ring that served as a doorknob. She sighed and shoved it open, stepping quickly aside so Pluto could see the large wooden loom that filled the room. Pluto's eyes widened and she opened her mouth stunned that she was being shown something so ancient.

"That's the Loom? THE Loom? The loom that weaves everyone's fates?"

"Yes the very same" sighed Birdy, " but its what has been woven in that is more important." Taking Trista's hand she led her over and with one finger delicately traced a small amount of silver thread that was being woven in to a lower part of the Tapestry.

"The Princess has been reborn?" Birdy nodded

"Yes into the past before the Silver Millennium."

"But why? How?"

"Because," Birdy faltered and looked down at the silver thread " Sauron grew too strong it has always been like this I knew as soon as the Princess was born I'd have to do this when she died naturally for the first time." Pluto stood there speechless as Birdy continued, "So now we must go to what they call Middle Earth, where the Elves still live and refer to my people as the shining ones a few who were in Atlantis survived. Those that weren't fully of our blood and were partially human fled in great boats to the main land where a few of our cities remained." Birdy sighed closing her mind to the horrifying images that threatened to engulf her.

"So when does our journey begin?" Pluto's tone was resolute

"Right now" Birdy smiled at her friend and Pluto smiled back, gripping Birdy and hugging her tightly before they left the room pulling the door firmly shut.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

Pluto stared at the 'horse' "I am not riding that... Thing!" "Tristaaaa." It was whined "No" "Pleeeeease?" "No!" "Why noooot?" "ARGH! Stop whining! Okay, okay I'll ride it but I won't be happy riding it!" Birdy giggled "You'll hate what's coming next even more then" "What.." Pluto never got to finish her sentence as a huge beam of blue- white light engulfed them and dragged them up into the air. Birdy was laughing softly at Trista's face. "Lovely view isn't it?" she called out as they were dragged down from the planet of Gaea in an arc towards the planet earth. "We're passing through time! I can feel it" "Well how else did you expect us to get there? The horses would be frightened of the gates!"

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

They had been riding for three hours and conversation had run out two hours ago. Trista blinked as she heard something and turned to her friend raising her eyebrows as Birdy lived up to her title of Little Song Bird and began to sing.

"Win dain a lotica En val tu ri Si lo ta Fin dein a loluca En dragu a sei lain Vi fa-ru les shutai am En riga-lint." Birdy paused as a river came into view.

"This is it. The house of Elrond the Half-Elven." Both women carried on picking their way across the river and came to a stop before the great house.

Yet another chapter * sigh* The song is called Sora and is sung in Escaflowne the Movie A Girl in Gaea there is a translation somewhere and the rest of the song will be put into the next chapters. Love it? Hate it? Want to hurl abuse at me? (flamers are welcome it gets cold in England ^_^)
