I'm back again! I know that may not be such a good thing, but I am anyway. I had someone ask me to update this story, so I am. I really hope that you like it. It's based on some of my favorite shows and books at the same time. I really hope that you guys enjoy this.

I'm going to tell you this, the only reason this chapter is coming out is because I felt sorry for the person who e-mailed me asking me to get the next chapter out. I don't have too long to write it, so I probably won't be able to get the next chapter out until after the end of the school year. Please enjoy the chapter.

A Different Destiny

****

**Last Time**

Usagi's brow furrowed in confusion. Why would she not tell him? Then she remembered what Legolas had said. Arwen was in love with her father and he with her, and Arwen, from what she remembered from the Silver Millennium, was her cousin, and Elrond's daughter.

**This Time**

Usagi nodded and said, "I guess that it's for the best that you don't know."

Elrond seemed to be confused at this, but he didn't say anything about it. He guessed that what she said was the truth. It may be best that he doesn't find out till the time is come. "My dear niece, you are welcome to stay here for as long as you need. I do hope that your search for him is successful. When you are ready to tell me who he is, I will be here to hear."

Usagi smiled and said, "I'm glad that you are my uncle. I really wouldn't have it any other way. I will tell you when the time is right."

He nodded and said, "My dear, Legolas will show you around when you are fully healed."

Usagi smiled and said, "Thank you uncle."

As he left, the others followed and Usagi smiled. She was glad that she got to see her mother's brother who she hadn't seen since she was about eight. She thought of the irony of finding him but not her father. She hadn't recognized the name before because when she was a young girl she had always called him 'Uncle Ron,' or just 'Uncle.' It was wonderful to see him again. She really wished that her mother could be here now, but she knew that it was all for the best, whether she saw it or not.

Usagi went to sleep on that note, but her dreams were not as serene and calm as her surroundings.

**Dream**

She was walking through a wood that she didn't recognized. She felt that she was connected to everything around her. As she was walking, she realized that the wood was way too quiet. There were no birds or beasts or anything around her. She knew that this was a bad sign, and she started to head in the direction towards her home.

She finally made it to her home to find it falling apart. It was the palace on the moon, but it didn't hold any of the splendors that it had but an hour before. It was under attack by a vicious force known as Matalia.

She somehow knew that her protectors were already gone. You could almost say that it was a psychic link she had with them. She also knew that her prince was still alive, but there was something wrong. The life force she felt from him was different, almost dark. She didn't want to believe what it might mean, but she had too. She hurriedly found him, but her intuition was correct. He was with Beryl attacking the palace specifically her mother.

Serenity watched in horror as her mother fell to the ground. She wasn't dead yet, but Serenity knew that she would be soon. She didn't realize how soon until her eyes caught the gem her mother was holding. She was unable to reach her mother before the words were said, and everything disappeared into darkness. The last thing Serenity said was screaming, "MOTHER!"

**End Dream**

"MOTHER!" Usagi sat straight up in her bed as she screamed. Immediately, three people ran into her room. One was the guard that she had remembered sitting outside her door, one was her uncle, Elrond, and the last was unexpected, it was Legolas. She was too shocked, however, to realize this. The dream was nothing like she thought the end of her kingdom was. Endymion was evil.

When Usagi finally recovered from her shock, she looked to her uncle and said, "What happened to the kingdom on the Moon? I know you know the answer."

Elrond frowned and said, "I do know, but it is best told at a time during daylight. I will tell you after you have recovered."

Usagi frowned and said, "I want to know sooner than that. Tell me now."

Elrond shook his head and said, "I will not tell you tonight, but I will tell you tomorrow."

Usagi sighed and said, "Ok." She didn't notice Legolas until the door shut. She looked up at her uncle and said, "Who else was in here?"

Elrond smiled that mysterious smiled and said, "Why it was Legolas, Serenity, Did you not notice him before now?"

Usagi just kept her curious look and said, "No, I didn't? When did he come in?"

"Right after I did, Serenity," Elrond answered her question. "I really think that you should go back to sleep now, you need your rest. As for your dream, we will talk about it later. I will talk to you again soon, for now, sleep and get well."

Usagi smiled and went back to sleep. She was asleep before her uncle left the room. The guard followed him out and took his place at the door. He was definitely not going to go back to sleep on the job. Last time, it got him into big trouble. He also knew that tonight was going to be a very long night for him and every other guard. Nothing ever happened around here. With that, he took his guard position.

Serenity's sleep was long and dreamless. She was rejuvenated when she woke up, and she was ready to start her day, and her search for Aragorn.

She walked out of her room and looked at the guard, "Where is my uncle?"

The guard looked at her surprised to see her up and walking around and said, "He is in the dining hall with Arwen."

Usagi smiled and said, "Thank you, good elf." With those words, she walked off in the direction that the previous night she had been told was the way to the dining hall. She wanted to find out what was the true past. There was no way that she was about to let her uncle out of telling her the truth. She knew that she wasn't going to like it, but it was necessary for her to fulfill her future with her entire heart.

When she reached the dining hall, she found her uncle eating with one of her cousins, Arwen. She decided that it could wait till after breakfast, and she accepted the invitation to join them. She knew her uncle was just trying to postpone what she wanted to know, but she was too hungry to argue with them. She sat down, but decided not to pig out on her food and ate it properly for the first time in years.

After breakfast, she found her uncle out in the hall and said, "Good morning, Uncle."

Elrond didn't turn around to answer, but he responded with, "Good morning, Serenity."

Serenity gave him one of her serious looks and said, "You know what I want to know, please tell me. I have to know, you know I do."

Elrond sighed. He knew she was telling the truth, but he really didn't want to tell her. So instead he asked her, "Why do you have such a sudden interest in it?"

Usagi answered, "Because I had a dream last night about what happened, and it was different from what my mother had told me had happened."

Elrond nodded and said, "Your dream showed Endymion attacking your mother?" Usagi nodded, shocked and disappointed that he knew what happened in her dream. She was disappointed because it meant that really happened, and that wasn't what she had wanted. "Well, your dream is what happened all those years ago. Your mother was killed by Endymion, but to preserve time, she gave you different memories until you came here."

"But why reveal them now? I mean, time was going on course according to Setsuna?" Usagi asked.

Elrond said, "Because if that timeline happened, a worse future would come out of it. I know that you can't see it now, but that is the way that it would be. You would be depressed, and Chibi Usa would never really treat you as her mother because you aren't."

Usagi was shocked. She wasn't Chibi Usa's mother! How could this be? Who is? She voiced her questions saying, "How is that possible?"

Elrond frowned. He knew that this wasn't going to be easy to make her understand, but he had too. "Usagi, I can't tell you who she belongs too, but I can tell you that she isn't yours. I want you to understand, that was only one of the possible futures that could happen. By coming here, that future is now out of the question. You will find out why in time, so don't ask me." He stopped her question before she even asked it, he knew what she was going to ask, and he couldn't answer it.

Usagi was just confused. This is a lot of information to take in, and she wasn't quiet expecting all of this. The future she knew wasn't going to happen now because she came in search of her father. Supposedly, she didn't really want to live that future anyway. Perhaps everything will work out for the best.

She decided to leave it at that more because she didn't want to find out anymore. She didn't want to know anything else because nothing yet has come of good. Finally Usagi said, "I have to start my search soon, and I will be leaving soon."

Elrond finally turned and looked at her and said, "I want you to meet my friend before you leave. He will be here tomorrow. Will you stay and meet him?"

Usagi thought for a moment and said, "I will need a day to prepare for my journey anyway, so I will stay and meet your friend, Uncle."

Elrond smiled and said, "If you will follow me, I will have Legolas show you around the city."

Usagi squealed in delight and said, "Finally! Now I get to see the city. It took long enough!" Usagi looked up and noticed that her uncle had started to walk away, and she said, "Wait up!"

She ran after him in a hurry so that she could finally get her promised tour of the city. She remembered that Legolas had promised her a tour the first night, and she wanted to hold him to it.

To be continued
