"Trusting the future of the universe to meer children? You are
incompetent aren't you Serenity?" Beryl laughed.
"We can't do it, Mother," Rini said.
"Yes, yes, you can!"
Beryl laughed, "You know there was a prophecy passed down in the Negaverse given by the Negaforce itself. It says that the Moon will tear away from the Earth and both will be left weak. That one Queen will perish and another will prevail. You'll die Serenity. You'll all die!"
"Not on this ground we won't," Queen Serenity said.
"But while your standing on that ground the rest of the Moon suffers and dies. What are you going to do about that?"
There voices were silently, but the rumbling of the explosions and the cries of the people continued on.
Princess Serenity spoke up, "I'm going to step out."
"Step out?!" Endymion said, "Are you crazy? You'll die Serena."
"But who will be saved? Rini, Darien, if you step out with me I can protect you and you can send this witch away."
"But we don't know how," Rini said.
"You just wish it and will it with all your heart. It will happen if the Crystal lets it."
"But what if the crystal doesn't let it?" Darien asked. "What if it rejects us?"
Serenity quieted, "That's a chance you'll have to take for the universe."
After a moment passed Rini and Darien nodded solemnly. They both took hold of the crystal and together with Serenity stepped off of the sacred ground. There's was a whooshing sound and the Seven Shadow Warriors appeared. The only thought in their minds was to kill the three, but the couldn't cross the silvery barrier Serenity had put up.
Rini and Darien closed their eyes and in their minds and hearts they felt the pain of the people, they felt the weight of what they had to do, and they knew they had to do it. The crystal grew brighter as their signs did, but Beryl laughed.
"You fools! No barrier can stop me!" She pulled a knife from it's sheath and threw it with a ball of energy at Serenity. It broke the barrier and brought it crashing down like glass.
"No!" Endymion yelled. He reached outside of the sacred ground and pulled Rini and Darien in. Serenity fell to the ground and the Shadow Warriors swarmed. Endymion drew his sword and a golden sign like Darien's appeared on his forehead. "Leave her alone!"
He rushed into the Shadow Warriors and stood beside Serenity. His forehead was shining so brightly the Warriors had to jump back and cover their eyes. A golden barrier appeared and Endymion bent down beside Serenity. He pulled the knife out of her chest and ripped his shirt to wrap around her.
"Don't die Serenity. They need you to teach them. To teach them to use their hearts like I never did. I was stupid Serenity and I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I ever put you through. Everything."
She looked up at him and a tear streamed from the corner of her eye, "Better late than never."
Author's Note: So I admit this chapter is a little short, but I wanted to leave you wanting more and get you to review. Yes, I know, I shouldn't hold chapters hostage. Sorry it's a habit.
