~*~*~*~*~*Prologue*~*~*~*~*~

A lone figure stood, emotionless on the hillside just beyond The Moon Kingdom...or rather, the remains of The Moon Kingdom. Tears fell silently from her eyes, those souless....jaded eyes...

"I'm too late..." She whispered, her expression turning ghostly white with fear and guilt. "They're gone..."

The figure's body began to tremble, she bowed her head and squoze her eyes shut in an atempt to ward off the horrific images before her.

Her footsteps were loud and harsh against the broken floor and shattered marble. The scent of death and blood so potent it made her nearly gag as she aproached the remains of the castle. She ran her fingers over the coiling staircase as she walked by, turning her face against the horiffically mutilated corpses that draped over the top railings.

She aproached the mural on the back of the castle, the air slowly going thin in her lungs. She remembered this picture.... it was a portrait of the Princess and her fellow Sailor Scouts.

"Mercury....Jupiter....Venus...." The figure named them off as she ran her hand over their image. "Mars..."

A knot tightened in her chest, her eyes weilding with tears as she leaned forward, lightly kissing the image of the Sailor Scout of Fire. "I'm so sorry....forgive me.... Mother."

Raye awoke in a pool of cold sweat. Her eyes blank, fixed on the ceiling in a vacent stare.

'Another vision...' She thought, trying to shake off the numb feeling that threatened to take over her body.

She stood, steadying herself against the dizziness that fogged her mind. She pulled her robe on and she stepped out of her room, slowly closing the door behind her, being careful not to make a sound.

~"I'm sorry....forgive me.... Mother."~

The figure's voice replaying over and over in her head. Raye felt a chill run through her. She closed her eyes and pictured the figure in her mind's eye....

Her eyes were the color of ember, she had long, firey colored hair with two two strips of goldish blond through the front. She had such a look of devistation on her face....

'She looks so familliar to me....' Raye thought as she entered the room where the temple fire was kept. She kneeled infront of the flames, clasping her hands together infront of her, bowing her head.

"Please....show me the answer...." She whispered, looking deep into the flames as they great slightly higher, "Why am I having these profectic dreams....why ME? Who is she...?"

The temple fire crackled and flared up, before showing a lone figure in the middle of it's blaze. Raye swinted her eyes, trying to make out the image before her, but...before it could become any clearer, the image faded out, and the blaze of the fire died down to no more than coals.

Raye's eyes instantly widened, her mouth hanging agape. "....a Sailor Scout?!"
