I don't own anything.
Later that day Legolas knocked at Rini's door to escort her to the council. She came out wearing a coal colored cloak that covered her whole body and concealed her identity. As he led her to the veranda where the council would take place they spoke.
"I have not seen you in a long time."
"Yes, I've been busy exploring Rivendell. It is quite beautiful."
"Yes it is. Why are you wearing this cloak?"
"Gandalf thought it would be for the best of the others at the council did not see me."
"Why?" Legolas asked in shock.
"He said that my presence might shock the others at the council." Legolas merely nodded figuring that Gandalf was probably right. They soon arrived at the council and Rini looked around at the beings present at the council, she noticed that she was the only female. She saw men, elves, and short men with long beards.
"Those creatures are dwarves, dirty greedy little creatures that dig all day in their mines."
Rini looked up at Legolas in surprise. "Why would you say such a thing? Are they that terrible?"
Leoglas looked down at Rini and said, "Let's just say that elves and dwarves are not the best of friends."
"Why?" But before he could answer the lord of the house cleared his throat asking for silence. Legolas led Rini to their seats with the other elves.
Rini could hear the muffled whispers around her as people tried to figure out who she was. She occasionally caught the stares from the dwarves, men, and elves. Rini merely sat and tried to ignore the whispers and tried to listen as Lord Elrond explained to the council the peril that their world would soon experience. Everyone but the mysterious figure in the black cloak began bickering about the fate of the ring; each thinking the other was not competent to handle such a mission. The council was about to come to an end as Lord Elrond was about to name the nine as the 'Fellowship of the Ring.'
Suddenly out of nowhere a bright white light, brighter than the sun appeared at the center of the room. Everyone looked away from the brilliance of the light and once the light subsided they all saw a man in white standing in the center of the council. He stood as tall as an elf with blue-white hair dressed in all white with a jewel embedded upon his forehead. He frantically looked around with his hazel eyes searching for the one he had come for. Looking around he saw several beings standing to take arms against him. Swords, axes, and arrows were pointed at him. But one in the group stood up in surprise and ran to the stranger.
"ELIOS!!" As she ran her hood fell back to reveal her tear brimmed eyes. She embraced the stranger and began to cry. "How did you find me?" Her muffled voice could be heard asking.
"I merely had to follow your dreams. Everyone is very worried about you. Why are you here?" The two continued to whisper to each other as others around them gasped at the sight of a woman; not only that but also her physical appearance and also the stranger's.
"Lord Elrond, what is the meaning of this? Who are those two?" A dwarf lord demanded.
"I.I am not quite sure who the man is, but as for the woman she is a guest of Legolas." The others drew back their weapons and sat back down.
"Feh, a friend of an elf." A dwarf muttered. Legolas however merely sat and watched as the woman and the strange man called 'Elios' embraced each other ignoring all that was going on around them. Suddenly he felt a strange emotion overwhelm him. Never had he experienced such a feeling. He could not understand what it was but didn't like it.
Clearing his throat Gandalf approached the two at the center of the circle. "Lady Selenity, I believe it is time that you introduced yourself and your friend."
Rini reluctantly turned and face the group. "Kings and lords of distant lands I apologize for the interruption of this council. My formal title is 'Neo-Princess Selenity, guardian of the Earth and Moon.' I am not from your world, rather another dimension where elves, wizards, and dwarves do not exist." Some of the dwarves and elves cried out in surprise while others waited for her to continue.
The man in white then introduced himself. "My name is Elios. I am the high priest of the Golden Kingdom. I, like Princess Selenity am not of your dimension. I am merely here to escort the princess back to her rightful world."
"How was it exactly that you two were able to come here?" Lord Elrond asked.
"I am also the protector of dreams and was able to track the princess through her dreams to your world."
"Dreams?" An elf sitting near them asked.
"Yes, dreams."
"But how?" A man with brown hair and beard asked.
"Everyone, young and old have dreams. In our world evil is able to harness pure dreams for their own purposes. I am there to protect them and make sure children are able to keep dreaming as long as they live."
Legolas watched the couple in the center of the circle and sat in shock. 'A princess?'
"But," Rini continued. "I would like to aid your fellowship in this quest. I don't know why I am here or even how I got here, but please allow me to help."
"Princess, you can't. You are needed back at your kingdom, the ceremony."
"Not as much as I am needed in this world."
"Then I too will go to protect you."
"Thank you Elios."
"No, a woman cannot go on such a quest. She would not survive. One must be crazy in order to let her go." A dwarf angrily remarked.
Rini could sense the anger rising in Elios and whispered to him to calm down. "Believe me dwarf-lord, I can stand my ground. You need not worry about me."
Lord Elrond looked at Gandalf and asked, "What do you think?"
Gandalf rose and approached the two at the center of the circle. "It is a perilous journey. Are you sure?"
"Yes, there was a reason why I was sent to this world and destroying the ring may be a reason why."
"So be it, the Company of the Ring shall be eleven." Many at the council however were not comfortable knowing that a woman would be accompanying the ring. The danger that will befall her was tremendous. The council was called to an end and it was decided that the fellowship would leave the next morning at the break of dawn.
~
Elios and Rini retreated to her room to talk but unbeknownst to them, someone watched them the whole way back to her room.
~
"Elios, tell me. How is everyone back home?"
"We are all worried. We searched frantically for you for days. Mercury's Queen used all her knowledge and the Queen of Pluto search all through the gates of time. No one seemed to be able to find you. Finally Luna suggested that perhaps I could trace your dream."
"Luna. Always on top of things."
"Rini, how did you get here?"
"I told you, I don't know how. But as soon as this is all over you and I will go back together."
"I'm afraid we can't."
"What do you mean? Why can't we?"
"Because I am only able to transport myself through dreams. If I were to attempt transporting you as well with me, terrible consequences may be at hand."
"So I might be trapped here forever?" Rini again burst into tears and Elios took her in his arms.
"I'm sorry Princess. I am sure the others will be able to figure something out. They would not leave you stranded here alone."
"Will you be leaving me too?" Rini asked with a tear stricken face.
"No, remember I promised that I would stay and protect you. Also, I swear that I will not leave you until we figure out how and why you are here. This dimension is very far from our own. I was almost not able to make the journey here."
"Elios, how are my parents?"
"They were a wreck. As soon as they found out you were missing they sent out search parties literally to every nook and cranny of the galaxy. When I told them that I was able to find you and that you were fine, they relaxed a bit. They didn't sleep or eat. If I hadn't been able to find you I am afraid to think of what might have been."
"Thank you Elios. You are a good friend."
Elios secretly winced at those words. 'A mere friend. She and I will never be more then friends. I should have never suggested long ago that we remain merely friends.' He looked down at the young woman in his arms to find her asleep. Smiling, he set her done on her bed. Not knowing where to go, he stepped towards the window and took in the sight of this new world. 'This truly is a beautiful world.' He thought as the sun began to set.
~
In the next room an anxious elf sat wondering what was going on in the room of the pink haired maiden. Even with his elfish hearing he could not make out anything that was being said in the other room; due to the fact that the walls in the House of Elrond were magically endowed so elves could not listen through the walls.
Legolas sighed and laid down on his bed. 'What am I doing? Why am I acting this way?'
~
Several hobbits gathered outside the sleeping princess's room and argued about who should knock on the door. Frodo finally said that he would be the one to knock on the door and proceeded to do so. After several seconds the door was opened. The hobbits jumped back in surprise. Instead of finding the young princess at the door they found the mysterious man from earlier standing in the door way.
"Yes? May I help you?" He asked as he eyed the strangers in suspicion. He could sense an evil presence among one of them
"Umm. uh. we were here to talk to the princess. Is she available?" Frodo stuttered.
"I'm afraid she is unavailable at the moment. She is asleep in exhaustion."
Before anyone could stop him, Pippin asked, "Why are you in her room?"
The others winced at the thought of what this stranger might do. Instead they were surprised to hear him laugh. "I am a good friend of hers and we were merely talking earlier before she fell asleep. I do not know where to go so I decided to stay here."
"Oh," was all Pippin could say.
"Well, thank you. We'll be leaving now. Good night." Sam timidly added.
"Alright then. I will let her know that you had stopped by once she awakens. Good night." Elios said before he closed the door.
"I don't see why you all are afraid of him. He seemed nice enough," Pippin said.
"Don't tell me you weren't," Merry asked.
"Of course I wasn't. Why should I be? If he's a friend of Rini's then he must be alright."
"I guess you're right."
~
Inside the room Rini stirred and opened her eyes. Looking around she saw Elios staring out the window at the night sky. "I'm sorry, I didn't even realize that I fell asleep. Was I gone long?"
"It's alright. You must have been exhausted."
"I guess I was. What did you do while I was asleep?"
"I looked out the window at this world. It is quite beautiful."
"Yes it is."
"Four young boys were here to see you earlier. I think they may be afraid of me though."
Rini laughed. "Afraid of you?" Elios nodded and blushed. "I can't see how anyone could be afraid of you."
"Thanks."
"Four boys?" Rini mumbled to herself trying to think who that could be. "Oh, you must mean the hobbits. They are sweet boys. Very nice but very different from each other."
"Hobbits?"
"They are creatures that, to us, look like mere children but in fact may be fully grown adults in their society. They are shorter than dwarves."
"Oh, are their many different creatures in this world?"
"Well I only know of four other species; men, dwarves, elves, and wizards."
"Wizards, aren't they men?"
"That's what I thought, but Legolas explained to me that they weren't."
"Who's this Legolas?"
"Oh, he's an elf that I have met here. He's actually the one that found me in a forest and led me here. If it hadn't been for him I don't know what I would have done."
"Oh, then I am very grateful to him. Rini, what is the peril that this world is undergoing, the peril that we are to help?"
"It is rather hard to explain actually. I found out only minutes before you arrived in this world. That was why the council was held, to discuss what would be done about it."
Elios waited patiently for her to continue.
"Long ago in this world several rings of power were made and given to different races; the dwarves, elves, and men. They were created to help the monarchs rule their kingdom. However an evil being called Sauron created another ring, a ring more powerful then any of the others. The ring was an extension of him. He put into the ring his power and in a sense the ring was a part of him and he a part of it. He used that ring to rule over all the races and create terror and havoc all throughout their world. A war was fought to destroy the evil ruler and to destroy the ring. Sauron was defeated but not killed. His ring was taken from him. The world had a chance to destroy the ring forever but man's lust for power let the ring survive. The evil lord has risen again and is searching for his ring. One of the hobbits you saw earlier at my door possess that ring."
Elios sat the end of her bed and pondered what she had just told him. He then remembered the evil presence he had felt earlier from the group of hobbits. 'So, it is the ring which I sensed the evil from.' Finally he asked, "Why do they not just destroy the ring here and now?"
"Because it cannot be destroyed by ordinary flame or strength. The ring can only be destroyed in the flames in which it was created. That is were we must take it."
Elios nodded and said. "I will go with you to see that no harm comes to you, princess."
Rini blushed and thanked him. "Elios, I fear that our old nemesis is here on this planet."
"What do you mean?"
"Chaos."
"But your mother destroyed him eons ago. He is gone forever."
"No he isn't. Chaos, like Love can never be destroyed forever. My mother merely banished him from our world. Sadly I'm afraid that he has found refuge in this world. I believe that is why I was sent here, Elios. I don't know how I will be able to defeat him though. I cannot even transform anymore, at least not without my old locket."
Elios grinned, "No Rini, I'm afraid you're wrong. You can transform. You may not have your locket but you have something else." Rini looked at him questioningly. Elios pulled out a chain that hung around his neck from inside his shirt. On the chain was something that Rini was shocked to see.
"That's mama's old brooch!"
"Not only that, the Silver Crystal is within it."
"The Crystal? But how?"
"Your mother gave it to me before I left. She told me to give it to you if I found you and I sensed that you may be in danger."
"But Crystal Tokyo. What will happen if an enemy were to attack?"
"Rini, don't worry about that. The former Sailor Scouts are all on guard for such an attack. That is why you must return home as soon as possible."
"I understand. But I can't leave this world to plunder into darkness."
"Do what you must in this world, I will help you."
"Thank you." With that Elios handed Rini the Silver Crystal. Rini recalled what had happened the last time she touched the crystal, it fused within her and she nearly caused the destruction of her world. Rini looked at the pureness of the crystal and how the last rays of the setting sun created beautiful colors within the crystal.
"Rini, but you must know, your powers as Sailor Moon will be different from those of your mother's."
"Why?"
"Do you remember on your birthday, when the Queens all gave you a part of their planet's power?"
"Yes."
"Exactly, now you will also have their abilities."
Rini stood in awe thinking, 'So I have the powers of all the Sailor Scouts within me?'
"Well, give it a go. See if you can transform."
"Now?"
"Why not? It's better to have practiced and know how to once the time comes."
Figuring that he is right Rini stood with crystal at hand. "I do not know what to say or do."
"Your mother told me to tell you that you can also transform into any of the forms of Sailor Moon. Just hold the brooch out in both hands and say either 'Moon Crystal Power,' 'Moon Crisis, make up,' or 'Moon Eternal, make up!'"
With that Rini decided to transform into the ultimate form of Sailor Moon and said "Moon Eternal, make up!" Soft pink lights and white feathers enveloped the room and Rini. There Rini stood as the new Eternal Sailor Moon.
"You look good."
"Thanks Elios." Rini grinned. "I feel sorta weird, like I'm taking mama's place."
"You are the heir to throne as well as the title of Sailor Moon. You are no longer Chibi Moon, Rini. You ARE Sailor Moon."
"I had forgotten how short these skirts where."
Later that day Legolas knocked at Rini's door to escort her to the council. She came out wearing a coal colored cloak that covered her whole body and concealed her identity. As he led her to the veranda where the council would take place they spoke.
"I have not seen you in a long time."

With that Rini decided to transform into the ultimate form of Sailor Moon and said "Moon Eternal, make up!" Soft pink lights and white feathers enveloped the room and Rini. There Rini stood as the new Eternal Sailor Moon.
"You look good."
"Thanks Elios." Rini grinned. "I feel sorta weird, like I'm taking mama's place."
"You are the heir to throne as well as the title of Sailor Moon. You are no longer Chibi Moon, Rini. You ARE Sailor Moon."
"I had forgotten how short these skirts where."
