Serena: Queen of the Nile
Chapter Two: Time to remember what was lost.
By Graham Parsons
She lied there, stunned. What did all of this mean?? She began to remember all of the battles she had been through, were they all a lie?? Was her true destiny to be found in Egypt? She finally decided that this was a matter that concerned the scouts. After all, this involved them as well.
*Later at the Hiwaka Shrine*
"So, Serena, what is all this talk about Egypt.??" Ami said
Well, yesterday, I came home to find a strange box on my front porch. It was engraved with markings that I found quite familiar, but I didn't know why. I tried countless times to open it, but just couldn't. Then all of a sudden, the words on the box began to make sense, and I said them aloud, without even thinking. One thing led to another and the box opened, this letter was inside, Serena handed it to Ami.
"Hmmm. she exclaimed. This letter is quite intriguing. It seems that a new evil has emerged, and this Queen thinks that we are powerful enough to combat it."
"Why do you think all this is happening.?" Asked Lita
"I don't know, but do we really have the chance to ignore it?? This woman is depending on us, I think that she may be in grave danger, we should at least meet with her, and maybe we can find the answers we need." Replied Ami
Serena sat there with her palms pressed firmly against her forehead; suddenly she leaped up and said: "we've already spent too much time lazing about, this letter tells us to meet a man named Sashimi at the Tokyo international later this afternoon, and I think we should go"
The girls all nodded their heads in admiration; Serena was truly acting her age.
"This new evil better watch out, because the Sailor Scouts are on their way to Egypt to stop it."
Later that afternoon, the girls were on a plane headed towards Egypt, although it was not a peaceful trip with Serena's snoring, or bothering Sashimi with constant questions like;
"Where did you get that hat from?
Can I borrow your hat?
Rei, can you move over just a little.?"
Oh boy, it was going to be a long flight, just when you think she takes a step forward, she does something stupid and it's ten steps back. ^_^
*10 Hours later*
Finally, the girls and Sashimi arrived in Egypt airport and took a sleek, stunningly long Rolls Royce towards the palace of Queen Isis.
"There is the palace where we will be staying, the Queen is waiting for your arrival, and she especially cannot wait to meet you Serena.
"Really. me?" She replied
"She probably just wants to prescribe a better mouthwash!!!" Exclaimed Rei
"Oh you're such a whiner Rei!!!"
"Would you mind breathing downwind, I can't stand it any longer.!!!"
"You insensitive BRAT!!!" Said Serena
Ami, Lita and Mina Shouted. "WILL YOU TWO KNOCK IT OFF"????!!!!
"Quiet. all of you" announced Sashimi; we have reached our destination.
The girls all fell silent while turning a bright red in the face. They entered the palace from the front entrance and were astonished by the amount of detail, and the sheer beauty of the whole place, it was just as amazing as Serena had ever imagined, and strangely, it felt just like home.
"Queen Isis will see you know girls." Sashimi pointed to a large door at the end of the hall... they pulled the levers and the door swept open quickly to reveal a large chair, and a silhouetted figure arose, and began to speak.
"I've been waiting for a long while to see you Serena, oh, and you have brought your friends, lovely, everything will work out according to plan, with only two days to spare as well."
"What is that supposed to mean" Asked Lita
"Well it's quite simple really; you are going to be the ones to destroy this new evil."
"And what exactly is this new evil." exclaimed Mina.
The queen sighed; "I had hoped that I would not have to reopen this chapter of my life again, but since you are here. well alright. Her eyes became moist as she began to speak. Many years ago, this city in Egypt lived happily and prospered with vibrant townsfolk, and a bustling economy, that was until my sister arrived."
"You're Sister??". Serena was confused.
"Yes, let me just say firstly that our family were all bestowed gifts that allowed us to protect the cities we have been assigned to, much like you girls. My power, is the ability to read minds. Anyway, my sister had ruined her chance for a prosperous city, and came to me for help. I took pity on her, and welcomed her into my home, but she began to take over, and the power went to her head, she had become evil and unpure, and there was nothing I could do about it. To stop her I gathered all of our finest warriors to wield a force so powerful that it could force her away from our city. But our forces are becoming weak, and we can only hold the barrier we have set for so little a time. My sister swore vengeance for the betrayal I incurred on our family, and proclaimed that she would return on the day that ends my thirty first year reigning. I became worried, and sought out a way to protect my city, so I found an ancient prophecy, that detailed how I could beat my sister."
"A prophecy." Ami asked
"Yes, the prophecy states that on the eve of the chosen ones birthday, twenty one years into her life, the Egyptian goddess shall be reborn."
"SERENA TURNS TWENTY ONE!!!!!!!!" The girls all screamed.
"Serena's the chosen one in the prophecy?" Lita asked, and then what does the prophecy have to do with us?
"It is quite simple really, each three dimensional pyramid has a total of five points. The goddess, who is Serena, lies at the top, emitting powerful waves of energy to combat evil. Then, four other points divide from the center, which make up the four of you girls, Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter. Each point is essentially balanced if there is to be any kind of harmony. Like a pyramid each point is linked to each other. In other words, you all need to stick together to survive."
"I will give you time to let this sink in."
The girls surrounded Serena to give her some comforting words.
"You know, Serena started, this isn't as bad as I thought things would be, I guess the only consolation I get from all of this, is that we have the chance to make things better for this queen."
"Well, we're all really proud of you," the girls pointed out. and we always will be.
And with only two days until Serena's Birthday, and Queen Isis' 3oth year as reigning Queen, there is a lot of things to prepare for, this is one birthday Serena is never going to forget.
