Serena: Queen of the Nile
Chapter Three: Let the Training begin
By Graham Parsons
**************************************************************************** *************************
June 28th, two days until Serena's twenty-first birthday, and the arrival of Queen Isis' evil sister.
"Serena, wake up!!!" Shouted Lita
"Mmm?? What?? Lita!!! It's 5:00AM!!!!!!!!!!" What are you doing in here!!!!??? her voice was muffled by her face pressed into the pillow below her.
"I know, were late!!!!" she shouted
"Late???? FOR WHAT???" she screamed
"Training!!!! C'mon let's go."
"Okay let me just screw my brain in..."
The two walked down the corridor towards a large room, resembling a gym, or an old training room, inside, all of the scouts were transformed and fighting.
"Oh.. look who decided to join us this morning" said Rei, as she dismounted from a balance beam, "ready to train guys???"
Yep, said Lita, JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!!!!.............................. The stream of electric currents surrounded her as she transformed into Super sailor Jupiter
Okay, *Yawn* my turn, MOON ETERNAL, MAKE UP!!!............................ Nothing happened.
"What???!!! I can't transform, I'll try again!! MOON ETERNAL... "Even as she said this a small electric current surged and zapped Serena....
"Ohhhh!!!!" She fell to the floor in pain as she clasped her left hand with the other.
"Serena, why can't you transform, you need to train with us, and we can't do this without you!!!" Lita exclaimed..
The other scouts looked on as Serena lied there motionless, her eyes became red, and moist, she was absolutely helpless, the scouts were right, she needed to train or all would be lost..
And then, Queen Isis entered the room, and rushed over to where Serena was lying, "What's wrong, what happened Serena??" She crouched down and lifted Serena into her lap, "Tell me what happened"
"Well, Ami began, Serena can't transform into Sailor moon anymore, and we are all worried that she won't be able to defend this kingdom."
A sweet smile spread across Queen Isis' face.. "Don't worry, Serena, your body is just preparing itself for the path you are about to take, your brooch is just responding to that, by not letting you transform. The silver crystal can sense triggered emotion, or any kind of change that may be occurring in your life. Don't worry; you will be able to become Sailor moon again, once all of this is over."
"Really???" She muttered
"Yes, of course! And although you cannot become sailor moon, you will find out soon enough just how powerful you can be."
The queen got to her feet and exited the room, as she left she said, "Oh, and Serena, the kind of training YOU should be doing is not Physical, but Mental, try meditating, and focusing your energy, your going to need all the energy you can get, believe me."
Serena looked confused. But at the same time, looked focused and ready. As if what she was anticipating was familiar, and whenever Queen Isis was around, she felt safe and warm; the kind of feeling you can get only from family..impossible, she thought. is it??
The scouts had been able to find endless amounts of time to train and perfect their abilities over the coming hours, but all Serena could do, was sit there, watching. She felt so detached from the rest of the group; it would be so much better if she could fight with them. But that was impossible; she had a new destiny. Who was she to question it???
She had decided that from this point on, she would no longer be kept in the dark about important matters; it was HER destiny, why couldn't she know more about it??? She ran, furiously down the halls, and entered the main chamber where the Queen's throne room was.
"QUEEN ISIS...." Serena bellowed
"Ahh, I knew that I would expect a visit from you today Serena.. You are troubled aren't you?"
"I'm the one asking the questions here, okay? You have left me in the dark for long enough.. I want the truth" Serena's voice level raised to a yell, as the Queen had formed a distant look on her face.
"Alright Serena, the queen sighed. I haven't exactly been honest with you. The truth is, there is more to you than meets the eye. While you are the chosen one, sent from afar to protect Egypt, believe me, this is not the first time you have been sent to protect this place."
"What does that mean?" Serena Questioned
"Basically, you have, and always will be." The queen started
"WHAT, been what, y'know I'm becoming mighty tired of your little mind games an - ." "My SISTER!!!!" the queen yelled. Her face turned a bright red as she sat herself down, her hands were trembling.
Serena was speechless, (First time for everything ^_^) her emotions could not be expressed. so she just stood there, dumbfounded.
"Serena, this is not as simple as it seems. Our story trails a long way back to ancient times." The queen began
"You see, you, I and our other sister, Ursula, were once known as the sisters of the rolling sun."
"Ursula?? Is that the evil that is coming to this place.?"
"Yes I'm afraid so." The queen exclaimed
"Sisters of the rolling sun. What does that mean," Serena questioned.
"Basically, in any day, there are three rotations of the sun. Sunrise, which was my specialty, Midday, which was Ursula's post, and you Serena, controlled the suns decent into the west. We were the bringers of peace to Egypt, and we alone decided the fate of the Egyptians. They would always look to us for guidance and wisdom. You see, when I took Ursula back, we were a family again, it just wasn't meant to be I guess."
"So we're sisters? Serena said
Yes, unimaginable by the paths we have taken, isn't it?? The queen said sarcastically
You know something.??
"What's that Serena??"
"I like the idea of being your sister." Serena reached out and gave the queen a big hug, something the queen had not felt in a long time, compassion from another human being.
"And don't worry. Serena whispered. We will get her back; I promise you that, we will be the sisters of the rolling sun once more. Serena left the embrace of the queen and exited the room, with a certain spring in her step.
As she exited, the queen muttered something to herself.
"Oh Ursula, I'm coming back to end all of this.. And I am bringing back an old friend. Oh Princess Serena, I hope that you will be ready. Who ever would have thought that we would be fighting our own sister?
"We must win, Egypt is depending on us" With that, the queen shimmered and faded away.
Continued in Chapter 4.
So, what did everyone think?? I am going to have to type chapter four pretty quickly, because I'm going overseas in 10 DAYS. WOOOOOOOO. Sorry, I get carried away sometimes ^_^ Anyway hope you are enjoying it so far, and I hope to hear what you thought.
