*******************************************
"Setsuna? Is this really necessary," questioned Seren as she glanced around the dark forest.
"Yes Sere, a new part of your training, you will use the moon to fight evil," 'and to prepare you for your life in Modern Earth,' Setsuna silently finished.
"Why?" Seren was confused; from her knowledge, she did not think that there was anything wrong with Gondor, anywhere else in fact.
"It is best you be prepared for the future," the cryptic method did little to satisfy Seren, she was now seven and a very good student in all lessons as was her brother Ro, though her brother exceeded her except for the ways of magic and archery.
"Seren," warned Setsuna, "do not be afraid, this is just an image, it is not real."
Seren was worried, why was Sets warning her not to be afraid?
All of a sudden, a beast more like a monster came out; she had the appearance of a human and wore a clingy scale-like dress with the most horrible shade of green. The creature was pale and had evil cat like eyes. (are there cats in Middle Earth? I don't think so. I don't even think they have almonds!)
Seren yelped and drew out her bow: she preferred a long-range weapon to a sword that was short range. Her hands shook, terrified at this strange beast.
"Calm down Sere."
She did not calm down, nowhere had she seen a creature like this. Although it had a sense of false aura, it was definitely evil.
"Little one, I told you it is just an image, I created it."
Seren looked to her teacher and friend, why would Sets create a thing like that?
"You will learn how to fight these types of creatures, they are rather new," answered Sets to her unasked question.
'I am sorry princess, I must prepare you,' "Now put down your bow, solid weapons without magic will not harm them."
"Then how will I fight?"
"You will fight with magic, by the moonlight, I know you usually use the sun and moon to aid you, but in this case the sun is not needed" 'when you progress into Cosmos then you shall be able to use the sun.'
"How will I fight them, I don't think the spells you have taught me will affect them either," stated Seren.
Setsuna smiled. "Very good observation, and you are right. I will teach you new spells; in this case, they are called attacks, to fight this creature."
The creature was seemingly immobile, until Setsuna called out for it to attack Seren.
Taken by surprise, Seren dodged the punch aimed at her chest. "I thought I would fight with magic not combat," she had learned the true name later on in her training with Haruka.
"That does not mean the creature will not try to take advantage and hurt you. Remember the mind and body are one, if one should get hurt so does the other," stated the calm instructor.
Seren gave a high kick to the creature, leaving it to fly five feet back. She already felt weakened, how was she to fight a creature that seemed so strong?
Seeing this, Setsuna told her, "Now when you have the opportunity to attack I want you to lift your hand to your forehead as if you're grabbing something thin and scream 'moon tiara magic.'
Confused, Seren did as she was told; mimicking the movements Setsuna gave she yelled, "Moon tiara magic."
The creature screamed in agony and disintegrated. Seren shuddered, she had killed something, sure it was fake and evil but it was still a life. (Wait till she finds out just how much she has to kill)
"Well done, that was a low-powered denizen of an evil called the negaverse," said Setsuna, she felt she had no need to lie anymore, "they are from an ancient race: the dark kingdom."
Seren became even more puzzled, Michiru had not taught her any of this. Michiru was a very precise teacher and taught every little detail of a race.
"It is imperative that you speak of this to no one, not the training and all I tell you when we are training."
"Bu-"
"No buts Seren, no one is meant to know," Setsuna interrupted and spoke more forceful.
"Yes Sets," answered Seren obediently, knowing not to question Sets's judgment.
"Just like your other spells, once you have mastered it you need not speak it, as long as you call out the attack in your mind you can defeat it."
Seren listened to this, although she was disturbed at Setsuna's wish to keep all this in secrecy she felt it was important to know and not slack in this training. A feeling deep within her heart that unsettled her soul, she came to the conclusion that she would have to fight. Setsuna did not do anything without a purpose, so if she is to learn how to fight for the future then she was going to fight.
"Lesson is over for today."
Setsuna knew she had to ease the magic in so she would get used to it. Take it one at a time and keep it so she will have energy to spare.
Setsuna planned on teaching her all the attacks of her sailor forms. Prepare her for the inevitable, and have her excel at it. She wanted to make sure Seren didn't hurt herself from not knowing how to fight creatures such as these. As she will get better, she'll fight all types of creatures to, eventually, the generals. (Setsuna only knows this far in the future, during the R season.)
It was better than how she was supposed to become sailor moon (talking about Luna just telling her that she's sailor moon and has to fight). At least Seren understood the meaning of duty now; she would always run away when it came to that, thought Setsuna as she reminisced Seren's past life on the moon. Setsuna was sorry that she would have to take Seren away from the life she loves; she also feared that Seren would resent her for that act. But until then, she would take it one day at a time and prepare for the day she would leave.
"Sets?"
"Yes Sere."
"How much times will we have this sort of training?"
"Every other lesson, I do not want to push you," finished Sets.
They were currently making there way back to the castle.
When they arrived, they saw Aragorn waiting, with a bored look on his face.
Seeing his sister, he jumps down from the statue he was sitting on. "Finally!"
Truthfully he was worried for his sister, as much as he liked Setsuna there was something not right with her, he could never figure out what but he knew it. He also had a feeling that that something would have to do with Ren, he sees how Sets is with Ren: it seemed she was preparing Seren for something while being loving. He knows Sets is very nice and loved Ren almost as much as him, almost. But there were times where he'd catch Setsuna glancing at Ren with a worried, regretful, or sad expression, like something would happen to Ren, something bad. All these thoughts and still he was afraid to confront Setsuna on it, he wished his findings not be true.
For now, he would put it behind.
"Hi Ro!" greet Seren.
"Where did you guys go?"
Seeing Seren look nervous, she was never good at lying, and look to Setsuna for an answer he became suspicious.
Setsuna covered them and said, "I was teaching her a spell on how to create light in dark places." Technically, it was true.
Aragorn did not believe it he knew it weren't true.
Setsuna was not dumb. She knew the young prince suspected and planned of ways to make him take his mind off it. She just worried that one day he might find some evidence to what she planned, Aragorn was a smart little devil and often practiced his intellect in meetings with the other nobles of Gondor. He would be a great king.
Little did she know that he would never fulfill it.
After bidding Setsuna farewell, the two heirs of Gondor headed off to their secret spot. Wondering where it is? Well, remember the beginning, when they were playing hide and seek? Seren had found a large tree with a hollow in it. That place had a big clearing, big for the both of them. Trees surrounded it and that tree, with the hollow in it, was there special place where they'd put their most cherished things in it.
The clearing was used for playing and combat, their now favorite activity to do, Seren was getting very good but for Aragorn, it was his thing, as how archery was Seren's thing.
"Lets go check if anyone took our stuff," said the younger of the two.
"Really Ren, you say that every time we come here, and it's never been 'stolen.' I doubt if anyone has ever seen this place anyway," exclaimed Aragorn. The imagination his younger sister had!
~~Small flashback~~
"Come on Ro!"
A tired and weary Aragorn trudged after Seren to their secret spot. "I'm ::yawn:: coming, I'm coming."
They reach their destination and the first thing Seren did was check the tree, "good, it's still here."
After seeing his sister sigh in relief, he wondered what all the commotion was about. "Why wouldn't it be."
Seren just looked at him with an 'are you a fool' look and said, as if it was the most obvious reason in middle earth, "I dreamed I saw a dragon come here, he slept the night in the clearing, then searched the trunk, saw our treasure, and took it."
That was the most ridiculous reply there ever was. Looking at his annoyed sister, all signs of sleep deprivation forgotten Aragorn, prince of Gondor, fell to the ground laughing.
~~End of small flashback^^~~
Although he lost precious amounts of sleep, got dirty, and got smacked in the head afterward, it was the most funniest thing he'd ever experienced. Really. A dragon coming to steal their treasure, it was absurd as it was funny. The treasures were just mere childhood trinkets of memories: precious commodities to them, but not to the world.
Knowing her brother was thinking of that one incident, she shut up, not wanting to be ridiculed by him.
Seeing his sister's silent disposition, he asked, "well, is it all there?"
Smiling now, Ren took out the chest that held their treasure. She opened it, inside lay: a wooden sword, a necklace, a small picture of the two, a toy boat (wooden), a small scroll, a stuffed doll; which looked like a fairy.
"Yes, it is," declared Seren.
Aragorn peeked a look: it was all there. The wooden sword, a bokken, Ruka had called it, that they had gotten when they began their training. The necklace his mother gave to Ren. The mini picture that was originally larger, but shrunk, thanks to the assistance of the elves. A toy boat, which was also shrunken, that had been a memory of one of their most cherish trips to the lake in the woods. A small scroll containing their oath to be best friends and stay together forever. Also a stuffed doll, that, to Aragorn's shame, he had made for Seren that looked like a mutilated fairy: it was her most favorite toy.
The scroll contained a very peculiar oath:
We, Ro and Ren, the duo of pairs
Forever promise to be brother and sister
Mischief-makers and fighters
Protectors of their queen and mother
Friends to all they meet and conquer
Have the love of life and after
Care for everyone and never be afraid to suffer
Do what is good and never do wrong
Cuz if we do, we'll sing a terrible song
Bound by blood
Intertwined by string
Will we two always be.
Signed under the oath was his cursive, if slight crooked, signature and Seren's childish scrawl.
They had written it last year after learning of the legends of soul mates and Kindred kinship (I know that sounds ridiculous but please bare with me here).
Aragorn cherished those moments with Ren, they hardly saw each other anymore, only when dining together and before bed when they would last see each other for the day.
Michiru pushed him more than she does Ren in the world of politics while Haruka would press him to be a better warrior. While all this happened, Ren would be with Setsuna learning her magic. Sometimes he wished he knew more magic, Ren would still take classes with him but he never did take classes of magic with Ren.
Mother was oblivious, there were pressing matters developing all over the kingdom, and had little quality time to spend with them. The time she spent with them were precious, his mother was a warm and loving lady. Everyone loved her for her kind treatment to Gondor.
Life would go on like this for quite some time, each year they drift further and further apart, yet the bond between them never wavered when one day.
~~~~~~~~~~~Seven years later~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::Giggles:: "Ro!!"
Aragorn looked towards the yell, the little nymph was getting better at hiding every year, and there was hardly a time when he'd actually find her.
He crept through the well-known forest by the castle, he looked towards the left 'was that some shaking,' he looked closer to investigate, but before he did, a warm figure jumped on his back, "Hehehe, tracking is not your thing Ro!"
Aragorn just sighed, another game lost.
The prince had become a handsome devil of twenty, everything a girl would want in a man. Dark hair, dark eyes, golden bronze skin, perfect muscular body and a dazzling smile that lit up his face. And the future king to boot.
All the ladies of the kingdom loved him, craved for his attention when his gaze was on theirs.
Seren on the other hand, was a beautiful child of fourteen. Her golden- blonde with silver highlights grew down to her ankle, which, currently, was pulled up in a half braid: the top half braided while the rest streamed gently down.
All the girls were in envy of her looks, but none held hatred, the princess was still the same that she had been as a child. Seren tried very much to take care of her kingdom, wishing fervently to be just like her lovely mother.
Every available young man wanted to court her, but that was not possible due to the watchful eyes of her brother and the elves. All had good intentions, not wanting to hurt the princess that made the kingdom bright.
Aragorn carried Seren back to the castle in comfortable silence.
'Something's going to happen to me, I just know it,' thought Seren. Her birthday had been last week, a big celebration; it was one of the few she allowed to happen. 'What will happen to mama and Ro?' Seren was worried, and, she admitted, sad that she might hurt them. The premonition had been going on ever since her birthday. That day was strange also, it seemed the sky was darker than any other normal day.
Believing in her premonition so strongly, she set her chin on Ro's shoulder and sighed.
Aragorn was concerned; Ren was behaving strangely this past week, ever since her birthday.
"Ro?"
Getting a strange feeling in his chest, he replied, "Yes Ren?"
"I love you."
Aragorn startled in his steps, 'why would she say that,' he thought with heavy dread, "I love you too."
"That's good, Ro, never stop telling mama I love her and you love her too?"
'What was with the weird exchange?'
"I won't. Ren," he started hesitantly, "what is all this about?"
"Nothing Ro, it's nothing," with that final statement Seren laid nestled her head in the crook of his neck and fell asleep.
Aragorn carried Seren back to the castle, deep in thought, 'why would Ren say things like that?' He had an inkling to what might happen but he refused to believe it. He would not let his thoughts become reality.
'What am I going to do with you Ren?'
He put his sister in her bed, took one last look at her, and left her chambers.
That was the last day he would ever see his sister Ren.
~~~~~At a timeless place. And no it's not the time gates~~~~~
'I am sorry young one,' the being watched the scene unfold. She knew that the upcoming events would leave nothing but sadness for the Kingdom of Gondor, especially the castle that located in the heart of it.
'You are strong Aragorn, prince of Gondor, you were made to fight; with your good heart and warrior skills you will be the ultimate king. But I know this will not be so, your heart will take great pain in the event, and I know you will not be the only one, but you will be the one so greatly effected by it.'
Fate watched as the boy left the room, 'such sadness will come the next day; a horrible nightmare that will take years to heal; if destiny is kind (or should I say mature and not goofy) things will work out in the end. For now keep your courage and bravery and keep the light that you have been bestowed upon in your precious heart. '
*************************************************************
How was it? I hope you liked it.. Anyways like I said in the beginning, this will eventually be a romance fic and I want your opinions as to who the 'guy' will be... it depends on majority or who could convince me best.. With opinions and reason.... Also the following chapters might not come out as fast as you like.. I plan on making it as close to LotR as possible and that means reading the book.. I can finish it in a couple a days its just I have school and might not make time for it..
Anyways I hope you guys liked this chapter and the new turn of events... Hehe I had to put the little treasure thing in here, almost everyone I know had a 'secret' chest full of 'treasures' that were more or less toys. If you guys are wondering why I made Seren good in archery is because I refer her as the goddess Artemis as how her mother, Selenity, is the goddess Selene. And if you guys got confused on what the event was it was the disappearance of Seren... I know it wasn't as long as the last but at least it wasn't that short... I consider this long.. Pathetic huh?
Thanks for reading, Please review. Much Mahal(love) and Mahalo(welcome, or in this case thanks) and paalam(bai bai)..

But I know this will not be so, your heart will take great pain in the event, and I know you will not be the only one, but you will be the one so greatly effected by it.'
Fate watched as the boy left the room, 'such sadness will come the next day; a horrible nightmare that will take years to heal; if destiny is kind (or should I say mature and not goofy) things will work out in the end. For now keep your courage and bravery and keep the light that you have been bestowed upon in your precious heart. '

How was it? I hope you liked it.. Anyways like I said in the beginning, this will eventually be a romance fic and I want your opinions as to who the 'guy' will be... it depends on majority or who could convince me best.. With opinions and reason.... Also the following chapters might not come out as fast as you like.. I plan on making it as close to LotR as possible and that means reading the book.. I can finish it in a couple a days its just I have school and might not make time for it..
Anyways I hope you guys liked this chapter and the new turn of events... Hehe I had to put the little treasure thing in here, almost everyone I know had a 'secret' chest full of 'treasures' that were more or less toys. If you guys are wondering why I made Seren good in archery is because I refer her as the goddess Artemis as how her mother, Selenity, is the goddess Selene. And if you guys got confused on what the event was it was the disappearance of Seren... I know it wasn't as long as the last but at least it wasn't that short... I consider this long.. Pathetic huh?
Thanks for reading, Please review. Much Mahal(love) and Mahalo(welcome, or in this case thanks) and paalam(bai bai)..
