Item the first: This is writing itself. So much so, It's killing my ability
to sleep. Now be kind to the little beast, and let it finish rampaging.
Second: I know only one person is reading this. ^.^ This has no effect on
me writing this. Perhaps in 6 months someone will trip over it and not have
an idea what is going on either. That means I did my job.
Third: Still own nothing of Sailor Moon. Would like to own Naru, or even
the American Molly, but...

She pulled the cloak tighter around her, the furry cloth the only thing keeping her from the biting cold winds around her. The ground was rock hard. The buildings around her covered with a thick layer of ice. She was standing in what used to be a park, the slides, the sidewalk, even the blades of grass covered in the same, uniform sheet of ice.
It had started when her niece dropped into her lap.
Normally that would be a very cute scene, but when a six year old girl manifests in thin air, and plummets unconscious into The Queen's lap during a land dispute, the reaction is a bit worse then cute.
The girl was completely out cold. The doctor's assumed that it was from all the energy she would have used from teleporting. From Earth. Into the Queen's Chamber. Something that no one could do.
It's really very complex, but for a period of about 3 days a month, starting from the new moon, the bridge between the Dark Kingdom and the Earth was inaccessible. It was considered a minor annoyance at best, but because of it, there was no way anyone, especially a six year old, should have been able to get from Earth to their world. On top of it, the Queen's chamber was covered in magical wards. Teleporting in or out of the castle was completely impossible. It's just common sense to want to keep out assassins.
With days before anyone could open the portals up again, and with her niece sleeping in the infirmary, to say Naru Beryl was upset would be very polite. No with no way to get information about earth, she had more questions then answers. And a ton of researchers, mages, and scientists trying to figure out how to force the gateway open early, with just as many ready to jump through at the first chance, if only to answer their own curiosity.
When the three day period was up, the preliminary reports were bleak. Ice. All anyone found was Ice. Naru had to see for her self.
Two of her three closest guards accompanied her. The third, Aelan, stayed behind. Both to watch over her sleeping niece, and because plant youma do not do well in cold weather.
Everywhere, even her hometown, had been covered by this unnatural ice. As they walked through the area, a second fact became apparent. There were no people to be seen. Not in the houses, or on the streets. There was no a clue as to what had happened either.
"Okay girls," Naru took one last look at the place she had once called home, "Let's pack it up. We'll let the Archeologists handle it from here on."
