Chapter 3
Serenity carried the stranger as best she could to the inn. He was at least a foot taller than she was and she was not that strong to begin with. Very slowly and with only a few stumbles she made her way to find her sister.
"AMY!!! LITA!!! SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!" Serenity screamed throughout the inn. All four of her sisters and her father came running at her calls.
"Serenity, stop yelling. What is the matter?" Her father said while coming down the hallway.
"Oh my goodness. Serenity, what happened to the poor man?" Amy asked noticing the figure that Serenity rested on the couch.
"Amy he needs your healing touch. He has a wound in his side."
"I'll try my best. After I'm done he'll have to be moved to another room to rest." Amy approached the man and lifted his shirt to reveal a long gash in his side along with well-toned muscles. She placed her hands over the wound and began to glow a soft blue. In a matter of seconds the wound was completely gone, not even a scar was left behind. Amy rose and almost fainted.
"Amy what's the matter?" Mina asked her sister.
"Nothing. The wound was just deeper than I thought. He would have died if Serenity didn't find him when she did."
"Lita help me bring this man to an empty room," Solario instructed.
Lita and her father gently lifted the man off the couch and carried him up the stairs to an empty room. The other girls just watched Serenity follow them with her eyes.
"He'll be fine Serenity," Amy started. "You saved his life,"
"So how did you find him? Who is he? What does he want?"
"I don't know Raye. I saw something move in the woods and I went over to she what it was. It was that man I found barely able to move. Before he passed out he said that he needed to find something."
"What?" the girls asked Serenity in unison.
"I don't know he passed out before he finished talking."
"I wonder who he is," Amy said as the girls left leaving Serenity still staring after her father, Lita, and the man.

"You must get out of here before it's too late," screamed a man with shoulder length, wavy brown hair.
"We can hold them off until you get back," screamed another man who had long blond hair tied back in a ponytail.
"No I can't leave. You need my help," shouted a raven-haired man.
"Endymion, you must find the savior. We can't do anything without her," shouted a fourth man with short blond hair as he threw a fireball at the attackers.
"You must go find her. You're the only one that can," shouted a man with shoulder length white hair. He threw repeated energy balls at the enemy.
"Magic is dying. Only the savior that haunts our dreams can save it and us," replied the first man. He dodged some arrows that assailed them.
"You need me though," Endymion started as he began to pull out magical roses and threw them at their assailants.
"Just go!" The second man said as he pushed Endymion out of the way of some oncoming arrows.
With one look back at his four friends, Endymion ran into the woods following the dream that told him to find the savior needed to save magic.
******
Endymion shot up. Where was he? Where were his trusted friends? Were they still fighting? Who was the girl that found him? Thousands of questions were running through his mind. Suddenly there was a knock at his door.
"Come in."
The door opened to reveal five girls and a man he assumed to be their father.
"How are you feeling, young man?" the man asked.
"I feel fine. I owe you my deepest gratitude, sir. My name is Endymion"
"My name is Solario. These are my daughters," he turned to his daughters. "Introduce yourselves."
The tall brunette stepped foreword, "My name is Lita, I am Solario's eldest daughter."
"My name is Amy," said the blue-haired girl.
"I am Raye," the raven-haired one said.
"Hi! I'm Mina," introduced one of the blondes.
"And I am called Serenity," said the last of the girls. "I am the youngest of my father's daughters."
Endymion stared at her. She was a goddess. He instantly felt something in his heart twitch. He was brought out of his trance by Solario talking.
"You are in my inn, The Silver Moon Inn. My daughter Serenity found you and Amy healed your wound. While you are here feel free to ask for anything you want and one of my daughters will get it for you. Here are some of my old clothes; I hope that they will fit you. If you are hungry come down to the kitchen. It is down the stairs to the left."
"Thank you all. I truly owe you my life," Endymion said.
With that the girls and their father left Endymion to change. He looked at the spot the scar should have been, but it was not there. Amy must have magic in her blood, which means her sisters might also possess some magic. He must find out about them. They would need his protection if the threat came any closer to this village. He finished getting dressed. The clothes fit him well and he followed Solario's directions to the kitchen. He was starving. When he reached the kitchen he saw the brunette cooking something that smelled heavenly.
"Lita? Right?"
"Yes, I'm Lita. What would you like to eat, Endymion?"
"Anything would be fine. I don't want to impose anymore than I already am."
"It's no trouble at all. I love to cook."
Endymion chuckled softly and thought of his brown-haired friend.
"What did I say?"
"Nothing you just remind me of my friend, Nephrite. He loves to cook too."
Endymion graciously accepted the plate Lita handed him.
"If you do not mind, could you eat out in the gardens? I am beginning to prepare dinner for the guests and I need the space on the table."
"No, it's no problem at all I love gardens. Though I am particularly drawn to the roses," Endymion smirked at the last part and Lita told him where the garden was.
When he got there he sat down on a bench that was by the roses. He thought of his quest. He had to find the savior. He finished his meal and stared at the setting sun. How many more days like this will there be? If magic is truly destroyed then all the magic of life will cease to exist also. Time was running out and he was no closer to finding the savior since he started searching a month ago. His thoughts were once again interrupted, but this time it was by a soft voice.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone else was here. I'll just be going."
"No it's okay. Why don't you join me?" Endymion said as he scooted over on the bench. "Serenity, right?"
"Yes, and your Endymion," she sat down next to him on the bench.
"You're the one who found me right? I most sincerely thank you and I owe you my life."
"It was nothing. Really."
The two sat on the bench and watched the sun set over the lake. Serenity closed her eyes and allowed herself to become one with the peace surrounding her. She felt oddly protected with Endymion, even though she just met him. Her heart skipped a beat and she opened her eyes. She turned her head to find Endymion staring at her. He quickly turned away from her.
Endymion was embarrassed to be caught looking at Serenity. How could a girl he just met entrance him so? What was he feeling? He dared another glance at the angel beside him. She was truly beautiful. He could not breathe when he looked at her. How could he be thinking about her at a time like this? He turned away from her angelic face. He had more important things to worry about.
Serenity rose from the bench only to be stopped by a hand on hers. She looked back at Endymion. They stayed like that for what seemed to be an eternity.
Serenity broke the silence that surrounded them, "Who are you, Endymion?"
Endymion looked away from Serenity and let out a sigh, "I am a keeper of magic and protector of this planet."
