Chapter 11
The morning held an air of apprehension. Everyone seemed to be on edge about something. Lita and Nephrite prepared breakfast for the ten people. After breakfast the girls went to train with the men.
Amy was paired with Zoisite since they both drew their powers from water. Lita and Nephrite sparred together since they were the physically strongest of the group. Mina and Kunzite went about perfecting joining their attacks. Raye and Jadeite trained together. Endymion went around to each group checking on their progress. Serenity sat down by the lake still lost in her thoughts from the previous night.
What am I doing here? Serenity thought. I have no place here. They all have some kind of active power. She looked over at the others. I do not know how to fight if I had to and have no way to defend myself. Maybe I should just go home.
Serenity sat looking out at the lake. Every now and then she glanced at her sisters. They were so powerful in her eyes. If they were the protectors of the Princess, she only could imagine how powerful the Princess herself is. She also noticed that Endymion never threw any attacks. He only just observed what the others were doing.
Endymion walked among the dueling pairs not really paying attention to them. He was too busy watching Serenity. She was a mystery to him. True he loved her, but he just met her. She comes from a powerful family yet has hardly any power herself. Her mother was a queen in another life and her sisters were princesses. Yet she was nothing but everything to him. How could someone mean so much to him in such a short time?
He turned his attention back towards his friends. They were coming a long way in their powers. Somehow these girls made them more powerful. He just did not understand. He looked at each of them in turn. All were equally matched in skill and strength. He was about to call a break when there was a loud explosion just outside the wall.
"We're under attack!" Endymion yelled.
"No more times for practicing, guys. It's the real thing now," Kunzite screamed.
"Where's Serenity?" Mina asked looking towards the lake where her sister was last.
"I don't know. She was there the last time I saw her," Endymion said, as there was another explosion.
"We can't go looking for her now. We have to hope that's she's safe and fight off the enemy to keep it that way," Jadeite said as he prepared to fight.
"She's our sister we can't just leave her," Raye yelled at him.
"Raye we really have no choice," Amy said not completely agreeing with what she just said.
There was another explosion. Bits and pieces of rock and dirt rained down on them. Endymion quickly threw up a magic shield to protect them.
"We have to fight," Nephrite told them.
The girls agreed and took their place next to the Generals and their Prince. They knew the only way they could find their sister was to first get rid of this enemy. None of them even wanted to think of what could have happened to Serenity now.
Endymion was worried for Serenity. He did love her no matter what fate held for him he would always love Serenity not some dead princess. It was his life not fate's. He would survive and find her. Nothing bad will happen to her. He will protect her with his life. A hint of recognition passed in his eyes. It was so slight, however, that not even he caught it.
Serenity was staring at the lake when she saw a silver light off in the distance. The others were busy training and did not see her leave. The light led her to the wall where they entered. The light disappeared through the door. Serenity hesitated only momentarily because the door opened by itself. Without a glance back she followed the light into the forest.
The battle had been going on for hours. It was already getting dark. No one had seen Serenity since the battle began they hoped she was just hiding from all this fighting. Everyone put on a brave face. They were fighting a losing battle. Zoisite was unconscious and had been since he pushed Amy away from a falling rock an hour ago. Mina had a bad cut on her upper arm and Kunzite was bandaging it. The others had scrapes and bruises on every visible part of their bodies.
"We can't hold out much longer!" Jadeite yelled.
"I hope the Princess awakens soon," Amy yelled back.
Nephrite sent a blast towards the still unknown enemy. "Lita watch out!"
She did not see the blast coming towards her until it was to late. She did not have time too move. She waited for the pain to come but it never did. She opened her eyes to see Nephrite take the hit. He fell to the ground barely breathing.
"They're using magic!" he coughed before he passed out.
Serenity followed the ball of light into a clearing. She heard explosions behind her, but could not take her eyes off the silver ball. Once in the clearing the ball began to change forms. Soon it took on the appearance of her mother.
"Mother? Is it really you?"
"Your friends are in trouble Serenity, dear."
"I can't help them. I am powerless. The only one who could help is the princess they keep talking about and I know that I'm not her. I'm just a helpless girl and a failure."
"Don't ever think that, sweetie. You are only as powerful as you believe yourself to be. Nothing is impossible if you believe in it."
"Mother?"
"Yes, dear?"
"Why are you here? I mean why did you come to me? You came to my sisters to awaken their powers that they already showed signs of having, but I have no part in it and no real magic."
"My sweet Serenity, you haven't changed. You always did underestimate yourself that is until you met your love, Endymion. Then you were filled with such confidence I have never seen."
"What are you saying mother? Are you saying that I'm . . . I'm . . ."
"Yes Serenity. You are my daughter in this life and our past life as well. You are the Moon Princess and Heir to the Silver Millennium. You have the power to end this war and save magic. Do you want it?"
"Mother, if I have the chance to save my friends and Endymion I'll do anything. So yes, I want to have the power to end all of this."
"Very well, please come forward. Do you still have my necklace?"
"Yes. Here it is, Mother."
A silver light encased the mother and daughter. Serenity felt herself fill with power as the memories came rushing back to her. She remembered everything since she was two on the Moon. Tears of joy flowed from her eyes. She remembered Endymion was going to marry her in the past and he still loved her for her in the present. A single teardrop crystallized before it hit the ground. The silver light went into it.
The Queen picked up the crystal and explained, "This is the Imperial Silver Crystal. It holds all of the power of your heritage. It hand it down to you. Went I sent you all into the future, I used the last of my energy. It drained my energy and I died. You weren't supposed to be born yet but the balance our kingdom held tipped the scales when it was destroyed and magic began to die. You need to restore it but first you need to be awakened as the Lunarian Heir and Keeper of the Crystal."
Serenity stepped closer to her mother. Her mother placed a finger to Serenity's forehead.
"Awaken Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and Silver Millennium, Heir to the Lunarian Throne, Daughter of Hope and Light, Keeper of Peace, Holder of the Imperial Silver Crystal, Heir to the Silver Millennium, Bringer of Justice and Protector of this Universe. Awaken now and take your place as the Goddess of the Light."
Serenity was filled with power. She felt it flow freely throughout her body. She could sense her friends and sisters. They were dying. She looked up at her mother with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Go daughter, save your friends. Save magic and live a happy life with your love. I love you remember that. Good luck my daughter."
Mother and daughter both disappeared in a silver light, each heading their own separate ways.
Raye and Lita had fallen too tired to fight any more. They lay by Nephrite and Zoisite, who were barely alive. Amy was the next to fall. She could feel her powers draining. Jadeite dropped beside her.
"We are not enough to stop them this time Endymion," Kunzite said.
"We are already down to us three," Mina stated as she took another hit and fell to her knees. "I guess it's up to you two now." She fell to the ground and passed out.
"Endymion! Look out!" Kunzite pushed Endymion out of the way taking the blast fully.
Endymion could not believe this. He was all that was left. He wondered about Serenity. If her sisters and his friends could not last, he dared not think what could happen to her. It was his fault they got involved in this. He should not have asked them to come with him. If only he found the Princess. He was lost in his sorrows and thoughts he did not notice the blast coming towards him until it was to late. He braced himself for it. He welcomed it, but it never came. Instead there was a silver light in front of him. It took the blast but its brilliance did not falter. The light faded to reveal a beautiful girl with silver hair. She turned to face Endymion.
"Sere?"
AN: Well? Getting interesting yet? I hope you like this. Well keep reviewing, I love hearing from you. Keep reading! I wrote this a while ago but hadn't had time to post it. I've been home a total of 2 hours in the past two days and I'm about to leave again.
Love, ya all, KoKo Belle
