Epilogue
Serenity lay there on the ground on moving. Endymion's home was reduced into ashes. What was once beautiful and full of life now resembled a deserted valley. A soft silver figure appeared in front of Serenity. A slim hand reached down a patted her head.
"You can get up now Serenity," the figure said.
"No I want to die," Serenity cried.
"No time for tears, Princess. You have a future to rebuild," replied the figure.
Serenity lifted her head, "Mother? What do you mean?"
"Well dear, I once used the crystal to send to into the future to find a new life. And if everything worked out, as it should have, then you would have awoken in a future much farther away. I cannot grant this since I am no longer living. You do have the power and heart to do it. You can have another chance at life. The Lunarian line will not end here."
"Can I really do this mother?"
"Yes dear, it is all in your heart," her mother slowly began to fade away.
"What mother. Can you tell how I defeated Dracolis?"
Serenity stood and walked to the center of the valley. She held the crystal in her hands. It was softly glowing. She closed her eyes to the harsh wind. When she opened them again there was something different in them. No longer were they filled with sadness, but they held a calming sense of purpose. She would make up for all that has happened. She would not allow them to have died in vain. The future was clear in her eyes and the past, a memory. She used the crystal to send everyone into the future, hopefully a happy one.
Her eyes closed as she was enveloped in the crystal's glow. Soon Endy, we will be together. We will have a new future together. She closed her eyes and thought back to what her mother said to her.
"The power of the crystal lies in your pure heart, something all the female members of our family are blessed with. The power is hope, the hope that you will win and live on, the hope that everything will turn out for the better. That is the TRUE gem, not some crystal, but hope. Hope is the Gem of Serenity. Remember that and you can do anything you set your mind to. When I first received the crystal, my mother told me this: 'Visions born of fear give birth to our failing. Visions born of hope give birth to our success.' You know what you need to do, now go do it. I am so proud of you daughter."
Serenity smiled at the memory and allowed herself to be absorbed into the light. She was heading to a brighter future with her love, her prince. She would be a normal girl with no worries of having to fight. Mina, Lita, Raye, Amy, Kunzite, Nephrite, Jadeite and Zoisite would all find each other again. She was sure of it. And she knew she would see Endymion again. It was all a matter of time.
Somewhere in the future . . .
A blond haired girl of fourteen with the most unusual hairstyle raced to get to school. She was late again. She could not believe it. She ran past a shrine that had a beautiful raven-haired girl sweeping the steps. She ran past another blond who was staring at the newest video game at the arcade. She ran past a tough looking brunette who was standing up to some older boys that were picking on a poor girl. She ran past a blue-haired girl who was reading a rather large book. She rounded a corner and ran into a raven-haired man with midnight blue eyes. He was walking with four of his friends.
"Watch where you're going Meatball Head," he said.
"My name is Serenity or Serena for short, NOT Meatball Head!" the girl yelled at him.
"My name is Endymion, but they," he pointed over his shoulder to his friends, "call me Darien."
"Nice to meet you but I'm late for school," Serena yelled as she raced off to school.
Darien smiled to himself. She seemed familiar somehow. He thought he knew her from somewhere, but could not place her. His buddies and him continued on their way to school. The whole way there he kept thinking about that girl with the meatballs on her head.
AN: That's it! I finished the story! Yippee! How do you like my first fic ever? I think I did pretty well for this being my first time, if I do say so myself. OK the quote that Serenity's mother said her mother said comes from the book Magic Kingdom For Sale – Sold by Terry Brooks, of his Magic Kingdom of Landover series. He's probably one of my favorite authors. He also writes the Shannara series, which I love. Thanks for reading. KoKo Belle
