Celeste Dragoon Chapter Three: What's happening?!

Sad Eyes....Take me away...

Selenity's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To think... to think that all this chaos started with just a simple ball... I remember exactly how it began...

*Flashback*

It was the day of my sixteen birthday, my coming of age. I was in a sort of depression, everyone had seem to have no clue to which day this was and why it was so important; they had forgotten me. So seeking solitude, I was in the gardens listening to the Bell birds and the Wild Canaries. I was also watching the Swans seemingly dance upon the clear, glass-like water of the pond.

After what seemed like hours I heard my friend and servant, Molly, calling for me.

"Selenity! Seleeenity! Where are you?!" *sigh* brushing my dress off, I always had to wear those long dresses and they were always difficult to maneuver in, I stood up and waved my hands to catch her attention.

"Over this way Molly, is something amiss?" I called.
"No m'lady Selenity, but your Mother has requested for you to be present in the Great Hall..." Molly said, then looking at the condition of my dress she added, "...Once you are in clean set of clothing of course."
"I am not amused, my dear friend" I said jokingly.
"Lets get you changed before your Mother sends the Royal Guards looking for me for my tardiness," She joked back.

Returning to my room, Molly's choice of dress was suspicious. She wished for me to wear a silver dress, with a white bow in the back and golden crescent moons at the top. (AN:Like the dress you see princess Serenity normally wearing) I only wear that dress for balls and special occasions, what is my Mother planning? When I looked in the mirror at the vanity table I saw a sixteen year old, 5'1", golden haired with silver streaks, Blue eyed girl. When I was younger many a times people would come up to me and say I was the embodiment of innocence, even now they still say it even though I cannot see in me what they speak of.

"Come m'lady princess, your mother awaits you and already I fear we have tarried far to long," Molly said while grabbing my wrist and dragging me to the door. We walked briskly the long way to the Great Hall and upon our arrival the guards stationed at the doors, whom were talking like there was no tomorrow, were silenced and bowing they opened the doors.

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone from the villages were standing before me in that hall, they had tricked me into thinking I was forgotten. I couldn't help myself, I was laughing hysterically. When I walked into the hall the celebration had begun. I looked around and I saw standing next to my mother was my friend and the Guardian of Time, Setsuna. Also next to my mother were her two advisors, Artemis and Luna. My mother was close to something of 50 years old but she looked 27. She had long hair, just like mine, (The only difference between my mother's hair and my hair is her's was all white and mine was almost silver) put up in the royal Lunarian custom; to have it up into two buns on either side of our heads. Only the royalty of the moon can have their hairstyles in this way also only the royalty have the golden crescent moon on our foreheads. Setsuna was about 1,200 years old, but she looked 19. She had long black hair and violet eyes. Artemis and Luna were cats, it was said that once they were also lunarians but to help the Goddess of the Moon, Selene, they willingly turned themselves into cats.

About halfway into the celebration was when the disaster struck. We were all laughing about something when the doors to the hall flew open and a cold wind blew fiercely. Walking in calmly a woman, whom was close to 5'7" and had flaming hair, laughed like ice and said,

"My, oh, my did I interupt your lovely party?" She had cold, black eyes, a cruel face and a malicious smile. If it weren't for the darkness surrounding her she would have looked beautiful. Walking foreward my mother said boldly,

"If you are here to cause any pain, you are sadly mistaken, I must ask you to leave at once." The woman clapped softly.
"Bravo, bravo Wonderful speech I must say, but before I go don't you wish to know my name?" That malicious smile was back. "I am Beryl." Suddenly I felt a hand on my arm, turning I saw Setsuna, she looked serious.
"Selenity," She whispered. "Your mother requested for me to take you out of here before that woman sees you." I looked at the woman and my mother again and a feeling of dread was building up in me.
"You mean my mother KNEW this...this woman was to come?" I whispered back. Setsuna shook her head.
"She had a premonition, a feeling that something awful was going to happen."
"Why aren't you helping my mother also?!" I was whispering furiously now.
"Its not her she's after, its you."
"Me...? Why?"
"You have the Silver Imperium Crystal around your neck, you can control it." I unconsciously tightened my hand around my necklace.That the woman, Beryl, became furious with my mother for not cooperating and fired a blast at her. She was trapped in a thick layer of ice, I felt like doing what everyone else had started, panicking.
"I gave you your chance Serenity," Was all I heard Beryl say. Just before I felt my mother drift to sleep I heard her say to me telepatically,
'Selen, my wonderful daughter, you must...get out before she finds you,'
'Mother! Where can I go?! What must I do? Please tell me!' I answered.
'Take...the...Crystal...to........Earth....re...remember...t- that....I...I Love...you" and she drifted into a cold sleep. Suddenly Sestuna gripped my arm and amidst the panic and confusion she pulled me to the silent corridors outside the Great Hall. Just before I exited though I saw Artemis and Luna sit faithfully next to my frozen mother and all my friends get turned to ice along with the many villagers.

"Setsuna! *huff-huff* I need to... go back! I need to help them!" I yelled as the tears trickled down my face.
"Selenity, trust me. You won't be helping them by going back! Right now you need to do as your mother said, take the crystal and go to Earth. You need to find help, grow strong, and gather the Summon Crystals in order to help them," Setsuna responded as she ran faster.
"You heard my mother? If so then who else could have heard her also?!"
"Many others could have heard your mother if they knew how to, that is why we need to hurry!"

When we reached a statue of Setsuna herself, Setsuna stopped and pulled out her Garnet Orb and said D. SCREAM and a wooden door appeared next to it and we rushed through to the portal room. She instructed me to stand in the middle of the room while she started the proceedure.

"Selenity..." She started suddenly breaking the silence.
"Yes?"
"Make sure you're careful..."
"Don't worry, I'll change my name, hide the birthright on my forehead, not talk to strangers..." Setsuna laughed, then sombered immediately.
"Your mother...she isn't dead, she can be awakened. Like everyone eles in there, they're counting on you Sele." And she closed her eyes in concentration.
"Goodbye, Setsuna!" I whispered then thinking on it I said. "I'm going to call you Trista!" I yelled and I think I saw her smile.

*End Flashback*

(AN: WHEW! Who agress with me that that was a REALLY long flash back?)
Now here I am in this strange, but beautiful place. I am sitting on a ridge of some sort looking at a small village. The village was surrounded by trees and on the one side of the forest there was a large field with tall grass. Running in the field there was a tall raven black haired man. Something about him caught my attention, but I have no time to ask him why he is running or whom he is I need to save my kingdom. So now I begin my downward descent to the village.
