A The Chrysanthemum Chronicles Series Story
An Underground Cavern Below The Crystal Palace
Moon City, Moon Kingdom, Moon
November 23, 986
Some length of time later, Serenity had led Skyhorse to the required underground cavern some
distance below the grounds of the Crystal Palace. And she led them to a certain depression in the middle
of it, of course. After doing that, Serenity then lit a few lanterns that she'd recently put in the cavern, so that
Skyhorse could see better than if she didn't do so. Eventually, Skyhorse saw a somewhat large tile with
her Sailor Scout symbol on it. And then she eventually asked Serenity here, "Will we actually be using
these tiles to go to the other side of the Moon?" after she also had seen several other similar tiles in that
same depression.
"Sure, we will, or at least you will, Skyhorse."
"Will I have to teleport much like I did to Kyoto and Moon City, Sentinel Serenity?"
"Sort of, but not entirely." Sentinel Serenity told her how she'd be able to do that in a little while,
whether or not she'd be able to go to the other side of the Moon with Skyhorse. This, of course, was for
all the obvious reasons.
Then Skyhorse put all the things that she'd be bringing to the other side of the Moon with her on
her tile. That done, Serenity then went to a console near that depression, and accessed it. She accessed
it, and soon enough, had Poruzuka talking to her. She told Poruzuka to lower the deflector shields over
the Rainbow Springs Palace at least long enough for Skyhorse to come there. So Poruzuka eventually did
so, with Serena's help, after she'd first summoned Serena to the necessary place on the grounds of the
Rainbow Springs Palace. When Serena and Poruzuka said that they were ready to do so, Serenity then
had them do so moments later. Serena and Poruzuka then lowered the required shields, and then Serenity
had Skyhorse step onto her tile, of course. Then after Skyhorse briefly conversed for a moment longer with
Serenity, Serenity then had Skyhorse say only once, "Junior Sailor Skyhorse, Sailor Teleport." That done,
Skyhorse felt herself dissolving, so that she could teleport to the Rainbow Springs side of the Moon. Then
she felt herself bouncing off the sun shield, then a mirror, then a space station, then another mirror, and a
satellite, until she began materializing again in front of both Serena and Poruzuka, as planned. It took her
a few moments, at least, to teleport to Rainbow Springs, of course, and several more, at least, to get her
bearings again well enough, once she was in the necessary room of the Rainbow Springs Palace. She
ended up in the same room that Serenity had come to with several of her Scouts some time before. But
Serenity didn't appear there, for she'd decided, just before Skyhorse began teleporting to Rainbow Springs,
not to risk teleporting herself there in the condition that she was currently in, of course. So only Skyhorse
materialized there in front of both Serena and Poruzuka, because of that fact. After she got her bearings
well enough in the room that she was now in on the other side of the Moon, Skyhorse then said, "I'm here
safely enough, Sentinel Serenity."
"That's good. Serena, I trust you know what you have to do with her before she begins training
with your team?" asked Serenity, through the still-open communications channel.
"Yes, Mother, I do. Do you actually want me to tell everyone else that she's now here on this side
of the Moon?" asked Serena.
"Not until at least breakfast time, my dear Serena, at the very earliest. Junior Sailor Skyhorse, after
you get done in that area of the Rainbow Springs Palace, Princesses Serena and Poruzuka are going to
take you to a certain room elsewhere in it. Do whatever they tell you to do in it, no matter how strange it
might seem to you when they do so. You'll learn why later, if you don't learn why when they have you do
at least one thing there. And you should understand why, eventually, if you don't immediately understand
why, they're having you do that thing or those things. Believe me, I do know what I'm talking about here,
for I've done the thing or things that they'll be having you do sometime later. After you do whatever they
tell you to do, then you'll have the rest of the time before you eat breakfast to do as you wish on the
grounds of the Rainbow Springs Palace."
"Understood, Sentinel Serenity. I'll do as your daughter and Poruzuka tell me to do, at least for
the time being, even if I don't understand fully why they'll have me do at least one thing, if not more, there.
But I most certainly will, of course, eventually want to know why they'd had me do at least one thing, if not
more, for the obvious reasons, if I don't know why sooner than later."
Then Serenity spent only a few more minutes talking with Serena, Skyhorse, and Poruzuka, for the
obvious reasons, before she signed off, and closed the communications channel that she'd been using to
talk to them. As soon as she did so, Serena and Poruzuka then raised the deflector shields again, so that
the grounds of the Rainbow Springs Palace would again be as safe as possible from attacks from anywhere
above it, of course. Then Serena and Poruzuka then took Skyhorse to the necessary room in the palace,
so that Skyhorse's powers could be dampened to at least some degree, for all the obvious reasons, of
course.
Skyhorse then did exactly what Serena and Poruzuka then told her to do, and her powers were
then dampened about twenty percent or so, for the obvious reasons. Then after that happened for her,
Skyhorse soon asked Serena and Poruzuka, "Will I be able to get them all completely back later, if I need
them?"
"Probably, I think. But for at least the time being, all your powers, Skyhorse, whatever they may
be, are going to be dampened at least ten percent, if not more than that. I know you may not like it very
much here, in fact. But that's the way things must be here and now, if you're actually going to be training
with us all, and if no significant enough trouble arises for any or all of us that'll require all your power to be
accessible to you. Or all the power that the rest of us who'll be training with you here on the grounds of
the Rainbow Springs Palace have already had dampened and stored here for at least a little while, as well.
I'm really sorry if you don't like it, Junior Sailor Skyhorse. But if the rest of us have to have our powers
dampened at least ten percent most, if not all, of the time that we're all on this side of the Moon, then you'll
have to have yours dampened at least that much too, of course," answered Serena, after she'd thought
about such things for at least a few seconds, if not even longer than that. That was so that she could
hopefully explain it at least a bit easier to Skyhorse than if she hadn't done that at all, in fact.
Then, after Serena and Poruzuka talked for at least a few more minutes with Skyhorse, before they
let her leave that room, so that she could rest for a while, if she wanted to do that at all before local dawn
would arrive in the Rainbow Springs area of the Moon. And after she did so, they did so as well, so that
they could get back to bed, if that's where they'd both actually been before Serenity had called them up
from the underground cavern below the Crystal Palace some time before.
Skyhorse eventually took them up on that offer, of course. But as she did, she asked them to show
her where she was to stay for at least as long as she was going to be training with them on the grounds of
the Rainbow Springs Palace, of course. They brought her to the chambers in it that Queen Serenity had
earlier selected for her some length of time after Sylvia and others had gotten back to the Sol solar system
of the Milky Way Galaxy from their recent adventure on Ozotov IV, a planet somewhere in the Cassini
Galaxy. And then, when they were both sure that she was settled well enough in them, they were able, of
course, to return to each of their chambers elsewhere in it, if they really wanted to do so. They soon left
Skyhorse in the necessary chambers in it. And then they went to each of their respective chambers in it,
so that they could go back to sleep, of course. After they left her alone in it, Skyhorse soon transformed
out of her Sailor Scout state of being, and went to sleep for at least a while, of course. And only after she
was sure that all her things were safely inside it, of course, that she'd earlier brought with her to the
Rainbow Springs side of the Moon.
I really do hope that you all have enjoyed the first two stories in this particular story series, and the
first thirteen chapters of this third story, if you've actually gotten this far. And that you'll all continue to read
its related story series, of course, once I put even more of it up here. The other chapters of this third story
in the series will be up shortly, if at all possible, readers, for your information. I really don't know yet just
how long it'll still take me to get each story in this series up fully here. But it might take a while for each
story in this series, just the same, readers. Until later, then, this is "The Universal Storyteller" signing off
here. Happy reading, and God bless, and all that, of course, readers! Over and out!
