The premise of this short fic is simple: this is the reflection of Queen
Serenity's thoughts and feelings as Sailor Moon, when Sailor Mars had died in
her arms in the last arch of the series.
Untethered; A Diary of a Queen by Monikku
My tears dripped, puddled, and dragged across your face like useless limbs. They were significant of my sorrow, of my unbearable feeling of helplessness. You lay there in my arms, dying. My senshi, my friends; you had always said your capacity was as my protectors, but wasn't it I who was to lead and protect you?
I felt so small and childlike, wholly unable to conjure the strength necessary to go on. You, my precious Mars, my dearest friend, one whom I love so inexplicably, indefinably. You always felt a mirror of my soul, the opposite reflection of the exact same being.
I had failed to protect you.
If never before I had truly felt the existence of my heart, I did in that moment. My heart pounded intensely, and it clenched and ached with suffering.
The well of my tears felt endless, and its endlessness was but a meager offering.
One by one, my senshi left me, and when you dissipated into nothingness,
Rei, I thought I might die of sheer sadness. Even now, as I write this a millenia later, my tears fall, distorting the words on these pages of my heart.
I had weild my pain like a mighty kitana, and fought Galaxia with the collective good will of my senshi. It was with your strength I was able to succeed. If it had been solely up to me, I would have laid and died with you all, my most beloved.
To see you after such a harrowing fight... could any of you forgive me?
You, who gave your lives, I hadn't squandered your sacrifice, but could you forgive the sacrifice you were forced to make over my own mistakes?
Meeting all of your eyes especially yours, Rei, for some reason, proved a greater feat than ever vanquishing Galaxia, but your smile and tenderness conveyed, spoke volumes. There was no forgiveness, none was needed.
The bond, it has always seemed unspoken, but I write a tribute to you now.
I love you. My precious friends, I love you dearly. All of you hold a piece to the puzzle of my being, and through the years, I have come to find,
that yours, Rei, shines a fiery red.
Fin.
Eh, it's kind of muddled, I had to write it quickly. I'm late for work! EEP!
