Chapter 11: sapphire crystal
Months past and the scouts were no closer to getting Serena back. Darien had become an empty shell his mind lost in the past. The scouts helped as much as possible he knew that but only getting Serena would ever bring back the real world. Seiya and Serena spent many days together as Seiya tried to wear her down for his control to tak eplace. Nothing worked and Seiya became frustrated as Serena stayed put against her restraints , Seiya knew she was stuck somewhere away from him but it didn't help at all.
Serena was focusing on her crystal, somewhere in mina's possession. It kept her away from Seiya's control, it hdbeen what had kept her from his control after saving Andrew, because she had used it. Serena knew eventually she would have to leave the comfort of the light and let herelf be controlled again. It didn't take long after three months. She thought Seiya had left and coming awake took a long time eventually when her eues fluttered open she knew she had been wrong. A hand passed over her face and she felt the control slip into place.
To Serena it felt like her mind was being pulled into oblivion where she could see and hear everything that was happening but was unable to do anything about it suddenly Seiya was in control again though Serena fought she knew she would be unable to win.
Two more months passed during the length of time for them to see each other but when they did Darien was prepared for anything to happen not with crystal but what he had leaned in his time in the past. We he hoped it would help him.
Serena and Seiya stood in the park doing target practice at objects around them it wasn't long for the scouts and princes showed up, to Seiya's distain.
"okay Seiya we need to talk, we want serenity and you must want something, that isnt Serena , from the past maybe…" Darien said tactically he had to get his brother to give in. maybe this plan would work after all but it was not to be so.
"I don't want anything from the past trust me I have all I need in my pretty princess." Serena mind screamed as Darien shrugged and turned away letting the scouts destroy them.
"no stop." Her mind came back into control for aq second, Darien turned at her voice she smiled. Darien began to glow bright blue. He soon stood in a darker blue of armour with his insignia talismans holding his cloak. The sapphire crystal sat I n his hand sparkling brilliantly in the daylight. Serena smiled softly before Seiya pulled her mind in to check. Seiya himself smiled as he walked over to his astounded brother, "so you finally have the means to destroy me, or you can give it to me and save serenity because if I die so does she.
Darien knew Seiya was lying he could tell something between them told Darien Seiya was lying. Gripping the crystal Darien turned and left Seiya to curse as he lead Serena away.
