Chapter 3
Serena looked at the woman across the table from her in shock. She couldn't believe that she just heard the name of her mother from when the Moon Kingdom existed. "How do you know about her?"
Katriana smiled at the girl. "I know a lot about your past and your future. But I also know that you have been through a lot lately and need someone to talk to."
"Here you are Serena, and it's on the house. You look like you have had a rough day." Andrew placed the shake in front of Serena and walked away.
"Serena, what happened for you to look so down?" Katriana looked at the girl in concern as she watched the tears fall down Serena's face.
"My life is a mess right now. I just feel like no one I care about believes in me any more." Serena wiped the tears and looked at the brunet inquisitively. "You said you knew Serenity? How is that possible?"
"I worked for her before Beryl destroyed the Kingdom. I was away from the Moon Kingdom visiting family when Beryl attacked and destroyed the moon. I got word from a good friend of your mothers and she told me that she hoped I would help out when the time was right. So I waited and live my life until she contacted me last week and asked me to come find you.
"She told me that things were going down hill for you and that maybe it would be the right time to introduce you to myself and invite you to do something no one else has ever been offered." Katriana explained calmly. "Your mother was a wonderful woman who I have a great deal of respect for even though she is dead. Why is your life such a mess right now?"
Serena looked at Katriana in amazement and could tell that she was telling her the truth. She knew, somehow, that this woman truly wanted to help her. "I used to fail at everything. Then in recent months I started to improve, my duties to the world, school, even klutzing out. But no one believed it. Then last night my boyfriend Darien broke up with me."
Katriana looked at the teen in surprise. "Endymion broke up with you? This makes no sense to me."
Serena nodded, tears welling up in her blue eyes. "He told me that he no longer loved me and that he would not be controlled by destiny. He told me that Crystal Tokyo didn't matter to him anymore."
Andrew stopped wiping the table behind Serena and the mystery woman in shock. 'So that's what happened to cause Serena to look so sad.'
Katriana looked at the teen in sympathy. "I am gather that this wasn't even the worst of it."
Serena nodded. "Today I was late for a meeting with my friends because I had my first detention in months and when I arrived at the meeting place I overheard them saying what a pain I was and how much of a failure I was. I was in shock and so instead of making my presence known I turned and came here."
"Wow. They sure turned their backs on you. Serena, I think I might be able to help you." Katriana sat back and smiled.
"How? There is nothing that can change my destiny."
"Actually there is. You can if you are willing to." Katriana smiled knowingly. "And I can help you do that. You still want the future to be what you saw it as when Rini came to get your help?"
"How? Darien broke up with me. I want Crystal Tokyo to happen. I want to be strong, like I saw when we helped Rini out."
Katriana smiled and stood up. "Well, Moon Princess are you willing to change your future and destiny? If so we better get going before anyone knows you are missing. Are you ready to become strong and face your true destiny?"
Serena stood up and looked at Katriana in the eye. "What do I need to do?"
