Chapter 19

Dream Sequence

Darien looked around at his surroundings in awe. All around him people were celebrating and happy. He watched as the people cheered as the fireworks went off overhead. He started to wonder what was going on when he felt someone come up and stand next to him.

"What are you doing here Endymion? You should be at the palace celebrating with Serena." Katri spoke to him politely.

"I just needed to think." Endymion responded. "I am surprised that Serena wanted to celebrate like this."

Katri laughed at his statement. "Endymion, she didn't plan this, Queen Serenity did. She wanted to celebrate your upcoming marriage with gusto. Serena is waiting for you to join her in dancing and celebrating." She looked at him in concern. "Endymion, what is wrong? I know we don't get along, especially after everything that has happened since I became captain of the Senshi, but something is bothering you. Feel like talking?"

"Lady Akusai approached me again. She is getting more persistent and demanding. She wants me to marry her and not Serena." Endymion replied after a short time.

"What do you want to do?" Katri asked.

"I am honestly not sure." Endymion sighed as he looked over the vastness of the celebrating. "I don't even know if I should tell Serena about it."

"Endymion, this is something that only you can make a decision on. If I were you though, I would be honest with her and tell her." Katri walked away and headed towards the palace for the celebration.

"Hello Prince Endymion." Lady Akusai walked up to him. "Such a wonderful night for a celebration, don't you think?"

Endymion nodded to the woman. "Lady Akusai, it is a wonderful evening. What are you doing here? I know you were listening to Lady Katriana and I."

Lady Akusai laughed at him kindly. "You know me too well. I was wondering if you made a decision on who you were going to choose, me or the little Princess Serenity."

Dream Sequence end

Darien woke up with a start. Never had he experienced a dream like that one. He rolled over and looked at his clock. He sighed and realized it was time to get up. It had been three short days since Serena's surprise visit, three days since the dreams started coming. Each time he found himself in a different situation and each time Akusai was there asking him to marry her instead of Serena. This time it was the night of his engagement celebration and this time he knew that the choice he made was to be with Serena.

He got out of bed and continued to think about the dream as he got ready for his day. Akusai refused to talk to him still, and now he was beginning to see why. Katri knew more about his fiancé than he did and now he was starting to understand just how little he truly knew about her. And now all he could think about was the words Serena said just before she left. Now, more than ever did he feel like he needed to talk with her, but would she listen to him after all he had done to her.

Serena looked around the small café wondering what was taking Darien so long. He called her earlier that morning and asked her to meet with him. She technically didn't have the time to do it, but he told her it was important.

"Hey, Sere, can I sit down?" Darien waited for her to answer before sitting down. "Thanks for meeting me on such short notice. I was hoping you could help me."

"Darien, you said it was important, that's why I am here. My coronation is days away and I am in the middle of getting things ready for it." Serena stated calmly.

"I know I am asking a lot from you, but I need to know about something from our days of the Silver Millennium." Darien stated calmly.

Serena looked at him in shock. "Have you regained some memories from that time?"

"I keep having these dreams that Akusai was part of the Moon Kingdom's court. Do you remember her being there?"

Serena looked down at her hands before looking back at him once more, this time her eyes were full of sadness. "I do. I have kept my knowledge to myself for weeks now. She was there, but disappeared just before Beryl's attack. Why do you ask Darien?"

"I have been having dreams of those final days and in each one she was asking me to leave you. Each time I denied her, and I think I am beginning to see why." Darien looked around before continuing. "I think Akusai had something to do with the kingdoms fall. I think your friend Katriana knew that too."

"She does know more than she lets on." Serena nodded in agreement. "What's going on?"

"I am thinking of calling off the engagement." Darien stated suddenly.

Serena looked at him in shock. "What is going on, Darien?"

"Serena, I am not sure exactly is going on. I just know that right now I feel like she isn't being a truthful as she should be if we are getting married in a week." Darien stated bluntly in frustration. "Serena, I am not sure what I am going to do, but I am not ready to make a choice about your coronation."

"Darien, all I will ask of you is to make a choice by the day of the coronation." Serena told him calmly. "Why did you call me about this?"

"Because I needed a friend to talk to and I was hopping we could at least be friends, even after all that I have done to you."

"I can understand that. I think that we could be friends once more, but it will take time." Serena looked at him with her eyes full of kindness. "I can see this is a hard decision for you, and I know you will make the choice that is the best for you." She stood up calmly. "I need to go and continue on with the final preparations. I will see you in a few days."

As Serena walked out of the café Darien realized the one thing that he hadn't noticed before. He still had feelings for Serena and he suddenly knew what he had to do to discover the truth.
