I don't own BSSM. Takeuchi Naoko does. But I do own Sailor Star Grace (Aurora), Dearien, Ginger and Julia so don't take them! Thanks!
In this chapter I explain some things about Aurora and Dearien's mission and I introduce a new character! Don't worry, the canons will appear soon!
Chapter 1
'Dearien, we should do something!' Aurora said, who had woken with a sense of distress that morning, as she entered the kitchen to join Dearien, who had just made breakfast.
'What can we do, my lady? It is impossible for us to find the source of the evil and one thing I'm sure of is that we can't go back', Dearien said while sipping his coffee. His dark brown hair was all over his beautiful face and his purplish-blue eyes were gazing the bright blue morning sky outside the window.
'I do know that, Dearien. We were sent here in order to find allies and the true nature of the evil that shades our universe, but in order to do so, the first thing that needs to be done is for us to find the sailor warriors who exist in this parallel universe. But Dearien, last night, when that curious sailor warrior showed up, I didn't feel her energy; it was as if she wasn't really there; she was like a shadow of her true self' said Aurora while sitting on a chair and grabbing a toast. Her dark blond hair was like pure gold under the sunshine that filled the room. There was a puzzled expression on her pretty face and her cerulean eyes were staring at the cup of coffee she had in front of her without actually realizing what she was looking.
'I didn't feel her energy either, and I admit that this is a little bit strange but, my lady, this warrior, even though it is perhaps just a shadow of her true self, is the closest thing to our goal. We've already spent half a year on this Earth and we haven't felt any energy that could reveal the existence of the warriors. Perhaps we should search in another universe, or perhaps on this solar system's other planets.'
'Dearien, the oracle Kassandra was clear.' quoted Aurora. 'In this universe', the remaining planets are dead, without a trace of life, without kingdoms. Only Earth survived from that which destroyed the other planets, and only here can we find the warriors and awaken them, because the destruction of the other planets was their fault. They thought that they should protect just their planet, and their arrogance prevented them from helping the other sailor warriors on the other planets. And when life on the other planets was no more, they felt so guilty that they erased their memory with an ancient spell, and they have lived in oblivion ever since; and they are being reborn, again and again, without knowing their great past, without knowing themselves; they are just reborn so that when they are needed again they will be awakened and might undo the harm they caused with their actions. Those were the words of the oracle. That's why this Earth is the only place the warriors can be found. However, I believe that yesterday we made some progress to the completion of our goal.'
'Yes I also believe that, my lady, and we should search to find this warrior.' Dearien added.
'Yes, I believe tonight we should begin looking for her. But there is also another matter, the one of the monsters. Dearien, I've never seen something so dreadful in my entire life, not even in our own galaxy. That spectacle was hideous; I thought that I was going to vomit. Whatever those things were, they must have been something really shady and dark'.
'Ah, now I remember' Dearien said and finished his coffee quickly. ' My lady, when I took the victims to the hospital, I sat there for a few hours and with discretion accomplished to learn roughly in what situation they were. I heard a doctor saying that both the victims had an identical scar on the top of their heads, in the cerebral cavity. The victims showed marks of vitamin deficiency and had scratches all over their bodies but generally they were fine. The most curious clue however is that while I was transporting them to the hospital, I noticed two microscopic tattoos at the base of their nape. Both of them were pentacles.'
'Necromancy ', Aurora muttered and her expression showed disgust mixed with horror.
'Most likely', Dearien said thoughtfully.
That moment the clock struck nine and Aurora stood up.
'Ah, I will be late for my first hour! I have laboratory and I have to attend it!'
Turning to Dearien she said: ' I'm going to get dressed. You should also go and prepare for work. If we want to look like humans we should be persuasive. Ah, and, Dearien, please stop referring to me as "lady". People here cannot understand what ' Protector of the Soul ' means, ok?'
'Ok, my lady ' Dearien said disheartened.
'You can begin training now ' she said irritated. 'Just refer to me with my name, ok?'
'Ok Lady Aurora'
'Just Aurora'.
'Ok lady Just Aurora', he said with a smile on his beautiful face.
'You, and your sense of humour', Aurora said in anger, and went in her bedroom to get changed and.
In the meanwhile, not far from Aurora's block, a twenty-year old girl, just a year older than Aurora and Dearien, named Julia, had to deal with her own problems.
When she woke up, Julia realised that she was laying on the grass in her courtyard and she waited a few seconds there just to completely realise the situation she was into; when she finally put the thoughts inside her head in order, she raised slowly and took out the key to her house from the front pocket of her jeans.
She unlocked the door and got into her house with a tired expression on her face. She was heading to the kitchen when she accidentally glanced at her image in the mirror in the hallway and she was quite shocked from her appearance. Her long blue-black hair had little leaves in them and pieces of grass and her face had mud all over it. Her jeans and t-shirt had stains of grass and mud and she took an expression of distaste when she tried to clean the mud off her face.
'Oh God, it's disgusting… How did I end up like this?' Julia sighed and went to the bathroom to wash her face and put her dirty clothes in the washing machine. She washed her face with hot water and when she looked in the mirror above the sink and was satisfied with her image she took the fluffy green towel which was hanging next to the sink and swept her face. Then, she started removing the leaves and the dirt from her hair while brushing it.
'Well, it's not perfect but it's something', she moaned while looking at her image in the mirror again. 'And now' she said as she walked out of the bathroom, 'clean clothes!' and headed to her bedroom.
'Ginger! Oh, sweetie, how are you?' Julia said when she walked in her bedroom and found her little white cat waiting for her and purring with impatience.
'Were you worried about me?' Julia said and kneeled to stroke Ginger's soft fur while she was rubbing on her ankles
'Oh, yes, you were,! Yes, you were!' giggled Julia and stroke Ginger behind the ears while she purred with happiness. 'And I am worried about me as well', Julia added seriously a second later. She had a strange expression as she raised slowly. She put on her pyjamas and left her bedroom.
'Come on, Ginger, I'll make your breakfast' she said while she entered the kitchen. Something was troubling her. Julia opened the fridge and got the milk for Ginger. She bent to grab Ginger's bowl and poured some milk inside it, while talking to her cat which had just entered the kitchen.
'The same thing happened to me again, Ginger. I can't remember anything… and my head is ready to explode… Ginger, something is the matter with me lately… ' Julia said and put the bowl down so Ginger could reach it.
'I apologize for not being here to prepare your breakfast earlier, Ginger ', Julia sighed and stroke her cat again.
Ginger had an expression that showed she understood and she started drinking and purring to show Julia she had totally forgiven her.
Julia sat on a chair and glanced around. 'Honestly, something is happening to me lately, Ginger… I remember that last night I came back from work and, without removing my clothes, I sat on the couch to watch TV. I also remember it was raining, but everything else is so blurry…. I had a headache; a terrible headache, that I remember, and when I went to the kitchen to take a painkiller, suddenly the world collapsed…I think I had a dream; a strange dream. Something about a fight. And…and…' Julia shivered. 'And… about some terrible creatures and I think I knew what they were but I can't remember. And there were some eccentrically dressed people; a young woman; and a beautiful young man who, I think, was protecting the woman. And a red… a red shining. I can't remember what that was either… But… I was spying on them, I think. And I felt evil inside, Ginger. And…I ... I … I liked it. I was laughing with an exhilarated laugh. Then, the world collapsed again. And magically, I woke up today in my courtyard!' she said in despair.
She glanced at her cat and took a deep gulp of air; she felt her forehead burning. But when she touched it to check her temperature, it was cool.
Ginger had finished her breakfast and she meowed to draw Julia's attention.
'Ah, I think I'm pretty tired from work…' Julia said with a yawn. 'I am probably sleepwalking. It is the third time in two months that I've woken up in curious points, and the second time that I've woken up outside the house...' she said sounding puzzled. 'But it's the first time I saw a dream…Well, if this memory loss continues and my night walks as well, I'll go to see a doctor…Ginger, what's your opinion on the matter?' she asked her cat.
Ginger, who had laid down on the kitchen's floor, raised her little head and meowed as if she was answering to Julia's question.
'That's what I'm sayin' too. It's probably the work pressure that causes me all these problems' Julia said and she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
