Endymion walked into the dark room and opened the curtains, letting the morning sunlight get into the dark room.
"Mistress, it's time to get up" he said.
The figure in the bed stirred before finally pushing the dark covers off her and standing up. Endymion walked over and helped her into her robe, while Serenity yawn and rubbed her eyes.
"I'll send Luna to help you dress" Endymion said before he walked out of the room.
Serenity walked towards the bathroom just as the door opened to reveal an older woman about 30ish with black dark hair and bright eyes.
"Luna" Serenity said
"Yes my lady?"
"Black"
"Of course" Luna said as she picked out a black dress and placed in on the bed. She went into the bathroom and helped her mistress bathe. Luna washed Serenity's long blonde hair,
"Luna" Serenity suddenly spoke.
"Yes?" Luna asked
"What do you think?" she asked
"About?" Luna said as she finished her hair.
"What I have done so far" Serenity said.
"Please stand…I don't seem to understand your question" Luna said as she wrapped a towel around Serenity's body and helped her out of the tub.
"My parents, what do you think they would think about what I have done so far." Serenity said as she walked out and to the room where she let Luna dress her.
"I believe that they would be very proud of you. You have made great shares and now you are more influential than ever. You have been able to extend the factory over all the places now. The Tsukino household is beyond what your parents could ever dream of. I can say for certain that they are proud of you and what you have accomplished." Luna said as she guided Serenity to her dresser and sat her down to do her hair.
Serenity looked at Luna thru her mirror and nodded at her as Luna finished her job and left the room. Serenity stared at her reflection, a goddess or so she heard people tell her. All of them told her, she was a goddess with her blonde hair that was like a cascade of gold liquid flowing. Skin milky white, soft to the touch, pink lips that needed no makeup, eyelashes dark and full that adored her light blue silver eyes. But her eyes were dull, they no longer held that innocent loving spark she had. No, life had put through many hardships. Her eyes were now those of a killer, cold and calculating. No warmth needed, no that was not necessary one has to do what they must in order to survive life. Cold eyes stared at her as she looked in the mirror, she was snapped out of her thought when the door to her room opened and shut. She looked through her mirror to see her butler, Endymion. She watched as he poured tea in a cup and brought it to her.
"Are you well Mistress?" Endymion asked.
"Of course" Serenity replied as she picked up her cup, she inhaled the scent and a brief smiled appeared on her lips she took her sip.
"Mistress, we need to start to head out if we want to reach the shrine on time." Endymion said
"Mmm, yes we should get going." Serenity replied as she finished her tea, handing it back to Endymion who took it and placed it on the small cart.
Serenity stood and walked out leaving Endymion to follow her and place the things in the necessary place in the kitchen. She stood as Endymion helped her onto her coat and walked out of the mansion and onto the carriage awaiting them. Endymion told the driver where to go as they left the mansions drive. Serena stared in boredom at the scenery, watched at trees and houses, roads, a lake passed by. She looked up at the sky and saw a flock of birds, she narrowed her eyes at them and looked away.
"Mistress?" Endymion asked.
"Nothing. We seem to be taking quite a while to get there" Serenity replied
"Yes, we had to take a different route." He replied
"Why?" she asked
"It seems that some trees have been chopped down and they are still picking them up." Endymion replied
"How much longer?" Serenity asked
"We should be arriving about now mistress" Endymion said just as the carriage came to a stop.
Endymion exit and helped Serenity out. She looked up and began to walk towards the path that would lead to the shrine. Endymion followed her as they walked and soon they were in front of the shrine. Serenity waited as she gave a nod to Endymion who went and looked for Rei. Serenity walked to find a maiden making charms, there were plenty of girls there she smirked as she heard one of the girls ask for a charm that would help her with her love life.
"Mistress"
Serenity turned to look at her butler and saw Rei behind her a few feet away she nodded and began to walk towards Rei. They both followed Rei as she walked towards a garden that had a table in the middle of it, the table sat in the shade of a huge tree that was located in the middle of the garden. Rei sat down and invited Serenity to sit, Endymion pulled Serenity's chair before she sat and pushed her in.
"Would you like some tea?" Rei asked.
"I'm sure my butler can handle it. Let him do it and let's get down to business" Serenity replied as she nodded at Endymion.
Endymion prepared the tea and set a cup for his mistress and then for Rei. He stood behind his mistress.
"Very well, what are the news that you needed to share with me?" Serenity asked.
"It appears that there is someone who is planning on vengeance against you. I do not know the reason yet, it seems that it's a grudge that has been held for a while and from what I have gathered it has to do with a portion of the land you own in the country" Rei said as she gazed into the tea cup.
"His name?" Serenity questioned.
"I have not gathered a specific name however I do have the family name; it is the St. Clair." Raye said.
"Very well. If that is all, I must get going." Serenity said as she stood up.
"Lady Serenity, there is a lot of darkness around you, around your soul. It no longer shines if you do not stop the darkness will devour your soul completely and bring you to death." Rei said as she stared straight into Serenity's eyes.
Serenity stood straight and with pride, she looked back at Rei with her cold eyes, "Do not preach to me about souls. I do not need a soul to do what I must. I will warn you now, Do Not Get In My Way." Serenity turned and walked away followed by Endymion who smirked at what happen but hid after a few seconds.
