Chapter Ten: The Light With In
The Moon Kingdom...
They all gathered around inside the conference room. The King stared at the window feeling hopeless. "What are we going to do?" Sailor Venus asked as she looked around the room. "We are going to rescue her!" Sailor Mars shouted as she slammed her fist on the table. "No.." A low voice said. They all looked over at the King. "What do you mean no?" Samuel asked as anger started to rise with in him. "It's begun, there's nothing we can do..." The King said sadly as he turned and faced the group of teenagers. "What has?" Darien asked as he looked up from the floor with his back against the wall.
The King sighed as he walked towards the table and placed his hands on the top of a chair. "When Serena was born...Lord Hector placed a curse upon my family and he told me by Serena's sixteenth birthday, everything I love would come into ruin and Serena would be his.." The King said as he closed his eyes. For a moment the room was silent. "Well I won't give up." Darien said as glared at the King. "Son..It's not about giving up or not...I've tried for years to prevent the curse from happening and the plan only failed." The King said as he stared into the young prince's eyes. "I'm sorry son, you must accept what fate has brought to us." The King said sadly.
Darien clenched his fist as he closed his eyes and a red light began to glow around his chest. "I will not accept this..I love her and I will do everything in my power to see that she is safe..." He said sternly as the light glowed brighter. The King and the others stared at the light as Darien vanished from the room. "What happened?" Sailor Mars asked as they looked to the King. "I..I don't know.." He said in shock as he stared at the spot where Darien stood.
Nemisis..
"Darien.." Serena whispered as she slowly opened her eyes as more tears fell down her cheeks. A silver light began to glow from her chest. "Huh?" She asked puzzled as she looked down at the light. Before she knew it the light surrounded her and she vanished from the room.
The Moon Kingdom...
Darien appeared in the gardens on the moon, next to the broken silver fountain. He looked around as the red light disappeared. 'What am I doing here?' He wondered as a bright silver light appeared. He closed his eyes until the light vanished. When he opened his eyes, there she stood. "Serena?" He asked in disbelief. "Darien!" She cried as she ran to him wrapping her arms around his waist. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "What happened?" He asked as he looked down at her. She looked up from his chest. "I don't know.." She replied as she stared into his eyes.
They walked into the conference room where he had left them. "Serena!" Sailor Mercury's eyes widened as she saw her. "Ami, Lita, Mina, Rae!" Serena cried as she ran to her friends. She hugged each and everyone of them. "How did you escape?" King Jonathan asked as he walked over to her. She looked over at her father. "I don't know...I was sitting in a room crying when a silver light began to glow from my chest. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in the gardens with Darien." She explained.
"The Queen of Venus was right.." A small voice said from the doorway. Everyone turned around and looked at a small white cat. "What do you mean, Artemis?" The King asked. "The Heart stones...Serena and Darien share the same heart stone. From the moment they were born they were destined to be together. Their love for one another is very strong and it is them who will break this cruse and stop Lord Hector, your highness..." Artemis replied.
