I sit next to Neo Queen Mikayla who smiled and laid a hand on my arm.
"Pluto. Do you remember when I fled to the Void after an attempt on my life?" asked Neo Queen Mikayla. "Yes. You were 5 years old and could not understand why." I reply.
Protective moment alert!
I stand at the Time-Space door garnet-hued eyes closed in quiet meditation trying to calm the worry flooding my mind but my thoughts kept turning to the little princess who had started to slowly reawaken my sleeping heart. I just hope she is safe. I thought. I saw a figure running through the mist and fog. As the figure came closer I saw it was indeed the Princess and she was crying from terror. She clung to me sobbing. I knelt hugging her to reassure her. "Pluto…I-I'm s-scared." sobbed the princess. "I won't let ANYONE harm you. I promise." I said realizing my protective instincts were kicking in. "I trust you." whispered the little girl. "Mikayla!" I heard Queen Serenity call. The princess continued to cling to me. "Pluto? Why does she cling to you?" asked Queen Serenity. "She is afraid and I promised her I would always protect her," I reply. "Why is she so afraid?" "Nightmare took control of a servant and tried to kill her through the servant." replied Queen Serenity. "Oh. No wonder she looks about to panic," I comment then kneel to comfort the crying princess. "It's alright. It's alright. I won't let anyone harm you." The little girl nodded. She attempted to smile but she was still scared. I hug the little princess. "Go home now. It is safe again. But before you go… Take this key," I said then hand her a Space-Time Key. "Use it when you wish to visit."
"I still have that key." said Neo Queen Mikayla with a smile.
