10 days later

The atmosphere between Rei and the others still awkward. Rei just give a very simple greeting to Ami and Makoto, the worst one was the commander. She didn't even look at her everytime they met.

Today, they all had gathered in throne room. Serenity still clueless about relationship between her friends happily started the meetings.

"It has almost 3 month Rei been with us. She is very serious going through her training and lessons, I think it's time to have a little fun. How about it, Setsuna?" Serenity shot a look to Rei then Setsuna beside her.

"You always make everyday your fun day..." Setsuna said softly. Haruka and Michiru smiled in agreement.

"Oh, I want holiday for Rei." Serenity didn't want Rei look at her as unreasonable person.

"Thank you then." Rei bowed slightly to the adorable queen.

"You haven't see the scenery outside the palace right? How about we have a camp for a week!" Serenity blurted out her idea. Everyone except Rei looked the queen with unbelieavable stare.

"You mean... a royal camp? At time like this?" Minako became the first to react.

"Of course!" Serenity answered full of spirit.

It seemed, Minako wanted to object the idea, but seeing her queen in such high level spirit... she prefer to silence.

"It will be fun, Rei. We will get fresh air on the mountain and visit the legendary waterfall." Serenity said.

Again, everyone at the room looked each other with understanding expression. They now knew the queen's real intention.

"Legendary waterfall?" Rei seemed notice something was off when Serenity said the part.

"..." Serenity took a minute to get an approvement from Setsuna and then got back to Rei.

"There the sword of fire lies. It is an inherintance from Fire... to you." Serenity felt a bitter taste on her tongue everytime she spoke out Fire's name.

Rei now understand. So, this journey won't be a simple holiday afterall.

"It's also a test for you. Whether you can claim the sword or not." Setsuna continued. Rei's brow lifted demanding further explanation.

"There are several knights and element users trying to claim the sword. Each of them failed and dead. It means, if you fail you will be gone forever into the eternal fire." Setsuna explained more. She knew Rei must know the basic knowledge about the sword.

"The sword will choose you. Even though Fire personally chose you as a substitute, the sword could refuse your existence easily."

Rei winced when the time keeper said the word 'subtitute.' It was her status until she restore this dimension into peace.

"It is a hard trial, Rei. Are you ready?" Serenity took over the conversation. Sometimes Setsuna was too harsh in words although there are no offense in her words.

"I just need to claim the sword right? Anyway... what happen if I die before fulfilling the prophecy? Do I need to choose another subtitute?" Rei half joking and found the rest of group did not like her joke.

"We will be doomed Rei. Because you are our last hope. So, please..." Serenity's hand found Rei's arm and clenched it tightly.

"Please help us... I beg you." Rei lost at words with sudden plea from the queen. Rei encountered with Minako's eyes accidentally. The cerulean eyes looked so sad and full of hidden sorrows in them. If being a messiah, Rei could erase all of the sorrows from those beautiful eyes, she would voluntarily stood up for Valykrie.

"You don't have to beg. I will help you no matter what." At that time, Rei looked at Minako with a longing stare.
