It looked like Hell was reigning down on the Moon. Everywhere Princess Serenity looked, her people were dying. She watched as Beryl's infected minions came after her people and slaughtered them. Despair washed over her. She then screamed as Sailor Mercury was stabbed through the heart and fell dead.
Endymion pulled her close, "Darling, Serenity, don't fear. I will protect you."
"Everyone is dying. It isn't me that I am afraid for. I don't know what to do!" she began to cry.
He lifted her chin and kissed away her tears. "I am with you. Stay with me, and don't give up hope."
She nodded and clung to him. She believed him when he said he would help her through this. He was always there for her. She trusted him.
He started to lead her away from the fighting in the courtyard when she saw Sailor Venus. She smiled and was about to shout for her when, to her horror, more minions showed up. She missed what happened in the chaos, but when it was done, Sailor Venus laid on the cold stone, dead. Serena ran to her, only to find her head at an odd angle and a vacant look in her eyes. She wept over her fallen friend.
Endymion caught up to her and pulled her into his embrace. "I am so sorry. You know she was a dear friend to me too. I know you were even closer with her. We need to get you away from here. She would want you safe."
Princess Serenity nodded and took his hand as they started running. He held onto her tightly, and she found strength from his firm grip.
Then, to her horror, Beryl, dripping with evil energy, loomed up in front of them. She sneered at Serenity. She said, "I am going to kill your Moon-whore, and then you will be mine, Endymion!"
"Never!" he shouted. "I will never marry anyone, but her."
"You won't have a choice!" she suddenly blasted evil energy at Serenity. She cackled as she anticipated her death.
Serenity was devastated when she watched Endymion jump in front of her and take the full blast of Beryl's attack. She dropped to her knees and looked for signs of life. Nothing. There was nothing. What she found was a gaping whole in his chest where his heart used to be.
She wept, completely ignorant of Beryl's screams.
She looked around and the noise and horror of battle overwhelmed her. She reached and picked up Endymion's fallen sword. She kissed his lips and said, "I will follow you anywhere." She then plunged the sword in her chest and breathed her last.
All of a sudden, there was a beautiful woman standing in front of her. She said, "My beloved daughter, I give you a second chance at life, and love, in a time of peace."
Serena woke up weeping that morning.
As she got ready for class, the whole experience haunted her. She couldn't figure out why she felt like it was more than a dream. She was sure it was though. Something about it just felt true. She looked at herself in the mirror, and to her shock, her hair lightened to silver. She startled and looked again. It was back to its normal golden blonde.
She huffed as she looked at her class schedule. Her second year of University meant taking classes that pertained to her political science major. She had to take English, and she was not looking forward to it. At all.
She walked into class and stopped dead in her tracks. There, talking to some other classmate was him, it was Endymion. How was that possible? As if she had called out to him, he turned to look at her instantly. His face transformed to one of shock.
That morning had already been a long one for Darien. He had woken to the usual dreams, or not dreams. He was sure that they were memories of a past life. As ridiculous as that sounded, he admitted that there was something in them that rang true.
He huffed and admitted he wanted them to be true. He dreamed of a beautiful Princess that adored him. Who wouldn't want that?
Something in his gut gnawed at him. He grew more and more desperate to find her. He only hoped when he did, that she would remember him too. He couldn't stomach the idea that she wouldn't already be in love with him too. He craved that kind of love. As an orphan, he hadn't ever been loved, and now he remembered the love of a soulmate. He desperately wanted that in his life.
He smiled as he looked at his first class that day. He was going to be taking English. He was excited to learn more so that he could read medical research papers in his career. They were predominantly written in English now.
He walked to class with his friend Zoisite. The both managed to take the same class together. It was hard working that out with both of their busy class loads. Darien was glad he would have someone equally proficient to study with.
He stood in the classroom speaking to him when he felt an intense need to turn around. When he did, it felt like all of the air left his lungs. He was shocked. It was her.
On the bad nights, when he slept, he had fought for her night after night. On the good ones, he held her in his arms and kissed her. And now here she was, flesh and blood, staring at him. He didn't even excuse himself. He just walked away from his friend and up to her.
She said in a breathy tone, "This time my name is Serena."
"Darien." he replied. He then swept her into his arms and kissed her.
