Where the Moon Stood Still

By SMYGO4EVA

It was always temporary, what time held for each and every one of them, for Setsuna, especially.

She was Time's Guardian, she was aware that it was all fleeting, never to last forever, and she was the soldier of Pluto.

Setsuna blinked, and she saw Queen Serenity by her side, in the darkness of the royal bedchambers.

"My dear, are you alright?" She whispered to her, gently touching Setsuna's cheek with her fingers, so elegantly, so gracefully.

Setsuna couldn't help but smile at her Queen.

"Yes, my Queen, yes I am…"

She knew this too would be a memory, that this moment could last an eternity if she wished, but she could not.

"I'm glad to have you by my side, Setsuna," Queen Serenity said to her, twining their fingers together, and Setsuna felt her heart skip a beat.

"I need nothing more than that." Setsuna replied, a lump forming in her throat.

She could speak to the living dead no more.
