Title: The Failure return Author: Goddess Of War Rating: PG SeductiveAngel9@aol.com Standard disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon I only own Mamo-chan and Seiya. ^.^ She sat upon one of the many encircling stones around the crystal clear lake that broke up the dense foliage of the forest which he so often found refuge in. Late in the day, the sun already begun it's descent past the horizon, tinting the sky a blended bright crimson fading to a deep indigo, a few star twinkled brightly here and there, very bright, being so far away from the city...they reflected in her big bright aqua hues, blinking slowly up at the sky... then turning to look at the lake, which reflected them perfectly...the water was motionless, like a ebony mirror reflecting the beautiful sky...she stared into it like a woman possessed, at the clear water, who's surface looked so solid...as if the lake where the sky, and she was looking up....the 'sky' rippled, the stars moving slightly with concentric circle waves from the center of the 'sky'....she just stared blatantly as if nothing had happened, nothing unordinary. An alter. A dull stone similar to the ones that circled the lake slowly rose from the center, only decorated with ornate cuneiform type writing, rising up two feet from the surface, though clearly much larger underneath the waters. A strange voice rang through Usa-chan's head like shifting sand; strangely beautiful and sorrowful like the call of the siren.... the symbols glowed with a bright blue incandescence. "You have sinned my child. You have failed me...return to the earth (ground) from which you came, perhaps after penance is paid you may return, but it looks bleak.... you have failed me.... Come...come... come... come..." And he came, stepping out onto the surface of the 'sky' which now seemed just as solid as it appeared, holding firmly beneath his feet, the stars now overtaking it, twinkling beneath her feet...she neared the alter...laid upon it...the cuneiform fading into a brilliant scarlet...and sank back down into the waters of the lake.... and the stars winked out...the lake gone...the forest dead.... gone as if it had never been there at all. "I shall wipe you from all whose memory you reside in Princess Usagi, they are your victims of your sin" Onyx violet mist surrounded her; with a piercing scream only the dead could ever understand she was gone her clothes lay there in a shredded pile, bleakly. The end. Sad I know... But things will pick up to have a happy ending. Thank you to all who have inspired me to write... Grape, Aria... all of you thank you. I really appreciate it. Thank you Noah for the help! I owe you! *Huggle* And to everyone else Yumpop, Bit, Chris... thanks for being there for me. Love always, Goddess
