Ok people, here is what's been going on. In the chapters before, the secret has gotten out to Rini who has promised to keep it a secret from the others. In the chapter before this it was explained about the Guardian test, that we would soon join the Inner Scouts, and we have found, but not meet, Sailor Light. Ok people lets met Sailor Light. P.G.13 All comments to ... Reona32@aol.com Destiny Star Thanks for reading! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Part 12 *It Has Begun* I Remember The view of the girl in the bed has not changed and she seems to have no idea that anything is wrong. The sign of Light is still glowing ever so softly. The girl settles and seems to fall back to sleep. I turn to Serenity. She looks at the screen for a minute more before she turns to me also. "Is that Sailor Light?" she asks. I nod. "The symbol is on her forehead. You can feel the power around her even now. As far as I can tell her name is still Alania but she'll have a last name like you did, once I know that last name I'll be able to get more information." I turned back to the screen and concentrate on it. The view moves back out the window to show a full picture of the house. It looks much like Serena's house, but colored differently. It has a low wall around it too and there is a tree in the same place. Alania's window has no balcony as Serena's but its a window seat. As far as I can tell its about the same distance as Serena's house is from the park, only in the opposite direction. The picture zooms in to the house number and street name before going blank. I close my eyes and let my breath out slowly, allowing the built up power to drain away. I look up and blink away the last flashes of Silver light to reveal my normal color. Turning I see Serenity doing the same and her blue color coming through. When she is finished and looks up at me I ask her if she is ready. She nods to me and we both turn to go. The light seeps back, covering the cases and screens again, leaving only the circle and path of light from before. Walking back along the path you can see no door where we had entered from. Coming to the end of the light way, where no more path continues on, we stop and I raise my hand. From my hand spreads a silver light, unlike the white light around us. The light makes a large box before a bright flash reveals the wooden door. It opens up and we walk out into the hall. The door closes and the coidoor is returned back to a normal hall, never seeming that beyond the door was a timeless place of secrets. In the hall once more, we let our princess forms go. Bright lights blind the hall way. Left are two sailor warriors, Sailor Star and Sailor Moon. Without a word we walk out of the hall and down to the Computer Room. The door slides open and we enter. Jonathan jumps up to meet us. "Did you find her?" Its Sailor Moon who answers. "Of course" I walk to the circle table and pick up my lab top computer. Turning I walk back across the room. "Onyx, Eclipse come." I order. Jonathan reaches out and catches my arm. I jerk back at the unexpected action and almost drop my computer. "Whoa, Reona. I want answers. Is she ok?" I sigh* "I don't have time to play twenty questions now, Jonathan. She is fine and she is where we are going." I pull away "Onyx Eclipse" I call. I think snappishly. Onyx and Eclipse walk after me as I head for the door and Sailor Moon. "Hey, wait. I'm coming too." Calls Jonathan as he starts to follow us. I spin around and point my finger at him. "No, this needs to be done as fast as possible and I can't work around you and your feelings." I stop at the sharpness of my words and soften. "With any luck you will see her before dawn." I continue out the door with the cats and Sailor Moon after me. Jonathan turns to Eric, who just shrugs at him helplessly. "Lots of help you are." Jonathan says. He sits down on one of the softer chairs and glares at the door we just went out of. "Ok here's the plan girls." I say when we enter the Main Floor and walk around the furniture to the door. "I've got the address where Alania lives now. We go and do the normal stuff, just like I did for Serena. With luck it will be just as easy. Try not to wake anyone else in the house if you will, there will certainly be parents and maybe other kids. Will go by Pegasus." We walk out of the door and down the steps. "Everyone got that?" I stopped to see all the nods from the others. "Ok, lets go. Onyx Eclipse up." At the 'up' command the two cats jump at us. Now having two large jungle cats jump at you is not a good thing, normally. In mid-jump they begin to change. When they land lightly on our shoulders they are not two large cats but a pair of domestic house pets. Onyx is on my shoulder and Eclipse is on Sailor Moon. They look no bigger than Luna or Artemis would. With that done we call for the Pegasus. "StarLight!" "MoonBeam!" Sparkles of silver and gold explode into the air before us, forming two bodies. Both rare up on there back legs and spread there wings wide before they settle. I smile at the display. Going to them we step up on the invisible step there and swing on to their backs. I place myself behind StarLight's wings and Onyx slips down to sit behind me. Sailor Moon and Eclipse do the same. I put my computer in my space pocket. (Same place the other scouts put the transforming pens.) Grabbing the reins we head for the Shadow Spell. "Shadows Fall!" I call. It shimmers before disappearing. Passing it Sailor Moon call over her shoulder "Shadows Raise!" I scene of a line of trees replaces the manor. Going at a trot we continue down the dirt path to the main part of the park. "Sooooo, where are we going tonight." asks StarLight as she twists her head around to see me. "Oh, I do hope we get to fly tonight. I miss being able to." cuts in MoonBeam also looking at Sailor Moon. I raise my head to see the light from the waxing moon through the canopy of trees we were passing under and shook my head at it. "Sorry you two. Tonight we're going to meet someone. Someone Special." I say. "Ok, you're going to make us guess I see." said MoonBeam. Sailor Moon nodded and laughed at us. It was quite for a few second as they though about who it was. "Well its another Sailor or we wouldn't be here." said MoonBeam when she raised her head. "Yes, it someone you've not meet here yet." said Onyx from behind me, adding to the clues. I stuck out my tongue, that was just giving it away. StarLight stopped and looked at me. "You mean Sailor Light!" "Bingo!!!" cried Sailor Moon, clapping her hands together. Eclipse gave a squeak at the sudden nosie and movement, MoonBeam never flinched. "I will never get used to that." muttered Eclipse. "That's wonderful, LightStreak had been asking about Sailor Light and if she was there." said StarLight. I nodded. "Enough talk we need to go. We are coming to the paved paths up ahead." We stepped out of the tree cover. Looking around we saw no one at this time of night. I nudged StarLight into a strong gallop, making sure to keep to the grass and not the paved path. With little sound we road through the park. Near the entrance I pulled back on the reins and stopped StarLight before we could go into the streets. Sailor Moon stopped next to me. "What do you think," I asked her "the road or the sidewalk?" I didn't know if there was any difference in the two but we needed to make as little noise as we could. She bit her lip. "I don't know, the road would give us more room than the sidewalk." I nodded, thinking it over. "Ok, the road it is." I lead StarLight out of the entrance and to the road not making much noise at all. Shrugging we turned to the left, the opposite way that Serena would take to go home, and started off down the street at a gallop again. At every corner I looked at the street sign for the road that Sailor Light lived on. We passed the road for the school two blocks back so it should be some where around here. Suddenly I stopped StarLight short and MoonBeam skidded up next to us. Sailor Moon was jerked forward. Sitting up she glared at me. "Warn me next time." she mumbled. "Gomen, but I found the street." I pointed to the right. The street name was Kokoio Lane. Sailor Moon stared at the name. I couldn't help but laugh at her. "I know, but your street is Tsuki Drive and I'm not even going there." Kokoio means heart or soul which is what Light reins over and Tsuki means Moon. If you find that funny the street the park is on is Hoshi Road, meaning Star. Onyx almost falls off StarLight at this point. We head down the street. Coming to the fifth house I stop. "This is it." I tell Sailor Moon. We step off of Starlight and MoonBeam. Onyx and Eclipse jump down, when they hit the ground they change back to their old selves. I turn to StarLight and pet her head. "I'll see you when we go back to the manor, maybe even with LightStreak." StarLight nudges my shoulder and disappears. I look to find MoonBeam gone too. I jump onto the low wall around the house, Sailor Moon lands lightly next to me. I point to the bay window and she nods at me. Silently we land in the yard and leap into the window. I grab the edge of the windowsill and looked around the room. Normal teen girls room; dresser, mirror, and closet full of clothes. There is only one bed and there seems to be no one else in the room besides Alania. I slid into the room from the window seat. Onyx and Eclipse jump into the tree and than into the room. "So, now what?" Sailor Moon whispers into my ear. I raise two fingers to silence her. Stepping up to the bed we see that the symbol of Light is still glowing softly. Eclipse sniffs one of Alania's hands that hung over the bed's edge. I lay my hand on her head to keep her from rubbing up against it. She backs away with a solemn look. I look at Sailor Moon and wave my hand at her. She comes over to me and I whisper in her ear. "Go to the other side of the bed. I'm going to have to wake her up, when she does don't let her scream, I'll do the rest." She nods and moves around the bed to the other side. She kneels and I walk over to the bed. I take a steady breath and ever so gently put my hand on Alania's forehead. White light slips through my gloved fingers. I bent down and whisper into her ear. "Alania, Sailor Light, Light Princess" Just like I did with Serena. Hazel eyes snap open and she jerks up in bed. She whips her head around to see me just when Sailor Moon puts her hand over Alania's mouth, stopping any sound. I reach up and grab her head, making her look at me. I stare into confused eyes. "Remember, Alania, Remember Everything." Her light sign flares brightly and I throw up my hands. I hear Sailor Moon gasp. Alania remembers..... Her childhood on the Kingdom of Light...Her first meeting with Princess Serenity and becoming great friends...Becoming friends with the Sailor Scouts....Meeting the Earth court and all of them becoming great friends...the wonderful times they had..Party and Palace Ball.. ..Meeting and falling in love with the brother of the mysterious guardian Sailor Star, Jonathan...Her training as Guardian of Light... ...And the fall of the Kingdom of Light by the Nega Verse. The blinding light subsided and I put down my hands. Alania is sitting with her head on her knees, doing nothing but breathing. Sailor Moon's head pops up from the other side of the bed and she blinks at me. I though sheepishly. "Alania?" asks Eclipse, putting her front paws on the bed. Slowly she raises her head and looks at us. She takes another deep breath. "Reona?" I put my hand on her shoulder, but she shudders under the touch and I pull my hand away. "Hai, Alania its me." Her eyes are wide and confused. "You look like you've seen a ghost." says Sailor Moon from her side of the bed. Another shudder goes through Alania. Onyx groans form the floor at the pun. I look at Sailor Moon, who shrugs at me. I bit my lip and look back at Alania. "You've been having dreams, haven't you." "Yes, I have." Alania smiles at us, a real smile. It is possible that when it is close to the time when a Sailor is to be wakened memories can seep through about their duties and past live by means of the Dream Scape. Suddenly Alania turns and hugs me. "I though I was going crazy." she laughs. Sailor Moon giggles too. "You're no crazier than any of us." she says. Alania lets me go and hugs Sailor Moon. "Serenity, its so good to see you again." Sailor Moon hugs her back. "Now, what have I told you about that." Sailor Moon laughs back. Alania pushes her to arm length and laughs with her. "Your right, Serena." Alania corrects herself. I smile at them. Eclipse jumps up on the bed. Alania raps here arms around the big cat and smiles into her fur. Onyx comes to my elbow and nudges me. I lean down to hear her. "We need to leave, we're making to much nosie here." I look into Onyx's worried eyes and wish she wasn't right, but she was. I tap Alania on the shoulder to get her attention. "We need to go." I whisper. Suddenly knowing the danger of being noticed and seen they nod. Silently we stand and move toward the window. "Wait" whispers Alania. "I don't have my Light Crystal, I can't hiehin." (did I spell that right) We don't need our crystals to transform, our power doesn't come from the crystals. In fact the word 'Crystal' in the hiehin call wasn't even necessary. Sailor Moon opens her mouth to explain but I cut her off. "Later you two. We don't have time for a leason. Just shift into your suit and lets go." Alania nods. In soft white light she shifts into her suit. The suit is just like ours, kind of looking like Alan and Ann's suits. Its pure white with gold acssentes. When she shifts her hair is combed and put up into a half pony tail, letting the rest hang down. We jump out of the window and land in the grass side by side. The cats slip out onto the tree and than the ground. Hurrying around the wall we ran down the street a little ways so not to be seen. At the end of the road we stopped. I turned and looked at the house we just came from, still dark and quite. "Everyone ok?" I ask looking back. They all nod. "Mmmm ok. Onyx Eclipse up." Jumping up they land on our shoulders in their smaller cat size. Eclipse jumps up on Alania's shoulder. Sailor Moon bit her lip and looks away. I put my hand on her arm and she looks at me with tears in her eyes. "Its alright Sailor Moon. Be patient. Soon we will make ourselves known." She nods with a smile. Alania is petting Eclipse fondly on the head. "Ok call your Pegasus. We need to go." We all smile at each other. "StarLight!" "MoonBeam!" "LightStreak!" We call. In the same display as before they come, only where there were two they was now three. Silver, Gold, and White light showers down to reveal the Pegasus. Alania rushes forward and hugs LightStreak. "Its so good to see you again!" LightStreak nudges Alania happily. StarLight rests her chin on my head and I rub my hand against her neck. "LightStreak was so happy to know you were going for Alania." says MoonBeam next to us. I nod at the two. (Ok, recap. The horses are white and there mane and tails are their colors. This means LightStreak is pure white. They have no saddles only leather reins. On the side of their cheeks are small studs on the bridle in the shape of their guard.) I turn and swing up on StarLight. "Ok we need to go." I say. The others get on and all the cats settle in their spots. Turning around we start off down the street in the same strong gallop. I think. Sailor Moon smiles to the world. she thinks still smiling. Alania leans forward and hugs LightStreak from behind. With the Three Guardian Lights whole and one again nothing can stop them. Hopefully............. At the park entrance StarLight and MoonBeam turn but LightStreak is caught off guard and jumps back before following us. I grimace and look back to make sure that she is ok. Going through the park we keep to the grass like before to make less noise. On the dirt path we slow to a trot. Th moon has moved to the other side of the canopy but no morning light shows. At the tree line we stop. "Whoa!" I cal out to make sure that LightStreak stop too. "I've got to do the Shadow Spell before we can go in." Sailor Moon groans and puts on a bored face. (I wont go through it again. You remember it. Alania say Shadow Fall and Shadows Raise and it knows her voice and now works for her:) With that done we move into the yard and go around to the garden. We slid off. "I see you later StarLight." I say running my fingers through her soft mane. She rubs her cheek against me and disappears. I turn just in time to see the last flash of MoonBeam. Alania is hugging LightStreak. When she pulls away she kisses her on the nose and says good-bye. LightStreak disappears just like the others. Walking down the steps we go to the fountain. Alania sits on the edge and pets Eclipse. I arch my back and stretch to get the kinks out. I run my hand through my hair to smooth it. I stand up and smile. "Bit!" I call. "Yes, Reona." Serena laughs at my evil look. "Get the others down here. Make it sound urgent" I say. "Ummm alright" I put a finger to my lips and try not to laugh. Not one minute after that we can hear foot step, and the seem to be running fast. "Who wants to bet its Jonathan. I'll take on anyone" I say with a smile. Just than Jonathan jumps over a bed of plants, skids on the stone ground when he lands, and continues to run down the path never missing a beat. "Jonathan!" yells Alania and she jumps up the steps to meet him. Jonathan grab her out of mid-air and swings her around laughing all the time. I burst out laughing and Serena falls to the ground and starts to hiccup. Soon the other start to come. Serena goes into the crowd and begins to talk rapidly while Alania says hello to all her old friends. I take a step forward and than falter. I frown and step out of the way. Jonathan is the only who has the right to be there, not I. They are the big group of friends I was just the lone Sailor Guardian. Only Serena and Alania ever knew about me, and that's just because of the training I had to do. The Sailor Scouts, Shiro Kage, and the Earth Guard only just met me, when I came to get them. It took lots of time for them to trust me and even than they always asked why I was taking so much time to do the thing I said I would. I small tear runs down my cheek as I look at the smiling group of people. I quickly brush it away and sit down hard on the fountain ledge. Even Eric is in there, he was part of the court in the Silver Millennium. Jonathan had lots of time to make friend since he really had no part in what I do. Once again I curse my very existence and my duty. It seem that Jonathan and Eric only know me to keep me company, but I never had any time because of what I was, never had time to make real friends. I let some time go by so the others can talk some more before I break it up. "Ahm sorry guys but I need to talk to the present Moon and Light Guardians for just a minute." The other turn around and Serena's smile drops when she sees that I've been standing here the whole time. I give a shake of my head and a smile that doesn't completely reach my eyes. Serena and Alania come over to me. "I'm so sorry Reona, I didn't know you were over here all that..." I cut Serena's apology off. "Never mind Serena, its nothing. I just wanted to make sure Alania know she was to come back here tomorrow night around midnight like you." I look at Alania and she nods her understanding. "Good, and second I need to talk Serena that she will be taking her Guardian Test tomorrow." Serena goes stiff for a minute before she nods sharply. "I test will more than likely take longer than a day. I will tell you what I have planed when you get here tomorrow night." They both nods. "Alright than, I will see you tomorrow. I'm going to go in. I trust you two will be ok." I barely stay to see then nod before the go up the stairs and down the path in a fast walk. At the end of the path I turned back and see them talking again. I swing around quickly and jog away. "Nothing sure hurts a lot." I whisper to no one. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool ending uh? I hope all you like this chapter! Did ya? Do you like Sailor Light? Don't worry I'll put more of a personality on her soon. Next Time: 'Guardian of the Moon' Serena will take her test, I tell how we're going to reveal ourselves to the Inner Scouts, and Alania's first lesson. Next Time on........
