Sailor Moon Dream
Chapter One: Splash! How tragic!
There is a solitude of space
A solitude of sea
A solitude of death, but these
Society shall be
Compared with that profounder site
That polar privacy
A soul admitted to itself-
Finite Infinity
By Emily Dickinson

Usagi
Life at times can be a never-ending trial that wears upon your soul.
This crucible of my life started when I was fourteen-years-old that
was when destiny caught up with me. What? I forgot to tell you my name?
Hmm, I guess I did. The let me correct that by introducing myself, I'm
Usagi Tsukino, Rabbit of the Moon, pretty original huh? Let me tell,
as weird as my name is it does really fit. Want to know why?
A millenium ago there was a kingdom on the moon called the Moon Kingdom
bet you guessed that. At that time it was ruled by Queen Serenity. You'll
never believe it, but I was her daughter, the Princess Serenity, heir
and future queen, neat right? The Moon Kingdom was peaceful and beautiful
and it seemed that it would last forever. One day though an evil force
called the Negaverse destroyed the Moon Kingdom. Mother, with the last
of her strength, sent others and myself into the future to be reborn.
I didn't remember any of this, seeing as how reincarnation will do
that to you. The first fourteen years of my life I led were ordinary.
I was a bit of a ditz, even looked like one with my blond hair place
up in the meatball buns with two thick strands hanging down from them
and bright blue eyes. One day on my way to school, late as usual, I
met a black cat with a crescent moon upon her forehead named Luna.
Luna-chan, who turned out to be able to talk, brought with her an end
to my normal life.
Many battles came, which I fought as the heroine Sailor Moon. I met up
with other reincarnations from the Moon Kingdom and Luna's partner a
white male cat named Artemis. Eventually I came across my love from
the Moon Kingdom, dear Endymion. Only he wasn't the same in this
reincarnation as Mamoru Chiba. I fooled myself into believing that he
still loved me like I loved him, but he didn't. As I grew older and
began to remember more of my past life, I too changed into a true
princess, not the selfish brat princess of the Moon Kingdom or the
class clown. I believe the only reason that Mamoru did not leave me
to date others was because of what we had seen in the future. A little
pink-haired girl name Chibi-Usa, the daughter of Mamoru and I, came
from the future seeking help. That small glimpse into what could be
kept him with me even as he began to slip away. We barely speak now,
but if I look twice at another man he becomes furious with anger...
sometimes he even hits me.
At least he used to hit me, until the bruises on my skin began to be
noticeable. Heh, you should have see my friend Makoto Kino a.k.a.
Sailor Jupiter and Haruka a.k.a. Sailor Uranus when they discovered
what he had done. The Sailor Scouts, warriors from the Moon Kingdom,
are divided into two separate groups. There are the inner scouts who
are my court and personal bodyguards: Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury,
Sailor Mars, and Sailor Jupiter. Minako Aino, a.k.a. Sailor Venus
soldier of love and beauty, is a lot like I used to be. What with her
long blond hair and blue eyes it makes sense that people say we look
alike. Minako's come a long way too, she's a famous singer and actress
now, she travels all over the world and still finds time to visit me
and the others. Ami Mizuno, a.k.a. Sailor Mercury soldier of ice and
knowledge, has short blue hair and ice blue eyes. Even as a junior
high school student Ami-chan had been dedicated to her studies, now
she is a highly qualified doctor, one of the best in the world in
fact. Rei Hino, a.k.a. Sailor Mars soldier of fire and spirituality,
has long raven hair and violet eyes. Rei-chan and I used to fight all
the time when we were younger, she acted mean to me but I know that
was her way of pushing me into being the best. Makoto Kino, a.k.a.
Sailor Jupiter soldier of lightning and strength, wears her brown hair
in a ponytail and has green eyes. I think of Mako-chan as a sister,
she's always been there for me whenever I need her. As one of the
fighters of the scouts, Mako-chan usually solves her problems with her
fists. She's also a great cook and even owns her own restaurant. The
outer scouts are older than the inners and much more powerful because
their main job is to guard the entire Solar System. Haruka Ten'ou,
a.k.a. Sailor Uranus, soldier of sky and power, wears her blond hair
short and has sky blue eyes. Haruka-chan (ano, should that be Haruka-
kun?) is usually first mistaken for a boy because of the way she
dresses and even as a famous racer most of her fans think she's a guy.
Every since she found out I was the Moon Princess, Haruka-chan has
become even more protective than the inners. God, help anyone that
gets her mad! Michiru Kaiou, a.k.a. Sailor Neptune, soldier of sea and
tranquility, has wavy green hair and ocean colored eyes. She's Haruka's
ever-faithful companion and partner, calm to Haruka's fury. I guess
that her being calm helps in her music, she's a famous violinist.
Hotaru Tomoe, a.k.a. Sailor Saturn, soldier of destruction and
resurrection, has short dark purple hair and matching eyes. Sailor
Saturn is one of our strongest scouts and most frightening, she can
destroy the world with her power. Hotaru-chan is basically a sweet
girl who would never think about hurting a soul, she's following Ami's
example and is training to become a doctor. The last scout, Setsuna
Meiou, a.k.a. Sailor Pluto, soldier of time and space, has long green
hair that she wears partially up in a bun and the rest flowing down
her head and her eyes are red. Setsuna-san (well, she is the Guardian
of Time, I think Usagi would be a little respectful) is very mysterious,
I guess as the Guardian to the Gates of Time it's a requirement. She
acts casually but I can see the loneliness in her eyes, to live forever
and see those you care for die is something I would never wish on anyone.
I wish I could take the burden of her duty away from her. When she's
not traveling the time lines, Setsuna-san is a renowned clothes designer.
Thanks to Haruka-chan and Mako-chan, Mamoru is now in the hospital for
a good long while. I should be happy but I'm not. The future had looked
so pleasant; I was married to Darien and had a beautiful little girl.
I guess now that isn't happening...but I still want to marry and have
children. The others have noticed my reticence. They all took off on
vacation from their jobs and made me do the same with my modeling job.
Some how they had all gotten together and decided to take me on a trip
to China to cheer me up.
So here I am, dressed in baggy jeans and a blue tank top, with my eight
friends and two talking cats, listening to this guide tell us about
these supposed cursed springs of Jusenkyo. All it looked like was many
springs and various poles sticking out of the ground. "Here we have
Shonmaoniichuan, spring of drowned panda," their Chinese guide said
and began to explain its history.
Next to me, Mako-chan in her blue jeans and green tank top yawned.
"Boring...Hey, Usagi-chan," she said, getting my attention, "He said
this is a famous training ground right? So lets train!"
Haruka-chan and she had begun to teach me martial arts to defend
myself, it was hard at first but as I began to remember more of my
past life I also remembered the training Serenity had. Now I'm an
equal fighter, much to their disbelief. "I don't know...," I said
uncertainly.
"Come on, please?" she asked giving me a puppy dog look.
"All right..."
"Yes!" she yelled and with a great jump landed on one of the poles,
balancing herself on one foot.
"I don't like them being so reckless," commented Luna-chan, perched on
one of Mina-chan's shoulders.
"At least they're training," Artemis-kun told her on Mina-chan's other
shoulder.
As joined her on one of the other poles I could hear our guide freaking
out. "Madams don't! It very bad if you fall in!"
I couldn't reply because Mako-chan had launched off her pole to attack.
I launched off mine as well and met her in the air, exchanging blows.
My fist connected and sent her not into one of the springs but into
the solid ground. Her body stopped sliding in front of Haruka-chan and
Michiru-chan. I used the propulsion I had gained to land on another
pole. "Let's see how you do against me," grinned Haruka-chan, before
she jumped straight at me.
Her force made me loose my footing, sending me into a spring below.
The last thing I saw before I fell into the water was the shouting
about something.

Haruka
I was surprised at how quickly the princess defeated Mako-chan; I
shouldn't be though considering that I trained her personally. Once
the overall covered Ami-chan had confirmed Mako-chan was fine, I
decided to train a little myself. My beloved Michiru knew what I
planned on doing as she saw the grin on my face. "Go easy on her,"
she whispered to me.
I nodded before turning to our princess and declaring my challenge. I
surprised Neko-chan by attacking her directly and not waiting to get
on another of those poles. I claimed hers for me to balance on as I
waited for her to surface out of the spring I had just knocked her
into. As a blond-haired head emerged from the water, I heard the guide
say, "Oh too bad, you fall in Nannichuan, spring of drowned young man.
Very tragic story of how man drowned hear many years ago, now whoever
fall into spring become a man."
I had a very bad feeling about this.

Usagi
I blinked in disbelief as I heard the guide. My hair had fallen out of
its buns and was now hanging down in my face wet. I brushed the strands
out of my way in irritation. "Ah, Bunny?" I heard sunflower dress clad
Mina-chan choke.
I looked up to find her pointing at me with her finger with her eyes
wide in surprise. I followed her finger, which was aimed at my chest.
I looked down at my normally developed chest only to find it flat,
like a man's...a few seconds after I realized what had happened, I
did the only thing a sane, rational person would do...I screamed.
"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Setsuna
As Guardian to the Gates of Time, I've seen my share of the strange
and unusual. I was aware of Jusenkyo of course; its magic is very
powerful. I've learned that Fate decides who will fall into a spring
and who will not. A person's curse is meant to help that person play
a role in the future and full fill their destiny. That was one of the
reason's I did not dare protest going to this spot or letting them
train, I'm not one to get in the way of Destiny and Fate, they have
a tendency to punish those who interfere. Unfortunately, the springs'
power was great enough to block my sight of possibilities on what could
happen at the spring. To say the least I had not expected of all people
it to be the Princess who would fall in...

Michiru
I watched as Rei-chan and Ami-chan helped a shocked Usagi-chan out of
the magic spring. As soon as they were clear, Haruka-chan jumped down
from her pole to join the rest of us. Only I noticed that she had
misjudge how much power she needed and was about to land in the same
spring that Usagi-chan fell in. I held my breath and waited for the
splash that did not come. I walked over to her puzzled and found she
sat in what appeared to be a dried up spring. "How is it possible?" I
heard Ami-chan ask, muttering about evaporation being a much slower
process.
"Look like spring decide to change place again...or maybe it gone for
good?" the guide said.
"How can a spring decide anything!" Rei-chan demanded, obviously not
liking these uncontrolled magic springs.
"They cursed springs, very tragic story..."

Usagi
I guess another trial has been placed before me to overcome. At least
after things had calmed down I found out from the guide that hot water
could change me back into a girl. If I get splashed with cold water I
change back into a guy again...Oh, well it could be worse I could have
fallen into the spring of drowned panda...but I have to wonder how
will this effect my life?

Sailor Moon Dream
Chapter Two: Be careful what you wish for.
"You know," Jervis raised one eyebrow, "your father still don't half
believe but what you were after Tashir's tail the whole time. Aye, and
Medren, too."
Vanyel snorted.
"In fact," Jervis continued, "to hear him in his cups, you've had half
the boys in Valdemar."
Vanyel put his mug down. "If that's a question," he replied acidly,
"you can tell him from me that it's been so damned long that both you
and those sheep in Long Meadow are starting to look good!"
Jervis gave him a long, thoughtful look, and Vanyel wondered if he'd
said too much, too freely. He tried to ready an apology-when Jervis
gave him a long, slow grin.
"Stick to the sheep," the armsmaster advised impudently. "They don't
snore."
-Magic's Promise by Mercedes Lackey

Usagi
It's been two weeks since that trip to the cursed springs in China.
It's been tough adjusting to the fact that whenever I'm hit with cold
water I turn into a guy. Currently I was finishing up a shoot for my
employers' summer special catalogue.
"That's it for the day, Usagi-san," my manager called out to me.
I nodded in thanks and left to get changed. Ever since I got my curse
I've had to adjust my wardrobe dramatically. I mean if I get it with
cold water while I'm wearing a dress can imagine the reaction I would
get? So I've begun to wear clothes suitable for both sexes. Usually a
pair of baggy pants and some kind of shirt that was not considered too
feminine. This means that most of my pink shirts and all my dresses
have been put in storage for the time being.
I do have to say this curse has given me a greater appreciation for
the male gender. The only problem is that even when I'm male I think
like a girl, which has caused some confusion to say the least. Rei-
chan says its because I act like I'm like Haruka-chan and Michiru-chan
when I'm a guy cause I happen to still have a great appreciation for
good looking men. Mina-chan more than once has tried to convince me
to go out with her in my guy form, to say the least she has not been
successful.
After I changed I proceeded to get into my car and head for the Rei-
chan's temple. Setsuan-san had called a Senshi meeting. When I spoke
to her on the phone, she had refused to give me the reason why she had
called for the meeting. It's nice to see that Setsuna-san is still up
to her mysterious ways.
As I made it to the top of the stairs I immediately noticed how all
the talk ceased. Every one of the scouts was there waiting for me. I
gasped as I noticed pink hair in a bunny ear style. "Chibi-Usa...?"
I whispered.
The small look a like of mine turned her head toward me at the sound
of her name. "Mama!" Chibi-Usa cried out before flinging herself into
my waiting arms.
I clutched onto the sobbing child, my own face streaked with tears.
"How...?" I asked.
Setsuna-san's was the one to explain. "Seeing how Mamoru and you won't
be together and you still care for Chibi-Usa you've been granted this
boon."
"It's for taking care of that whole Chaos fisco!" Mina-chan put in
cheerfully.
"That's fiasco," muttered Rei-chan.
"Whatever!"
It's hard not to smile even with my eyes stinging from the saltwater.
Even after all this time, Minako still can't seem to get some things
right. The other scouts laughed at the frustrated look Rei gave. "So
you're here to stay?" I asked Chibi-Usa, hesitant that it was not true.
She let go of me and look at the ground with a sad look on her face. I
could see the other senshi, except for Setsuna-san look at her too with
similar expressions of curiosity. I guess they didn't get much more of
an explanation than I did. Setsuna-san answered for her, "Usagi-hime,
when you dumped Mamoru you changed the future. Crystal Tokyo no longer
will come into existence and...neither will Chibi-Usa." I opened my
mouth to protest but she cut me off. "Please let me finish...Powers
higher than you can imagine have decided that you deserved a gift for
all that 'Destiny' has put you through. Chibi-Usa was pulled from her
now non existent future as that gift."
With new tears in my eyes I pulled Chibi-Usa into a tight hug. "I
think she likes her gift," mussed Haruka (no more chans unless
speaking, my fingers hurt with the effort) with a smile.
Following her my example, Michiru pulled her into a hug. "Usa-chan's
not the only one," she told Haruka, nodding to the cheerful Hotaru,
"She's got her best friend back."

Hotaru
When I first caught site of Chibi-Usa walking along side of Setsuna I
could barely believe my eyes. Here I was a full grown teenage girl and
Chibi-Usa, my best friend, was still a little girl just like she was
the last time I saw her...I knew it would strange with the age
differences but I don't think age matters in friendship.

Usagi
A little over a month had passed since Chibi-Usa came to live with me.
It's still hard to believe that this time she's my daughter for keeps.
I had to move out of my apartment; it was far to small for Chibi-Usa
and I, not to mention one talking feline by the name of Luna. It
hadn't bothered me to buy a nice house; I get more than enough money.
The only reason I hadn't bought a house sooner is I felt that it would
be too lonely for one girl and a cat. Now with a wild eight-year-old I
needed that extra space.
"I want to go into that store, Kassan," Chibi-Usa said pointing with
the hand that was not holding mine.
We were in the mall to shop for some clothes for Rini and myself. Rini
had taken the truth about my curse surprisingly well. Her explanation
was so sweet! "Now I have a Kaa-san and Tou-san in one." From that
moment on she had started calling my male side "Tou-san", which even
though it feels weird endears her to me.
"Star's Magic and Charm Shop," I read, "...I don't know...whenever I
go to places like that I end up finding a new enemy."
"Please!" begged Chibi-Usa.
Not want to fight with her I said, "Alright, but only for a few
minutes, we have to meet the others at Mako-chan's."
"Yes!" she cheered and ran into the magic shop.
I followed at a slower pace. Chibi-Usa was already gazing at the odd
assortment of accessories. As soon as she saw me she came running up
with some thing in her hand. "This would be perfect for you!" she
squealed and handed me her find.
It was a large metal locket, which was circular in shape but had no
jewel in it though it was apparent that it was designed to. Closing
the locket I studied the cover's designs. Bordering the edges in small
engravings where the nine planet's symbols. Within the middle of the
cover was an upturned gold crescent moon. Between the symbol border
and the crescent moon the cover was separated into four quadrants. The
upper right quadrant and the carving of a beautiful white horse, the
upper left quadrant had a flaming sun, the lower left quadrant had a
lapis lazuli blue star, and the lower right quadrant had a silver
bird.
"It's beautiful..." I breathed.
"So you're going to get it?"
I nodded. "I've been looking for something to keep the silver crystal
in, you know how easy it is to lose it."
My daughter blushed at the reminder of how we first met. Smiling
gently at her I headed for the cash register. "Ah a very good choice
miss," said 'Star', "This locket is very old and powerful, it is said
to grant its wearer wishes."
That's all I need...some wish to go wrong and ruin my fragile peace.

Makoto
"Mina-chan, stay out of the food! Wait until Usa-chan and Chibi-Usa
get here!" I told the blond for the tenth time since she arrived at my
restaurant.
We had planned to celebrate Usagi and Chibi-Usa's birthdays, but
SOMEONE kept getting into the snacks. Believe me this is Usagi and
Chibi-Usa we're talking about, I needed as much food I could get
without losing profit. Luckily Rei and Haruka had kept Minako at bay
so she didn't have to tie her up to keep her away from the food.
"But I'm so hungry!" Minako whined.
Maybe I should tie her up anyway...and gag her too.

Usagi
"I'm full...couldn't eat another bite!" I announced.
"I should hope not," muttered Rei, "you've finished of half the food
by yourself."
"Well I had help," I stated, pointing to a sick looking Chibi-Usa.
"Kaa-san, I don't feel to good..."
"That's because you ate too much sweets."
"And you didn't?" said Rei sarcastically.
"Well..."
"I thought so."
Even though I stuck my tongue out at her I was smiling inwards. Good
friends were what kept me going on hard days. But there has been
something missing in my life...a true love. I glance down at my locket
that contained the silver locket. Grasping it in my hand I wished with
all my might to find true happiness.
I should have known better...it's always best to be cautious in
wishing, but even I didn't expect what happened next.

Setsuna
My snapped up as I felt the shift in some timelines...ten timelines to
be exact, our ten timelines. The future took a full 180-degree change
in direction...almost as if our presence would no longer be on this
world. An increase in power caught my attention. It was from the
princess... but it wasn't her power I sensed. "Hime!" was all I got
out before the world around me went blank.

Vanyel
Returning to Haven after six months of non-stop travel brought relief
to me. My plan was for my Companion Yfandes and I to stay longer enough
in Haven to report then for me to take a well-deserved vacation.
As we began to wine down for the night, Yfandes spoke up to me in an
alarmed mind-voice: I see two people up ahead, they appear to be
unconscious.:
As a Herald it was my duty to investigate what could be two people in
need.
Just as Yfandes had said there was two of them. One was a young girl
with hair that looked strangely like it was pink, which was put up in
an even stranger hair style that resembled two bunny ears. She had on
a dress of red in a style that was not familiar to me. The other
appeared to be an attractive young man with long golden hair that gave
him feminine features. He wore pants made of a strange blue fabric and
a simple white shirt.
It appeared another mystery was on hand.

Chapter Three: Two Bunnies in the Middle of the Road
By Delphine

"Shay'a'chern," supplied Cress. "It's some outland tongue."
"What's it mean?" Vanyel asked.
Reva giggled, and whispered, "That he doesn't like girls. He likes
boys. Lucky boys!"
From Magic's Pawn by Mercedes Lackey

Vanyel
Once I had camp set up and had a fire going I took the time to study
my strange guests. Besides the candy pink hair in the bunny eared
hairstyle, the little girl appeared to be like any other eight-year-
old girl. Her companion on the other hand was different. A young man
with golden hair let completely down and reaching nearly just past his
knees. There was a strange aura about him that my mage-sight picked
up, an aura that only other Shay'a'chern had.
:What do you see?: Yfandes asked, her mind voice sounding curious.
"An aura as if he was shaych," I answered, blinking tiredly. "I think
I've been on the road to long because my sight can't even distinguish
that he's male, it keeps showing me an image of the man and then a
girl similar in looks to the man."
I wasn't lying I was truly exhausted. : How peculiar: Yfandes said.
"Yes, a true mystery...one that I'm not up to solving today. I don't
think I guests are going to wake up for awhile so I think I'll join
them."
:You just want to sleep next to that attractive looking blond: she
teased.
"Yea, well you're not wrong there," I admitted before lying down next
to young man on the bedroll I had spread out, the little girl was on
Yfandes blanket, which she wore on cold days, with Yfandes laying next
to her across the campsite from me.
I do have to say I rather enjoyed it when he turned to snuggle up to
me...even if we hardly knew one another...and I had sworn to not let
anyone close...

Usagi
Warmth...wonderful warmth was the first thing I felt as I awakened. I
found my self tangled around another's body...a male body. Heat rushed
to my face as I realized how very close we were...and my dream...just
how much of did I act out? Luna's told me how I talk and act in my
sleep. The blush deepened to scarlet when I discovered that I was in
my boy form. Hesitantly, I sought the face of the cuddled man. Silver
eyes met my blue ones and drowned me in them...

Vanyel
A shift in the body held in my arms awakened me. A rarely seen blush
crept over my face as soft, silky hands began to explore underneath my
shirt. Athletic legs covered in the strange blue fabric straddled my
hips and pushed against me suggestively. I'd be lying if I said that
I wasn't aroused by his acts. The only thing that restrained me from
tearing off both of our clothes and taking him was that he wasn't even
awake. Once he settled I managed to fall back to sleep...

Usagi
It was a good thing I was laying down; I think that if I had been
standing up I would have fainted. I quickly untangled myself and
scrambled to my feet, hoping to prevent any further embarrassment.
Not able to meet the gaze of those silver eyes again I instead turned
to study my surroundings.
There was a former fire, little embers still aglow by me. Across I
could see a gorgeous white mare that I could only assume belonged to
the man I just...cuddled. I caught the sight of a head of familiar
pink hair near the mare. I could see Chibi-Usa's head moving as she
began to wake up.
I dashed to her, sweeping her up into a protective embrace. "Tou-
san?" she questioned.
"Not now, Chibi-Usa," I hushed her.
I finally looked at the man with silver eyes, studying him. He wore
his white hair down just passed his shoulders and had on a white
uniform. Joining him was the whitest mare I had ever laid eyes on. She
could have given Helios in his pegasus form a run for his money I the
beauty department. "Who are you?" I asked.

Vanyel
I made no move as not to alarm my strange guests, not even as Yfandes
came to my side. The beautiful young man, a boy really, said something
in a strange language. One that did not sound even remotely familiar.
"I'm afraid I don't understand you," I told him at the same time as I
reached out to touch his mind, to instill my meaning.
To my surprise I found frighteningly strong shields so subtle that I
had not even noticed them on my initial probe. I quickly probed the
little girl and found similar shields.
My puzzlement was short lived for not long after I had made my reply
the boy began to speak again.

Usagi
English, the man spoke English. Was I in America? No, the outfit
didn't look remotely like something an American would wear. And that
horse of his was not of any breed I had seen, and of late horses had
become a hobby of mine.
I guess I'll have to reply. Why did he have to speak English? My
French is better than my English is, it should be since I had done
many fashion shows in Paris. Well here I go...

Vanyel
"I is sorry, sir, I not know you not understand me," he spoke in
broken Common Speech. "I ask who you are?"
"I am Herald-Mage Vanyel," I told him. "And you are?"
I studied his face carefully. My title meant nothing to him, that I
could plainly see. It was a moment before he answered me. "Usagi
Tsukino and my daughter, Chibi-Usa."
My eyes widened at that piece of news. He didn't look old enough to
have a daughter her age.

Chibi-Usa
I nearly laughed at the bug-eyed expression that appeared on this
exotic looking man, Vanyel. People often are surprised when they find
out the relationship between Kaa-san and I. I covered up my amusement
with a question, "Where are we, Vanyel-san?"
I am pleased to say that my English is better than my "father's". But
if you had Ami Mizuno as your personal tutor then I guarantee that you
would be too. My father frowned a little as I showed off my language
skills. I just smiled.

Usagi
"Little brat," I whispered in Japanese. I couldn't help it. It was a
years born reaction to that sugar sweet smile of hers.
Vanyel, recovered quickly from the bombshell I had just dropped, said,
"You're in Valdemar."
I had no clue where Valdemar was and said so.

Vanyel
"Nani?" Usagi asked. "I mean, where is Valdemar?"
The little girl rolled her eyes. "Baka, Tou-san! Valdemar is obviously
a country." She glanced at me. "Right, Vanyel-san?"
A few of the strange words confused me but not enough that I did not
understand what she had asked. "Yes, Valdemar is the country you're
currently in," I told them.
Usagi bit his lip slightly in an endearing manner. "Ano, how is it we
got here?" he wondered.
He looked so completely lost that my heart went out to him. :Let's
take them with us, Chosen: spoke Yfandes for the first time.
:Agreed: Out loud I said, "I do not know what troubles plague you, but
as a Herald it is my duty to help people in need. If you wish you may
come with me to the capital. On the way you can tell me your troubles."
Father and daughter looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Thank you
very much."

Chapter Four: Healer of Ice
By Delphine
*So Far: Usagi and Chibi-Usa met up with Vanyel and Yfandes and are
now headed to the city of Haven in Valdemar.
Now keep in mind that the next chapters aren't linear, they're going
on at the same time only to different people. *

Ami
I had no idea how I had arrived here in this strange forest. My only
logical guess is that strange power burst that had caused me to lose
consciousness had some how transported me here. I looked around once
again, absorbing the sight of my surroundings.
As I previously stated, I was in a forest unknown to me. It was made up
of an army of trees, from the littlest sprout to the hugest of ancient
trees that could easily rival a modern building in greatness. With no
previous training, I was out of my element. My only hope would be to
find some kind of civilization.
My path decided I would have to take my steps. I could use my Mercury
Computer in my civilian form but I decided that I should transform so
that I could better protect myself. "Mercury Crystal Power, Make Up!"
I shouted, holding up my transformation pen.
I felt the familiar icy touch of my transformation embrace me; sweeping
through my body so that every nerve tingled from the cool power. It
lasted, in reality, less than a minute, but to me it lasted hours. As
the power faded, I was left in my transformed state as Sailor Mer-what?
I was not wearing the usual sailor outfit, no my clothes were much
different. I was dressed in a pale blue robe that had silver threaded
Mercurial runes engraved into the robe. A brilliant sapphire cut into
the shape of the symbol for the planet Mercury had been attached to
the robe just over my heart.
What had caused such a traumatic change in my wardrobe? Even the few
power up-grades I had of in my Sailor Mercury form were much subtler
in their changes than this. The only cause I could see for such a
change was that I would somehow need it in the coming future.
Wondering if I could still access my Mercury computer, I attempted to
call up the Virtual Reality Eye Visor that I could use as Sailor Mercury.
To my relief the blue tinted screen came across my eyes at my command
like always. I quickly set the search perimeters to detect any human
life.
Almost immediately the Mercury Computer started spitting out information
on the nearest human who happened to be located no very far away.
Subject: Male, Middle Twenties
Status: Injured
"Nani?" I shouted.
If someone was injured, as a doctor it was my duty to help him. I used
the computer to get the injured man's exact location and followed in
the direction given to me as fast as my feet would carry me. All I have
to say, is I am grateful for the fact that my footwear had changed
too, into travel boots made of white leather that seemed to be dirt
resistant.
I looked around as I entered the glade that the injured man was to be
in. To my surprise a large hawk flew at me almost immediately. I threw
out my arm instinctively to defend myself. Talons closed upon my arm
and a great weight settled. I blinked in surprise as I gazed into the
hawk's sharp gold speckled brown eyes. Its grip was almost painful but
my new robe appeared to be made of the same material as my previous
sailor suit, so it protected my arm against the deadly talons.
: Help!: came a voice in my head, it had come from the hawk.
The talons let go and the hawk took off, flying across the glade, and
landing next to what I could safely assume to be the injured man.
:Help: the hawk said again.
I hurried over to the man, using my computer to scan his injuries. He
wouldn't survive if I couldn't force his body to heal faster. Saturn
could have done it with her planet powers but I wasn't so sure I could.
It doesn't matter; I had no choice but to try. It was his only chance
for survival.
I calmed my mind, blocking out everything around me until I was only
aware of him and me. Searching within myself I felt for the core of
my power, a well if you will. Metaphysical rivers filed that well of
power directly from the renewable power source of the planet Mercury.
There it was. I drew upon that power, forcing it into my hands, which
hovered over the wounded man. A blue glowing aura surrounded my hands
and the man as I forced the power out of my hands and into the wounds,
willing them to heal.
Slowly, the wounds closed and the glow faded as I released my power.
The effort had exhausted me and I found myself lying down next to the
now healed man. My eyes fluttered close and I slipped into a tired
sleep.

Icesong
At first, I wondered if I perhaps was dead. That would explain why I
felt nothing from the fatal wound. But no I wasn't dead for as I opened
my pale blue eyes I recognized the glade I was in as the one where I
had battled that rate looking Changechild and lost. My wounds were
completely healed as I had already stated, but by who?
The answer to that question I discovered was lying right next to me. A
girl was curled up into a sleeping position, her blue robes billowing
about her like a silken puddle. What was surprising was her hair was
colored a dark blue.
My bondbird landed onto the ground. :Girl help. Heal.: Kirsti told me.
I held out my arm and she hopped on, making her way up to my shoulder
where she perched. I then knelt down next to the girl. Despite the
color of her robes, I know she was a Healer that was the only way I
could have possibly been healed of my wounds so quickly.
The Changechild that injured me would eventually come back and I didn't
wish to be here when it did. Not all of my strength had returned and I
knew I would not be able to carry her back to the k'Chona Vale. I had
no choice; I would have to wake her up no matter how unwise I knew it
was to awaken a Healer from exhaustion caused sleep.
Using my mind I reached out to hers only to find shields in place,
protecting the core of her mind. I had expected such a shield so all
I did was merely brush against her shields. My mind brushes would feel
like someone was tickling her mind. She would be woken up by pure
irritation.
It did not take long. A groan and wrinkling of the nose preceded the
opening of sapphire blue eyes. I watched as she took in my features,
from my bleached white hair dyed with brown and green leaf patterns
to the bondbird on my shoulder. Her voice when she spoke was quizzical
but also full of confidence that one has whom is sure of his or her
abilities. "Ossu?"
"I am afraid I do not speak your home language," I told her, after the
unfamiliar term was spoken, in common speech.
"Gomen...Sorry," she said, switching to Common. "I was unaware that
this region's language was English."
"English?" I questioned as I helped her to her feet.
She blinked at me and said, confusedly, "English is what we are
speaking."
"Is English your language's word for Common Speech?" I asked her.

Ami
I had hoped I was wrong. That I was just in another country. But no...
I was in a different world. How could I explain such a thing? I would
have to ponder upon such a problem, but not now. This man I healed was
awaiting my answer. "Yes, I suppose you could say that." I bowed
respectfully. "My name is Ami Mizuno, might I enquire yours?"
He opened his mouth to answer but a large screech caused him to close
it and look around cautiously. He turned sharply to me. "I am Icesong,"
he told me, grabbing my wrist, "and we are going to be in danger if we
don't go now."
He dragged me into a run just as his hawk flew off his shoulder and
took into the air. "Where are we going?" I gasped out.
"To k'Chona Vale, to my people. We'll be safe there," Icesong said.
I had no choice but to allow him to drag me. I only could hope that
this k'Chona Vale would have someone who could help me with my
particular situation.

Sailor Moon Dream
Chapter Five: Bard of Love
By Delphine
Minako
The noise of laughter and talking filled the Inn of the Flying Gryphon
dining and barroom. Waitresses dressed in blue cloth dresses with gold
dyed feathers bustled here and there, taking orders and delivering
them. The customers that sat at the wood made tables were all of
different classes, from the shabbily dressed to those wearing silk
clothes that had been personally made. That was the sight that greeted
me as I walked down the stairs.
I was dressed in a tarnished-gold dyed smock that covered a plain off-
white dress. A white one had replaced my normal red bow. Black lady-
like shoes covered my feet. All in all, I looked like a grown-up
version of Alice in Wonderland only I was in gold and white instead of
blue and white.
You're probably wondering how I came to be here. That power surge
had somehow transported me to this called Westmark. The owner of the
Flying Gryphon found me in an alley way unconscious. Heris Timber had
twogirls around my age that had been married off and I suppose he was
suffering from empty nest syndrome. For he took me in immediately when
he found out I was lost. I faked partial amnesia, thinking it would be
easier then explaining I was not of this world.
I happened to mention to him my talent for singing and he talked me
into singing one song for the evening crowd. He told me that a Master
Bard was to be entertaining that same evening but I could sing during
his break.
That break had come, it seems. The scarlet clad figure of the bard
was leaving the stage and took a seat at an empty table by it where a
waitress immediately poured him a glass of wine. Timber-san handed me
an old but in good condition lute as I headed for the stage. The lute
was the closest thing to a guitar I could find and would have to do.
I had a hard time deciding on what to sing. At first I thought to sing
one of my own but non-seemed to fit in this environment. I eventually
decided on the song "Man's Road" from the cartoon movie "The Last
Unicorn."
I took a seat on the stool that was on the stage before plucking a few
chords, warming my fingers up. I glanced at the crowd, which had grown
quiet and all eyes were trained on me. The bard had a strange, thoughtful
look on his face, and such a nice face it was. He had dark brown that
reached his shoulders in a silken wave and startling green eyes.
Ignoring the growing butterflies in my stomach, I launched into the
song.
"Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn Dust demon screaming, bring
an eagle to lead me on For in my heart I carry such a heave load Here
I am on Man's road, walking Man's road, walking Man's road
I'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down The rain comes, dreary,
but there's no shelter I have found It will be a long time till I find
my abode Here I am on Man's road, walking Man's road
Moon rising, disguising lonely streets in gay displays The stars fade,
the night shade falls and makes the world afraid It waits in silence
for the sky to explode Here I am on Man's road, walking Man's road,
walking Man's road Walking Man's road, walking Man's road, walking
Man's road..."
I looked up as I finished my song. To my surprise, I found my audience
in a sort of trance. They sat, staring at me in a type of rapt fascination.
As the silence reigned they seemed to slowly wake up and the next thing
I knew everyone was standing up and clapping. A standing ovation on my
first performance here!
As the applause settled down, I gave a graceful curtsy, and with the
lute in hand I headed off the stage. I past the bard, who was heading
onto the stage. He leaned over and whispered, "See me after the crowd
leaves."
I blushed at the feel of his warm breath against my ear. "O-okay," I
said.
He gave me a heart throbbing smile.

The inn didn't clear out until later that night. Finally, people filed
out to go home or to their rooms in the inn. The Master Bard, who I
found out was named Rowen Typhonus, was waiting for at the same table
he had sat at before. I approached the table. "Ano, you wanted to speak
to me?" He gestured for me to sit down, which I did.
"Did you know that you have enough gifts to be in Bardic Collegium?"
Rowan asked.
I wasn't so sure about what he meant. "Bardic Collegium, Rowen-san?"
I questioned. "I am not from this country and am unwise in its ways."
Rowen nodded. "That would explain why you hadn't been discovered by
another bard before now." He smiled at me before explaining, "The
Gift, Talent, and Creativity are what sets bards apart from the normal
street minstrel. You have the first two gifts and I suspect the third
as well. It only takes two gifts to be excepted in Bardic Collegium
where the Bards of Valdemar are trained."
At last I understood. "So you wish for me to go with you to...where is
the Bardic Collegium?"
"Haven."
I had heard that name before. It was the capital of Valdemar, I
believe. "You want me to go to Have and train to become a Bard?"
"Essentially."
Well, there was only one answer for that. "Yes!" I said, excitedly,
"Ano, when do we leave?"

Timber-san was sad to see me go but he also was glad for my good
fortune. I promised him that I would play at his inn when I completed
my training. Rowen and I set out the next morning. I was force to sit
behind him on his horse for I had no one of my own. "How long will it
take us to make it to Haven?"
"Four days as the soonest," was his reply.
I barely held back a groan. What I wouldn't give for a car!

Sailor Moon Dream
Chapter Six: Cats of the Moon
By Delphine
Hotaru
I cried out as I tripped over a tree branch, a rock opening a gash
at my knee. My captor cursed at me in a harsh variant of English and
pulled me to my feet. I weakly attempted to escape his grasp but it
was no use. I have never been physically strong and he was so much
larger than I that I didn't stand a chance.
When I had appeared in this desolate world of trees in the after math
of the huge power surge, I was almost immediately jumped. Luna and
Artemis, who had appeared with me, had tried to fend him off to know
affect. I wasn't even given enough time to transform.
So here I am, being dragged to some unknown destination, with no
knowledge of what is to happen to me. I hope Luna and Artemis are
okay.

Luna
Artemis and I froze as the beast came into view. It looked like a
cross between a wolf and a plains cat. Did I mention that it was huge!
It approached us as it spotted us. We froze in place, too scared to
move for fear of provoking it. : What are you doing so far from any
human villages, my little friends?: an amused voice asked.
I must have jumped five feet into the air at the sound of the masculine
voice in my head. In that instant of surprise my body had already reacted
to the danger. By the time my paws touched the ground my blue-black
fur was fluffed up, my ears flattened protectively against my skull,
and my lips curled back from my teeth as I let out a frightening hiss.
Artemis, being the coward he is, had hidden immediately underneath a
hollowed out tree only to be kicked out by a group of angry squirrels.
They made rude, chattering noises and pummeled him with acorns until
he ran out of their reach, speeding by Luna. "Squirrels! They're worse
then mice," he muttered, not watching where he was going. CRASH! Artemis
ran straight into the solid form of the cat-wolf.
Catching sight of the obstacle, Artemis yowled and attempted to run
again only the opposite way. Quick as lightning the cat-wolf lunged
forward and caught Artemis by the scruff of the neck with it's mouth.

Third Person
"Let me go, furball!" Artemis demanded in English. (Minako and he were
from England so he switches to English when he's distraught.)
:I hardly think you have a right to criticize: said the same voice with
a tinge of boredom. :Now stop struggling before you end up ripping out
your fur.:
The white cat stopped. "Could you put me down now?" he growled out, in
English since he knew that the cat-wolf understood it.
:Of course.: The cat-wolf let him down. :I'm going to have cat fur in
my mouth for the next month as it is.:
"Well excuse me, its not like I asked you to snatch me up with you
mouth," Artemis drawled.
"Don't be rude, baka no Neko," Luna hissed, as she came over to the two.
"I am not stupid!" Artemis cried, out raged.
"That's your opinion only."
If this had been an anime the cat-wolf would have been sweat dropping.
As it was it managed to make a rather human-like baffled expression.
:I'm afraid I don't know much about Valdemarian humans and their pets
but I don't believe cats normally talk much less argue with each other.
Unless you from Karse?:
"Valdemar, Karse?" Luna tested the names. They didn't sound like any
places she knew on Earth. "I'm afraid I don't know where either Valdemar
or Karse is. But as for talking, all Lunarian cats talk...at least
they used to. Artemis and I are the last of our kind."
:Some of your words are foreign to me as well, so perhaps we should
start at the beginning. I am Carish of the Kyree,: the cat-wolf said.
"Kyree...Very well, this Artemis and I am Luna, Chief Advisors to
Crown Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom."
:Moon Kingdom-Lady, I fear you are quite far from your home.:
"No shit, Sherlock," mutter Artemis.
With a quick swipe, Luna clawed his face. "I already told you not to
be rude," she told him.
"Kowaii no Neko," he grumbled.
Her amber eyes narrowed at the white cat. "Don't push it," Luna
growled, very scarily.
Artemis gulped and cowered. She snorted as she saw him lay on the
ground trembling. "Coward," she said, distainly.
"I'm still hurting from the kidnappers, Luna," he defended.
:What kidnapper?: Carish demanded.
"Some man took our friend, Hotaru. He was really ugly and dressed
horribly," told Artemis.
Luna snorted. "You've been hanging around Minako for to long if your
noticing what people are wearing."
The Kyree seemed to ponder this new information. :Is you friend a
mage?: he asked curiously.
"I'm not sure what you would consider a mage around here, but Hotaru
can use magic so I suppose that's close enough," Luna figured.
:I was afraid of that,: Carish said gravely. :I fear your friend was
taken by a blood-mage.:

may or may not use in the future:

Sailor Moon Dream
Chapter Seven: Priestess of Fire
By Delphine
Rei
Usagi no baka! She seems to just live to ruin my life. I just know
she's responsible for me being lost here, wherever her is. I have been
walking down this dirt road for Kami knows how long. All I've seen in
sight is a never-ending reign of grass, trees, and wild flowers.
Wait a minute, I think I see something in the distance. Grey- tents!
Thank Kami! I wanted to run over to the encampment quickly as possible
but I held back. I don't know anything about these people; they might
not even be able to understand me.
I wasn't even sure if I was dressed in clothes that they would deem
appropriate. After all I was wearing my miko clothes, I hadn't had
time to change before I'd gone to the party, and as far as I knew only
a select few wore my type of clothing.
Well no use worrying, I had to give it a try. I started to walk again.
A sentry stopped me as I approached what must have been the outer
perimeter of the encampment. "Hold and state your business," he
ordered in English.
Well, her goes nothing. I bowed respectfully. "Sir, I am Rei Hino,
a humble priestess that finds herself lost."
"Priestess, huh, ya know any healing?"
I wonder why he was asking. "I know the basics, but I'm afraid my
skills lie in other areas," I answered truthfully.
"What kind of skills?" He was obviously very interested in me for some
reason.
"Oh, charms, wards to keep off evil, fire spells, visions of the past
and future, that sort of thing."
It was then that I noticed just how young the sentry really was. He
couldn't have been past twenty, not with that baby face. Then again, I
wasn't much older than he was. "Ano...are you in need of my services?"
The sentry blinked. "Me, no. One of the members of the company was
cursed during battle and our master mage was injured too much to
remove it and the others don't have the skills to. The man will die
if he doesn't get the curse removed soon."
"Wakatta, ima take me to him," I ordered.
The boy guided me through the maze of tents until we reached on that
was much larger than the rest. "In here," he told me, pulling back the
entrance flap.
I stepped inside not bothering to see if he had followed me. I looked
around, studying each patient that lay on a demented type of futon. Each
had various wounds, some serious and others minor - but still keeping
them out of action- type, all were physical. Except one, a man with a
dark skin tone and braided black hair that reached just past his
shoulders. The feeling of evil surrounded the man, choking the life
out of him.
I moved forward towards him only to be stopped by a man not much younger
than Ojii-san who was wearing a green robe. "She's a priestess, Jehct,"
the sentry told him.
The old man, Jehct, nodded and moved out my way. I reached the injured
man's side and knelt down. I pulled out my prayer beads and wrapped
them around my right hand like a Catholic would with their rosary.
With that same hand I touched him on the forehead with the gentleness
of a mother attending her sick child. I then closed my violet eyes and
concentrated on establishing a link between our minds. With this new
connection I could see that he had been fighting the curse on a mental
level, all I would have to do would be to help. That meant I would
literally have to go into his mind, allowing my spirit to manifest
itself on the mental plane of battle.
Steeling myself I let my spirit slip from my physical shell and into
that of the injured man's. When I opened my eyes I found myself in a
totally different setting.
It looked like I was in some kind of ancient ruins surrounded by an
endless plain. This place had to represent something to the person
whose mind I was in. It didn't take me long to locate the mental
manifestations of my patient and the curse he suffered.
The man was wearing black leather armor and clutched in his hand a
sword straight out of the medieval times. He was fighting what
appeared to be a wolf with serpentine features. Clearly this monster
represented the curse.
It was only then that I noticed just what form I had taken. I was
dressed in red leather from head to toe; it reminded me of what a
group of woman called Mord-Sith in a book by Terry Goodkind that I
had once read wore. In my hand was a red wood bow, with flame designs
painted onto the sides. I had no quiver full of arrows but that didn't
concern me. The bow was a magical weapon that had belonged to the
Royal Mars family for generations. I had used it as one of my attacks
as Senshi Sailor Mars. When I wanted to use it an arrow would appear
for my use. Like now. As soon as I brought the bow up in attack
position an arrow of fire appeared. Taking aim, I shot at the monster.
My blazing arrow struck it just below its rib cage causing it to
shriek in pain. The warrior glanced at me, surprise written on his
face. "Strike it down, now!" I shouted.
My respect for the young warrior raised dramatically as he swung his
sword at the creature without hesitation. The monster gave on last
piercing cry before falling down dead.
"Thank you," he said.
I waved my hand. "You did it yourself, I just helped." Smiling, I took
his hand, startling him. "Ima ikisho!" In a flash of light we left the
spiritual plane and returned to our bodies. Overcome by exhaustion I
fainted. My last thought was that hadn't even learned the warrior's
name.

Bakayarou- idiot son of a...well you get the idea

Sailor Moon Dream
Chapter Eight: Guardian of Time
By Delphine
Setsuna
By the Goddess, my body ached. It felt like all the years I had lived
were finally catching up to me. I wished desperately for Motrin and a
soft bed to lay in but that was not to be, at least I didn't think it
was. My vision of the future had been so skewed that I only caught
brief glimpses if I tried hard enough.
I didn't want to think about what could have effected my senshi
abilities so much, but I did anyway. Lost in the woods of an unknown
world gave a person nothing but time to think. I wondered what would
come of the Earth without us there to protect it. But then I counseled
myself by reminding me that the Sailor Senshi weren't Earth's only
heroes. I just hope they're ready for the task. The road would be long
for them without the possibility of Neo Queen Serenity purifying the
world. But perhaps the people of Earth would create their own Crystal
Tokyo. Mamoru may be a bakayarou but he is still the Prince of Earth.
I can only hope he will eventually see the error of his ways and seek
to redeem himself by leading his people justly. After all his previous
incarnation, Prince Endymion was a pure hearted soul who cared for his
people very much.
Why am I thinking about this now! I should be more concerned about
finding my way in this Kami-forsaken forest. Trees, trees, trees! It's
enough to make want to go into the lumber business. Nature is so not
my thing, but what do you expect from me when you consider I've spent
most of my life guarding the Gates of Time, which exist in a barren
dimension.
Kuso, I'm doing it again! Focus, Setsuna, you have to find out where
you are!
:That I can answer easy enough,: stated an amused voice.
The voice sounded like a wizened old woman that had seen much and was
willing to share her experiences with others. :You're not far off,
youngling,: the same voice admitted. Before I could protest about my
age, the voice added, :I know just how old you are, but you've spent
most of those years guarding those gates of yours. You don't really
have any experience in just living.:
She was right, unfortunately. I was like a child who had been sheltered
in a monastery her entire life. It would explain why I had such a hard
time helping to raise Hotaru, for I knew nothing of how to take care
of a child.
:You said you could tell me where I am,: I questioned, forming the
words in my mind.
:Valdemar is the country you are currently in and as you may have
guessed this is not your world.:
Now I had a name, I just had to find the nearest town and try to
locate the rest of the senshi.
:I will guide you if you would be so kind as to pick me up.:
"Nani?" I asked, talking out loud in surprise.
:To your left, leaning against the tree.:
I looked. :There is just a sword.:
:I am the sword, youngling,: the voice snapped.
:Oh: What else could I say. Wasn't every day one found a talkin sword,
then who am I to judge, I run around in a mini skirt fighting monsters.
I picked up the deceptively plain sword. To my surprise writing
appeared on the blade in Japanese kanji. "Woman's Need calls me, as
Woman's Need made me. Her Need will I answer as my maker bade me."
:Just call me Need, It's what I've gone by the past few centuries.:
:The capitol of Valdemar, Haven. One way or another I have a feeling
the clues to finding your friends will be there.:
:Then let's get started.:
Author's Note: Sorry for the chapter being so short but I didn't
really have much more to do with Setsuna right now.

Author's Note: Man, I had to do research for this chapter! Just one
more chapter to go until I get back to all the other senshi. I have
noticed that I haven't had the senshi introduce themselves as is
proper in Japan: last name, personal name. I will start to do that.
Sailor Moon Dream
Chapter Nine: Maiden of Lightning
By Delphine
Makoto
"Kuso," I swore as I awakened and was immediately assaulted by intense
pain.
I blinked my green eyes until they focused enough to see. I looked
around expecting to find the familiar walls of my restaurant; instead
I discovered that I was in a tent, crudely made by Japanese standards.
Across the tent from where I laid was a crone in breeches and tunic of
dark blue and a headdress with the ears of a wolf.
As if sensing my stare, she looked over at me with piercing light blue
eyes. She picked up a bowl containing a liquid and walked over to me.
"Staven," she said, holding the bowl out for me to take.
Did she want me to drink? When I didn't take the bowl she put it to my
lips and tilted it so that some of the liquid dribbled into my mouth.
It was water! I took the bowl into my own hands and drained the rest
of the water. I hadn't realized how thirsty I was! "Arigatou," I
whispered.
The strange woman gazed at me before speaking rapidly in an unknown
language. I shook my head to tell her I didn't understand her. She
paused and then spoke again this time in heavily accented English.
"Do you understand this speech, young one?"
"Y-yes," I answered in the same tongue. I glance around again. "Where
am I?"
"With the Shi'a'in clan Vuysher'edras. I am their shaman Chihi. May I
know your name child?"
"Kino Makoto."
"Kino...sounds almost Shi'a'in."
I shook my head. "Kino is my family name, it is tradition to give it
first. Makoto is my personal name, Mako for short."
Chihi gave a soft smile. "Mako, how did you whined up unconscious on
the Dhorisha Plains so far from its border?"
A confused look appeared on my face. "The where?"
The shaman's smile faded. "You don't know...do you know who the
Shi'a'in are?"
"I know you are one," I said cautiously.
"Only because I told you."
I lowered my eyes. "I have never heard of the Shi'a'in, not until you
mentioned the name."
"Few have not heard of the Shi'a'in, though we are quite secretive,
and even they know of the Dhorisha Plains," Chihi told me. "You are
not from this world."
"My head shot up. "How?"
She smiled. "The evidence is quite clear, but that is not how I know.
Enelve'astre has granted me that knowledge."
"Enelve'astre?" I asked.
"The Star-Eyed in the common tongue. The Goddess of the Shi'a'in, she
watches over us in her four aspects: Maiden, Warrior, Mother, and Crone."
So these people worshipped a goddess. Back in the Silver Millenium I
used to worship Zeus the patron god of Jupiter like any good daughter
of the system's largest planet. There had only been three patron
goddesses out of the ten deities; Selene of the Lunarian Kingdom,
Aphrodite of Venus, and Gaia of Earth. None of them had had four
aspects. Selene had two: Queen and Sorceress but that was the most.
"What else did Star-Eyed-sama say about me?" I wondered.
"Quite a lot of things but I can only reveal to you a few of them. One
is that you are now a part of this clan, you shall be known as Makoto
shena Kino shena Vuysher'edras forever more."
A swell of pride filled my being, I just knew that I receiving an
honor not given to many. As if sensing my acceptance, Shaman Chihi
clasped my forearm and pulled me into a standing position. "Come let
us introduce you to the rest of the clan."
And so I began to live with the Shi'a'in clan Vuysher'edras, Brothers
of the Wolves.
Shi'a'in Vocabulary
Enelve'astre - Star-Eyed
Staven - water
Shena- of the Clan, literally "of the brotherhood"
Vuyasher'edres - Brothers of the Wolves, one of the four original
Shi'a'in clans.

Author's Note: This chapter's a little short, only because I know how
eager a lot of you are for me to get onto next chapter with Usagi and
Vanyel.
Sailor Moon Dream
Chapter Ten: Warriors of Water and Sky
By Delphine
Michiru
They came out of nowhere, two ethereal men. Hair long with moonlight
coloring and diamond eyes, they possessed a beauty that would make
most girls green with envy. They were dressed in gray leathers; their
forearms covered by a thicker material. It wasn't hard to see why they
would need such protection. Large birds of prey perched on each of the
men's shoulders. Each falcon's feathers had been bleached white.
:Warrior of Water: a soft, musical voice rang through my head. Beside
me, Haruka gasped in startelment.
The youngest of the strange men was focusing those pale blue eyes upon
us. Suddenly, those same eyes seemed to glaze over as if her were enter
a trance. He then spoke a loud in accented English. "Princess of the
Sea, Princess of the Air, Guardians to the ruler of light."
The older man looked at his companion with a serious, thoughtful
expression upon his face. "The ruler of light?"
"Child of Balance, Cosmos, descendent of Moon, Sun, and Stars."
"Star-Eyed," the man breathed.
"How do you know this?" demanded Haruka.
A small smile tugged at my lips. My lover was ever predictable in her
suspicious nature. I just hope she would not jump to conclusions and
would wait to see what happened instead of just attacking, as she was
prone to do.
I placed a gentle hand upon Haruka's shoulder. "Feel his energy," I
told her in Japanese. "It is not negative, we have nothing to worry
about. Perhaps he happens to have a gift similar to my mirror."
The tension faded from the Senshi of Uranus as her stance relaxed. She
turned to regard me. "Why do you have to be so damn persuasive?"
This time I did smile. "You're just a big softy inside."
Haruka said nothing as she used her arm to encircle my waist, pulling
me flush against her body. Her stance practically screamed that I was
hers and no one better interfere with that.
"You need not feel threatened," said the older man. "We mean no harm.
I am Starwind and this is my Shay'kreth'ashke Moondance."
"Shay'kreth'ashke?" I tested the foreign word.
"I believe the closest translation would be soulmate," spoke Starwind.
"Not to interrupt with the language lessons, but could you tell us
where the hell we are?" Haruka shouted.
I nudged her with my elbow. "Don't be rude," I admonished her.
"Currently you are trespassing on our land," Starwind said, matter of
factly.
"Your land?" I questioned.
"We the Tayledras of Hawkbrother's clan k'Treva."
"Oh, I'm very sorry. I'm afraid we appeared here unintentualy."
"We know. If you had, you would have been greeted with swords instead
of words," stated Moondance. "There isn't a mage in k'Treva that didn't
feel you arrival."
"Ano...is that bad?" I wondered.
"Not necessarily," admitted Starwind. "You're very fortunate that you
appeared here. We may be able to help you find your way back to your
world."
"Our world,"-my voice quivered-"this isn't Earth?"
"No," said Moondance.
I sighed. "I was afraid you would say that."
I shared a look with my love. "What do we do?" Haruka asked.
Moondance and Starwind wished us to go with them back to what they
called their Vale; I got the impression it was a type of town. We
agreed after all what other choice did we have.
"By the way," I said, "we haven't introduce ourselves yet. I'm Michiru
and this is my Shay'kreth'ashke Haruka."

Author's Note: Looking at the rating change, I think y'all can figure
out what takes place in this chapter. Hee, hee, I'm such a dirty-minded
person. I do hope I happened to make the scene believable, I don't have
a lot of experience in that area.
Sailor Moon Dream
Chapter Eleven: Waystation of Looooooovvvvveeeee
By Delphine
Usagi
We stopped at what Vanyel called a Waystation for the night. We had
been travelling all day long, sometimes walking and sometimes riding
on his horse Yfandes' back. Chibi-Usa had sat in front of me, her back
to me, clutching my arm that I had wrapped around her front to keep
her seated safely. I had sat flush against Vanyel, seated in between
his legs so that I wasn't going anywhere.
"Okay, let me get this straight," I said to Vanyel, "Yfandes is not a
horse, she is a Companion, and is as intelligent as any human being."
"Yes."
Well, why not? I have a talking housecat. :I can talk as well, just
not out loud,: said an insulted female voice in my mind.
Vanyel laughed at the stunned expression on my face. I put my finger
to my lips in a quieting motion. My eyes moved to the wooden buildings
main room, where Chibi-Usa slept. Vanyel nodded, stopping his laughter.
"I-I have something to tell you. All I ask is that you don't jump to
conclusions," I whispered.
"I already know," he told me.
What? How could he? "You know what?"
"That you're shaych."
"What is shaych, I don't recognize that word?" I asked.
"It is short for the Tayledras word Shay'a'chern, which translated
means to love one like ones self."
Tayledras...I remember now. Vanyel told me that outsiders call them
the Hawkbrothers. They were the ones to teach Vanyel magic. "Ano...
that's not what I was going to say."
"You don't like boys?" He sounded oddly disappointed. Could Vanyel be
shaych?
"No-I mean yes I do like boys,"-his shoulders sagged in relief-"but
I'm not a boy."
Puzzlement crossed his face. Sighing, I grabbed the kettle full of hot
water that I had warmed specifically for this task. "Watch," I told
him before pouring the water over my head.
The strange but familiar sensation of my body transforming took place
until I was one hundred percent female. Unsure, I raised my eyes to
look into Vanyel's silver ones.

Vanyel
Where an extremely attractive boy had sat was now a beautiful girl.
The similarities weren't hard to see. They both had the long gold
hair, startling blue eyes, and petite bodies.
"How? I asked, too stunned to form a more intelligent question.
"It's a curse," she admitted. "I fell into a cursed spring, so now I
become a boy when I get hit with cold water and hot water changes me
back to a girl."
"So you are really a girl."
"I was born a girl."-she smiled-"Truthfully, I am comfortable in both
my forms. So as to your earlier question, I am shaych...at least half
of the time." She glanced at me. "That doesn't make you uncomfortable,
does it?"
I smiled at her. "My dear lady, I am shaych."
"So when you asked me if I was..." she trailed off, blushing. "You
must be disappointed."
Was I disappointed? A little, I suppose. I was looking forward to the
possible tryst with the attractive blond boy. Then again it was still
possible. After all, I was still attracted to the male form. I didn't
matter if he was female in mind.
Grinning, I grabbed a cup of cold water and splashed the girl with it.
"Hey!" protested the newly transformed boy.
Leaning forward, I captured his lips in a passionate kiss. Usagi
succumbed to his own feelings, closing the distance between us. He
allowed me to pull him flush against my body, opening his mouth to
allow my tongue entrance. I ravaged his mouth, coaxing out of him a
low moan.
Through my breeches I could feel a hardness pressing against me, my
own becoming aroused. I had no doubt Usagi had never done anything
like this in male form. Releasing his lips, I thrust my pelvis against
him. He let out a small gasp as our arousals met. "Do you want this?"
I asked, rubbing against him and causing Usagi to give another gasp.
"W-what about Chibi-Usa?" he gasped out.
"Yfandes'll keep her asleep," I assured him.
:Only because I don't want to scar her for life: snorted Yfandes.
:Humans, always in season.:
"Alright then." He pulled away to undress and I did the same.

Usagi
What am I doing? I wondered to myself. Here I am, about to give up my
virginity, in my male body for goodness sake, to a man I barely knew.
But one look at Vanyel quieted any doubts I had.
He stood in front of me, bare of clothing, like a Grecian god. Long
white hair contrasted to his sun kissed body, giving him an exotic
appearance. His manhood, impressive in size, stood proudly at attention.
Acting on a sudden impulse, I took the length in my hand. Feeling the
texture, I marveled that something so powerful could be gentle enough
to create life. Vanyel gave a low groan.
I blushed and removed my hand. "I'm sorry, I've never..." I stuttered.
He caught my hand and gave me smile. "You were doing fine." -he kissed
me-"I'm honored to be you first."
Vanyel trailed his hands across my body, before he knelt down so that
he was eye-level with my groin. Unexpectedly, he took my hard member
into his mouth.
I gasped out loud. Never had I felt such pleasure as I did with that
warm mouth surrounding, sucking me, like I was a lollypop. Crying out,
my hips instinctively thrusted as I sought to move deeper into the
pleasurable warmth. Vanyel's hands gripped my hips, restraining me.
A feeling was building in my groin; my mind soared form the physical
sensations I was feeling. As I reached my peak in pleasure, I
experienced my first orgasm. A cry filled with the emotions I felt was
released as the same time as my semen. Vanyel drank everything I gave
like it was fine vintage wine.
As he removed his mouth from around me, a grin came across his face.
"Your quite loud" -I blushed-" I look forward to making you scream my
name."
Just the look of unmasked desire on his face was enough to harden my
member. "You're just as ready, I can see."
Vanyel directed me down to the floor, my rear facing him. I looked
over my shoulder to see him licking his fingers. "This might feel
strange," he told me before penetrating my anus with one of his wet
digits.
Another wet finger followed, and then he began to move the two digits
in a scissors motion, stretching me. It was a strange sensation, to be
sure, but not painful. A third finger joined the other tow, stretching
me even further until Vanyel was satisfied that I was ready.
He removed his fingers before nudging my legs further apart. A larger
length replaced them, pushing into me. I whimpered at the pain of
Vanyel entering me. He kissed the back of my neck and made comforting
sounds. Vanyel stopped as soon as the full length of his manhood was
in me. Vanyel waited for me to adjust to him stretching, filling me.
The pain eventually left, leaving me with a sense of completion. "Drop
your shields," the Herald-Mage asked of me.
And I did. It wasn't like lowering a wall; it was more like the wall
just suddenly was not there.
As my mental barriers dropped, Vanyel's mind joined mine like two
drops of water. Then he moved, pulling out until just the tip of him
was in and then he thrusted in as far as he could go, hitting a spot
that sent a shot of euphoria through me. He withdrew and did the same
thing until he established a rhythm.
My mind was being double assaulted. Not only was I feeling the pleasure
caused by the hardened length moving within me, I could also feel Vanyel's
pleasure as he pumped into me, my body clutching his manhood tightly.
I pushed back against him, trying to keep his length pressing against
my sweet spot. The heat kept building higher and higher until...
"Vanyel!" I shrieked as I climaxed for my second time.
My muscles clinched around his length, sending him into his own
climax. Grinding his hips against me, he filled me with his seed.
"Usagi," he panted.
Pulling out of me, he flopped onto the floor, close to my side, and
cuddled me. I looked into his eyes, feeling our mind connection as it
faded until only a thread strung our minds together. I knew, somehow,
that if I mentally followed that thread, I could once again join my
mind with Vanyel.
We spoke no words, it wasn't necessary. There was nothing I could say
to equal the feelings I sent out over our link.
"I think we had better get dressed," Vanyel suggested.
"I suppose so...after we wash." I really just wanted to stay in his
protective embrace, our bare skin touching, but I knew it wouldn't be
proper, no with Chibi-Usa likely to find us that way.
So we bathed and dressed each other, giving lingering touches as we
went. After a parting kiss, I went to curl up next to Chibi-Usa.
Before I fell asleep, I wondered if this had been a one-time thing or
did it have the potential to turn into something more. I'm not sure
which I feared worst.
Author's Note: I'm not sure if the next chapter should also be about
Usagi or should I go to another senshi. Your reviews could very well
help me decide.
