Silver Legends Act XXV
The Siege: Tokyo Under Attack.

Tuesday Afternoon.
Hikawa Shrine.

  'What's going on?' Usagi yelled completely confused to Chibiusa as the darkness veil was spreading all over the city. Tokyo plunged into the darkness as the chosen backgrounds of the dreadful scene were the terrified and confused screams of the rest of the city's inhabitants.
  'I can pick two... no three... wait, five... yes, five strong emanations of energy falling over the city!' Rei said turning her head in several directions as the darkness veil almost had finished covering the city now as Phobos and Deimos hissed in clear discontent.
  'What are they up to?' Minako asked just as confused as Usagi, meanwhile Makoto and Ami were analyzing Ami's data in her minicomputer.
  'Impossible...' Ami mumbled lowering her gadget and staring the landscape of the city from Hikawa Shrine.
  'What's wrong Ami-chan?' Makoto demanded at once.
  Without a single sound coming from her mouth, Ami merely raised her hand pointing at the city as 5 large obelisks were falling scattered over the city as the darkness veil had covered the whole place.
  'Oh you've gotta be shitting me...' Makoto mumbled in complete surprise as the strange formations began to glow.

18 days ago.

Saturday early morning
Dark Judgement Army's Earth Headquarters

  The starry night shined above the balcony of Lord Caerentus's room; with a few clouds floating lazily over the horizon as the inhabitant of the room was lying flat in his back, staring the distant stars.
  'I made a promise... and I intend to keep it' he thought as he extended a hand to the sky, the pale boy attempted to take a single star in his palm. 'And when I'm done with all these parasites, my dream will come true... ' closing his hand as he finished these words in his mind.
  'CAERENTUS-SAMA, CAERENTUS-SAMA!' Moruka yelled as he bursted inside his master's room without knocking first. 'IT'S AN EMERGENCY! HELENA IS... HELENA IS... AAAAAGH! he kept on squealing when he was suddenly hovering over the floor as the young boy had tuned to see him with an unfriendly expression on his face.
  'You'd better have a valid excuse to interrupt my meditation Moruka, or I'll teach you how to fly without wings.' Caerentus said narrowing his eyes and moving his hand so the hideous counselor were floating over the balcony's rail. The Pacific Ocean gleamed like a mirror 10 miles below the floating island as the counselor was kicking and gagging in mid air.
  'Pe-Persephone returned from their mission in Elysion... but Helena...' Moruka said on a high pitched tone.
  'What about Helena? Tell me!' Caerentus said making the deform man fall a few inches before grasping him again.
  'She... she's...' Moruka squealed as he was looking terrified to the large fall he would had to face if his master decided to release him now. 'She's hurt pretty bad!'
  'What?' Caerentus cried releasing him as he left the place as fast as he could.
  'AAAAGH!' Moruka cried as the managed to get a grip from the lower part of the balcony. 'Master please, don't forget about meeeeeee!' he yelled as fear tears were dropping from his frog-like eyes.
  The rest of the Acolythes were gathering in their garden as Paill, the plant Stalker was using some of her magic to heal Helena's wounds. Ganimides looked pretty worried about the welfare of the young woman as Aurora was aiding the relatively unharmed Persephone.
  'So you met the Sailor Scouts down there, and then waht happened, why Helena is hurt that bad?' Orion asked to his partner.
  'We... I was about to face Sailor Sun with my Stalker when Dark Moon managed to escape me and left me against that crazy girl... She's learning to use her powers real fast... and even Dynilfan couldn't stand in her way as he was obliterated in a blink.'   'That means that the Fire Keeper's bond with her crystal is getting stronger by the minute, Caerentus Sama won't be happy to hear that.' Ganimides mumbled as he weighted the idea to have to face a full bonded Keeper.
  'Of course I didn't want to be burned to ashes, so I left as soon as I could, but shortly after that I heard Helena's voice, she was crying for help and... I...' Persephone carried on as the gates of the garden were bursted out of their hinges revealing an angered Caerentus. His crimson eyes scanned the place looking for one of the few persons he could trust in the entire universe and the sight of having her lying in a bad shape made him, if that was possible, even more angry. Orion and Ganimides rose up as fast as they could, as Persephone hid behind the confused Aurora. Without even looking at somewhere else, the young boy strode next to the lying woman as Paill had merged in the grass.
  'You four... leave us alone.' He ordered in a rather calm voice, still not looking at the other four Acolythes. With a small reverence to their master, the two men and women walked away from the place as the young man knelt right next Helena's face. Slowly he cleaned a blood stain in her cheeks as he arranged her hair so he could see her blurry eyes.
  'Ma... Master?' Helena moaned once she noticed the energy of the person next to her.
  'Yes, dear Helena. I'm here for you.' Caerentus replied conjuring a jar of water and a silver goblet for her.
  'You shouldn't worry... and denigrate yourself to take care... of a failure like me.' Helena replied as her voice trembled, due to fear or effort, it wasn't clear even to her.
  'My dear Helena, you know you're my favorite...' he replied pouring water form the jar into the cup. 'I wouldn't even think to do something to you in your current shape. Now relax and tell me what happened down there.'
  'W-We were there... to steal the information you ordered us to...My Lord.' She replied with a huge amount of effort as her breathing began to accelerate.
  'And then?' he asked politely extending the cup to pour its contents in her mouth.
  'I... I wasn't expecting to have the Keepers in that place...please forgive me...' she pleaded with a faint voice as the water in the cup danced dangerously close to her lips.
  Slowly, Caerentus placed the cup in the floor as he proceed to take Helena's head between his hands, drawing his forehead next to hers.
  'Master I... please...' she begged once again as she could feel Carentus's forehead touching her own.
  'Just relax...' he mumbled as his eyes released their eerie crimson aura. 'I'll do the rest.' Helena's eyes went blank after these words as the flow of memories began to pass from her own mind to the one of her master.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

  She was facing Sailor Moon inside the library... Tuxedo Mask tried to fight her, but the man was no match for her astonishing speed... She was about to take Sailor Moon's crystal when the ceiling began to fall apart... The traitor... The filthy traitor had stained her by touching her body and dragging her outside the library... Helena used the best of her repertory... Spells and speed... But they were evenly matched... Then the traitor had spoken again... Insulting her beloved master... She had to make the Scout pay for the insult... A powerful attack had just hit her... A young child was laughing with her... they seemed too happy...'

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

  Slowly Caerentus opened his eyes, a faint smile crossed his face but her merely shook his head, trying to get rid of it as if it were just an annoying bug. Helena gagged as she was released of the link, rolling over her place trying to get away from the boy's reach.
  'Helena dear... relax.' Caerentus repeated taking her chin and looking into her eyes, his expression was now a strange neutral one. 'I'm a comprehensive man... Nothing else matters if you're OK and you've managed to complete your mission, right?'
  Helena gulped as her eyes met the young man ones.
  'Because you did manage to finish your mission, am I right?' Caerentus asked leaning over her face still holding her chin.
  'I-I did...Sir.' The woman replied a bit relaxed as she extracted an ancient parchment from her clothes to deliver to her master.
  'To your health...May you serve me this efficiently for all the eternity.' Caerentus said grinning at her as he was lifting the cup in the floor before drinking the water inside it.
  'My Master's mercy is the best gift I can ever get.' Helena replied trying to stand up and have some water.
  'Helena dear, you should better know than anyone else that my cruelty is reserved only to my enemies and those who don't serve me at their best.' The boy replied giving her a second cup. 'Now take some rest, we'll scratch our next move based in this...' Caerentus finished as he stared the old parchment in his hands.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

  A few minutes later, Caerentus had summoned the rest of the Acolythes and his two counselors at his main chamber. Ganimides's experience had suggested him to attend the meeting with his full battle gear, a decision highly questioned by a more relaxed Orion.
  'When you get to my age, you'll learn to make these little moves ahead of time.' The old man said wisely as their leader climbed the stairs to his throne.
  'My dear Acolythes: Ganimides, Aurora, Orion, Persphone. And of course my most trusted advisors Nemo... Moruka...' he said turning his head to the alluded person. 'So far we've been playing hide and seek with these cursed Sailor Scouts just to avoid the possibility to damage such a pretty world...' the Acolythes nodded in approval as Moruka's wicked grin widened even more, even allowing himself to cackle. 'But that's enough already. We came this far to get one thing and only one thing: My destiny as the Supreme Keeper and the glory that awaits you as my faithful servants. But we can't reach our goal if there's some pathetic vermin standing in our way and you, dear Ganimides, you know what do we do with such pests.' The elder man nodded as the three young Acolythes exchanged excited looks.
  'I'll send a message to the rest of the Stalker hordes ordering them to abandon their fronts and prepare themselves to crush this miserable mud ball into oblivion... it will be a delightful spectacle my friend: our gateway open above the skies of this world, letting our glorious army enter their cities and obliterate our enemies... That no man, woman or children that dares to oppose me will live to see the dawn of the new era in wich at last, a new Supreme Keeper will reign with iron fist and will bring order to the Galaxy!' he yelled extending his arms to the sky.
  'But to accomplish that, we need time my Lord; and if we don't have a constant activity, the enemy will suspect something else is going on..' Moruka observed as his grin faded.
  'Exactly, the Sailor Scouts aren't that naive.' Added Nemo's voice from below his robes. 'And we still need to find out about the Water Keeper's were abouts.'
  'I have considered these facts my dear counselors and that's were you five will have to play your best cards: distraction and deception...' Caerentus replied looking at his Acolythes. 'While Nemo and Moruka will set up the gateway, you'll have to distract the Sailor Scouts by any means neccesary... I don't care if you turn that city of theirs into a cursed wasteland,  I want you to keep them busy with a fake lead while the real plan is being executed under their noses; you can kill and destroy all that your whim desires; I want you to make them pay a million times the pain and hurt that they had brought to our dear Helena, lead them in the wrong direction and when they think they're at the edge of victory... they'll find out they were mistaken when the final move will be executed. Is that clear, my loyal Acolythes?'
  'YES SIR!' Ganimides replied with a  booming voice as Orion punched the air in excitement. Aurora grinned in approval as Persephone displayed an arrogant smug.
  'To the victory!' Moruka cried in excitement as Nemo merely nodded in approval.
  'Now my dear Acolythes... Summon the rest of the Stalkers you've managed to bring here and deliver a sample of the incoming hell they'll have to face.' Caerentus ordered with a vicious smile. Slowly, but at an steady pace the usually empty hallways of their floating fortress began to fill of noises of excitement, snarls and cackles of a thounsand beasts.

Monday morning.
Juuban High School.


   'Are you OK Ami-chan? You don't look so good....' Usagi observed as she noted the exhausted look on her friend's eyes.
  'I've seen Youma with a happier face...' Makoto commented as Ami was sitting down in her chair.
  'Well, I've been up late these last two nights trying to figure what's written on that book... the writing isn't like anything I've seen before and not even the Computer can translate what's written down there.' Ami replied, her voice indicated she had not a good sleep lately due her efforts to translate the book they managed to bring back from Elysion.
  'What about Luna? I bet she knows something.' Minako asked looking at Usagi.
  'Well, Luna is trying to remember something about Queen A-tha-ri...' the pigtailed girl replied on a whisper as she was passed by a classmate. 'But so far she's got nothing.'
  'Maybe we should take the book to Setsuna-san or Ookami-san, after all they got the chance to meet her.' Ami suggested as she drew her notebook.
  'Ami-chan... what's that?' Makoto asked leaning over her friend to read the notes.
  'The 500 words essay we were asked to do for Minazuki-sensei... remember?' Ami replied as the alluded professor was entering the classroom.
  The two blondes and the brunette exchanged awkward looks among them as Usagi had spent the weekend with her family and taking a moment to pay a visit to a healed Haruka and Michiru; Minako had been playing her favorite videogames once again as Makoto had visited Motoki to spend both days helping him and Unazuki at the parlor.
  'You... you guys did you homework... right?' Ami asked a bit confused as her friends began to sputter nonsense.
  'Well... Mama wanted to clean the house and not even Papa managed to escape and I...' Usagi spoke nervously rubbing her neck.
  'Oh... you'll see... I was... in the middle off something... something big....' Minako replied making over elaborated hand gestures as Makoto merely whistled while looking outside trough the window.
  'You can't expect to learn if you waste your time like that...' Ami replied a bit upset closing her notebook.
  'Well, what' going on there, class has already begun Misses Tsukino, Aino and Kino.' Said the professor, a middle aged woman with some lines under her eyes and a curly hazel hair. 'I bet you're ready to deliver your homework.'
  The three girls began to skulk back to their seats, followed by their teacher's eyes as Seiya, Taiki and Yaten were standing at the door.
  'And you, class has already begun, you'll better have a good reason to display such behavior.' The woman said narrowing her eyes towards the three boys.
  'We had to leave town for a special concert.' Seiya replied entering the room, walking straight to his seat.
  'Please, accept our most sincere apologies, Minazuki-sensei.' Taiki spoke making a small reverence to the woman.
  'Well, I expect you have at least managed to find some time to do your...' the teacher begun to spoke as Yaten delivered three notebooks to the woman.
  'Here you go.' He said dedicating a smile to the woman, who couldn't repress a little blush before letting them to take their seats.
  'A special concert?' Usagi asked to Seiya mumbling.
  'Yes, Firefly wanted to see us as soon as possible and we've just got back...' he replied drawing a book from his case; we'll discuss it over lunch.'
  'Oh yes... Misses Aino, Kino and Tsukino... I want that essay before lunch time is over or you'll have to make an 800 words essay about today's class.' Minazuki-sensei said casually as she began to write the lecture of the day in the blackboard.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Monday noon.
Juuban High School: Roof

  'So I heard that girl's trip to Elysion didn't went as smooth as they might have wanted...' Yaten asked leaning over the protective fence as Seiya and Taiki were next to Haruka and Michiru, who had finally returned to classes.
  'Those bastards... getting in and out of our world as if they own it...' Haruka grumbled as she punched the wall of the staircase cube. 'We need to look alive people... they're setting their pieces over the board while we're still at a blind spot.'
  'Well, that's part of what Princess Kakyuu wanted to share with us...' Seiya replied standing up and addressing the the present group.
  'By the look on your face, Seiya-kun, it can't be good news.' Michiru said narrowing her eyes as Taiki nodded.
  'Besides them, there are a rather few number of free Sailor Scouts out there... Sirius, Triforia, Celesta who are doing the best they can in their respective systems against the Dark Judgment Army, until a couple of days ago...' Seiya spoke looking at his brothers and the two girls among them. 'When suddenly, a part of these creatures stopped their attacks and moved away.'
  'What?' Haruka asked stranged as Taiki carried on.
  'They have told us that some of these still free worlds were about to fall, but the Stalkers just retreated like that.' The tall boy spoke, as his voice showed some concern.
  'And I suppose that "Special Event" is...?' Michiru asked.
  'An invasion.' Seiya replied dramatically.
  'Should we expect the same thing that happened in the Sun Palace?' Haruka asked as the memory of the besieged city with hordes of hungry and savage Stalkers returned to her mind from the depths of her memories.
  'Most likely...' Seiya replied with a slightly depressed tone of voice. 'If that's the case we can expect to hold a while, if Dumpling and her sister do their job right, we might get a chance.' Everyone else seemed to be depressed by Seiya's words, wich send their own minds to wander in dark scenarios of defeat as Haruka spoke again.
  'I've been inside the bowels of hell twice and thanks to our combined efforts and the guidance of Meatball-head we've managed to win... I see no difference here, what do you think, Michiru?'
  'Well, even if that girl weren't a Keeper I would fight along her until the end, because that's our destiny.' Michiru replied confidently as she added 'And I'm sure that Setsuna-san and Hotaru-chan also share our feelings.'
  'Are you saying you'll fight, no matter what happens?' Yaten asked torn apart between incredulity and respect.
  'Well, I don't see why we shouldn't do the same.' Seiya replied staring at his brothers.
  'Oh, I was afraid you might say that you big idiot.' Taiki replied with a chuckle as he rubbed his eyes.
  'But we're talking about a full scale battle and you guys think it's just a picnic, are you insane?' Yaten asked again in an exasperated yell.
  'No, we realize the importance and the risk of it, but entering that storm with doubts and fear will lead us only immediately to certain death.' Taiki replied opening his purple eyes and staring the shocked expression on Yaten's face. 'And as for me, I don't have any imminent plans to allow the Threelights to become a duet.'
  'You're crazy man... crazy as a goat!' Yaten replied rather upset, before leaving the roof in a storm, muttering angrily.
  'He doesn't seem too sure about this...' Haruka said a bit confused to Seiya.
  'Eh, let him be... at the end he'll get the right idea, am I right, Taiki?' Seiya asked poking his brother's ribs as Taiki merely nodded.
  'Oh yes, you weren't supposed to discuss this information with the Princess as well?' Michiru asked to Seiya.
  Seiya and Taiki looked at each other as the tall one merely shrugged and Seiya began to laugh nervously.
  'I know...' Haruka said slightly annoyed as Michiru began to giggle 'She's on...'

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Monday noon.
Juuban High School: Library

  'What a waste of a beautiful morning...' Usagi mumbled annoyed finishing her essay on the library as Minako was leaning over Makoto's shoulder in order to get some more ideas. The clear sky was displaying  almost no clouds and a few birds flew by the window accompanied by the giggles and laughter of the students on the courtyard.
  'Well, you could avoid these problems if you managed to schedule your activities in a proper way.' Ami suggested as she was giving another try at the ancient book.
  'Oh Ami, no offense intended, but you're a freaking genius while we're...' Minako replied, divagating a moment trying to finish her sentence.
  'Brainless zombies.' Finished Makoto as she had managed to get an inspiration to add a few more lines.
  'Mako-chan!' Ami said blushing as Usagi giggled.
  'Actually I was thinking in answering something a little less drastic, but yes, "brainless zombies" sums our school situation pretty well.' The pigtailed girl replied as the door of the library opened.
  'Oh, good morning young ladies!'  said a male voice.
  'Hey, I got early here today, so you can't give me detention!' Usagi replied jumping out of her chair and turning to see Unkaino-sensei standing at the door. Minako and Makoto hurried to finish their essays as Ami was putting her special book inside her bag.
  'No problem about that Tsukino-san, in fact I'm missing you as my assistant., these cursed tests are just too irritating to evaluate by myself.' Tenshi replied with a smile as he drew some books outside of his own bag. 'I just wanted to be polite with my student, that's all.' He said as he went inside the shelves to place the books in his hands back in their rightful places.
  '"Horriblifics" isn't a real word, am I right?' Minako asked to Ami handing over her essay for a last check as Makoto had finished hers.
  'No, but other than that I think it's OK.' The blue haired girl replied as she resumed her lecture.
  'Speaking of things with no sense... have you noticed that Haruka-san and Michiru-san are back again?' Makoto asked as she packed up her notebook and pen.
  'Yes, I saw the whole thing!' Usagi replied. 'These orbs made a great job healing their wounds! I wonder where did Mamo-chan got those things.'
  'They're probably some cool stuff from Elysion, like these crystal roses or Ami's unreadable book.' Minako suggested as she made the final corrections.
  'Or maybe...' Makoto suggested looking at Ami, 'They're from someone else.' The brunette girl emphasized the last part of her sentence.
  'Well, that's a chance you can't discard. Remeber how he encountered Mamoru the other night to warn him?'
  'If he gave that help to Mamo-chan, then that means he can't be a bad person.' Usagi mumbled as Ami's face was turning in a slight shade of pink.
  'I don't know, maybe he's luring us to a sense of false security and when we're distracted, letting our guard open, BAM! He'd stab us in the back.' Minako said slamming her book before placing it back in her briefcase.
  'No, I don't believe so...' Ami said calmly still trying to understand the codex. Her three friends turned to stare her clearly as she had lowered her face inside the book again.
  'I have one word for you Ami-chan... Endymion. Have you forgotten about him?' Minako asked as they remembered the behavior of Mamoru after the awakening of Princess Serenity. Ami closed her eyes remembering these moments in wich Mamoru, possessed by the will of Queen Metalia had an erratic behavior, was that the same case? A small tear fell from her eyes, unnoticed by her friends as they had left to deliver their essays.
  Yes, Mamoru had behaved the same way... he had helped them and shortly after that he had tried to steal the Silver Crystal... not just one, but several times.
  'But his eyes... she thought as a loud thud made her pop out of her bubble, making her to be aware again that she wasn't alone in the room.
  'Stupid, stupid me!' Tenshi cried from a few shelves' away as he was picking up some books.
  'Are you ok?' she asked peeking over to see the professor kneeling in the floor surrounded by over a dozen books.
  'Yes, they just hit me in my head, but other than that I'm ok.' He replied gathering some of the books. Smiling, she walked next to him and proceeded to help him to pick up the remaining books as he looked at her at her face for a moment.
  'Are you ok? You seem troubled...' Tenshi asked as she rose again to place the books in their place.
  'Well...' Ami doubted if answering that question would be appropriate.
  'Listen, you don't have to answer me if you don't want to; but if I can help you in anyway just let me know, right Mizuno-san?' He said taking the books from the girl's hands.
  'Thank you, Unkaino-Sensei.' Ami replied as she looked at the books he was reading. It was a colorful array of volumes about ancient civilizations from the Middle East: Egypt, Persia, Babylon and so. 'You like reading that too?' she asked casually as he was placing the last few books in their shelf.
  'Well, I do like history, that's my grade.' Tenshi replied opening a book, 'To know the past...'
  'Helps you to build a future, yes I remeber that one. But sometimes the past is too complex to be studied.' Ami answered as her mind flew to the book in her bag.
  'Indeed, but sometimes, to solve a puzzle, all you need is a different point of view and you'll be amazed of what you can find, for example, during the last century, British archeologists found some strange jars in Baghdad and they had no clue what they were meant for until they asked another branch of scientists about them and they realized that these mysterious jars were, in fact, batteries.'
  'Batteries?' Ami asked stranged.
  'Yeah, crazy isn't it? With the propper focus even the darkest fog can be unveiled a little and eventually that will lead you to a discovery.' Tenshi finished as he placed the last book in its place.
  'A different point of view...' Ami mumbled as the man bowed her goodbye before leaving the room.

Monday night.
Mizuno family apartment.

Night had fallen slowly over the city after a regular Monday. Usagi had went to visit Haruka and Michiru at their home again, meanwhile Makoto and Minako went over to Rei's home to discuss their imminent actions, but without the proper guidance it was like trying to walk inside a dark maze without a light to lead the way. Ami had arrived to her place in order to put up to good use the advise her teacher had gave her.
  'Of course, I've been trying to work using my mind with this object, when it clearly was not meant to work that way...' She thought as she carefully had closed her bedroom curtains and placed the book on her desk. After checking twice that her mother was still on the hospital, she proceeded to sit before the book, whose cover seemed all innocent looking and unreadable as it had been showing itself these few last days.
    'I'm the reincarnation of the Mercury Princess, and I wish for you to help me in my quest...' She said softly at the book, whose appearance didn't changed at all.
  'I'm talking to a book...' she mumbled slightly ashamed as she took the volume once again to verify any single change on its condition.
  'Come on! I really need your help!' she spoke again to it with a higher volume of voice. Slightly upset, she placed the book leaning against some other books, the ancient book remained still.
  'Oh please!' she grunted punching the table making the book slip all the way down to the floor.
  'Oh mother, what should I do now?'  she asked leaning on her chair staring a picture of her younger self with her mom and dad. Her memory flew back to these few days she enjoyed next to her parents before her dad had announced her mom one night that he was about to leave them in exchange of a promising career in a foreign country as an artist. That pic reminded her these few precious moments shared with her family and in her more desperate moments, that picture seemed was the link between her current self and a long gone past.
  'Whenever you need a light to find your path in the darkness of ignorance, you can always ask your mother to help you, Mercury.' A disembodied female voice spoke from inside the pages of the book. Slowly Ami turned in surprise to verify if she was alone indeed.
  'Don't worry my child, I'm here to help you' The voice spoke again from the depths of the book as Ami's eye twitched a moment as the written words on it began to shift and form images in the pages of the book.
  'How do you...?'
  'You're seeking for knowledge, Princess Mercury, don't you?' the voice asked casually as the animated ink had formed a galaxy on its pages.
  'Yes, I'm looking for knowledge, in fact is knowledge about the Keepers.' She asked with unusual strength on her voice . The book's voice began to spoke in a soft voice as it suddenly projected images as part of its tale.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

  It all began ages ago, when time began to run and stars began to shine, everything coexisted in balance, peace, justice, order and light all over the universe. For there were eight forces ruling over everything that existed on this universe: Darkness, Light, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind and Chaos.

  Each one of these wanted to be the one that ruled over the remaining seven and war erupted almost immediately between them, former brothers and sisters were now hated rivals and each one of them fought their enemies relentlessly.

However, it was just before ultimate annihilation that a single person rose from the ashes of desolation wielding the power of Love, fighting for those who wished nothing else but peace among the creatures of the universe.

  Most of these beings realized the mistake they were making, destroying what had costed them so much to build and lamented their actions, but not Chaos, since its power derived from the hatred and conflict between them. On a last fight, the power of Chaos faced this small new challenger, mocking it and underestimating it.

  It was a terrible battle, in wich entire stars and galaxies were desolated as the other six forces were staring the battle and truth appeared on their hearts: as long as they had balance between them, Chaos won't be a threat to existence and they chose to end their conflict and vowed to live in harmony.

  But the conflict still was going on as Chaos won't let go easily its supposed right to be the supreme ruler and the four milestones of creation: Fire, Earth, Water and Wind concentrated their essences in sacred relics to be lent to the one fighting for them, giving it the upper hand in the conflict and delivering a mighty blow in Chaos's heart.

  Weakened, Chaos ran away from its former companions cursing them and vowing to return one day to rule them all as the Love warrior remained as the sole victor of this war. The other six forces recognized her power and bestowed upon her the title of Supreme Keeper of the Crystals of Life.'

  When she left this universe in order to follow her destiny, the Keeper foresaw the return of Chaos to destroy its betrayers and everything that existed; and thus she decided to pass on her power to the most adequate soul to wield it; but in order to not letting this person to be alone in such conflict, she also sent away the borrowed relics form the primal forces, trusting that they'll find the most adequate person to aid her chosen one in the future.'

  And so, she departed knowing that her friends will follow her last wish choosing among these favored souls with their own blessings, in order to save and protect the creation of their hearts when Chaos returned once again...

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

  As the book's last words faded into the air, Ami's felt her head spin, staggering she managed to lie on her bed and after a few seconds she fell deeply asleep.
