No one knew, but secretly, Hotaru was afraid to look into the deep darkness… It didn't matter, was it the darkness of the night, the darkness of a demon… She was afraid. Because she was the One… The One who saw the bond, between those darknesses and the deep darkness of herself. It's the dark side of herself, she was really scared of… Everything else was just consequences of that fear.

Hotaru was taking a walk with Setsuna.

-Hotaru?- said Setsuna.- I heard you scream tonight. What troubles you?

-Nothing,- Hotaru whispered.

-I though we agreed, that we will never lie to each other.

-Yes… Yes, we did,- Hotaru said silently.- Okay… I think I trouble myself.

-What do you mean by that?- Setsuna said and look around the silent alley.- Let's go to that restaurant. We can talk about this over a cup of tea.

The two young women went inside the restauraunt. It's interior seemed beautiful for the two. Everything was filled with red and colours similiar to it. There were dark brown oak tables everywhere. On each of the tables stood a beautiful boquet of little red roses, put in a orange glass vase. The tables stood around the walls of the square room and in the center there was some sort of scene. On that scene there was a big brown piano. Some famous pianist were playing it. Hotaru liked the calming music.

The two chose a table in the corner of the room. When the waiter came they ordered a cup of tea each. Two girls listened to the beautiful piano song quietly until the waiter came back with their beverage.

-So…- Setsuna began.- What did you mean by saying that you trouble yourself?

-At least a part of me really does,- Hotaru nodded.- You see… I've never told this anyone before… When I call upon the Senshi within, I feel a third presence inside me. A disturbing and frightening presence. I sense the Destroyer of Worlds.

-And that's how it supposed to be,- Setsuna said drinking her tea.

-It is?- Hotaru looked surprised.

-Yes. Because the Destroyer of Worlds, the Dark Spirit is a part of you. Just like the Creator of Worlds, the Angel of Light.

-But I've never sensed the good presence before. Only the… destructive one.

Now, Setsuna looked frightened.

-Now that isn't very good,- she whispered.- You are Sailor Saturn, the keeper of harmony in all the worlds. When one world reaches the limit… There is a limit. When that limit, the world is in its worst state… So, when one world reaches the limit Sailor Saturn shows up as the Dark Spirit and devastates the planet. After the "purge" that world wont see even a little life for a while. But the devastation isn't pointless. There must be doom and destruction, so there could later be rebirth. When the time of rebirth comes, Sailor Saturn returns to that world as the Angel of Light and starts a new life there. So Sailor Saturn… I mean you must keep harmony by destroying and, later, reviving. If you can't keep harmony between those two presences inside yourself, how can you hope to keep harmony in all those millions of planets?

-Well…- Hotaru whispered.

-No. I do not expect an answer. But you must find that harmony within yourself. And that is a task you must complete alone. Good bye, Hotaru. I will wait you were I always do. I will see you again, when you will have that task done.

Setsuna quickly raised from the chair, nodded to Hotaru and left the restauraunt, after paying for the tea.

"Did I scare her?" Hotaru thought, sitting on a bench in the park.

"Yes, you did." the answer was said by someone in her head. "You're evil."

"No! I am not good… but I am not evil either! Who are you?!" Hotaru looked frightened.

"I am you. A part of you. A part of you who knows everything, to be exact."

The mysterious voice in her head was silent for a while, but then it spoke again.

"I know what you are thinking. I know your every thought, every dream, every fear, every… desire. I know everything about you, as well as you don't know anything about me. I am the one you are so scared of."

"No, you are not!" Hotaru closed her eyes and covered her head with her hands.

"Yes, I am and you know that. You're just afraid to admit it. But you have no choise. You do not exist as a person with free will anymore. You are completely under my command."

"No… NO!" Hotaru tried to deny the fact, that this strange spirit was controlling her, but her self esteem and belief in the Light slowly faded.

"You see? Your fading in my presence! Where's your good side now?"

"I don't have a good side." Hotaru forgot what Setstuna said and gave up fighting. "I don't have the Angel of Light inside me."

That's exactly what the spirit needed – Hotaru's belief that she is nothing but darkness. Then, Hotaru entered some sort of trance – she quickly raised from the bench, her eyes looking straight ahead, but not seeing anything… The girl screemed in pain and fell to the cold cement. In fron of the weak figure of Hotaru stood someone confident, someone determined, someone… evil. This strange person which was hiding in shadows was the being Hotaru was so afraid of.

-Get up. Follow me.

Hotaru obeyed, like she wouldn't have a will of her own. She followed the Destroyer of Worlds to the deep darkness of the sleeping city.
