Chapter 16
Seraphina sat in the library with her lexa, Nithos, who curled up beside her and fell into a light nap. Seraphina herself sat at the piano, thinking about what had happened. She touched her chest where her heart was and wondered why there was pain.
* Why do I feel this way? * She questioned herself as she began to play the piano. * I can never be happy..never. * She banged on the keys at once, making a terrible sound as she got up and walked towards the balcony.
Outside, it was dark and the stars and moon were out, shining their light upon them. But even there, Seraphina found no rest for her mind or heart.
She saw that the Space Senshi were out there, with their respectable boyfriends/fiancés. She felt the pang in her heart again, a great heaviness settled over her. She felt something wet splash on her bare feet. Her cheeks were wet and her eyes burned. *What's this?!* She thought touching her cheeks and wiping them away. * Tears?* She stares wonderingly at the wet salty teardrop as she rubbed it between her fingers. Fascinated by it's simplicity. *I'm crying?* She caught some movement out of the corner of her eye. She watched as the couple left.
*I must follow them! * And swiftly, she jumps up to the roof and follows the couple silently.
"Daranara," Welkin breathed softly pulling the young woman closer. Gods, how he loved her; he remembers fondly on how he first met her. Out on the fields where the girls' trained.
She was there, standing next to another girl who looked nearly exactly like her, only her hair was darker and her eyes were cold where Daranara had lighter hair and her eyes were filled with some type of life.
He remembers how he had asked her for her name.
'Don't tell him anything.' The other girl instructed. 'He must defeat me in order to have her name. Then and only then shall we speak it.'
The other senshi followed the girl's lead. 'I hope you win!' the girl had told him.
The other girl scowled and her twin. " Hush-a-up."
And so they fought, and he won.
But now, he wonders if Seraphina had let him win, he still wasn't sure, and he knew she wouldn't tell.
Welkin kissed Daranara once again, a passion filled with love....love for her.
"I love you, D, I will always love you."
"And I, Wel, will always love you, my prince."
Hidden in a tree, Seraphina watches her younger sibling kiss her love. Something fragile inside of Seraphina forced her to look away from the scene, heartbroken. No, she didn't love Welkin, but she did love someone else, that she could never be with for he was dead.
She felt the tears that she had thought were gone, fall down her cheeks as she cried for a lost love. * I can never be happy...It always turns out wrong.* With that she leapt away, leaving her half-sister with the man she loved.
*Damn you, Nicca! *
She remembered him...her first and only love. And how she hated him when he left her alone..when he died.
*~*Flashback*~*
Seraphina was hiking through the woods with her lexa, Nithos, when she came upon a traveler in the mist of a fight with some bandits. Quickly she transformed and joined in the fight.
After it was over, the traveler turned towards her, "You madam, have just shamed me."
Sailor Hymir just blinked, "Oh, and how so, traveler?"
"Because you are either as good of a fighter as I am, or better."
She shrugged, she didn't have time for this, she had to get back to the palace. "Where are you heading traveler?"
He removed his hood. He was hansom, with long lavender hair that was in a ponytail with rich deep brown eyes. He looked like a royal to her and she didn't like royals too well. All of them are out for their own grain.
"I'm heading to the palace of Leah."
That's when she noticed that his eyes matched her own, which didn't really surprise her at all, it only meant to her that he could fight really well. "And who do I owe this please of talking to?" She asked as they walked back to the palace.
"I'm Nicca Fanel. Lord of Fantasy Manor. Guardian of the Prince of Fantasia."
Hymir raise a dark brow, "And what are you doing now arriving?" She asked as they walked.
He looked back and paused, "Wait a second."
She shrugged and watched him. "Sure."
He whistled. "Freya!" He called and a black lexa with golden eyes came slinking towards him.
"Ah, so you have one too?"
He nods, "Yes, and where is yours?"
"Nithos!"
Her silver lexa came up to her and sat down next to her. He looks at the other lexa that had entered his territory and circled the other one.
"Let me guess, it's a girl?" She asked and turned, resuming back to walking again.
"Yes, and yours, a boy, I do believe?" Nicca said.
"Of course." She told him.
That was just about all the conversation that went on between the two of them.
*~*End of Flashback*~*
Seraphina laid down on her bed, trying hard not to cry again. Yes, he was interesting. There was something about him that drew her to him and yet made her wary of him, in a feminine kind of way; the way a woman in wary of a man. She buries her face into her pillow, gods, she missed him.
It was the next day, and the Senshi with the ex-dark moon family, went out to eat and shop. They were all surprised when Seraphina didn't put up a fight about training or anything.
Daranara watched her sister worriedly. Something was wrong with Seraphina, something that she couldn't quit name yet.
Seraphina didn't care what was going on during the day. Her heart wasn't in it and so she only followed them from shop to shop, never saying a word to anyone. But in her mind she was back..back in Leah with her love.
*~*Flashback*~*
"Hymir," Nicca and his lexa, Freya, came out into the training area.
"Yeah?" Hymir said absently, "What do you want?"
"I want to know your real name." He stated.
"What for?" She asked glancing at him then practice her moves again.
"I don't know..." He says casually, "Maybe I like you."
She stopped dead and looks at him, "What makes you think that I'll tell you anything?"
The prince and his guards had been staying on Leah for at least a half a month to finalize the wedding plans. Hymir still didn't like Welkin, but hey, who was she to judge.
"Fight me for it!" She declared.
"Alright."
That's when she attacked, "HHHIIIYYYYAAAA!" She went offense, backing him up into a corner.
She fell on the ground with her sword clutched in her hand. Nicca dropped down and stood beside her with his sword pointed at her neck. "Well, it seems the tables have turned, my dear. Looks like I win." He said quietly looking at her with a cocky smile.
She smiled back. "Think again." She told him and moved out of the way of his sword so fast that it seemed to be more of her then it really was.
They went at it again, the clashing of swords resounded threw out the field.
There was a soft 'thud' sound of steel hitting the ground. Her sword had fallen; he had knocked it out of her hand. Nicca backed her up as she dodged his strokes. She leaped up into the air and did a somersault over his head. He saw this and did back flips towards the fallen sword. She picked it up just in time to block his attack.
By now both had attracted a crowd of on lookers as they battle to see who would come out on top. He started attacking her with everything he had and she nimbly blocked and parried his attacks.
"They seem to be evenly matched." Prince Welkin observed, "Even though I beat her, I think she let me win."
Princess Daranara stares at her sister, "I think so too, but." She looks up at him with a smile on her face, "She'll never admit it."
Back on the field, the two warriors fought hard and long until they came into a deadlock.
"My, Hymir," Nicca panted, "You certainly are very skilled with swords."
"Why, thank you, Nicca, but you need to concentrate more on the fight than me." With that she swooped low and knocked him off his feet and stood over him, her sword pointed at his neck.
"Give up." It wasn't a question or requested; it was a statement.
He looks at the tip of the blade then at her cold azure eyes. He knew then and there that she could kill him easily; all she had to do was twitch the sword. He also knew at that moment that she must have allowed the prince to win because she was the best.
He nods, "Aye, I concede."
She looks at him and shrugs, than helps him up. "Good match." Was all she said and turned away.
"Hey, don't I get to learn your name?!"
She looks over her shoulder at him, "Maybe, but no one, expect my mother, has ever called me by my given name from birth."
"And what would that be?" He asked curiously.
She stood sideways and detransformed into an outfit that looked like tight black spandex pants with a black tank top and a pair of sneakers. It was a really bizarre outfit by their standards. Hymir had them made specifically for this kind of work. She knew the King didn't care as long as his darling little daughter, Daranara, was well protected, though the Queen didn't like it to well but tolerated it.
"What sort of outfit is that?" one of the knights asked, "It's not fit for a lady to wear such garments that shows off her unmentionables."
Hymir stares at him for a second, then said, "Shut the fuck up." She flicked her hair behind her shoulder, "If you don't like it, then fine, but it isn't going to stop me from wearing it." She looks at Nicca, " Besides, you said so yourself, Taylor, I'm not a lady, so why don't you get your priorities straight, ya dumbass."
Nicca couldn't move, his eyes roamed her figure with a very heated gaze and found himself getting hard. *Damn....she's beautiful. *
Hymir noticed his heated gaze and shook her head. *Fool. * she thought.
"What's your name?"
"First, I'll tell you the most important thing that will keep your ass alive."
"Besides licking boots and kissing up?"
She nods and sheaths her sword. "First is, question what I do at your own risk. Never call me by my given name; my name is Seraphina. And lastly that is the most important is...." She turns, "Never screw around or fall in love with death. It shortens your life expectancy."
But, to her dismay, they did fall in love, with each other.
*~* End of Flashback*~*
"Seraphina!"
She snaps out of her reminiscing and looks around. The senshi and the others were staring at her.
"What?" She asked wishing Nithos was with her. For obvious reasons, Nithos couldn't come. Though he, like her, was not happy about it. They were getting off the train and headed into town for dinner.
"What's up with you?" Jadeite asked. "You've been spacey all day!"
"Yeah," Melfina piped up, "and you didn't complain about us not training again!"
Seraphina just shrugged. "Whatever." She mumbled. "It's not like it's the end of the world."
The Space senshi and the guards stared at her strangely. "Are you sure you're ok?"
Daranara asked worriedly. "You've been acting differently since you came back. What's wrong?"
She glanced at them and before she could reply she saw a familiar face in the crowd.
*No* She thought as her heart began to pound in her ears. *No it can't be him....he's dead! He's Dead! Damn it! I saw him die! He can't be here! * She cried out in her mind. But the familiar face went somewhere else and she felt her heart slow down.
"Nothing..princess..nothing is wrong, but it isn't right either."
