Crystal of Hearts

Dementia is born

The dark side of the Moon, is and was always the home of Sailor Moon's most feared enemies. They say that there is no light without darkness, no good without evil... And it is true..There is no success without sacrifice.

"Have you ever experienced the loss of someone you love? Well I have...and that. Goddam goodness ended it. When Darkness wanted make her stronger, she was, but she had to push Chaos with her light.."

"But now.. You are.."

"I am nothing I am still useles for my sweet revenge... The darkness within me is unbelievably weak.."

"You still have time my dear to become strong."

"Time is something I don't have.. If those two lovebirds get married, that jucky goodie good world will settle in once more."

"You look tired, go get some sleep and when you wake up, maybe than you will find the solutions in your dreams.

" Maybe.. " this was Dementia, the frustrated child, who was left all alone after her mother was drained by darkness.Her body was so drained that the young twenty nine year old woman looked like a a woman at her hundered years. Her skin was roughened and it was dry. The facial skin, especially around theeyes, cheeks, and jowls was loose., it became also thin and transparent. All in all it was terrifying to look at her. As a child the only thing she wanted is to be close to her mother, but she refused to let her daughter get closer. All this time she recalls how Queen Serenity tried to allure her away from her, she even risked her own life, by visiting the dark side of the Moon to come and see her. She was once accompanied by her soldiers, but she asked them, no she demanded them to let her step inside alone. She took way to much risks, but we all know kind she is, she would never let anyone wonder off from the light. Her name was back then Etsudo, child of joy. But she was everything but joyful since they were sent in exile. Queen Serenity somehow admire her strength of being next to her mother. At first she said she wanted to save her, but then her mother told her the immense power Chaos gave her, and she was fascinated by it. She wanted to be the strongest, she didn't want to be the just a simple relative of the queen, she wanted to be her. When chaos realized that the child has a strong desire of being a ruler, it started invading her body, but as child it was still weak.First it a appeared in her dreams then in front of her like a shadow.

She recalled the last day she saw Queen Serenity.

"What are you doing here?"she demanded an explanation.

"My dear,..."she felt the coldness of the place.

" I am not your dear. "she was rude, but it was understandable.

" Please, reconsider your decision. You still have time to come with us. My only desire was to save both of you. Please our palace and our heart is open to receive you at any moment... " the Queen explained to her, in hope that she will rejoin her and go back to Crystal Palace with her.

"I don't know..." this was the time, when her final decision was made. At one moment it seemed that the power of the sweet embracing light will win, but then in the corner of her mind, there it was the constant voice that said "I am here, remember me? I can give you greatest desire, why be burden when you can become the ruler. If you are patient I can help you, if you get the Crystal and the Pure Crystals you will be the ruler. It will take time, but be patient, patient, patient... "The voice echoed in her head."Ahh leave me alone. !" She shouted and broke down I dispear in front of the Queen. She tried. To get close to the girl, but some thing created a barrier between them.

"Ahhhh!please open your heart for the light..." she begged and wanted to release the power of her Crystal, but she held back because the queen wanted her alive.

"No! I will never leave her alone. I don't need your light!"

"Then, if you made your decision, suffer the consequences of your actions. I will create barrier, never ever will you be able to get out. Until the Crystal and the Pure Hearts are alive, you will never get out." with that the Queen turned around and left her in her own darkness. She kept her promise of sealing them forever, not having the possibility to escape. Since then she gave up her identity and choose her name, of insanity. After her mother passed away she buried her body under a bush of black roses that slowly started growing, embracing the walls of the palace where she and the servants of darkness lived.

As I said she decided to get some sleep, she put her head down on the bed of black roses, sleeping in sweet agony. Her dreams were black as her soul, always the same. She dreamed of dead corpse around her, with bloody eyes. Walking passed them was what she was doing always standing on top of them, with her holding the perfect Crystal and the eight Pure Hearts, that is what kept her alive ever since. This time she had another dream and it felt so real like wave of evilness. The dream began at a cemetery, when the Moon which was upon the sky wa bloody red. She saw her mother's grave and then she heard a voice, so familiar.

"Welcome!" a voice came out of nowhere.

"Who said that?" she was turning around and wanted to see who the hell was the one who changed the sweet dream of revenge.

"I...did.."then her future self appeared in front of her.

" Who the hell are you?"

" You know who I am.. I am you.. "she got closer looking her straight in her eyes.

" How? "she looked at her more mature self.

" I am your goddam future.. I came to tell you that you can be what you want us to be... Just get the most shining Crystal of the Moon... And the eight Pure Hearts... From my future.. "

" Hahaha.. I can't even get out of here!"

"Your shadow can.. Send it to Earth, the daughter of the Moon Princess and a Star was born, under a forbidden day, and she is in your past to save her future, and the light of Pure Hearts as well."

"How will I know who she is?"

"I am weak.. Later I will show her to you...she is probably protected, her existence depends on free will, she can't directly bud in her mother's decisions. But the Pure Hearts..they will show up as soon as an innocent is in danger. They need pure souls to survive.. "

" Why should I believe you..? "

" Because you know yourself.. " and with that the dream was over. The girl woke up, sweating and with a demential smile on her face.

BACK IN THE FUTURE

" Did you send out the message? "the faithful servent asked it's master.

" I did... I think she got it.. But.. I couldn't show her the Princess of Moon.. It took me way to much. "

" Go take a nap. "it suggested.

" I will.. My bed of black roses awaits. "

She lay down on her bed and closed her eyes and thenthe dream reappeared.. Dead corps, with opened bloody eyes, just this time instead of the Queen on top was Atsuki, in her white Crystal Tokyo dress,she was dead, actually they all were.
