Chapter 11: Memories

“Folken,” he whispered. The man slowly raised his head to look at Van. A small smile graced his lips despite the sadness in his eyes.

“It's good to see you too little brother,” he said before passing out.

“Quickly let's get him inside!” shouted Van. Endymion took over for Sailor moon while Dilandau took over for Jupiter, and together they carried Folken in with everyone else behind them. As they hurried down the halls of the palace, Van shouted out orders of the things that were needed. When they finally stopped, they were in front of a set of double doors. Van put a key in the keyhole and then opened the doors opened. “Put him on the bed,” he said, “I need to go find a healer.” He ran off down the hall in search of one of the palace healers.

Endymion and Dilandau walked over to the bed and placed Folken on the bed and then backed away. All of the senshi were looking around the room in silent awe. The room extravagant in its design but at the same time had a simple homey look to it. The room also looked as if it hasn't been used in many years. Dust covered everything from the plush garnet carpet that covered the dark marble floor to the furniture that littered the room. Deep garnet and black blankets and pillows covered the bed and decorating the room were a few banners and portraits. Off to the left side was the balcony, the heavy garnet drapes were pulled closed. The only one not in awe of the room was Sailor Moon as she looked down at Luna.

“Can't I heal him?” asked Sailor Moon after he had left.

“I don't know,” Luna replied, “I don't remember if the wand can be used to heal such wounds as these without the Ginzoushu.”

“It's worth a try, isn't it?” asked Venus, “I mean Van may not get to the healer in time.”

“V-babe is right. If we don't do something now he will die,” said Jupiter.

“Jupiter its Venus not V-babe,” whined Sailor Venus. Luna sighed at her senshi's behavior, before turning her attention to Sailor Moon.

“There is a chance that this may work, but I'm not sure,” said Luna.

“Just tell me what to do,” said Sailor Moon. Luna nodded.

“Walk over to the bed and hold the crescent wand over his body,” Luna instructed. Sailor Moon did as Luna said she looked over at Luna patently waiting for her next instructions. “Good, now close your eyes and concentrate on your Moon powers, guide those powers into the wand, and then concentrate on healing his body.” Usagi nodded once and closed her eyes. She called upon all the power that she held within her. Concentrating them into the Crescent wand. Her only thought was to heal the man on the bed. Slowly the power started to gather into the Crescent Wand and the wand was starting to glow. Luna nearly gasped when she saw the slight glow coming from under her tiara. `Usagi's calling upon her lunarian powers, I hope that no one notices,' thought Luna worriedly. Sailor Moon concentrated on the body before her. In her mind's eye she could see all of the wounds that he held. After a few minutes she had put all the power she could put into the crescent wand, it started to pulse.

“Moon Healing Activation,” whispered Sailor moon as her eyes drifted open. The wand pulsed once more before a golden light started to emit from it. As the light engulfed Folken's body, everyone had to shield they're eyes because the light became too bright. When the light died down Sailor Moon collapsed and detransformed.

“Usagi!” Venus shouted. The senshi were immediately at they're leaders side. Mars pulled her into her lap and looked down at her worriedly. It wasn't until she whispered something about more pancakes that they all sighed in relief.

“Baka odango atama,” Mars muttered as she lifted Usagi up with the help of Jupiter. Endymion came over to the two and gently took her from them. He held her in his arms bridal style and began to move towards the door, before he was stopped by what Hitomi's gasp.

“Look,” said Hitomi, “she did it.”

“Hitomi's right,” said Merle. Everyone looked to the bed where Folken now slept peacefully to see that they were right. Folken's wounds were completely healed. He just needed to be cleaned up and rest. Just then Van came in with the palace healer. He looked around quizzically as the healer walked over to the bed to examine Folken.

“What happened here?” Van asked.

“Usagi healed Folken-sama, Van-sama,” said Merle.

“How?” he asked in confusion

“We don't really know,” replied Mars, “She just pointed her wand at him, activated it, there was a bright light and then she passed out.”

“It's simple really,” said Luna, “she just concentrated all of her energy into healing his wounds but she used up too much energy in the process. So in the end she passed out, her body she be recovering from the energy loss right now.”

“It's true Van-sama,” said the healer, “all of his wounds are completely healed. All he needs now is plenty of rest and food once he's awake of course.”

“Thank you Stella,” he said.

“You're welcome Van-sama,” Stella replied. She then turned to the senshi. “I would like to take a look at your friend if you don't mind.”

“Of course you can, just let us get her to her room,” said Luna. They all filed out of the room and headed down the hall towards Usagi's room. On the way the girls detransformed. A few minutes later Endymion was placing Usagi in her bed and the girls pulled back the covers. Standing back he allowed Stella to come forward to examine her.

“Well there's nothing physically wrong with you friend.” She said a few minutes later, “She used up too much of her own energy when she healed Folken-sama, but she should be all right in a day or two. Just let her get some rest” Stella then left the room to head back to the infirmary. Endymion pulled the covers up and tucked her in then ushered everyone out closing the door as h left. Luna stayed in the room curled up next to her charge.

A little girl with golden blond hair tied up in two odango's on either side of her head and cerulean blue eyes was playing in a field. She seemed to be no older than three or four. She was wearing a light blue sundress with a straw sun hat. In her hand was a red ball. She stopped what she was doing and looked up into the sky. A woman with indigo blue hair and eyes and pure white wings was floating down towards her. She was wearing a pure white dress. The dress was a spaghetti strap dress. The back was open down to the small of her back to allow her access to her wings.

“Mama,” the little girl cried with glee as she ran over to the woman dropping her ball in the process. The woman picked her up in her arms with a smile on her face. “Mama, when will I have pweety wings like you?” asked the little girl.

“You already have them sweetie,” the woman answered as she adjusted her hold on her daughter.

“I do?” ask the little girl in confusion.

“Yes you do,” said the woman, “you just don't know how to call them out or use them yet.”

“Can you teach me?” asked the little girl. The woman chuckled at her daughter's inquisitiveness and eagerness.

“Of course I can Usagi,” she replied as she tap the girl on the nose.

“Thank you mama,” Little Usagi said happily.

“Okay now I want you to listen to me very closely, Usagi,” said the woman. Usagi nodded her head vigorously. “Close your eyes and picture yourself in your mind. When you see yourself in your mind, picture yourself with wings.” Usagi closed her eyes and did as her mother said. She saw herself in her mind first. She then thought about what she would look like with wings and the picture in her mind changed. Unconsciously she felt a small pain in her back. She kept her eyes closed tight afraid of what happened. Her mother chuckled lightly before telling her to open her eyes. Usagi slowly opened her eyes. She didn't feel any different. She looked up at her mother questioningly. “Look behind you sweetie. Usagi did and what she saw made her face light up in happiness. Coming from her back near her shoulder blades were two pure white wings.

“Yay I have wings just like you mama,” said Usagi as she flapped them experimentally.

“Yes you always have Usagi, but you must never show them in public,” said her mother in a serious tone.

“Why?” Usagi asked.

“Because you are special and bad people will try to take you from me if they find out how special you are,” said her mother.

“I pwomise that I won't show my wings in fwont of anyone ever,” said Usagi, “I don't wanna lose you mama.” Her mother hugged her closer, closing her eyes to shield usage of the pain that was in them. `I know you will Usa,' she thought.

~//end dream\\~

Usagi woke up to the sun shining in her room through the open drapes. She rolled over and tried to fall back to sleep, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't get back to sleep. She sighed and slowly sat up. `I've kept my promise mama, but I don't think I can keep it a secret forever.,' she thought. She then remember what the dragon in her dream had told her. `He said I was a draconian,' she thought, `is that what we are mama?'
