Author's Notes: This is the Darien's dream. It happens at the same time as Serena's dream.

Standard disclaimers apply. I don't own Sailor Moon...wow, I sound so redundant. Anyways....you all know that I don't own it, but I do own the new character in this chapter. She is fashioned after my friend Rose. So if you wish to use her please ask me for permission first. My email is bree101_nace@hotmail.com


Darien woke up just as the sun was rising. He walked out onto his balcony and watched as Tokyo slowly came to life, just as he had done so many times before. Once again he had dreamed of his princess calling his name. But this time, there was something different.

**Flashback to Dream**

The figure stood with her back to him. She was silhouetted in the glorious moonlight. Her twin pigtails flowed in the breeze.

"You must find the Silver Imerium Crystal," she pleaded with him, as she half turned. "Please, set me free."

Darien thought frantically. He needed to see her face. He needed to know whom this angel, who haunted his dreams, actually was.

"Please, let me see your face," Darien pleaded with the princess.

As she started to turn towards him, Darien started to move towards her, and then she faded way before he saw her face. All he saw were her tears as their fingers brushed ever so slightly against his.

"No!" He screamed out in vain. He searched the fog around him for any sign of the princess, but he couldn't find a clue.

"Please, come back to me. Who are you?" He asked the fog around him.

"You already know the answer to that," a voice said from behind him. The voice was soft and melodic, something a goddess would have.

He felt a hand being placed on his shoulder. The hand turned him gently to reveal a stunningly beautiful woman. She was tall, a little taller than Sailor Jupiter, but not quite as tall as he was. She had long black hair, it was pulled up in a half ponytail by four thick braids, and the rest hung straight down her back to her ankles. Her eyes were also black and held an ageless quality to them.

His eyes traveled over her outfit. It seemed to be similar to that of the scouts, but it was something that he didn't recognize. She had short white leather shorts and a red cropped cotton top with blue sailor flaps, and a large blue bow adorning the front. Gold threads held a red half-locket over her belly button. Her tiara was silver and held a small red heart for a stone. She had a red choker with a silver heart hanging down. She wore no gloves, exposing beautiful hands. She also wore black leather boots with silver trim; they came up to mid-thigh. She held a staff shaped similar to a key with a silver heart in the center and another adorning the top.

She smiled softly at him. "I am Sailor Destiny, the guardian of destiny."

"Why haven't I seen you before?" Darien asked suspiciously.

"Not very many people are privileged to see my sister, Sailor Love, or myself. But you are very important to a lot of people's destiny."

Destiny waved her staff in front of him, the center heart glowed slightly.

He looked down to notice that his clothes had shifted to that of heavy black armor, a red cape, and a sword at his side. He looked up to see the fog had disappeared and was replaced with the remains of a crumbled kingdom. He could also see the Earth in the distance.

He turned towards Destiny suspiciously. "Where are we?"

"We are on the moon," Destiny said plainly.

"But how..." Darien started to ask, but some things seemed to settle in his mind replacing some of his confusion.
"This is the Moon Kingdom, or was, before it was destroyed by Beryl, about 1000 years ago," Darien said it more to himself than to the scout beside him.

"You are correct. You are beginning to remember your past." The scout of destiny watched him closely. She hoped that he was ready for all of this, for his path would never be an easy one.

"The princess lived in this time?"

At Destiny's nod, he continued. "Does she live in my time too?"

Again Destiny nodded.

"How do I find her?"

"Follow your heart, it will led you down the right path," Destiny said, placing a hand over the young prince's heart.

"That doesn't tell me anything," Darien said, frustrated. He ran a hand through his hair. "Who was I then?"

"You were her lover and protector, just as you are now. Trust in yourself, young prince."

Destiny waved her staff again.

Darien was standing in the rose gardens, he looked up to see Serena smelling the roses. Just as she was turning towards him, he woke up.

**End of Dream**

Darien glanced towards Serena's house. "Follow my heart, huh?" he whispered to the wind. "My heart is pointing towards Serena. But what does that mean? Is she the princess I have been searching for? Do I love her?" Darien paused, looked again towards Serena's house. "I guess there is only one way to find out."

He pushed himself away from the railing and walked back into his apartment.
