The Origins

Prologue - Seiya's Vision

By Angel Love

Author's notes: This is a spin-off/sequel of my story Finding Destiny. This is based on my original characters from that story as well as a few new ones. The prologue starts after the Stars season.

Standard disclaimers apply. I don't own Sailor Moon, the Greek Gods or the Gundam Wing characters I fashioned them after. However the Guardians are mine, please do not take them without my permission.

Seiya stood watching the girl/woman in front of him for a few moments. Her beauty awed him. She had an incredible shine to her. But he could also see that shine was fading rapidly, drowning in the overwhelming situations that had been occurring around her.

He thought back to the vision that brought him and the other starlights back to earth.

** Vision **

Seiya was in his male form, wandering aimlessly when suddenly he saw her.

She was an exotic-looking girl. She stood alone at the edge of a cliff, her wavy blond hair gently brushing around her body as the breeze stirred it. She turned her face towards him. He could see the tracks of her tears down her cheeks. But as his eyes met her hazel ones, the scene began to rapidly change.

A beautiful red rose sat surrounded by white feathers. Suddenly, the rose wilted and the feathers were blown into the air, shaping the symbol of peace. Then the symbol was shattered, revealing the figure of the blond girl. She was in a senshi form similar to his own with brilliant white wings, but the look on her face was one of pure horror.

As Seiya reached for her, she fell from the cliff, her wings suddenly useless to her. Seiya could hear her screaming his name as she fell.

When he tried to run after her, another girl in a senshi uniform stopped him. She had a long white braid that curved around her body. Her fuku was of the traditional white with a purple bow in front and back. Her skirt was blue. She wore leather purple boots that came to her knees. Her gloves came to her elbows to end in three purple circlets. And she had a small pink choker.

Her eyes begged him to stay, although the rest of her face remained impassive.

He stopped to look at her, unsure of what to do. He desperately wanted to get the girl, but he knew that this was important too.

The strange woman waved her hand and suddenly the unconscious and battered body of the blonde was in his arms. He looked up at the white-haired woman in confusion.

Her voice was soft, but full of urgency. "Seiya, you must save her. Otherwise she will die. You are her only hope to regain what she has lost."

"How?" Seiya asked.

"Go to Earth." Her figure began to fade. Seiya stared down at the beautiful face of the woman in his arms. "Her name is Angel. Help her, Seiya. Without her, all is lost," the voice faded away with the vision.

** End of vision **

Seiya looked over at the girl again. There was no mistaking her; she was the one from his vision. He knew a little about her from Serena and the girls. But he didn't know what had chased her here. Angel had remained silent about everything. Although he was sure that Pluto knew, the guardian of time was remaining silent and very watchful of the fallen girl.

Seiya sighed as he walked up behind her. He had a mission to do. He had to save this girl, although unless she opened up, he didn't have a clue as to how to do it.

"Hello, Seiya," she said without turning around.

"Angel, what are you doing out here?" Seiya asked, standing at the edge of the cliff with her so that he could look at her face. Her eyes were closed, her face tilted up to the wind.

"I miss her, Seiya," she said, surprising him. She looked over at him, her hazel eyes full of pain. "You know, I have never been alone before," she said, her voice quivering slightly, a single tear falling down her face. "For the first time in 3000 years, I can't hear her voice. I can't hear her laugh." More tears fell silently down her face. "I miss her so much."

Seiya was slightly taken aback that Angel was being so open with him, she had been using her sadness as a veil to hide behind, something that he knew from Serena was unusual in of itself. He opened his arms and she walked into them, burying her face into the shoulder of his red jacket. He held her to him, rubbing her back, listening to her quiet sobs.

Soon her sobs quieted and she sat cuddled in his arms. Part of her was afraid to move away, and part of her was afraid to let him continue to hold her. Everyone she loved seemed to be dying lately. Could she risk letting anyone else in? But she knew from the warmth that filled her from being held in his arms that he was already inside her.

Seiya's quiet voice broke into her thoughts. "Will you tell me about your life?"

Angel half laughed, a far cry from her usual carefree laughter. She looked up into his blue eyes. "Where do you want me to start?"

Seiya smiled at her and pulled her down into a sitting position next to him, her legs draped across his lap. "How about how you became a Guardian?"

Angel looked over at the water, her head falling gently onto his shoulder. "It is a long story," her voice sad.

Seiya wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her a little. "I'm not going anywhere."

Angel closed her eyes, then sighed. "I was born in a time when..."
