				        A death 

A lone figure stood , gripping the railing of the balcony as she cried .
 Her long blond hair down , reaching the floor , her face stained with tears
 . The raging waters below her reflecting the inner turmoil she felt within
 her mind and heart  .  The beauty of the flowers surrounded her , the bright
 colors radiating in the little light  of the moon . The flowers usually gave
 her peace and confert , but now they didn’t help at all . She looked out , 
seeing the mountains witch hid the beginnings of a new day , witch held 
sorrow and grief . She knew  on the other side of those mountains was Crystal
 Tokyo , her kingdom and home . It held many memories , for her now . Most of
 them happy . Her eyes closed , trying to remember happier times , but 
failing . The same scene played over and over again . 
--------------***************************************************************-------
	"My queen ?" An unsure voice said from the door of the thrown 
room . 
	"Yes , come in ." She said , noting the tone in the mans voice . 
	"My queen ,"He said shakily , bowing before her .
	"Please , do not bow , we are friends ."She had said calmly . 
	"My queen , I have some bad news ." Neo-queen Serenity stiffened at
 those words , it had to be something bad , and she had a since that 
something was wrong all day ."What is it ?"
	He looked scared , she could tell he did not want to be the one d
elivering the message . "My queen , your son Drake is dead ." The memory 
faded out but the words still plagued her mind is . Dead is dead is dead 
over and over again .
-------------******************************************************~
	A new set of tears formed as she cried as she collapsed to the floor
 , curling herself into a ball . Her sobs racked her body as she cried , and
 she wished that Endomen could be there to hold her . But she had kept the
 place a secret to herself , not telling anyone where it was . She cried , 
alone , for her dead son . She had tried to heal him , but the senshi , and
 Endomen wouldn’t let her . She was splashed by a wave that had come in to 
the shore , she didn’t care . She didn’t care for anything anymore . All hope
 was gone . Her son Drake , her eight year-old son was gone . She cried , 
letting everything out in the salty tears she shed . She didn’t even find 
out how he had died , when the senshi said that she couldn’t heal him after
 she had brought out the Crystal , she teleported here . She was tired , but
 she couldn’t fall asleep , the scene plagued her sleep too . She had been 
up two days , refusing to give in to sleep . She knew she could go three 
days and she would . Her blond hair blew in the slight wind , though she 
couldn’t tell . She was unfeeling , lost within her on emotions of grief , 
sorrow and guilt . She let out a scream into the air , the tears still 
falling down her pail cheeks . She could hear the echo  of the sorrow and 
grief of the cry off the trees and mountains . She pulled out a dagger form
 a z-space pocket . It was a simple dagger with a golden handle used to kill
 . She stared at it though watery eyes , looking at its blade .  She knew it
 could end all the pain , all the sorrow , an a few seconds . She raised it 
up knowing it would be over soon ....
	"Serenity-sama don’t ." She turned her head abruptly looking at the
 person who had said the words . She would have realized who it was sooner ,
 but the tears in her eyes made it harder . "Pluto , w...what .... what are 
you doing here ?" 
	"Put the dagger down , Serenity ." She ordered . Serenity complyed ,
 and placed it by her side . "W...why are .... are you here ?"She asked still
 crying still wishing she could let the pain go away . 
	"So you wouldn’t use that , Serenity , you have a daughter , a 
husband and nine senshi who care too much about you for you to do 
this !"
	"D he’s gone Pluto I ...I ..Oh God Setsuna !"she broke unto a another
 set of tears . Pluto gather up the grieving queen in her arms as she cryed .
 The sun by now was high over head , but the tears still fell down her
 cheeks . 
	"Sere ?" A soft tender male voice asked at the door . "Endy ...." 
She scrambled up and ran into her husbands arms . He held her close as her 
shaking body cried . Pluto picked up the unused dagger , and left the two 
alone . His head buried into hers as they cried , for their lost son . There
 , in his arms , Serenity fell asleep , and was not plagued by his death .
 They would get though this together , no matter how long it took for the 
wounds to heal .
