His arm wrapped around Serenity fiercely, 
curling his fingers around her slim waist, while at 
the same moment he looked into her eyes; eyes that 
were filled with the soft, warm glow that signaled 
love to all that dared look.  His heart nearly 
burst with happiness at the thought; love for him.  
Only him.  He was content with that, knowing that 
she had felt this emotion to him. 

	 "I love you."  He said with passion as he 
kissed her forehead gently, careful to savor every 
moment with his beloved.  He had no idea why he 
should, but he knew that he had to, and did so 
easily as he reveled in the glory of it.  He tugged 
her away with him gently, and she went without 
protest, snuggling against his side, unaware of the 
eyes that tracked their progress across the soft 
lawn of the gardens.

	'How could he?'  She silently raged, standing 
in the shadows as they walked by, blissfully 
unaware of her presence.  

	'How could he!'  Her mind screamed, jealousy 
whipping through her mind.  'Can't he see _my_ 
love?  How could he choose her over me?'  Her hair 
rose upon the wind as her anger took on a more 
physical form, swirling about, and her face was 
twisted in rectums of indescribable fury.

	She stood stock still for several moments, 
glowing faintly, though it went unnoticed, and 
then, quite suddenly, something clicked in her 
mind.  The wrong conclusion of course, but 
explanation enough for her heart, which was too 
blinded by pain and petty jealousy to see past any 
of it.

	'She must have put a Love Spell on him.  That 
damn Water Sprite.'  It was written in the Ancient 
Texts of Magic, that the only way to destroy a Love 
Spell was to kill or permanently incapacitate the 
caster of the spell.  It would not be easy this 
time round, considering who her rival was, but she 
could do it.  She would.  It wasn't the first time 
she had killed, after all.  A bitter, malicious 
smile, twisted her lips, and sharp fangs glistened 
in the pale light of the Heavens.

	"So, the only way to get Endymion is to kill 
Serenity."

	She spoke the words aloud, and they focused her 
in a way nothing else had, as if by naming her 
enemy, she was declaring her purpose, and indeed 
she was.  The name of the Sprite as she spoke it 
was so filled with hate, that even if she had not 
spoken the other words, her intent would have been 
clear. 

	She was going to kill Serenity if it was the 
last thing she ever did.

	And if it came to that, she would make sure to 
take the Sprite with her into the next world.

	Love and Jealousy: An Unforgotten Legend
	By: Eternal Angel and Jade
	Chapter 7

	I told myself not to think of you
	I was just wasting my time
	I told myself that you would never
	Never
	Feel this way for me
	I was just not your type
	I told myself I shouldn't be so foolish
	You weren't the only person
	Out there that I can love
	I told myself that tomorrow
	I won't feel a thing 
	When I look into your eyes
	And now tomorrow is today
	As I see you again
	Raising my head up to meet your eyes
	I find out that 
	I fell in love with you again

	~~~

	Serenity buried her head into Endymion's chest, 
giving a soft sigh of contentment.  Something 
mingled at the back of her mind, but she pushed it 
firmly away, preferring her beloveds embrace to the 
cold reality awaiting them.  He voice brought her 
back from her fantasy world that consisted of the 
two of them only, however. 

	"I love you."  He whispered softly in her ear, 
as if not able to say it enough times, and she 
agreed with that.  She couldn't hear it enough 
times either.  Then the uncertain feeling came back 
and something occurred to her that she had managed 
to ignore up until this point.  She wish the 
nagging voice in back of her mind would stop it, 
but it only banged louder as she looked up at him, 
her long lashes fluttering together and apart.

	"What about your engagement?"  She asked him, 
her eyes telegraphing her worry.  "We can't be 
together..." The words hurt, more than death ever 
could, but it was true.  If he was already engaged, 
how was it that they could be together in even the 
smallest way?  Beryl would never allow her within 
ten feet of Endymion, and she knew as Prince, there 
was no way the engagement could be broken.  The 
engagement had been final, and there was now no 
turning back.  The only way to break the engagement 
was death.  She began to pull away, once again near 
tears at the thought of the future.  She'd wanted 
so much to be with him.... before she could run; he 
pulled her back, wrapping his arms around her in a 
bone-crushing hug.  She was shocked by his action 
as she looked at him, tears welling in her eyes.

	"Iie!  Don't you ever say that again!!  I never 
want to hear you say that!!  Can you stop thinking 
about everything else for one and think about what 
_you_ want?"  Endymion demanded, then softened both 
his words and his eyes with a soft, tender kiss on 
her mouth.  She swayed, folding into his embrace 
again, and he heard her whisper softly, "What I 
want has never mattered before now.  You have to 
give me time; for thousands of years I have lived 
only to serve the people of this universe and bow 
to *their* wishes, *their* lives.  Suddenly 
everything is so different, and it is going to take 
me a long, long time before I can get used to it."

	His heart soared.  Get used to it?  So she 
meant to stay!  She was really going to stay with 
him.... he resisted the urge to swing her around in 
circles; afraid he'd hurt her (she was such a 
delicate creature).  All of his dreams were coming 
true, and he gave her a fervent kiss that told all, 
and nothing, about the true joy in his heart and 
soul.  His heart dance within his rib cage and he 
kissed her again.  They were unaware of the 
presence of an audience. 

	"How romantic..." Mina sighed softly from her 
position next to the far bushes, to the couples' 
right.  The two paused in surprise, both of them 
blinking, and then disengaged, blushing bright red 
as they noticed they had an audience.  They all 
laughed.  It was a wonderfully perfect moment.

	"Awe!  Mina, look what you did, it was getting 
good too."  Amy whined, and nine faces turned 
towards her, explicate shock pasted across their 
faces.  The girl in question blushed even darker 
than Serenity and Endymion combined and hid her 
face in Zoisite's vest.  He laughed good-naturedly 
and put an arm around her, content.

	"I'm so happy you're back!!"  Lita exclaimed, 
and then drew the surprised girl into a group hug 
while the men watched in amusement.  Small 'eep's', 
and the occasional yelp could be heard from inside 
the melee.  

	The generals smiled at Endymion, ecstatic to 
see their prince actually *smiling* after all that 
had happened.  "Come on, we're celebrating!  A 
picnic to mark the return of our friend!"  Serenity 
blushed prettily, and giggled, hiding shyly behind 
her prince.

	"Whoa, you guys think of everything, ne?"  
Endymion asked with a blinding smile as they set 
off for the place where they'd had their first 
picnic with the youngling Water Sprite.  The others 
nodded cheerful affirmations as they marched along, 
and soon they arrived at the spot, gazing about in 
pleasure as the moonlight caressed each individual 
flower and blade of grass.  

	After they settled in, Lita began to take the 
food out from the basket.  "Hope you like it.... I 
made it myself."   Her smile was echoed on everyone 
else's.  They all knew no one could resist Lita's 
cooking.  Serenity blinked, suddenly realizing how 
much had been prepared in so little time.

	"Ahh... well, we weren't kissing that long were 
we?  I mean, all you guys coming here, Lita making 
a picnic...." Serenity faltered, blushing again, 
then stumbled to a halt.  Endymion chuckled.  The 
others all grinned.

	"Well, yeah.  But really, we planed this around 
a week ago to get Endy out of his blues."  Jedite 
reassured her.  Serenity nodded, her ears still a 
light pink.

	"Come on, let's dig in."  Nephlite

	"Hmm. I haven't eaten since, well... our last 
picnic."  Serenity commented as she leaned against 
Endymion.  She took a bite of her sandwich.  
"Starvation and me simply don't mix."  She giggled 
as she grabbed another sandwich.  Soon that one 
disappeared from her hand as she grabbed another 
one.

	"Wow..." Zoycite said, as he watched Serenity 
reaching for her fifth sandwich.  "Good think Lita 
made enough food for an army."

	Serenity turned dark red as Endymion kissed her 
cheek. "Go on and eat, I'll love you even if you do 
get fat."  Serenity bonked him on the head with her 
sandwich.  "I have you know that even if I do eat 
everything on this planet, I wouldn't gain a single 
pound."

	"How?"  Mina asked, eagerly leaning forward.  
Serenity smiled slowly and waggled her fingers in 
an exaggerated motion. "Magic."  The girl sat back, 
disappointed, but laughing.

	"Wow... is that all you can do?"  Jedite 
snickered, then paused, nervous, as a strange grin 
flickered across her face, and an evil twinkle 
began to shine in her eyes.  "No, I can do this."  
She snapped her fingers, laughing even before the 
move had been finished, and there was a flash of 
light as Jadeite disappeared, then reappeared, 
still dressed in a Guardian's uniform, still 
sitting in the same place, but with long blond hair 
now, a softer face, ill-fitting pants and boots... 
and very obvious female attributes.  Shocked gasps, 
then out-right laughter circled him, while he 
looked on confused, then glanced down at himself 
and nearly fainted.

	"WHAT?  Ahh... Serenity, change me back... 
please.... I won't ever make fun of you ever 
again!"  The laughter only increased, and by now 
tears were running down more than one face  "Hmm, 
when I get mad at you, all I have to do is ask Sere 
for revenge..." Raye said, snickering in delight.  
He... *she* glared at her, clearly offended, and 
opened his mouth to reply.  Before he could comment 
Serenity waved a hand, and the holographic illusion 
disappeared.  It wouldn't have done to turn Jadeite 
into a real girl.  That kind of magic took longer 
to do... and a lot longer to reverse.  She nearly 
burst out laughing at his expression if she told 
him he'd have to remain a girl the rest of his 
life, but managed to control herself in time.

	"How'd you do that?"  Jadeite sputtered, 
quickly patting him down, sighing in relief, and 
then shooting her a look full of daggers.  She just 
waggled her eyebrows at him and waved a hand again, 
which he instinctively ducked, flailing his arms to 
avoid any other spells she might feel inclined to 
cast.

	"Magic."

	He groaned.

	The continued mirth cut off abruptly as a 
tingling feeling began in the bases of both Raye, 
and Serenity's skills, and both jumped to their 
feet, all senses on alert.  "Can you feel that?"  

	"Evil."  Serenity replied, searching the ground 
around her for signs of threat while she felt her 
love stand behind her, guarding her back and flank 
against any sort of attack.  It came too quickly 
for him to track however, and she barely managed to 
teleport out of the way in time to avoid the 
slashing claws of Demons Spawn.  Evil, yes.  That 
much she could sense, but something else as 
well....

	She rematerialized not five feet away from her 
previous position.

	"Serenity..." The monster breathed out, it's 
eyes glowing with hatred.  "I came for what is 
mine... I came for Endymion."

	Serenity whispered one name that shook the 
others to the core.  "Beryl."

	~~~

	From the moon, Selene looked down at the earth.  
'Oh Serenity, it's the time for you battle for 
love.  Don't lose this battle like I have so long 
ago.'  She looked up towards the shimmering stars 
above.  Closing her eyes, she prayed for her child.  
"Zeus, my father, please watch over your 
granddaughter."  

	The star shimmered brightly in the dark vast 
sky.

	~~~

	"Beryl..." Serenity whispered.  "How... what?"  
The beautiful Sprite stared at the monstrous figure 
that looked like a snake.  Her eyes were blood shot 
and full of hate.  She couldn't believe how much 
she had changed.  'How...?' she wondered again, 
silently.  The dark energy around her was 
inevitable, as it seemed to blanket her thickly.  

	Her evil laughed began to rise from her throat 
as it made them all shudder.  "Serenity," she said 
out darkly as her eyes directed at her causing a 
chill to run though her.  "Did you think I would 
fall into this façade that you place in front of 
me?  Did you think I would know that Endymion would 
just not love me like that?  I remember, five years 
ago when I first saw him, it was destiny!!"

	She looked at Endymion, her eyes seemed to 
soften, "But then, you prance around.  Using your 
evil 'magic' and made him drift away from me!!  
It's your fault that he doesn't love me.  You and 
your spells.  It's your fault... *your* fault!!"  
With that anger traveled through her veins.  

	Endymion spoke up, trying to coax her, "Iie, it 
isn't her fault Beryl.  I was never in love with 
you.  Sorry if I miss led you, but I was always in 
love with Serenity.  She's *the one* that I have 
been waiting for.  She's the only one I'll *ever* 
love.  Onegai Beryl, understand that.  I always 
thought that you were one of those girls that just 
passed by."

	"Liar!!  Look what has happened to you!!  She 
poisoned your mind!!  Look what she is doing to 
you, making you say all these lies!!"  Her voice 
was frantic, as the tone of her voice changed.  It 
became soft more understanding as she said, "Don't 
worry though, I'll get rid of her.  I won't let her 
mess out future together.  I'll get ride of her for 
you... for *us*."

	Serenity couldn't help but feel bad for this.  
All this had happened because of her.  'Why did 
love have to be so hard and hurtful?'

	But she recalled what her mother had told her 
once, "There is always a hardship in a relationship 
that will show you how strong your love is.  At the 
end, if you are able to withstand this hardship, 
you will live happily ever after with the one you 
love.

	And now, today, this was her test.  This was 
destiny's way of showing how valuable and deep that 
her love for Endymion was.  She turned to look at 
Endymion, as his eyes looked deep into her, as she 
felt, in this moment of confusing and fear, content 
and happiness that at least he was with her.

	Beryl's voice then interrupted her thoughts 
with something she didn't think of yet, "My my, 
aren't there so many people here today."  Serenity 
looked around.  She was right.  There were a lot of 
people enjoying the first beautiful day since of 
the days of rain and wind.  Innocent people that 
could be get hurt of Beryl decided to attack.  She 
closed her eyes tightly, knowing that if anyone 
would get hurt, it would be her fault.  'I'm being 
so selfish...'

	In the deepness of her mind, a voice sooth her 
feeling, "Don't say that Sere, it's *my* fault.  I 
wasn't the one that lead her into thinking that I 
loved her.  I love you.'  Serenity was shocked, as 
she knew whom that was.  

	"How?"  She mouth, as he smiled at her.  She 
felt something inside of her, something deep and 
eternal.  She felt him.

	'It's something I posses.  One of my powers 
that I have for being the prince of Earth and it is 
also apart of the bond that is being built into the 
both of us.  Can you feel it love?  Our heart is 
being entwined together... together we will defeat 
this evil.'

	Beryl couldn't but help feel jealous as she 
looked at Serenity and Endymion.  Jealousy spitted 
out of her.  She felt the power increase in both of 
them as they radiated with love... love for each 
other!!  'Why doesn't he look at me that way?  Why 
does he smile like that to her, and kiss the way he 
does to her...?'  She convinced to herself that it 
was just because of the spell.  The spell she had 
cast upon her love.  

	Red energy surrounds her as it gathered up into 
her arms.  She then began to attack, as every one 
had left the scene already.  The generals and the 
girls had informed the people around the area to 
escape silently, which they did as they were 
commanded too.  

	A beam of light headed towards Serenity, as she 
ducked down as it headed off to a distance, fading 
away with the distance.  "Beryl, there is another 
way from this.  Don't do this.  We shouldn't 
fight..." Beryl laughed at her, as she headed 
towards her.

	"There is *no* other way."  With that, she 
swung her long tail around her as it began to 
squeeze her tightly.  Serenity squirmed from her 
position, as she found it harder to breath, her 
mind spun as a flash of red flew at Beryl, cutting 
her deep.  Beryl looked up, and was paralyzed in 
realization on who had just attacked her.

	"Endymion...?  Why...?"  Ger voice was broken, 
as she had let go of Serenity, who landed onto the 
ground softly, groaning.  She felt her body relax 
from it's previous tense self.  Endymion ran to 
her, taking her into his arms.  Endymion looked up 
at the jealous figure, his eyes darkening at her.

	"Beryl, I will never forgive you if you ever 
hurt her again.  I already told you why.  You are 
just too stubborn.  I love -Serenity-.  I will 
always love Serenity.  You can never change my mind 
about that.  Fate had brought us together, and I 
don't think that you, out of all people, will be 
the one that tears us apart."

	Hurt and betrayed, Beryl seemed to back away 
from him, as each word seemed to stab into her.  
Serenity looked at him, as she smiled softly at 
him, showing him that she was alright.  He held her 
tighter, not wanting to let her go.  He helped her 
up, as the two looked at her.

	"Beryl, I cannot let you stay here and run 
loose to bring pain to others."  Serenity said, as 
she raised her arms.  "Gomen, but this is for the 
best."  With that, she shot a silver beam at her, 
as Endymion lunged at her with his sword.

	Beryl fell.

	Endymion and Serenity looked at each other, 
their eyes meeting, as they were then surprise to 
hear laughter.  Beryl was still alive.  The 
darkness surrounding her had become more intense as 
Serenity felt a cold chill.  "What?"

	"Did you think that death for me could be that 
easy?  I'm so sorry dear Serenity," saying the 
sprite's name bitterly, "but I can't die just like 
that.  Don't you see?  Until the day I get 
Endymion, I will _never_ die."  The sky around them 
seemed to get darker because of the dark clouds 
that appeared above them.   The wind started to 
rustle the trees causing the leaves to hang barley 
onto the branches.  Serenity took a deep breath.  

	'What are we to do Endymion?'

	'We'll figure something out Serenity.'  He had 
said trying to relax her as he held out his arm to 
her.  "No matter what, I'll always love you."

	"And I to you."

	Beryl couldn't stand the sight in front of 
them, as she saw that the two were distracted.  
Gathering all her strength, she began straight 
towards Serenity, her claws stretched out to thrash 
at her.  Serenity was still entranced with him and 
her mind was still reeling as Endymion looked away 
from her for a moment to see Serenity.

	His mind screamed as Serenity looked at him in 
confusion, feeling his indifferences.  It was too 
late- everything was too late.  He felt his body 
freeze as something came to his mind.  There was 
only one way...

	One way...

	Her arm was raised into the air, preparing to 
swipe down at the Sprite.  Just before she was 
going to sweep down, Endymion had took her place as 
Serenity fell to the ground.  Endymion had taken 
her spot for death.  Beryl gasped as she looked at 
her hands.  Blood dripped from it and onto the 
ground.  The blood... it was his.  It was his 
blood.  A gasp escaped her lips.  "No... iie... 
Endymion...  I didn't mean too..."

	An agonizing cry escaped from Serenity's lips 
as she scampered to him.  She laid him onto her lap 
as his blood began to drip onto her silk dress.  
"Why Endymion?"  She asked, as a river of tears 
began to form as it ran down her face.  Rain began 
to fall as the cherry blossoms floated down onto 
the ground and the lake, covering it with a white 
and pink color.  

	Endymion looked at her, his mystical blue eyes 
was filled with love.  "Because I love you.  I love 
you.  I love you more than I ever that existed in 
my heart.  And I'll love you until time ends."  
Serenity began to cry some more, looking lake 
precious crystals.

	"Don't leave me."  She pleaded with him, as he 
shook his head.  "I'm sorry Serenity, so sorry... 
But I'll always love you..." With that he careless 
her face a bit and smiled at her.  His eyes began 
to drift off as tiredness came to him.  His arm 
began lifeless as he closed his eyes.

	A painful sob escaped her lips as she 
exclaimed, "Endymion!!!"

	From the distance, a group of girls cried in 
the arms of their love.  "Raye..." A blond said to 
the raven-haired girl.  "Onegai, don't cry... I'll 
always be here for you."  

	"You better," she said, behind her tears and 
crying.  Jedite smiled, trying to sooth the feeling 
of loss and hopelessness.  "You better count of 
it."

	Beryl's mind was going a mile a minute as the 
thought repeated in her mind.  "I killed him, I 
killed him..." She felt tears come to her eyes as 
she pushed them back.  'Iie, I am not going to cry.  
It's not my fault; it's Serenity's.  She poisoned 
his mind, she made him do that!!'  

	Anger filled her once again, replacing the 
feeling of remorse.  

	'Its all her fault...'

	'Not mine...'

	"It's all your fault!!" Beryl screeched out, as 
Serenity still embrace Endymion's lifeless body.  
She rocked the corps, tears still in her eyes.  
'She should just kill me now.'  She thought, 
knowing that without him she couldn't live.

	'Iie, no, keep fighting Serenity...'

	'Nani? Endymion?'  Her eyes widen in surprise.  
'How can this be?'

	'Our bond.  It's so strong that it keeps my 
soul from dying...'

	'Endymion!'  Her mind rejoices as tears of joy 
fell down her cheek.  

	'Come on, let's vanquish this evil.'  

	'But she can't die.  Our attempts before didn't 
work...'

	Beryl's voice then interrupted her moment to 
herself.  "Damn you Water Sprite, you are going to 
die for all the pain that you have caused!!"  With 
that, she began to lunge at her, as Serenity moved 
away, leaving Endymion's body on the ground.  

	"Beryl, I'm not going to let you do anymore 
damage."  She exclaimed, as she began to head 
towards the lake.  Beryl followed, mocking her.  
"You already tried that."  Beryl said with a laugh.  
"And failed miserably too if I have to say so 
myself."

	Silver light began to surround the two as they 
came to the middle of the lake.  The rain fell 
harder, bouncing off of the force filed that had 
surround them.  Serenity then concentrated as Beryl 
looked around shocked.  

	'I'm to weak to do this alone...'

	'Your never alone.'

	A gold light began to surround her, as it 
mingled with her silver aura.  Endymion's soul had 
merged with her, trying to help her defeat this 
evil.

	'Endymion...' 

	'I love you.'	

	With that, she opened her eyes and looked at 
Beryl, neither pity of ruthlessness was in her 
eyes.  "I, daughter of Selene, call upon the powers 
of the gods and the moons.  With this power, I will 
banish you into the core of this lake where you 
would stay until you find understanding or until 
Endymion or I call you forth from this lake."  With 
that, moonbeams began to surround her, as she 
screamed.  She began to be pulled into the heart of 
the lake, as Serenity watched her leave in sorrow.  
All this because of love.

	Serenity began to return back to land as she 
walked back to Endymion's body, and held it to her.  
Her heart yearned to feel him touch her, to speak 
to her other than in her mind.  Tears began to fall 
once again.  

	'I miss you.'  She said, as she embraces his 
body.  

	'I'm right here.'

	'It isn't the same.  I miss holding you close, 
kissing you.'  Something caught her eyes.  It 
seemed to glitter with the rain that clung onto it. 

	'Don't...' His voice pleaded, but he knew that 
she wasn't going to listen.  She picked up his 
sword that gleamed with so much comfort.  

	'Just one thrust and I can be with you...' With 
that she pre-pared to do so. "Good-bye my friends, 
mother..." She began to lunge the sword into her 
body as her friends protest against that.  

	The sword was then throne into the lake by a 
force as she was shocked.  She looked up to feel a 
powerful light in front of her, as a figure 
appeared.  The man had wild hair that reached down 
to his shoulders.  His eyes were full of wisdom and 
years, though he didn't seem that old.  He looked 
friendly as he smiled at her.

	"My granddaughter, I had spoken to Hades, and I 
know that it is not time for you to go.  You still 
have so many years in front of you."  Serenity 
looked at him in shock as the others stared.  "Gr-
grandfather?  Zeus?"  She questioned, as he nodded, 
as he stepped off from the cloud that he stood on 
and onto the ground before her.  She stood up from 
her place.

	"What...?"  He smiled at her; he placed his 
hand on her shoulder.  "Dear Serenity, it isn't 
your time.  And it isn't his time either."   With 
that, he raised his arm above Endymion, as glitter 
sprinkled down onto him.  Golden light surrounded 
the body as a soft groan escaped his lips.  He was 
alive.

	Joy filled her eyes as she embraced the king of 
gods, as he looked at her in surprise, and then 
content.  Soon they pulled away from each other as 
he told her, "Good-bye my granddaughter," with 
that, he left, on his cloud he rode away.

	Serenity then scampered to where Endymion was, 
as he began to sit up.  He looked at her, his eyes 
lingering onto her.  "Love, you sure know a lot of 
people."  She then hit him softly for that as he 
caught her wrist.  

	"I love you Serenity."

	"And I love you."

	They kissed as the rain began to stop revealing 
the beautiful starlit sky.  With that, they began 
to float into the air, waving good-bye to their 
friends.  Together, they were going to build a new 
life on the moon.

				"...and then you let go..."

	Epilogue

	You entered my life,
	Like a storm in a clear day,
	Catching me by surprise.

	Should I have known?
	That from the start,
	You were meant for me?

	I didn't understand,
	Why my heart beats fast,
	Whenever you entered the room.

	I wanted to believe,
	That I wasn't falling for you,
	But I already fell to deep.

	And I don't want to get up.

	~~~

	She looked around her; her home was in ruins!  
The fog of evil surrounded everything, as she 
searched about, calling out his name.  "Endymion!"  
She searched for the man she loved, the one that 
had given up his kingdom to be with her.  He 
refused to let her return to the moon by herself.  

	"Endymion!"  She cried out, as a faint voice 
called out to her.  "Serenity."  Her eyes widen, as 
she looked about.  Tears streamed down her face.   
This evil was so strong... it killed so many...

	She bit back a sob and continued to look for 
her love.  "Where are you Endymion?" She asked, as 
a figure from far away slowly limp towards her, she 
could feel the hot tears burn her skin.  

	"Endymion?  Are you alright?"  She questioned, 
as she ran to him, holding him in her arms.  He 
looked at her, caressing her hair with his hands.  
"I'm fine now that I know that you are safe."  She 
buried her head in his chest.  

	"The evil was so strong Endy, it's getting 
stronger!" Her voice was broken, as she could feel 
him slowly slip away from her.  He was... dying.  
"Don't leave me Endy.  I cannot live without you."

	He looked into her eyes, "Serenity, you cannot 
stop death.  The gods have spoken; I have faced the 
truth already.  I am just glad that I am in your 
arms in the last moment of my life."

	She held onto him, embracing him tighter.  "You 
cannot leave me my love.  I won't let you... 
please..."

	"I'm sorry Serenity, that is just something I 
cannot promise you."  His voice was faint, as he 
smiled at her.  "I am so happy that I found you.  
Many people search for their true love all their 
life, and rarely find that person.  I am content 
that I found you and was able to spend so many 
wonderful years with you."

	She nodded, kissing his lips softly.  "I love 
you." She told him, as he nodded.  "And I will 
always love you..."

	"Forever..." he said it softly, as his eyes 
slowly closed, as he was gone, leaving her mourning 
over him.  The evil around her had increased 
largely, as it was hard for her to breath.  

	"Who are you?"  She asked, as a figure stepped 
from the shadows, her dark hair falling down to the 
ground.  "I am Metallia.  I have notice your 
strength, your power for so long sprite.  Submit to 
me and I will make sure that you are the strongest 
being."

	Serenity laugh, "What if I disagree?"

	"There is no if."  The figure said, as Serenity 
grabbed Endymion's sword.  "I rather not, Metallia, 
I will not submit to beings like you."  With that 
she plunged the sword into herself, with a soft 
smile on her face.

	"Don't worry Endymion, you won't be alone for 
so long..." she fell down on top of Endymion, dead.  
Metallia's eyes looked at the two bodies that lied 
dead on the ground.  A gasp came from behind her, 
as she saw the moon goddess herself.  

	"Serenity!"  She cried out to her daughter, 
anguished and filled with so much pain.  "Your 
daughter killed herself, saying that she preferred 
death than submitting to evil."  Metallia told the 
moon goddess whom grieved over her daughter.  

	"I will destroy you," the moon goddess said 
determined, as she raised her hand up in the air, 
wielding energy.  Her eyes flashed with fire as she 
sent a beam of energy toward Metallia.  Metallia 
screamed out in pain, as she disappeared.  The 
great fog of evil disappeared as her love dropped 
dead.  Selene looked up at the sky, tears streaming 
down her face.  "Oh Zeus, my father, please let 
them all live again.  Save your granddaughter... 
Let them all live in happiness..."

	A light then surrounded the kingdom, as 
everyone disappeared, leaving the moon goddess 
alone in the ruins of the kingdom in tears.

The end

	I got so many e-mails on this story.  ::sniff 
sniff:: it was so wonderful!!  Thank you to all 
those people who wrote me even though it took me 
FOREVER to get this next part out.  It's you guys 
that urged me to write this part sooner.  Thanks!!  
Also, just cause it's over doesn't mean you can't 
send us (mostly me of course) more emails!!  I 
would love it if you would cause it would encorage 
me to possibly come out with a sequel to this 
story, which Jade was talking to me about, though I 
probably won't write it with Jade cause she's been 
very busy since August.  Anyhow, visit my web 
page!!
