	They emerged at the bottom of Zion Hill, and at the top they
would find the power they needed to stop The Darkness.
	"Why couldn't you have transported us to the top Elios?"
Jedeite complained as they started to climb. 
	"Sorry, my aim was a little off." Elios sighed. About twenty
minutes later they reached the top and Serenity turned around and
gasped. The Darkness was right on their tails, the foreboding bubble
flashing with lightening. 
	"Wow, we're so high up." She breathed as the wind tossled her
slightly messed hair. 
	"Common, the chamber is in here!" Elios motioned, disappearing
into a small passageway. They entered the room and found a small pool 
in the middle, the room being cut out in a circle. To their left was 
a small platform with four pillars. In each pillar a indent was made,
one of a triangle, another a circle, a diamond and the last a square.
	Avanla went through her bag and pulled out each stone, placing
them in their designated places. She walked back and they stood there
for awhile, just watching the stones. Kunzite shook his head, mumbling
something about forgetting to tell his mother that he loved her. 
	"We're doomed." Avanla sighed, sulking down to the floor. She
put her head in her hands and shook her head. "I can't believe this!
All that hard work we went through...and we can't even do anything
without the Keeper." Suddenly a force rocked the moutain and they 
all lost their balance. Everyone raced outside to see The Darkness
had grown much larger and was at the foot of the mountain. 
	"We are definetly doomed." Zoisite agreed, shaking his head.
Serenity bowed her head and walked back into the cave, no one 
noticing she was gone, everyone besides Kunzite. She walked infront
of the pillars and stared at them. Kunzite came from behind her and
even though she knew he was there did not acknowledge his prescense.
	"It's sad isn't it? We've built a perfect world around us, and
now it's coming crashing down. All our work, everything King Terran
worked for...how my young prince will never get to rule...how you'll
never really get to live." She turned around at this and faced his
brilliant clear, blue eyes.
	"What do you mean by that general?" She asked. He smiled at
her and walked to her side.
	"I know of you princess, and how your mother has locked you up
in that tower all your life, sheltering you from the harsh world around
you. I can understand why she has, considering you are the heiress to 
this solar system and the most powerful crystal in the universe. But a
child should never be robbed of her youth." Kunzite answered and 
Serenity bowed her head and closed her eyes, the circular walls of the
tower burrowing into her mind. "I'm sorry you'll never live." She 
looked up at him and smiled, then gave him a quick hug.
	"I think you're my favorite gerenal, Kunzite." She said and
he smiled. Serenity sighed and walked up to the stones, going down the
row and brushing her hand over each one. "Just because we're missing 
on peice of a puzzle...."
	Suddenly the stones began to burn bright in their natural
colors, lights of blue, red, green and yellow filling the room and 
going out the small entrance. The group turned around and stared at
the lights before Endymion rushed in, followed by everyone else.
	"What happened?" Elios asked.
	"I don't know!" Serenity shook her head. "I just touched the
stones and they started to glow!" Suddenly the lights erupted, lighting
each column their designated color. The tops opened up and fire came
from the first one. It melted away to reveal a woman, her arms crossed
over her chest, her head down. Her hair was red and moved on its own
like the flame on a fire. Her skin was as pale as the moon, and a 
light red dress clung to her form. She lifted her head up and opened
her eyes. They glowed red, fire coming from them like waves on the
sea. 
	They next pillar shot water from its top and fell, to reveal
another woman. Her hands cupped her pale face, her long blue dress
flowing behind her, mixing with the waves of her long blue hair. It
flowed down her body like a river, small coral objects floating in it.
Her eyes were the same as the first, but shinned with a blue light.
	A pink flower sprouted from the third and the petals fell
away to reveal another woman, her creamy arms extended above her head.
Her green hair cascaded down her body, small flowers and butterflies
strewn through it. Her green dress was made of a mid drift and a long
skirt. She turned to them, her green eyes opening, sending a flash
through the room. 
	The top of the next one exploded into a thunderous wind, 
traveling up to form a tornado. It faded back into the pillar to 
reveal a shinning woman with wind swept golden hair flying about her
head. Her hands were outstretched like she ways flying and in a way
she was. Her feet were inches from the pillar's top, her golden dress
falling behind her. Her golden, flamming eyes looked upon Endymion
with intrigue. They all floated down to the pillars and let their
lights dim around them. They stood in all their glory, shinning upon 
the stunned people. Elios turned around and smiled at Serenity.
	"You are her, the Keeper of Life." He said and her eyes 
widened, as did everyone else's. 
	"We are the Elements." They said in unison.
	"Of fire."
	"Water."
	"Earth."
	"And Wind." The golden one finished, and looked to Serenity.
"And you are our the fifth. In order to save this world, we will need
your help, and your gift." They all looked up and their powers egnited
again and shot up into the ceiling, disintegrating the mountain above
them so they stood on the top of the moutain, looking at The Darkness
that had surrounded Zion Hill. It moved and reared up into the sky,
moaning angrily at the group. Suddenly it shot a bolt of lightening
at the group, hitting the ground next to Serenity. She was knocked
unconscious by the bolt and the earth gave way, sending her off the
edge.
	"SERENITY!" Endymion screamed as he watched her plumiting
to her doom. He watched in horror, pulling at his hair. Suddenly an 
urge to dive after filled him and being a man to follow his instincts, 
did that very thing.
	"ENDYMION!!!" Avanla screamed, shocked. Endymion nose dived
down to her and shut his eyes tightly, praying softly. Suddenly
the back of his shirt ripped and bright ten foot long golden wings 
sprouted from his back. He opened his eyes and looked at his wings
before smiling, pushing himself closer to Serenity. He flew down to
her and grabbed onto her waist, pulling on the brakes. 
	"Oh my..." Avanla breathed, staring at his wings.
	"What a bounty you could get for those..." Jedeite said and
Avanla elbowed him. "Ouch."
	"I forgot that he was part Lunarian." Kunzite said, shaking his
head. A sudden wind picked up as Endymion lifted himself up from the
edge, his mighty wings flapping. In his arms he craddled an unconscious
Serenity. The Darkness built up around them and the Elements formed a 
circle and Endymion walked in the center, placing Sernenity down to the
ground. He touched her face and gently shook her.
	"Serenity, Serenity please wake up." He begged. Her eyes slowly
opened and she moaned, shaking her head.  He helped her stand up and 
looked around to see that the Elements had their hands outstretched to
Serenity, their powers engulfing them. "Serenity, I need you to work 
your magic now." 
	The Darkness swirled around them angrily, building up. A face
lifted from The Darkness, consisting of a mouth, and haunting red eyes.
	"Fire!"
	"Water!"
	"Earth!" 
	"Wind!" Serenity lifted her hands up into the air, never
taking her gaze off of Endymion. Her crescent moon began to glow
brightly, a small smile came to her lips. She exploded in a silver
burning light. The Elements shot their power towards her and she screamed
in pain but was soon silence, as Endymion pressed his lips onto hers.
His arms snaked up hers and joined them in the air. Their wings sprouted
from their backs and wrapped around each other, silver, red, blue, green
and yellow lights swirling around them. The Elements continued to 
feed her energy and the whirlwind of power exploded, reaching up into
The Darkness. It moaned, retaliating.  
	"We must help them!" Avanla shouted, throwing her power into
the stream of power. The others reached out their hands, their own 
powers melting into the Element's. Endymion began to glow gold and 
his power joined with the others. Orinda appeared behind them, a 
legion of Phoenixes behind her. She shot red light into the power and
the Phoenixes attacked The Darkness. Down from below the Amazons shot 
their fiery orange arrows. The power grew larger and larger and 
Serenity broke away from Endymion and smile sadly, then looked up into
the sky at The Darkness. Her crescent moon burned even more brightly,
causing Endymion to look away.
	"Goodbye Endymion, my love.." He heard her whisper.
	"Serenity?" He asked unsure. But she didn't answer, only 
shouted,
	"LIFE!" A blinding silver light shot up and around them and
Endymion blacked out, but not before hearing the anguished scream
of The Darkness..and the one of his lover.

It's done! I hope you enjoyed this--no I'm just joking! hehe, seeing
if you were awake! Sorry, I'll go away now!

	Endymion moaned, opening his eyes slowly then blinked.
And blinked again. His brows narrowed as he sat up straight from his
sideways laying posistion. He looked around his surroundings with 
confusion. Now you might be thinking, what could be more confusing
than being in the land of Elysian?
	Try NOT being in the land of Elysian anymore.
	"What is going on?" Endymion asked no one in particular as
he got off the park bench. He walked around in Central Park and
looked up the sky to see it was its normal blue color. He dropped his
eyes to the small lake and then up to the hill were The Castle was 
located. A determined look crossed his face as his sprinted in that
direction. 
	He came up to the entrance and stopped to catch his breath
for a moment before continuing on. He ran through the hallways and came
upon the huge golden doors. He wrenched them open and ran up to the
mirror, effectively running into its hard surface and bouncing back
to the ground. He swore and grabbed his head.
	"OUCH!" He stumbled back up and ran his hands over the smooth
surface, his brow creasing once again. "What's going on? ELIOS! 
AVANLA!....SERENITY!?" He pounded against the glass frustrated, tears
threatening to come to his eyes. What happened to them? What happened
to Elysian? And why the heck was he back here?! What had happened
to..to Serenity?
	Ten minutes later he emerged from The Castle, stumbling 
slightly. He fell to the ground and sat crosslegged, rubbing his 
eyes with the palms of his hands. He moaned, shaking his head.
	Suddenly a hand came down on his shoulders and he looked up.
The sun cast a shadow on the female form but the eyes shined pure
and true; beautiful blue and sparkling with life. 
	"..Sere..Serenity?" He asked, confused. She smiled down at him,
her smiling breaking through the shadow. 
	"Hello Endymion." Endymion broke into a smile and raced up, 
taking her into his arms.
	"Serenity!" He shouted relieved, picking her up and twirling
around once. She laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I thought
you were dead! What happened, what's going on?"
	"Well, we sucessfully defeated The Darkness and Elysian and
the Earth joined back together again. You were sent here to make a 
choice. You can either stay here and live your normal life, forgetting
about all that's happened. Or you can come back to Elysian and assume 
your rightful place as king of Elysian and the Earth. So what's your 
choice going to be?" 
	Serenity stepped back and bit her lip nervously. Endymion 
smiled at her, wrapping his arms around her slim waist. He kissed her
sweetly, getting a giggle from her. She wrapped her arms around his 
neck again and kissed him, their passion unwinding. They broke and 
she smiled. 
	"So I guess that means you choose the latter?" She said and
he laughed. 
	"You got it sweetheart. I could never go back to the live I 
had, knowing I'd leave everything wonderful behind...and leave you behind.
My soulmate." He smiled, kissing her again. Their wings sprouted from
their backs and up into the sky they went, soaring past the clouds. They
broke away and smiled at each other, Endymion running his hand down her
smooth cheek.
	"Let's go home Endy." She said finally and he nodded.
	"Home. Yes, let's go home." He said and they kissed, disappearing
in a flash of gold and silver, back to their land of fulfilled dreams...
