I decided to revise this story because I've had many comments
in regard to it and I want to say domo arigatou. Also, my
writing style has improved considering this was done some time
ago. Standard disclaimer applies.
When A Dream Becomes More
Chapter 1 in The Death of the Void

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi was lost in shaded dreams. A thick white fog drifted in and
crept over her, bringing shadows and dark secrets. It left as
suddenly as it came in and in it's wake a gilded mirror reflected
Usagi's deep eyes. Pluto's Mirror, a little known object that shows truth.
Usagi used the knowledge of Serenity and murmured the incantation.
Let there be truth in light,
A mirror in which shadows begone,
Shaded lies these eyes may hide,
Yet the truth be told,
>From skies and magicks of long begotten old
The result was a deepening of her reflection and the fade in of an
image. She saw tears, running down faces of ones she knew. And the
blood.Kami, so much blood, the death of too many lives because
of a woman.Her.Grief stricken forms gathered around a still body.
Death...Two figures on a bed of satin in a dark room.
The scene suddenly changed to the couple watching lovingly over a little
boy and girl. The little girl ran up to her mother and showed off her latest
discovery.
Serenity.Seiya.
The second generation.
Then she understood.
Usagi looked closer, hoping it was not so. The boy had long, jet-black
hair tied back into a loose ponytail. His eyes were a storms set upon the
deep sea. The girl had pure silver hair and eyes that spoke of a gentle
wind blowing across grassy fields. The two looked to be twins.
"Why?" Usa almost sobbed. She focused on the couple and saw the
features of the woman, eyes that spoke of wisdom and sadness, age.
"Why, damn you?! WHY?!" She sunk to the ground, unable to look away.
The family with the eight pointed stars.
The mirror traveled to another point in time and showed a increasingly
vauge image. Usagi could make out a female body adorned with a flowing
dress and a sword.
"Focus you Kami forsaken mirror!" she hoarsely whispered. She asked and
now would be answered. But she couldn't see. The dream was leaving her!
She grabbed hold but couldn't hang on.
Then for a split second, she saw the image.
The death.Usagi's death.
TBC...
