Title: The Dawn Rose
Writer: JadesRose
Summary: “My first SM story For many years, One has Watched the universe. Watching, Learning, and waiting. The time soon comes when the Watching is over and the action must begin! OC, Slight yaoi Silly summary, but a GREAT story! PLEASE READ!”
Canon: Translated manga, dubbed anime mix
Rating: 2
Name: Princess Yoake AKA Aurora or “Rory” AKA The Watcher
Senshi Title: Guardian Eos (The scout of Earth, though she’s not officially a scout and can only fight when one of her charges is in danger.)
Hair: Red, up in a bun with 3 long braids hanging from it
Eyes: Deep blue, calm blue, midnight blue, same color as Darien’s
Unusual Markings/Colorations: None
Senshi Outfit: “Her uniform had a lilac skirt and a pale pink bow. Her gold neck ribbon held an amber pendant in the shape of the sun. There was another piece of amber in her tiara.”
Possessions: A staff (“A pale ivory staff topped with a golden sun. Within the sun was a silver crescent moon, points up, and between the points of the moon was a sapphire blue teardrop.”) and some pink roses.
Guardians: None
Origin: The Princess of Earth who acted as the messenger, official liaison, and ambassador of the royal house between Earth and the moon.
Connections to Canon: Queen Serenity’s messenger who was charged with watching over the scouts at the end of the Silver Millennium and Prince Endymion’s older sister, who watched over him until Helios finished his training. Princess Serenity was also one of her charges. It is mentioned in passing that she healed Fiore and sent him to live with Alan and Ann, who had settled down with the resurrected Doom Tree. Helios is her true love. He supposedly forgot her, but immediately remembers her when she goes to confront him about it.
Senshi Moves: Aurora’s Borealis: “The pink rose shimmered and exploded in a fantastic display of dancing light, creating another shield similar to Saturn’s, expect that upon impact, Eos’s shield wrapped around the sphere and absorbed the power, then dissipated it.”
Other Special Abilities: She can use her powers to prevent the generals from being brainwashed again.
Annoying Traits: Another scout who has to help kick the ass of an enemy because the girls can’t do it on their own, at least, at the beginning of the story.
Comments: So we have a OC named after the Greek goddess of the dawn, with a sun senshi’s outfit, who is a princess of Earth, but has a blue moon symbol on her forehead. Hmm…
This is not a bad story, (Yoake pretty much disappears later on) but there are a lot of unnecessary author’s notes, translations, and pauses (for bathroom breaks, snack breaks, or when the author goes to work) in the chapters, and the author likes to complain about how she needs a lot of reviews. Then there’s this:
I’m stopping here ... *SPLAT!* A tomato? Somebody threw a tom ... Hey! How’d you get in here? You’re not supposed to be here! Get back to CCS-lover-Princess’s story before she comes in here and sues me for stealing her characters!! Or worse, says I can keep you. OUT!! And be careful with those bloody tomatoes!! *mutter, mutter*
There’s also a lot of clothing descriptions. All of the girls change their clothes for pretty much every single scene. It’s kind of amusing.
Samples:
Moving back to the entrance, they found her looking fondly at the roses surrounding the temple. Helios stepped forward.
“I thank you, warrior, for saving our Prince and Princess. But you are unfamiliar to me. Who are you?”
The stranger smiled but did not answer in words. Instead she reached out a hand and summoned a staff of her own. A pale ivory staff topped with a golden sun. Within the sun was a silver crescent moon, points up, and between the points of the moon was a sapphire blue teardrop. The stranger was now dressed similar to the Menards in a flowing gown that shimmered a pale blue. Her hair remained the same, but was now decorated with silver and blue ribbons. I velvet blue ribbon was around her throat, the amber sun hanging from it. A symbol shone on her forehead ... a blue crescent moon, points up.
“Yoake,” gasped Helios.
Yoake looked to Helios with a faint smile. “Helios. It’s been a very long time.” She looked around at the other faces that surrounded her. “Such a long time.” Her eyes stopped as they met Darien’s.
“Yoake.”
Yoake turned to look at Sailor Pluto. There would be questions from the Time Guardian, she knew. Pluto rarely looked to the Past unless something endangered the Future. But she never looked back to the old Kingdom. Yes, there would be questions.
Pluto cleared her throat. “Yoake, you’ve changed from how I remember you last.” Pluto stopped, not sure how to continue. Saturn stepped forward.
“Where have you been?” she asked quietly.
Everyone gaped confusedly at Saturn. Pluto looked at her.
“What do you mean, Saturn? Yoake has obviously been reborn along with the rest of us.” But Saturn was shaking her head, not taking her eyes off Yoake.
“No ... she wasn’t reborn.”
“WHAT?!” Several voices exclaimed ... and chaos ensued as each scout demanded an explanation. Only four were silent as the others nagged Saturn. Pluto, Helios, Darien and Sailor Moon.
“I remember you,” said Sailor Moon quietly and a soft flash transformed her into Princess Serenity. The other Senshi fell quiet as the Princess stepped forward.
Yoake fell to one knee, her head bowed and staff lowered.
“You were Mother’s Messenger. The intermediate between the Moon and the Earth. Mother trusted you with my care when she had a meeting that went long into the night. You were ...” Serenity tilted her head in thought, “of Earth. The only Earthling to be given such a high position of trust among the Court. But you were not a Sailor Scout.” Serenity offered her hand to Yoake, who placed her own inside of it. She raised her head, but did not rise.
“I was among the Court, my Princess, but I was not a part of it. I was the chosen Messenger to go between the Earth and the Moon, as you remember. I was chosen by my family to be so and the Queen was favourable of the choice. I was an excellent diplomat. I had a way of finding truth and maintaining good feeling between the parties. It was part of my heritage to do so.”
Serenity nodded and pulled on Yoake’s hand, getting her to rise. “And yet, I remember there was something more about you. Something important.” She gazed at the Watcher thoughtfully and sighed. Her memories were so fuzzy.
-------------------------------------------------
The girls soon stepped out again, startling him out of his thoughts. Raye was wearing her usual temple robes and Serena was wearing a black dress with little bitty white hearts all over it. It had a sweetheart necklines, flowing short sleeves and a flare skirt. She didn’t often wear black, but Darien thought she looked beautiful as usual. He looked to Yoake. She looked absolutely lovely in a dark green sun dress with spaghetti straps that tied at the shoulder. It had gold embroidery across the bust and at the hem. The green went well with her red hair although she looked a tad pale in it.
Darien looked to Raye. “Isn’t that the dress Lita made for your Autumn Festival performance?”
Raye nodded, a pleased smile on her face. “Yes, but that’s still a month away so I have plenty of time to find something else. Perhaps Lita will make me another ... in my colours this time.” She winked and waved as she walked away. “I have to get me chores done. See ya tomorrow!”
“Well,” Darien sighed, “I guess we should grab something to eat and head back to my place.”
“Wait, Darien.” Serena placed a hand on Darien’s arm. “We need to come up with something to tell people first.” She looked at Yoake. “I don’t think calling you Yoake is a good idea. We don’t want to draw attention to you anymore than necessary and most bad guys have long memories.” Darien nodded, proud of Serena for suggesting this. She sure has come along way from the Sailor Moon who fought her first monster in Molly’s mother’s jewellery store.
The redhead tilted her head in thought. “My name translates into Dawn ... and I am Darien’s sister. You can say that I finally tracked him down and came by to visit in hopes that he really was my brother.”
Serena smiled. “Anybody who saw your eyes would know you to be related, Yoake. And I like the double ‘D’(A/N: Dawn & Darien) idea, but I think we should take it a step further and avoid a direct translation.”
“How about Aurora?” offered Darien.
Serena’s eyes lit up and she clapped her hands. “Oh, I like that! We’ll call you Rory for short! I‘ll call Mina tonight so that she can pass it on to Luna and Artemis.”
---------------------------------------------------
“Is that a box from Trista? Ooh, she makes such fabulous creations. Please open the box before we go.” She looked at Rory with clasped hands and pleading eyes.
“I thought supper was almost ready.”
“It shouldn’t take long to see the clothes. And besides,” Serena blushed and her voice lowered to a confiding whisper, “I’ll die of curiosity if you make me wait.”
Rory chuckled and winked. “Me too.” She opened the box again and pushed aside the tissue as Serena came around beside her.
“Oh ...” gasped Serena. “Such wonderful fabrics.”
Pulling them out, one by one, Rory placed them on the bed. There was a crew neck white T-shirt with tan shorts. The legs of the shorts could be rolled up or left longer. The belt clasp had a small sun charm hanging from it. A rough silk flare skirt with an inner slip came out next. It was an olive colour and had a matching tank top with broad shoulder straps. It had a black pattern of small, simple stars all over it. (A/N: Picture a dot with four small lines coming from it.) Black capris, brown slacks, a cream coloured cardigan, and various styles of shirts in green, purple, grey, pink, black, white, and brown. At the bottom of the box, was a note stating that an evening gown would follow later but needed more time. It was signed with a little heart beside Trista’s name.
“Oh, Rory, these are beautiful. You are very lucky,” Serena sighed. “Let’s put them away quickly before Darien wonders what’s taking so long.”
-------------------------------------------------------
She left her link open with her ward ever since the Queen had contacted her. The wave of emotions that washed over her physically rocked her, even at the distance she was at. Worry, fear, regret, shock, pain, and sadness. Overwhelming sadness. Then nothing.
Princess Yoake, Guardian Eos, fell to her knees and sobbed. Her arms wrapped around herself, tilted her tear-streaked face up to the stars and wailed. Under orders she might have been, but that didn’t help her sense of loss. Her sense of failure. Little Princess Serenity was gone. Her little brother was gone. She’d lost the link with her lover when her brother had died, dealing a double blow to her senses. She wasn’t even allowed to return home to grieve with her parents. She couldn’t even tell them she was alive. Her family, her friends - everything she cared about - all gone. She was alone!
Her scream shook the Heavens and the planets trembled. Eos collapsed and continued to sob her grief. Gentle arms gathered her up and held her close. Eos looked up to see Ceres, tears falling from her own eyes, holding her close. three more sets of arms soon followed. Juno, Vesta, Pallas. Eos trembled. She was not alone.
The girls held her for a bit and then took her to Apollo. The Sun Monarch grieved with her over the loss of the Silver Millennium and appointed the four asteroid senshi to be her meiyo no gadoman (honour guard - and I hope I got it right) until the time came for them to be reborn.
And so the waiting game began. She trained, studied and Watched. She saw Endymion be reborn and silently rejoiced. Then the Millennium Senshi and Serenity were all reborn. She sat and patiently waited for the time when she could return to them. The waiting wasn’t so lonely anymore, but it was a little more difficult. She wanted to much to step in at times. Especially when her brother’s new family died. All she could do then was send him a whisper of his name. A feeling. His name was Darien Chiba, but his nature was mamoru. (protector). At least it was until he met a certain bunny blonde.
Eos continued to Watch. She watched them die and be reborn, only to die again and she feared each time that she had lost them for good. After the last time, when each was killed until only Eternal Sailor Moon, the new found Sailor Starlights, and a curious little girl named Chibi Chibi remained, she almost died.
‘Never again,’ she decided. ‘I will no longer sit and Watch. If anything comes and disrupts them again, I’m going to help!’
