“I’ll find you again, someday.”
“No. No! Princess? No, you can’t die!”
Sailor Eris smiled but didn’t stop bleeding on the steps of her palace. “It worked. The Dark Kingdom has become a pocket dimension anchored to one point on Earth and that Earthling, Chrys…” She coughed blood. “That Earthling is the Priestess of the Dark. The Solar System will only have to face threats in this plane, not others. As though there isn’t a Sailor War and stray demons out there. But Earth will live, I’m sure, even after Eris dies.”
“Stop talking. The healing spells aren’t taking,” he growled in frustration.
“Even if you were a master healer it wouldn’t work. You saw what wounded me, Hachi.”
“You can heal it.”
“I’m no longer Priestess. I can’t command the Dark.
“Princess.”
“Hachi, listen. You’re my oldest friend, my best friend. I love you. You’ll be a great sorcerer in the dark between stars. Stay out of the Sailor War. We’re Erisians; we have greater concerns. Leave as soon as I die. Eris will die with me. Save anyone still alive when you go. The atmosphere will fail.”
“I’m not leaving you,” the young man choked between tears.
“I’m leaving you. But I’ll come back, I promise. Part of me is bound up with the Dark Kingdom as it was with Eris. That Earthling is really something; she’s an Avatar as well as a Priestess. You’ll be able to feel her across the galaxy. And if it takes a year, two years, ten years,” she said in her own planet’s timescale, “someday things will change and she’ll be able to pass on the title of Priestess. When that happens I’ll return; I’ll be reborn. I’m still Sailor Eris, of blood and chaos both good and evil, and that means life as such as Sailor Pluto’s order is also death.”
“How will I find you again?”
“You’ll be powerful and wise by then. Nah, you’re just Hachi.” The princess’s voice was quieter and bubbling with blood in her lungs. “I’d say look for the girl with the chakrams, but I don’t know how much alike I’ll be. The girl who likes fighting as much as you, at least?” She grinned with blood staining her teeth. “And I figure I’ll still be Sailor Eris. The sailor seed is part of the soul, right?”
“Princess…”
“Love you, Hachi.”
“Princess? Princess! Enyo!”
