Megrez remembered her strange dreams, the ones that took place in that stone chamber. In the first, she had slaughtered a horde of senshi by tearing them apart, then turned into a monster. In the second, she teamed up with her past self to destroy multitudes of the monster she had turned into in the first one, culminating in destroying a massive final beast with what could only be considered a beam powered by love. All through both, a voice was in her head, encouraging her and guiding her through both bouts of destruction.
Dream logic was a strange thing.
When she had rolled over after her second dream, she felt something sharp poke her. Checking it out revealed a small golden shard that she felt fairly certain was not from anything in her room, much less her bed. She had pocketed the shard and started sneaking it with her on patrols, checking to see if the few people she encountered could identify it. Maybe tonight she would finally find an answer. She walked down a sidewalk that lined a street that was typically empty this time of night, holding the shard out and thinking about what it could possibly belong to.
