February, 2005, (more than five years since Sailor Mercury: Beryl's Curse!)

    Well, here is the revised version of Runes of Druid which was result of several important ideas that came to me rather late and some feedback given to me by the honest readers. ^_^ I knew that the 1st version didn't go right and I wasn't happy with it (remember what I said about how I was hurt by a certain greedy Christain banker). Then I happen to came up the ideas of "Earth Power" and "Starseed" which inspired me to revise the chapter. Now I felt much better with the revised version. ^_^ You can can tell which pages that had been revised by observing the eyes of the characters. The eyes of the characters in the original pages are colored, but not in the revised pages. Some people prefer this way, so why not?. ^_^;
    Everything from after Hotaru's Demonstration to just before the ending (Minako & Artemis) had been overhauled and few minor changes had been made to other pages as well as some additions of very few pages.
   I decided not to post the old version for several reasons:
        -I'm not happy with the old version so why would I post something that I'm not happy with?
       -Lastly, I lost some pages of the old version when I accidentally saved some new pages over some old pages, and that's how I lost the bonus Blooper comic.

      I sometimes use the real photos for the backgrounds to make everything easier and save time, and where they're obtained from will be noted directly on the photos themselves.
    I wish to thank those people for helping with the 1st Version of this chapter:  Meagan S., Alice W.,& K.H., and Revised Version: K.H. , Lydia G. & Cat (her website) and anyone else who helped with the script as well the kind readers who were willing to provide the real feedbacks on the 1st version. ^_^
