Yu-gi-oh Serena Novels & Stories

“Victor’s former war captain. Thought dead after the Romano purge.” Mara’s voice was grim. “He’s alive. And he’s not hiding anymore.” Serena didn’t hesitate. “Then neither will I.” --- The sky was streaked with crimson and gray, the colors of war. Serena walked through the villa’s halls fully dressed in armor—sleek black leather that moved like second skin. Twin pistols were strapped to her thighs, her mother’s dagger riding at her hip. No crown. No veil. No silk. Only fire.

He earned a glare from Serena, who was quick to refute coquettishly, "Titus the Wise is a man, whereas I'm a woman!" "Then you shall be Tifa the Wise," Cassian remarked with a chuckle. "Serena, why don't you join the Draconian Order as my strategist?" "No way," Serena replied. "I'm not interested in being a strategist."

She pulled out a folded envelope and thrust it at Serena, clumsily, like it was on fire. Serena took it. Inside: a crayon drawing. Shaky lines. A red carpet. Stick figures with stars over their heads. “I wanted to give it to Miss Sera,” the girl whispered. “But she’s busy. And I thought… maybe you’d like it too.” Something cracked in Serena’s chest. She looked back at the picture. The tallest figure had long hair and a black dress. There was a name written beneath it, in all caps: SEREANA.

I am only able to acknowledge her with a weak smile, as I am in no mood for small talk. “I’m Athea by the way ”, she whispers again, but this time she pokes my side with an elbow. “Serena”, I reply, mentally wincing from the pain. Her eyes widen in shock and she scoots closer to me. “The Luna Serena or another Serena?”, she whispers. I have no idea how to reply, so I just give her a nod. The journey blurs together, but by the time we reach the Nythera stronghold, I am certain of one thing, I would rather die than live as a slave.

AWW! Serena immediately froze in place.

I’d gotten used to being invisible long before Serena came to live with us when we were ten. Serena was half succubus and half siren. She had amazing blue eyes that sparkled with purple streaks bursting from her pupil and, tonight, was wearing her glossy, dark chocolate brown hair in a braid down her back. It was easy to see she wasn’t exactly into the idea of going to this bar.

Maya warned, smiling sickly at her. " Are you threatening me right now? " Serena asked, scoffing in the process and Maya shook her head. " I'm just telling you to hold your position tightly since I can take it from you, especially since I'm carrying Luna's mark of Bloodfang Pack, " she revealed and Serena's eyes widened in surprise.

Not hiding, not shaking, not faking bravery. Serena never fakes. She was wearing riding leathers. Her hair was pinned tight. Her hands were out where I could see them. She did not have a sword. That’s okay. Serena never needed a blade to kill you. For a second, we just looked at each other, measured and weighed each other. Serena was prettier than I remembered. She was not soft. She was not kind. She was just polished, like glass. There were no cracks. Her stance was perfect.

Take her measure, her strength, her heart, her worth. And if she is all that he hates—and all that he wants—I'll figure out where I stand. With him. Or against him. For even broken, I am not weak. I am Serenia. Child of Lilith. Born of fire and darkness. And I am done being anyone's pawn. He'd certainly learn this the hard way but first I must see for myself what their obsession is with this woman and what makes her so different.

“What I have with Jenna… it’s real. Stronger than you’ll ever understand.” Serena’s smile faltered, a flash of rage breaking through her mask. But then her gaze shifted past Brock—and landed on Jenna, who had just stepped into the hallway. Jenna froze at the sight of Serena leaning so close to Brock. Her chest tightened, doubt clawing at her ribs. She tried to mask it, but Serena caught the flicker of hurt in her eyes, and victory glittered in her smile. “Well,” Serena said smoothly, straightening, her voice sweet like poison. “I suppose I’ll have to see this Luna of yours up close. I look forward to… getting to know her.”
