Summoned upon by the High Court, ruled by Queen Serenity, there gathered four guardians from the inner holds of the solar system.

Mercury, logical and calm. Senshi of wisdom, bearing from the land known for it's technological advancement. Short blue hair cupping her cheekbones, her aqua-coloured eyes wander warily over their company; hands fiddling beneath the warm white coat.

Venus, flirtatious and eye-catching, stands by the reflective pools to admire her golden hair and swaying gown; hues of yellow and gold and auburn. Bearing from the planet of beauty and love, she reflects those sentiments with azure eyes alone, though they currently focus solely on her rippling reflection.

Mars, arms firmly crosses over a blouse of burgundy silk and amaranthine hair curling around hips clad in leather pants; two careful braids falling from the right side of her scalp. Hailing from the planet of passion and war; yet despite exuding a sense of violent skill her heart seems to lack compassion or love.

Jupiter, rooted by the window and sweeping jade eyes across the palace gardens, seemingly at rest for once. With the window ajar the forest green fabric bunched around her waist flows in waves along her legs; dancing to the gentle winds. Bearing from the planet of storms she presents a profound love for gentle nature, yet those eyes hint at a much stronger nature residing within her.

Finally, nearing an hour after they were escorted into the sparsely furnished room, footsteps echoe closer in the previously silent hallway. Each woman releases their own private sigh of relief, practically drooling over any way to free themselves from boredom's clutches. The guards who had escorted them into the room now open the doors with the utmost care, revealing Mother and Daughter; the mysterious rulers of the system during this peaceful time, the Silver Millenium.

"Guardians of the inner planets, heirs to your thrones and warriors by training; Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter. I welcome you to my humble palace."

As though rehearsed, the four bow their heads and lift their skirts in curtesy - bar Mars, who bends at the waist and fists a hand over her heart.

"All rise. I would like you to meet my daughter; the cause of your summons."

Princess Serenity emerges from behind her Mother, a rather shy seeming girl.

Curtsying, her blonde tresses pool on the floor before she straightens herself once more, and clasps her slender hands against the gold detail of her pure gown.

"Let's all get along, so we can work together!"

For a brief moment Mars' brow furrows, daring to meet her eyes where the others actively avoided.

"Princess, to my knowledge our duty here will be to care for and guard you. Teamwork amongst us is a must in order to protect you, yes...But you seem to speak in a way which implies that you will have a hand?"

Face suddenly alight at the eye contact, the Princess instantly breaks her shy exterior and nods fervently.

"Yes! Whilst you are all assigned to guarding me each shall also teach me. Venus will educate me on dancing, manners, fashion and other necessary things for a Lady; Mercury will assist me in my studies, allowing me to become and educated leader in politics and technology; Jupiter will help me to build a fair yet firm attitude and will educate me on the various life forms on the many worlds, and the conditions of those worlds; Mars...you will train me. For every Moon Princess must understand and control the power bestowed upon them by the Moon's silver light."

And that was the introduction, no time wasted in giving the women their schedules for the following few days and in escorting them to their individual and personal rooms. Each door was simple, white - only distinguishable by their symbols in each planet's distinct stone; Emerald for Mercury; Diamond for Venus; Red Coral for Mars; Yellow Sapphire for Jupiter.

Mercury's room was rather academic, and contained a surplus of books and various pieces of technology.

Venus's room was plush, featuring a plethora of comfortable seating options and two walk-in closets lined with various shelves and mirrors.

Mars enjoyed protection, taken into account when installing the many weapon racks and their weapons - though it had discomforted the overseeing nobles.

Jupiter's living quarter was rich in plantlife taken from her personal gardens within her ow palace's grounds.

Though spacious all four rooms only occupied a single hallway, two either side, and at the end of it sat the Princess' quarter; a white door marked by a golden crescent moon embellished with white pearls.

All slept, save for the Princess, who's absence from the Palace went once again unnoticed. Well, so she figured.
