THE GARDEN OF FATE

By: AznXChiKa

*Chapter 1* ***The Royal Decission***

Princess Serenity ran down the long corridors of the palace with her face stained with tears. 'Why can't mother treat me like a regular human being?' she thought to herself. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Today was another day that she had brought up the topic to her mother and the Senshi. Everyone was jubilant when Makato, Princess Jupiter, and A.K.A Sailor Jupiter had discovered a new recipe to bake her grand cake for the millennium ball that was yet to come in 5 months. That was until Serenity had brought up the discussion about paying a visit to Earth to see the spectacular gardens that were rumored to be the most beautiful. But before she could even finish her request, she was met by worrisome and angry stares. She knew she shouldn't ask but she had to.to go before she can never have that chance to do what she wanted ever again. Queen Serenity of course had said no, it was pretty evident on her graceful features.

"But mother, why can't I go? It's not like I can't take care of myself" said Serenity "I'm already 15 years old"

She looked down at her plate. She couldn't look at them for she knew what she would see. Sad faces that would plead with her to stop what she is doing because she already knew the result of this discussion. But she didn't care.she couldn't.

"Serenity, you must know better than to go. You're a princess" cried Minako, Princess of the planet Venus, and A.K.A Sailor Venus.

"Of course, you must understand your condition" said Rei, the princess of Mars, and A.K.A Sailor Mars. "You can't go" she said blandly. Rei was always to the point, always direct.

"Even if you can Serenity, we wouldn't be able to take care of you," said Ami, Princess of the planet Mercury, and A.K.A Sailor Mercury "you need your mother and the silver crystal"

"Ami is right" Queen Serenity replied "Even if your physical condition agrees with you, you know that you are not the least strong to take care of yourself." "you cannot go" With that, the Queen went back to her dinner.

The lectures always come shooting her way whenever she mentions of going anywhere but remaining on the moon. Serenity knows that she is sick. Her mother had told her that during the war with the negaverse, the evil witch, Beryl, had poisoned her. There was no antidote and her father had died after defeating Beryl. He was too weak to sustain himself. Now, the only thing that can keep Serenity alive is her mother's power combining with the Empirial Silver Crystal.

But Serenity didn't care. It was like being in prison. She cannot do anything without having people fret over her. At least that when she died, she could already see what she wanted to see.

"Mother, just once, can you please treat me like someone who is normal?" Serenity asked incredulously "my heart haven't been in pain for more than 3 years"

"I'm sorry Serenity", her mother said "but I can't take the risk"

Serenity excused herself and ran to her chamber.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*END OF FLASHBACK*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Now lying on her bed, she cried like there was no tomorrow. Suddenly, she felt the painstaking feeling in her heart. It felt like there was a needle that had pricked her skin, except in this case, it was her heart. It was less painful than it was 3 yrs ago and only lasts for about a second. This sudden pain only arises once in a long while so she never felt obligated to inform anyone.

Serenity knew that everyone loved her, even the little children in the village, whose smiles would brighten at the sight of her. And the servants and the guards whom would smile once serenity walks by, but she felt like a prisoner in her own home.

Now that the last drops of her tears were shed, she wandered over to the balcony of her room. Gazing out at the Blue Pearl that was beyond her reach, she wanted to go to earth, to see the beautiful flowers that were rumored to be the most beautiful of the universe. These plants were native to the planet Earth and to earth alone.
She pondered over her situation "what if I decided to leave" she said to herself. "Oh well" she thought, it wouldn't be the first time that she had done something in the spur of the moment. It's just something that is much bigger than they would have expected. She remembered bringing in all the small children of the nearby village to the palace, where they had played and created a huge mess. Mother was but more surprised than upset. Afterwards, Serenity had gone to the servants and apologized for causing such ruckus, but they just smiled and said that it was a pleasure to see their princess happy. She had wondered that maybe her mother had felt the same way because she had never gotten in trouble for that day.

Now that she had made her final decision, she wrote a letter to her mother, leaving it on the dresser so that once someone enters her room, they will surely not miss it. She silently said goodbyes to all of her friends: Rei, Minako, Makato, and Ami. Then she packed her clothes and teleported herself to her new destination, Earth, where adventures awaits her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
