Prologue: Discord Begins
"Serena, you know I'm not going anywhere."
"Your not?" Serena looked nervously to Darien. The idea had been hanging over her head that he would return again oversees to study ever since Luna had, in brutal truthfulness pointed this fact out.
"No, after all that I think overseas schooling is…. Really not for me." Darien looked at his pile of books. After what had happened with Galaxia it just seemed best to say in Tokyo for now. "I think I'll study local for now. I'm sure more opportunities will arise. I think I'll have my hands full for a while." He sighed.
"But I don't want you to stay just for me…well I do, but-" Serena twiddled her hair between her fingers. She was being selfish, but she couldn't help it.
"No, no. I mean I want to stay with you, but I think that – well travel is a little out of the question for a while."
Serena nodded. She understood. His last attempt to travel had ended in Galaxia's snatching of his star seed. She liked it better when he was home, safe with her. "Well I'm happy I get to spend more time with you."
"Me too." Darien smiled at her. "Hopefully a little peace for a while. Even if I do have…all that reading to do to make up for the courses I missed..."
Serena, ignorant to his subtle hints towards the work he had to get done, nuzzled herself in his shoulder. Darien was home. The scouts were back. Galaxia was gone. At least for a while she could be happy in this bliss.
"Sedna…" She stood before her thrown, as she watched the pale blue haired woman emerge from the shadows.
"Yes?" Sedna asked, nodding her head to their appointed leader.
She turned and looked beyond Sedna. "Varune I can see you there."
"I'll handle this first one Varune. The second one we'll go together?" Sedna said over her shoulder to the man in the shadows.
"If that's what you want." Varune nodded his head and disappeared.
"Sedna, Take the first seed of Darkness into the Earth. Turn them against each other and let these reborn Sehshi of the planets fail to protect them. Let them know of our presence."
"Which one is it?" Sedna looked to the collection of red seeds, glowing with a dark aura.
"'Toil. A good start. A good opener. Awaken the people of the Earth to their own inner demonic potential. Then they'll come out, for a fight, and we'll give them it. Introduce the Guardian Senshi to their past. I'm sure it was a past they, as the darling and protected generation, were shielded from and we'll open their eyes to the chaos they've caused us to entice. Awaken your powers of the deepest and darkest waters and do this successfully Sedna."
"Of course. As a fellow rejected sister of the planets, I'll make good use of this my leader." She bowed, Seed in hand.
"I know you will. I know you will.
She watched Sedna go. She knew well that Varune would watch out for Sedna, should the Senshi be troublesome on their first mission. Senda and the others worked under her because purely her powers were the most fearful of all. Her powers of chaos and war were mostly the reason she had been rejected from the inner circle; protecting a pathetic Silver Empire, along with the others. Over looked, or rejected.
But now they would overcome them. Darkness would invade and the Kingdom they have protected from Darkness for so long. Their rebirth was meant for a new start upon this Earth. If they wanted to create a new era, A new era of leadership is what they would get.
She smiled as she looked to her hand, holding a single golden fruit.
Now, Discord would ensue.
