Silver Beginnings



By: Lirial Raito



Chapter 1: Dreams of The Future



Hikari paced around her room, certain now more than ever that decisive measures needed

to be taken to ensure the safety of the Moon Kingdom. Hikari was the first- born child of

King Roland and Queen Ilfana of the Moon Kingdom, and as first-born she was the

official heir.



'Scratch that,' she thought to herself, 'I'm the only heir.'



Hikari was heir by default, since she was currently an only child. Yet she knew her

position of heir wouldn't last forever, because upon her forehead was the golden symbol

of light, and not the crescent mark of royalty. She didn't mind really, since she didn't

want to rule, and she awaited the day when her mother would give birth to the true heir.



In the mean time she continued to pace around her room, knowing that her mother was

almost ready to deliver her second child, and offer quiet prayers that this child would be a

female, with the crescent mark.



'Then I can train to be Sailor Raito, like I've always wanted to do.'



She had trained a bit on her own, careful not to be caught by her parents, and was

currently studying how to create energy crystals. Since she was three she had been having

the same dream every night, where someone she identified as her 'little sister' was using

a shining silver crystal that contained enormous amounts of energy to drive away evil

from the moon.



'I know that there isn't currently a crystal like the one in my dreams in existence, so I'll

find a way to create one!'



She was, perhaps, more dedicated than she needed to be at her soon to be Senshi duties,

but she felt a burning need to make sure that her dream crystal became a reality. She

knew, deep down, that it would be an important part of the future.

I started on this story over a year ago, and eventually forgot about it. It's multi-chaptered,

may have a sequel. And YES, I know it's short.
