Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters:!
I did not abandon any of my other stories, It just takes a burst of inspiration to write another chapter on my stories. I just felt like I had to get this one down :)
Prologue:
There was a time on Earth when the demons of darkness got along with the angels of light of their own free will. That time of peace was ruined when a witch was blinded by her own greed and lust for what she believed was rightfully hers. There was never supposed to be a relationship between the two, but love had happened and blossomed. She was the goddess's only daughter and heir, Serenity. The angel of light, hope, love. He was darkness personified, the devil. How could an ethereal beauty such as herself ever fall in love with a being as dark as him. Who really knows, just that it happened...
Selene looked around her kingdom, laying in ruins, the final stage of death. The smell of burning flesh and blood permeating the air around her. It was devastating to know everything you once held dear was dead and in decay. Selene wandered about her castle like a lost soul, searching for those that she held close. The bodies of her daughters guardians were the very first few that she came across upon. Luna tried to avert Selene around them, the blood in puddles surrounding the bodies. "Luna, oh It's all my fault for not forseeing all this destruction and chaos around us." Selene let out with a sob. All Luna could do was hold her dearest queen in her arms and comfort her the best way she knew how. In a matter of seconds passing Artemis came running through the corridors, face pale as can be, as if he had seen a ghost. Selene already knew by the tell on his face, he had found her daughter. She didn't care that her trusted guardians were trying to hold her back from rushing to the bloodied scene.
The corridors seemed to drag in place as Selene ran faster and faster from the direction Artemis had come from. Her breathing becoming erratic as she neared the exit to the garden. "Oh Serenity." Selene cried out seeing her daughters bloodied body held in his arms. His lifeless glassed over eyes looked up at the woman who was to be his mother. "She's d-d-dead." Endyimon stated eyes starting to water again. The shadows were creeping up to their master, they could feel his pain even on a foreign land. Selene's heart could only go out for the young man. But she was hurting as much as he was, her heart lurched as she seen the multiple stab wounds that Serenity had been inflicted with. "I wasn't there with her...I was trying to defend your kingdom, I feel as if I am in a nightmare that I will awaken from." "Funny thing is I'm the king of nightmares, how does one end something you control." "I have lost control, my bride is gone, I'm doomed for an eternity of a life I did not want to lead." Endyimon spoke in sobs.
Selene could no longer take the pain radiating from her own world. Her world was collapsing in itself. "I cannot undo what has been done here my son." Selene said as she put a hand on his shoulder more so to steady herself. "But I can give my daughter and her guardians a future, a chance to live, and possibly to find her again." "In any lifetime that you two shall meet, you will always have my blessing, but do not forget that within your darkness there is some light my son." Selene whispered to him. Endyimon blinked than realized Selene was now gone from his view. He could feel her power swallowing the leftover pieces of the kingdom and feel her lifeforce slowly leaving her. She was going to give her life for the rest of her people if it meant that they had a chance for a future.
Leaning over gently, Endyimon placed gentle kisses down Serenity's face. "No matter where you go, where you are, my love, I will always find you." "Our links will keep us connected as you are the only one meant for me in this lifetime." Endyimon's last words were softly spoken. He did not want to leave her body here to decay. This planet was already dead and void of life. The rippling effect of Selene's powers could be felt across the surface of the moon. "My love, if only we were married before this, we will meet soon again."
When Selene felt his shadows retreating back to their respective home, she let out all she had to give. And thats when the nothingness hit her like a bright light...
Back on earth once more:
Endyimon paced his ballroom wondering how long it would be til his Serenity would appear back in his life. Selene had promised him, hadn't she? "I will wait a 1,000 years for my love if I have to." he stated before plopping down in his throne. Oh, it would be a 1,000 years before his love would reappear and he'd feel it. The wait would be like death had really taken him, but that would never happen because the devil can't take himself, can he?
