-1Heart Of A Soldier- Legacy of a Soldier

Prologue:

It should have been one of those normal days in San Francisco, California. At least, it started out normal. Irene Tori was on her way home, to see her husband, Kent Tori. Arielle Love, her best friend, beeped her car horn to distract Irene from the heavy lines of traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge. Irene laughed as Arielle started gesturing weird faces. Then, the day that would have been normal, suddenly, went very wrong.

Before a word could be spoke, or the blink of an eye, a huge explosion erupted over the bridge. The fires where hot and suffocating, Irene's normal daily routine collapsed. It became far worse as the bridge had broken in half, and horrified screams filled her ears. She watched Arielle's car fall off the bridge under the weight of a immensely large truck fell atop of the vehicle. She cried as she felt the car pull slowly down into the river, and began praying for her life.

A strong, firm, but still so gentle hold pulled Irene from the car, as it crashed into other doomed vehicles, and bubbled under the river's surface. Perhaps it was the horror of losing her true friend, perhaps it was just horror, or maybe it had been too much for her. Irene Tori fell numb, and her world went black. Regardless, she woke to a kind voice, "Irene, wake up, it's safe to open your eyes."

Irene looked upon a unearthly woman, one who had silver hair, and unspoken grey-blue eyes. The angel smiled gently to her. "Who are you," Irene asked her eyes not leaving the creature. "I am Releida Sawyer. I saved you from the tragedy on the bridge." Irene stood and replied, "Thank you, But I'm still rather confused about what I saw…" Releida's silver hair blew in the wind shimmering softly. "You, my dear friend, saw what is only the beginning of the invasion of the Negaverse."

"Invasion!" The woman's eyes were strong and majestic. "Over the past few moths, I have been watching our solar system. I knew very little of my destiny. I went with my fellow colleges to examine strange happenings on the moon, for we felt it had something to do with the attacks. Yes, this wasn't the first attack. Several bridge collapses, explosions, plain crashes, I could go on and on. But ever still our journey lead us to something you yourself would never have believed."

"We found a legendary city, a kingdom. It looked to be abandoned, until we entered the palace. A marvelous masterpiece, like nothing any one had ever seen. As we walked to the throne room, we passed what looked to be people, encased in crystal. We thought this was immensely strange, but we continued on. All of my men fell dead, the cause was supernatural. All I knew next was a strange, glowing form was coming towards me."

"Releida, do not be afraid," a voice cooed. The figure stopped glowing enough, Releida could see a silver haired woman with deep ocean blue eyes. "Why did you kill them," Releida demanded. Her red hair was wet against her forehead. She was crying heavily. "They were never meant to enter this sanctuary, only you may enter." "Why me," she cried, "I do not understand, what is happening on Earth? Why did this city appear out of no where? Who are you!"

"Shhh, calm yourself," the woman soothed, "My name is Queen Serenity. I ruled this kingdom, it has fallen until the resurrection of our princess. And you have been sent to go and find her Releida, because it is your destiny." Queen Serenity softly touched Releida's forehead.

"So then I saw the past of the great kingdom of Lunaria. Serenity had a daughter shortly after the death of her husband, she called her Selenity. The kingdom was at peace, for the Princess was to marry Prince Endymion, ruler of the Earth. But a great betrayal of Serenity's old friend caused panic amongst the people. His pride and greed destroyed Lunaria, the kingdom fell to his evil. Selenity used the great family heirloom, the Imperium Silver Crystal, to banish the trader to a far away galaxy. Now, the princess is to be born again, to protect Earth from the Negaverse, the army of the enemy which caused the perish of the Moon Kingdom."

"Now, Irene, the princess is returning. She is returning as your baby." Irene looked at a loss of words, and she placed a hand on her chest, "I don't understand why, but I believe you." "Destiny is calling you to believe me," Releida replied, "You are the key to this war. The attacks will not cease, things will only get worse. No one can stop it, but your baby." "What will we do," Irene asked. "On her tenth birthday, you will send her to me, in Tokyo, Japan. There I will train her, in the academy I have built. We will keep her true identity secret Irene, no one must know." "I will do as you ask," Irene sighed walking home.

Of course, on June 30, in 1991, Irene Tori gave birth to her baby, Serena Rose Tori. Releida prepared the academy, to train warriors to become Sailor Senshi. Only the specific prodigies had been picked, only those with the powers of the Silver Alliance. Serena was introduced to Mina Love, who became best friends as their mothers. But soon, Irene would send Serena to the Senshi Academy, where Serena's adventures would only begin.
