Chapter One: The Legend
Queen Serenity watched the night sky fill with brilliant colors while she held the precious bundle close to her body. The people of the Moon Kingdom were still celebrating the birth of young Princess Serenity. Even though she was just born two days ago the people could tell she would be a kind, gentle, and fair ruler, they loved her already.
To Queen Serenity this bundle of joy was her life, and also her only connection to her husband who had died during her 5th month of pregnancy. The month before he had traveled to a far planet to sign an alliance with them, but while there he had caught a contagious disease that was only known on that certain planet. When he had came back the queen had noticed her husband's unusual behavior. He didn't smile anymore, he already knew his future, he knew he would not be around to see the birth of his first daughter. He didn't eat as much, he would get weak by just standing for a short period of time and his eyes…they were so dull and lifeless. His skin started to hang off his skin, Queen Serenity was so afraid she called her personal doctor right away, that was when she knew of her husband's future.
Another set of fireworks went soaring into the sky and exploded into a brilliant red and gold. The cheers of the commoners below could be heard and the queen smiled. She looked down at the small bundle in her arms and nuzzled her face in her daughter's hair, the one to rule this planet and universe.
"My darling daughter…" The Queen spoke in a soft, soothing voice. Although her daughter was paying attention, these new surroundings were what had caught her eye, and those colors flying in the sky.
"This celebration is for you. Look below us dear Serenity, all these people love you and want you as their queen. I know you will do a good job to, your loving environment. Now if only your father were here.." Queen Serenity trailed off as she got a far away look in her eyes and stared off into the Palace Court were people were conversing with others and young couples flirted.
"Serenity I can not wait till the day you fall in love…there will be a bigger celebration than this. Your wedding day will be gorgeous, the day you would show the everyone on the Moon how much you truly love this young man." She smiled as she gently rocked the girl who was talking in her own baby language.
"You know my darling daughter, Love is really cherished here…all because of one legend…do you wish to hear it?" As soon as her mother asked her that question young Serenity locked eyes with her in interest. The queen looked surprised at her actions but smiled and held her child even closer to her.
"I'll take that as a 'Yes' Serenity. Oh it's such an old tale I don't know if I can even remember it…" Serenity smiled, she remembered when her grandmother had told her this tale of true love. That whole week she had gone out into the town searching for Love.
"Hopefully you'll remember this tale and be able to tell your own children about it to."
A few centuries ago, when this Universe was still in it's infant age there was a girl who everyone in her village absolutely adored. She was full of so much life and her eyes shone brighter than the moon it's self, that's how she got her name, Tsuki. It was said that Tsuki was born from a flower it's self, that was what everyone said and got the innocent girl to thinking that was the truth since she didn't have any clue on who here parents were. The village people said they found her at the age of three roaming the forests with a grin on her face and accepted her into their home town. Now everyone in the village was her family and she was glad to have them, they treated her as if she was their own daughter. Although she had a village to call 'Home' she would always stray to the very forests in which she was found in.
In another part of this Moon a young boy was found also. He was found roaming fields and staring at the sky, but only at night would he spend time there. When he was found by an elderly old woman he refused to go with her claiming he was Home, that were ever the stars shone bright he would call home. The woman explained gently to him that the stars shined bright in her village also. He came with her and the village people fell in love with him. Not only was he adorable he had the spirit of a wild animal, because of his attraction to stars he was named Hoshi.
One summer, when both Tsuki and Hoshi were at the age of 15, Hoshi was asked by the village merchant if he wanted to travel with him. Of course Hoshi was always curious about what went on around the Moon and quickly accepted. Their first stop would be where Tsuki lived.
When Tsuki heard the small village was to have a foreign merchant she raced to the docks. She would always buy foreign objects, and she loved greeting visitors personally. This time when she met the merchant and Hoshi she got a funny feeling in her stomach, something she had never experienced before, and her cheeks burned red for some reason she did not know. For exactly one minute the two teenagers stared each other wondering what this strange feeling in the bottom of their stomach was. Tsuki became afraid and ran into the depths of the forest without saying a word to them, Hoshi was still in his trance when the merchant shook him.
After some quiet time of thinking Tsuki decided to talk to the Medicine Woman about these feelings. When she explained what she had gone through the Medicine Woman couldn't help but laugh. She assured the girl that she wasn't in trouble and that those feelings are what most girls feel her age. Then she advised Tsuki to go and talk to him.
At the same time Hoshi was explaining to the merchant what he was feeling. The merchant looked a little confused then remembered that Hoshi had never been in love and new knew what it was. He told Hoshi that he would have to find out on his own what these feelings were and told him it would be best if he talked to the young woman.
While exploring the forest floors when he heard the sweet angelic voice of a young maiden singing. When he looked up he found fifteen year old Tsuki singing on the thick limb of a grandmother tree. He joined her in the tree and started a friendly conversation with her. At first Tsuki was scared when she got that feeling again but some how her heart told her to trust the young man.
They became friend, and from friends they became destined lovers. The merchant wasn't surprised when Hoshi told him he wasn't going back to the village with him. He wished him luck with Tsuki and left the next day, Hoshi had found his new home with the one he loved.
One day the couple was taking a stroll in some of the fields of flowers. Tsuki was spinning around in circles acting like a child while her love watched her from his position on a rock. Tsuki giggled as she chased a butterfly not knowing how close she was getting to the edge of the cliff. Hoshi was to busy in his daydream to see where she was headed, all he heard was a sweet giggling which meant that she was happy.
Tsuki stopped chasing the butterfly to catch her breath. She placed her hands on her knees and when she looked down she screamed horrified, she was one centimeter away from falling, so frightened she lost her balance and fell forward.
Her hand wildly searched for something to hold on, then a hand grabbed hers, she looked up to see Hoshi desperately trying to pull her up. When he heard her scream and saw her helpless figure fall he rushed to save her. Tsuki looked up and smiled at him, Hoshi gave her a weak smile while trying to pull her up. Tsuki saw the scared in his eyes and smiled broader. Tsuki saw that he loved her and would do anything to have her safe and in his eyes, that was one reason she loved him so much. She knew he wouldn't be able to take her safety, she could feel her hand slowly slipping from his. Tsuki knew right away when she would fall and looked up at her love. They had been planning marriage for the past month and she knew that this would just kill him if she were to die before the day they would be bonded.
She smiled at him and told him "Don't cry love. I'll always Love you and I have a feeling we'll meet again, and we'll continue our love from that point on." All he could do was nod, then her tiny hand completely slipped from his. Hoshi's eyes widened when he saw her fall to her death. He was scared then, he wouldn't see his love ever again. He sank down and began to crying while muttering her name over and over. When mourning he felt a sharp pain in his chest that spread all over his body, it felt as if he were being torn into two. Which he was, he soul was being ripped about from his body. A few seconds later the pain became worse, he then fell to the grassy area dead.
The legend says that they will always find each other, no matter what form, shape, or the distance between them. They would always be reincarnated to continue their love. And if one were to die the other would die right after. His or her body being ripped apart from the soul. Then they would be reincarnated into two different lives with no idea of what happened in their previous life, or the love that went one between Hoshi and Tsuki.
Queen Serenity looked down on her baby who was now sleeping. Sighing she started to the palace and placed the baby in her crib while gently whispering to her.
"You see my daughter, that is why love is cherished so, because you never know who could be the reincarnation of the two destined lovers…" She walked away slowly and placed her hand on her child's door knob. She took one last look at her daughter and smiled. "You never know."
