The stars shone brighter than ever in the clear night sky, Mamoru sighed as he gazed out his bedroom window. He smiled to himself as thought of his future bride, Usagi. She was relaxing with her friends, something that was well deserved, she had finally brought peace and soon they could live their destiny. But until then, they would live their lives as always. He yawned and closed his eyes, he deserved a rest too. As he began drifting off to sleep, a loud crash broke the night's silence. Mamoru sat up quickly and left his bed, he crept out of his room and into the hallway. It sounded like something had broken a window, but he was very high up in the apartment building, he was on the tenth floor. How could that be? He peered into his living room, no one was there, but there was shattered glass all across the floor. He stared at the glass with confusion.
"What could do this?" He wondered aloud. He thought of nothing and decided to clean up the shards of glass. As he vaccumed the pieces, he felt like someone, or something, was watching him. He disregarded the eerie feeling, nothing was there. He had nothing to worry about… but still… the glass… Mamoru sighed as he unplugged the vaccum, he would call someone to fix the window in the morning. As he turned to leave, a strong gust of wind blew into the room. He looked back at the window… no one was there… What were you expecting? He asked himself, we have no more enemies. He returned to his bed and tried to sleep.
'Endymion…' His name was whispered gently. He ignored it, just the wind, he thought but there was doubt.
'Endymion… Endymion… My prince… Come to me…' He rolled over and closed his eyes tightly.
'Come to me, Endymion… My dear, sweet prince… Come…' The voice was soft like the wind, seductive like the siren's song. 'Endymion…' He knew it couldn't be ignored, the voice refused to be ignored. 'I am waiting for you… come to me…' It hissed, Mamoru got up from his bed. He felt hollow and dizzy, it was like he was lost in a dream. He walked slowly down the hall.
'Follow the light, my prince… follow it…' As he entered the living room, he saw a little light, floating in the center. It moved out the broken window as he got closer to it. It hovered in the air, he stepped on the window silk. 'Follow it… Reach for it…' The voice whispered, Mamoru felt very lightheaded as he reach for the orb, but it moved from his touch. He grabbed on to the side and cut his hand on a shard of glass. 'Reach for it… Reach, my prince…' Mamoru obidently raised his hand, leaning forward to grasp the light. The moment the tips of his fingers touched the golden light, everything vanished. Mamoru closed his eyes as he felt something pull him forward. The sensation ceased, Mamoru slowly opened his eyes and gasped. He was no longer in his apartment, he was standing in the doorway of a beautiful palace. He entered, the doors closing behind him, wondering where he was. His footsteps echoed off the walls as he wandered the palace halls. He couldn't find anyone. He became suddenly aware of how tired he was as he opened the door to a bedroom. It looked so welcoming, the golden silk sheets just waiting for him. He laid down wearily and slept.
He was awaken by the soft light of the sun. As he sat up in bed, he realized he had been undressed. Hastily he covered himself with the bed sheets as he heard the gentle sound of giggles. Two girls with long, braided pink hair entered the room. They smiled sweetly at him, they were beautifully dressed in gold.
"We brought you your breakfast and clothes, prince." They bowed. One placed the folded clean clothes on the end of his bed, and the other placed his tray on the night table next to him. They bowed again and left the room, closing the doors behind them. He dressed quickly, finding that the clothes fit perfectly. The food was good, but he didn't know what it was. When he finished, one of the girls in gold returned.
"Good morning, prince. You are well fed?" She asked, bowing. He nodded making her smile. "Come with me. She awaits." Mamoru followed the girl to the courtyard, where hundreds of flowers were growing and trees were blossoming. A woman leaned against one of the trees, she turned to face him with a delighted smile. His eyes widened as he reconized the woman. He opened his mouth to speak, but she raised her hand, her eyes flashing dangerous. Everything went dark and when Mamoru awoke, he couldn't remember where he was. Or who he was. He smiled warmly at the woman kneeling over him. "My Queen." He said as she smiled. At last, he was hers. Forever.
