Dear all. Before you read my story I've wanted to say a few words. I am from small country. There aren't that many sailor moon fans, that is why I write (and read fan fiction) in English, which is my second language. I am skilful writer, but it's hard to write in another language. So if you decide to read my story, please forgive me grammatical errors.

Now regarding the story, it takes few paragraphs before Seiya and Usagi appear (just to describe the world and circumstances of thier meeting). But remember the longer you wait for something the better it tastes :P That's human nature.

They just came to the Middle Planet. It was a planet known to be the center of the Galaxy. It was the biggest known planet, greater than even some of the stars. It was said to be beautiful and full of different forms of life. Powerful warriors lived here alongside the mad demons. Creatures that looked like humans and those who looked like mystical gods inhabited it. Middle Planet was different than other planets in the Galaxy. It didn't have just one protector to shield it from the evil influences. It belonged to everyone and everybody had a duty to fight and die for it, because it concealed a greatest treasure and the source of power in the universe.

In the inaccessible mountains, there was a monumental cloister. The saint monks, both male and female, lived there to pray for the power, peace and equilibrium. Each monarch of a planet at least once in his or her life had to go there to pray for the strength and wisdom to protect their home. If the Galaxy was endangered many warriors came there to search for a solution. Sometimes they were waiting for God's voice to speak to them, sometimes it was the monks who helped them. When times were hard many were coming to see the Sacred Place.

The travelers came to Welcomnes. It was the great fortress build to greet all the comers from the different planets and was the only place like that on this huge sphere. This was the gate to the beauty and wildness of Sacred Middle Planet. Welcomnes was also the place where caravans were formed. Nobody by himself could reach the Sacred Cloister, not a soul from the outside could travel across that wild planet full of good and bad energies. Big groups were formed each time a mission was to be carried. These groups were mixed with the monarch of the planets and lowers for once in their life were brought up together on equal terms.

The Lowers were creatures with the power but without connection to any planet. They were free spirits fighting for what they cared for or for someone who paid them well. They were often servants and soldiers of monarchs, they inhabited almost every planet as powerful helpers but on the Middle Planet, they were free to live in their own tribes and countries. The Middle Planet became their homeland, almost every lower who served the monarch dreamed to find freedom on this beautiful and spacious ground.

Three monarchs-Seiya, Taiki and Yaten stepped into the greeting hall at the Welcomnes fortress. It was huge and tons of people were there already. One could hear their serious conversations and laughter in a variety of languages. The galaxy had one main common language. So many people after years of not seeing each other met there. One could feel the joy in the air as old friends were reunited. The greeting hall was the place where speeches and announcements were made. Three friends (authore's note: they are not brothers (or sisters) for me, I mean come on, they are so difrent. They just pretended to be brothers and we all know why. End of author's note ;) went deeper inside and looked around to see if they could see someone familiar. They hadn't been on Middle Planet yet and sudden danger from outside of Galaxy brought them here as many of others. As young successor of the planets they had to come here sooner or later here so they had been chosen as the perfect representatives from their system. They could make the pilgrimage and seek for the advice that was kill two birds with one stone.

They were told that the next mission to the Sacred Cloister will start off in many days so they had plenty of time to get to know better the ones who will be going with them. They were looking with bewilderment at the strange creatures who looked like mixture of human and animal body. In the other planets you could mostly see humans. Here it was different.

When they were looking around they stood next to a man with white hair. He was probably twice as old as they were and his face although handsome had a dangerous and tough look. He noticed them at once and winked with anger.

"The children form Kimoku system had arrived. I could recognize that energy at once, although I left your system decades ago," he laughed but there was a lot of hostility in it. They looked at him and recognized him at once, although they had known him only from the stories.

"You must be Aso, from the lower family who tired to overthrow the monarchy of one of the planets of our system," said Seiya with anger.

"Monarch like you and your families always lie about history," said Aso "Are you going to be in the next caravan?"

"It's not your business."

"I take it as a yes," answered Aso. "I am going to have more fun then I've thought," he said and without further talking he turned around. He shouted something and the group of loudly talking and laughing creatures and humans. They went after him and left the hall through the beautifully shaped portal.

The men stood and looked at each other.

"It's not good that we encountered him. How probable was that?" said Taiki

"What a bad luck first person we encounter here and it's enemy of ours. Princess said that she had heard that he had fought for Middle Planet."

"He is not an enemy. He is just the ambitious man whose family wanted to became a monarch family. He is not threat to us, let's just avoid him and forget about it," answered Seiya.

"Avoiding him is a good plan," answered Yaten "Look there," he pointed. "Isn't that a couple from Vierfa planet? We've met them on the surrounding planets ball. Let's talk to them."

Soon they met some more monarchy families. They spoke of the problems of the planets. All of them were worried about new unfriendly power that seems to be hanging around Galaxy. There hadn't been many serious attacks yet but the threat worried many monarch and lowers. Monarchs had greater responsibilities though, they had to protect their system. The conversations that were serious on the beginning became lighter.

"It was a great ball last time on the Vierfa Planet," everybody nodded and stared to remembering the joyful moments.

"The price of Hertla Planet is getting married with the princess of Etu Planet. It's a very promising match," everybody agreed with that. After the general chitchat people started to address the conversation more directly.

"Seiya you look very cheerful, lately you seem a bit depressed," said older man.

"Nah," he answered," but I'm happy to be here. Since we came back to our system we were only rebulding, studying and training. Now we have a chance to have some fun."

"Oh come on, you admitted once that you love the peaceful times," answered Yaten. "Now we must face another threat," he sighed.

"Well, maybe I am glad about the pilgrimage not about the threat. I had hard times adjusting again to live on Kimoku."

"Adjust again?" asked the man.

"It's a long story," said Yaten "Not that long ago our system was endangered by some powerful enemy. Many of our people die acctualy (ot that's what we thought)," he said sadly. "Among them my older brother. Our princess Kakyou, as she is the most powerful among us, decided to escape to drive the enemy away. The enemy was chasing her power. She hid on some minor planet near the boundaries of our Galaxy. We were afraid that enemy had killed her, but she managed to survive and she was hiding. Many of ours friend are comrades had they power taken away. We were among the last ones who escaped the attack. We found the princess on that planet and we defeated the enemy."

"Not us, but the fighters of that planet, we only helped them," add Seiya and looked angrily at Yaten who nodded unwillingly.

"Whatever. Anyway the enemy wasn't that bad as it turned out, because after she was defeated all the souls were released. So they didn't die really but came back to live. You can't imagine how great our joy was."

"The joy that no words could describe, the joy that takes all the pain away," Seiya added.

"Oh I've never heard of that, and we live in neighborhood systems!" answered the man.

"We asked you for help but there was Triden demon attacking your system and no one could help us. Our enemy avoided encounter with another demon as it seems. It drove nearer to the boundaries of Galaxy. We were alone in that fight. That were hard times," answered Yaten.

"And you didn't come here for advice? When a serious demon occurs one should go to Sacred Cloister to seek answers!"

"There just wasn't enough time. We had to protect our princess. The pilgrimages last for months or years sometimes."

"Well, it's good that you are here now. The Pertlet system was swallowed by demon not long time ago. We've lost another planets and friends," said man with pain in his voice.

"There is so much evil in this Galaxy," they all nodded sadly.

"Let's enjoy life as long as we can boys," answered the men and went to talk to someone else.

They were talking for some more time when someone entered the stage.

"The important announcements for newcomers are going to be made. " The voices went quiet. A man with white hair entered the stage gracefully followed by the proudly looking group consisting of all kinds of humans and creatures.

"Welcome all of you, all the lowers and the monarch of the planets," man smiled. Everybody noticed the sequence in which he had mentioned lowers on the first place." My name is Aso. I am a leader of this group of powerful lowers who stand behind me. We are the unit of the Middle Planet Anti-Demon Military. Our unit was appointed to be one of the four protecting units of the next caravan. Everyone who is in this hall today should assign to the list and will be under my protection. I will be honest with you. I didn't want that assignment; I am on my own quest to the Cloister. Yet Middle Planet Tribes Council wants to make sure that as many of you as possible will make it safely, because the treat is afflicting all of us. When saying ""you"" I mean monarch of course. I'm not worrying about lowers because we are used to fight. I can see that many of you are monarchs and without my help you will die soon in this wild place. There are more demons here then there are wandering the space. You will met here powers that you couldn't dream about on you small cozy planets…"

"He is such an asshole," said Seiya listing to the long speech with boredom. He started to look at the Aso's team. He watched them one by one. They were very serious and were looking at Aso with focus and devout grim on their faces. A young man with a sword – human; a huge tiger-like animal but standing on his feet; a beautiful human woman, another human woman of great beauty, five pegasuses and a unicorn, three young humans, one older woman but with strong energy, a mix of horse and man, another mix of horse and man, but female this time (he noticed that both of centaurs were looking very friendly); a well build man with wings-ikarian like Aso (ikarian were still humans but could fly); next to him sweet golden haired ikarian woman with wide white wings - she was listening to her leader with face full of emotions, and next… 'That girl' he set his eyes back on the ikarian girl, that face, he would recognize her among millions. But it can't be. He grabbed the sleeve of Taiki shirt.

"What?" the man answered.

"You see that girl over there, the tenth one on the stage."

"The big bear looking like?"

"No, the one from the other side," answered Seiya urgently.

"I see her, what about her?"

"Doesn't she look familiar to you?" Taiki looked at the girl giving her more attention. Girl stood on the stage looking seriously like all her comrades. Taiki turned his eyes to Seiya with bewilderment. His eyes widen.

"She does look like the girl from Earth, but it can't be her. She was a princess of the whole Sol System. She couldn't serve Aso- unimportant lower's leader, she couldn't be among the lowers."

"It is her, I know it," said Seiya and looked at her. She was so serious and seemed sad. It seemd to him that she was wrapped in such unlike situation but he just knew it was her. He was thinking of her often though some years had passed. He would recognize her anywhere. He missed her dearly and he owed her everything. She, alongside with him and friends, had brought back life to his homeland. That was the greatest of gifts. He was always thinking of her with unbelivable gratitude. As time went by he percived her more as the angel then the monarch princess of Sol System. He still longed for her, but he remembered every day that because of her they could see their families and friends revived. There couldn't be a greater happiness, and no pain could cloud it.

"Yaten, do you recognize that girl" Taiki showed her with a finger. The boy was watching her for some time.

"No, not really, I mean she does resemble someone but… no, I've never seen her. Have you Taiki?"

"No, never."

"It's Odango, I just know it," said Seiya and watched the girl he loved so much for the rest of very long, discriminating and boring Aso's speech.
