PROLOGUE
Thousands of years ago, in the Solar System existed a large and powerful empire. Those years, under their rule, were known throughout the galaxy as "The Silver Millennium", whose headquarters was located in Earth's natural satellite, the Moon. The Moon Castle was the home of the Royal Family, which was intended to protect the sacred stone, Silver Crystal, in order to maintain peace in the solar system, especially in the blue planet, Earth. Holding the power of the crystal, the people of the Moon were known for their joviality and long life. The powerful stone had also an endless supply of power, which, in the wrong hands, could be a dangerous weapon for destruction. For these characteristics, the Silver Crystal was always desired and envied by many people, good or bad. This led to the beginning of a dramatic, romantic but adventuress story, many years ago, by the birth celebration of the Moon Princess...
To celebrate the birth of her only successor, Queen Serenity of the Moon, Goddess Selene's reincarnation, decided to invite all residents of the Moon. A wonderful party began with the announcement of the four Senshi who would serve their lives to protect the future princess. They were: Sailor Mars, the Senshi of fire, Sailor Mercury, the water Senshi, Sailor Jupiter, the Senshi of lightning and thunder, and finally Sailor Venus, the Senshi of love and the leader of them all. The Senshi, being only children at that time, made their vows. The party guests began to give gifts to the baby, but the evil presence of a person disrupted the party. The black aura of Neherenia, the uninvited one, was sensed. She made a special apparition in order to give her special gift to the princess. To prevent it, Queen Serenity used the Lunar Sceptre and sealed the queen of darkness inside a mirror located in the main hall of the castle. When sent to the mirror, Neherenia delivered her gift, or rather, a curse: "The princess will die before inheriting the throne and the Silver Millennium, will collapse."
Meanwhile, the princess grew into a beautiful young woman...
During the Silver Millennium, the Kingdom of the Moon had great influence over the Earth Kingdom. The Moon was responsible for peace and harmony on the planet but, behind this political alliance, a forbidden romance by all rules, was born. The young Princess Serenity ended up falling in love with Prince Endymion, future ruler of the Golden Earth Kingdom. During the visits to the blue planet, her curiosity grew better by contemplating things that didn't exist in her homeland: green trees, blue water, refreshing breeze... There, Serenity began to meet secretly with Endymion. The love between the two started, but it was a forbidden love... All knew the secret romance between the two, especially Sailor Venus, who often advised Serenity not to go to Earth to meet with Endymion. Moreover, even the guards of the Prince, the generals Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite and Kunzite, were aware of the relationship. They tried to stop them and alert them, but the separation seemed impossible. This approach allowed new secret loves between the generals and the Senshi.
In the meantime, a young woman also fell in love with Endymion. Her name was Beryl, one of the priestesses of the Golden Kingdom and the promised wife of the Prince. During the secret meetings of the lovers Endymion and Serenity, she spied them in the distance, feeling hatred, envious and with greed. She couldn't bear seeing the Prince in love with anyone else and ended up making a pact with the devil in order to separate them once for all.
During one beautiful night, where shooting stars painted the dark blue sky, a strange creature known as Queen Metalia took advantage of the negative feelings from the young priestess. She possessed and poisoned her. Thus, Beryl organized a large army, brainwashing the minds of the Earth Army, planting revolutionary ideas such as ending the control exercised from the Moon over Earth. Her mission was clear: stealing the Silver Crystal for endless power and rule the darkness kingdom beside Endymion. Deluded, they attacked the Moon and a bloody battle began...
During the attack, Beryl led the battalion and tried to kill Serenity but Endymion placed himself in front of the princess receiving the attack which caused his death. Seeing the Princess being attacked, Sailor Venus wielded the sacred sword and killed Beryl, but the danger was not over. The twisted mind of the Army couldn't be retrieved and, more than that, the loss of a love's life was too much for the young Princess... Shaken by the death of Endymion, Serenity took Beryl's sword and tore her chest. As blood flowed, her Senshi and mother screamed for her, in vain. Then, the only way to destroy the enemy was using the power from the Silver Crystal. The Queen raised the symbol of the Royal Family, the Lunar Scepter, and with its power, the invaders turned into rocks, confining them in the depths of the earth. For the Senshi and the couple, fate was different... All of them were sent to Earth in the distant future so they could reincarnate. An opportunity to live truthfully happy in a peaceful world.
In distant planets, the outer Senshi watched the war. Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto couldn't do nothing except for one option... By raising their talismans, they invoked the goddess of destruction, Sailor Saturn. The warrior took her Silence Glave and everything came to an end.
The Silver Millennium, the Sailor Senshi and The Silver Crystal were over... There, remained only the desire to, one day, reborn into a different world...
Thousands of years have passed ... But something very powerful was again awakened in the depths of point D, in North Pole. Again, the light for darkness was called...
Meanwhile, a fine morning in 1992, a blonde girl woke up hearing her mother say she would be late for school. She barely knew that her life, from this day on, would never be the same...
