Summery: Have you ever wondered what Queen Serenity's teen years were like? This is my version about what happened.
Please note. This story is about Queen Serenity the mother of Princess Serenity/Usagi.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon although some characters featured within this fic are of my own creation.
Please enjoy this story my hopes is that it is an original. This is my first attempt at a fic with chapters. I hope it will last 10 chapters but they will be of medium length.
Prologue: A Tea Party
Authors P.O.V
I sit in a large comfortable couch in what I guess you could call my living room, except for the fact that I hardly use this room unless I have visitors. In my hand I hold a fragile fine china teacup from the Victorian era. Hardly used. Company cups I call them. Before me is my ornate coffee table with intricate designs inlaid in the wood. It was hand made for me by a master craftsman who had been a very dear friend of mine a long time ago. On the table sits all sorts of goodies. To the right there is a plate of orange choc-chip cookies with two or three missing. Next to the cookies is a platter with strawberry butterfly cakes looking very dainty also with two missing. In the middle of the table sits the large baked caramel cheesecake, next to that is a large marble mud cake with chocolate icing both with two very small pieces missing.
In front of me on the couch opposite sits an adolescent, a girl on the verge of womanhood. Her frame was what one would describe as petite, her skin soft and the colour of porcelain. . Her hair was tied up in two ornate cone-shaped buns on the top of her head and then the rest of it flowed down and reached her knees. She is a beauty but it is the kind of beauty that shines from the inside out. In her hands she holds a very large pink mug from which she is finishing her second helping of hot chocolate.
"The food is both pleasing to the eye and to the taste buds," I say warmly to the small lady. "You are becoming quite the chef."
"Only in sweet things it seams," she replies to me. "I fear I will be never as good as Aunty Makoto on any or her savoury dishes."
"Well I think in some respects you surpass her with the sweet things. You do not have to be good at everything Small Lady. I am glad that you chose to share it with me. I do not get company often you know. What are you going to do with the left overs?"
"Well you can keep the Butterfly Cakes and the cookies I made a huge batch of both of those so every one at home can have some."
"Aah, yes. I am sure Chibi Mamo will have his fair share of both. What of the twins?"
"Mama does not like to over indulge them but I am sure Seigi and Heiwa will have a cookie or two. I thought Chibi Mamo was bad at their age but having 2 two year olds in the house drives me insane sometimes, and when they get too much sugar they can become very hyper and hard to handle."
"What of the cakes?"
"Oh I'll have to save three pieces of both, one for Mama, one for Papa and one for Aunty Makoto. They always like to taste my cooking and evaluate it. Mama always says it is better than Aunty Makoto's but I think she is just being biased. The rest, well it is fend for yourselves or miss out."
"Yes, well with a household as large as yours I can understand why." I look at my watch and then continue speaking. "Looks like we have a lot of time on our hands before you have to go home. I have caught up with what has been going on in your life and I now have the gossip on all the others' lives, what would you like to do now?"
"Oh, I would love to hear a story, one I have never heard before. A long one preferably."
"Who would you like to hear about?" I ask as I pour myself some more black tea and add a generous amount of milk.
"How about Queen Serenity from the Silver Millennium, I don't here many stories about her" Small Lady offers me her mug and I pour her some more hot chocolate.
I get myself comfortable in my couch and start to think back. Then in a tone of voice that I use only for story telling I began to start my naration.
Many view Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdom as weak. They use the fact that she was unable to wield the power of the Imperium Crystal to save her kingdom and to live as evidence of this weakness. However the sacrifice that she made to make others happy proves her true strength. Not many know the true story of Selene Dianna Lunaris. Queen Serenity IV, Serenity the Sorrowful, she was commonly known as in her time. She was the last Queen of the Silver Millennium. I intended to tell her story her full story. Few tell of it and even fewer know the whole of it. Much of what has been told is merely rumours and myths. I have been there by the side of my Queen since the beginning. I have seen this story unfold right before my eyes.
This story takes place in a time long forgotten. In a land not too distant from the blue planet, known as Earth. It was destroyed eons ago, by darkness itself. The moon is nothing but sand and craters now but back in the height of the Silver Millennium it was a kingdom flourishing with natural beauty and great financial wealth. It controlled much of the Solar System through its various alliances. Only the Earth its closest neighbour was not under its direct rule. Our story takes place when Serenity was still a child in many ways. She was on the verge of Womanhood, but without much of the responsibilities.
What did you think? Please Review and tell me. I except constructive criticism as I would love to improve my writing, but please, no flames. I hope to have the 1st chapter up soon but I must warn you I am a procrastinator. If you review I am pretty sure the chapters will come out faster.
