Prologue

Servitude A state of subjection to owner or master Lack of personal freedom, as to act as one chooses

Sailor Pluto raced across the frozen plane. She didn't care about fate, or mandated meetings. She didn't care that she wasn't supposed to meet Sailormoon and the scouts for another 2 years. She only had one thing, no, one PERSON, on her mind.

Endymion.

She had loved him in the Silver Millennium, but the Gates, and the Moon Princess, had forced them apart. She had watched him across crowded rooms and through darkened trellises as he promised the love that should have been hers to a girl barely fourteen.

However, Setsuna forgave him. Now he had been captured by Beryl because of her unwillingness to bend the laws of time. The Senshi of Pluto didn't care anymore. She threw down the time staff and ran for Beryl's castle. If she saved Endymion, then he would love her, not SailorMoon.

Two hours had passed, and Setsuna finally fell to her knees, her body weak from constant running. Her sides hurt from too much lactic acid, and her lips were chapped and bleeding.

Setsuna wasn't any closer to the castle.

Then SailorPluto understood. She wouldn't get to the castle. She wouldn't save Endymion. Endymion wouldn't ever know her the way she wanted him too. Because she wasn't the Moon Princess. In a thousand years, when he was king of Crystal Tokyo, she'd be just a vassal to him. Just like she was a vassal to Serenity, and Serena, her heir.

All because she had to be born to the wrong family.

Setsuna wallowed in self-pity for a few minutes, remembering all the times fate had screwed her over.

She would have stayed their for a few days, if she hadn't noticed the Garnet Rod, still obediently by her side. She had run for two hours, just to come back to it.

A small smile played on her lips, and she picked up her staff, the only thing in the universe that ever loved her, the only thing that cared how she felt. But even the staff was a source of anguish. It was a mark of the fact that she, Meioh Setsuna, was a Princess of Pluto, not of the Moon.

"What makes a Moon Princess?" she whispered, stroking the Garnet Rod absently, as icy wind whipped around her. "Is it Lineage? Or is it something . . ."

Setsuna's eyes settled on the Garnet inside her Staff.

"Is it something else?"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Pluto ran through the time continuum, looking for the right portal.

The Moon Palace of the Silver Millenium showed itself, and Setsuna used the rod to focus in on the uppermost bedroom. Soon she was looking in the window, watching Queen Serenity clutch the Silver Imperium Crystal in desperation.

Pluto silently stepped in the room behind her.

The Time Senshi observed as the Moon Queen shuddered and used her power to cast her final spell, the one that would send her daughter and her daughter's court to the future.

"Your Majesty." Pluto fell to her knee beside the Queen. "I must warn you about what you have just done."

Queen Serenity looked wild with fear. "What!? Will my daughter be allright?"

Pluto shook her head. "Not if you do things the way you are intending, sealing the crystal inside of her."

Pluto used the small scrying pool and showed the Queen many things, the most important of which being Endymion's betrayal and Serena's death.

"All these things will happen to her, Your Grace, if she doesn't have immediate access to the Silver Crystal."

Queen Serenity shook with fear. "How. How can I ensure that my daughter is safe? How can I be sure that she will not have such heartache in the future?"

Pluto nodded softly. "Leave the Crystal in my possession. As soon as Luna, your advisor, finds the princess, I will deliver the crystal to her myself."

Queen Serenity nodded. "Yes, yes, that is wise. You are one of the most trusted senshi, had it been any other -"

A loud banging began on the other side of the door. "OPEN UP YOU LUNAR COW! WE'VE COME FOR YOUR HEAD!"

Queen Serenity's eyes filled with fear, and she clung to Setsuna. "Save me! Please! Save me with my daughter!"

Setsuna shook her head, and allowed a few tears to spill. "No, my queen, I am sorry, but this is the way it must be."

Queen Serenity let out one wracking sob, then deposited the Silver Crystal into Pluto's waiting palm. "See that this gets to my daughter then. And. Setsuna. Tell her how much I loved her." Setsuna created a portal and tore out of the room just as the last Queen of the Silver Millennium opened the door to welcome her gruesome fate.
