Chapter 1

I have lost count over the years how many times I have been told it's my destiny to save the world. I didn't want it. I never asked for it. Heck, I was only 14 years old when I was told that it was my destiny to save the world. No one ever asked me if it was what I wanted, but then again no one ever asked me if having my mother die to protect me when I was just simply Princess Serena would be okay. I have learned so many hard lessons over the years about destiny, and now I am ruling the very world I swore to protect.

I watched my mother's kingdom be destroyed; she died to save me and my friends. She had been warned, but then again I don't think she had many options left by that point. When I first took upon myself the role I was told was my destiny I didn't remember the crucial cause behind it all. It was only in the more recent years that I have discovered what truly caused the Moon Kingdom to fall, and it's all my fault.

You may be wondering how it could be my fault; I wasn't the one who destroyed that time of peace that was Queen Beryl of the Negaverse. But you see that's where things get complicated. I guess I better back up some. If you were to look at a Greek tragedy you would notice that many of their wars were over one woman. So in some ways my story is similar to that of a Greek tragedy. My destiny changed in an instant that fateful final year of peace in my mother's kingdom and it was all thanks to her. She told me that my life, my destiny, was in my hands and I had the power to change it if I truly wanted to. And I did. I never realized that such a choice would result in the death of my mother and the loss of her kingdom, the Moon Kingdom.

Though I shouldn't blame myself, I didn't destroy the kingdom I just started the process unknowingly. Beryl made her choice and felt it was in her power to take revenge for what happened and that was what truly resulted in the fall of the Moon Kingdom. Diplomacy was thought to be the way to prevent the war, but that failed before they could even try. I think I better do more than explain what happened, I think its time to tell my story of what I did to change my destiny that resulted in a war.
