Shadya Says; Another fanfic? -le gasp!- So, here we have the beginning tale of the Sailor Senshi, the background of the Gold and Silver Millenniums, and some additional past of how they were brought to ruin. As for Staggitarus Zero Star, while this isn't exactly that big of a deal, I just always really liked the idea of it. When reading the Manga I thought it was interesting idea and wanted to have some part of a fanfic involving the place.
I do not own: Guardian Cosmos, Selene, or Luna. Nor any other characters invented by Naoko Takeuchi. I do, however, own Queen Selenity, Queen Elise, and Shadya. As well as any other original characters brought into the story at a later date.
Prologue: The Star Seeds
Galaxy Cauldron, home of all that is to be born into the world located in the Staggitarus Zero Star. The Guardian was tending to the star seeds in waiting to become born of the world for their bigger purpose. Suddenly a blinding white light filled the cauldron and a figured came toward the guardian. Recognition hit the guardian and a smile widened across her face, "Hello Selenity, it's been such a long time."
Selenity laughed lightly, "Yes, it has, Guardian Cosmos."
"What is it I can do for you, my dear?" Cosmos asked her old acquaintance.
Selenity smiled as she brought her gaze into something in her arms, "This is my granddaughter's star seed. She is to take over as Queen of the Silver Millennium, as soon as both my daughter and I are gone. I need you to make sure she is born as the Princess, will you do that for me?"
"Of course, Queen Selenity." Cosmos smiled taking the star seed from her.
"Thank you so much. I wish I could stay longer to talk, but I really must be going. I have to be getting back to my daughter." Selenity stared at her a moment happiness filling her eyes, "Goodbye." She hugged Cosmos and left just as swiftly as she had come.
"Goodbye, Queen." Cosmos spoke into the vastness of the cauldron, and a moment later came another blindly light, this time filled with gold. Another woman came walking toward Guardian Cosmos and she smiled once more at the new figure, "Hello, Queen Elisa."
"Hi, Guardian Cosmos, how are you doing today?" The Queen Elisa answered smiling at the guardian.
"I am quite well this afternoon," Cosmos answers noticing something also in her arms, "You, too, have a star seed to become the heir of the Gold Millennium?"
"Yes, will you make sure she is born of the Gold Millennium?" Elisa answers looking down fondly at the star seed of her future granddaughter.
"Yes, of course. You needn't worry about anything," The guardian responded smiling, "Both you and Selenity have quite a while to wait, though."
Elisa laughed quietly, "Yes, I know. Our daughters are only ten years old for pity's sake. I hope we have some time to wait." She handed over the star seed to Guardian Cosmos and bids her a fond and farewell goodbye.
Back on the Moon…
Queen Selenity walked gracefully to her daughter's door, "Selene, wake up, honey!" She calls softly into the room.
"I am up, Mother." Selene responses sighing at her mother. 'I always get up on my own, I don't see why she insists on coming everyone morning,' Selene thought silently as she wrinkled her nose.
Queen Selenity entered the room, "Oh, you are? Good, I have some new for you so I need you to get dressed and meet me in the dining room."
"Okay, Mother." Selene responded while her mother left her to get dressed. As soon as she was in a dress, she ran down the hall towards Luna's room, "Luna?" She asks awaiting outside the door.
"Yes, Princess?" Luna asks opening up the door to her Princess.
"Luna, I told you to call me Selene. Come on, let's go get some breakfast!" Selene grabbed Luna's hand and pulled her out the door. The continued on together down the halls holding each other's hand and strolled into the dining room.
"Oh good, you're here. Sweetie, you need to go to Earth. You are going to become Queen of the Moon someday, and you must know the needs of the Earth. You leave tomorrow afternoon." The Queen informed her daughter when she saw she had entered the room with Luna.
"But, Mother, what about Luna?" Selene asked in horror at the thought of leaving her friend all alone.
"She'll be fine. She will still be here once you've returned from Earth." The Queen said giving her daughter a look.
"But, I can't leave her! She's my best friend. I don't want to be alone." Selene replied looking at her mother hopefully.
"You can't always be with Luna. As a Queen you will have to be able to do things on your own, you'll be fine. I promise you." Selenity told her daughter as she started to pout, "Pouting will not help your case. You are going to the Earth for seven years starting tomorrow, end of discussion."
Selene and Luna are breakfast in silence, when they had finished they decided to spend some time outside together. They found a shady tree near the ocean in the backyard of the palace and sat together looking out into the sea beyond. Suddenly Selene burst out, "It isn't fair! I have to leave, and I get no say in it. Worst of all, I'm leaving you here all alone."
"It's okay Princess Selene. I'll be fine; I'll see you when you back." Luna said looking at her friend and giving her a tight hug.
