Eons ago, in a world unknown,
An Ancient Evil took over a throne.
This dark beauty with powers untold,
All within her grasp, she took hold.
Warriors from afar
Flew from their stars
With hope in their hearts,
And faith in their ties,
These strong young women
Took their part to the skies.
This Ancient Evil could not withstand
The power of the many souls at hand.
Loosing her strength, she became but a lamb,
Sent to a desolate system to be banned.
For many millennia she sleeps in her tomb
Not a soul to stir her from this eternal gloom.
But life in this system was but a mistake.
Their life force fed her power to awake.
The day she breaks free,
All those that share the soul
With her original foe,
Shall find a most painful death.
To no longer find breath.
After the destruction of chaos, and Neo-Queen Serenity took the throne in Crystal Tokyo, earth had thrived and was a beautiful, peaceful place. For 2000 years, the people of earth lived full and happy lives, extended by the power of the silver imperium crystal. During this era of peace they called the Era of Serenity, humans had worked together and made reach to the other planets in the solar system. Planets once uninhabitable for life to sustain itself we're now thriving through technological advances and were living peacefully under the rule of their respected queens: Neo-Queen Mercury, Neo-Queen Mars, Neo-Queen Jupiter, and Neo-Queen Venus. The planets of the outer rim were used as outposts to fight off incoming threats and defend the people inside, as they were during the silver millenium of so long ago.
Queen Serenity became uneasy as the years progressed. She knew her people were happy but she still felt an overwhelming dread. The people became worried when their once happy and calm queen became quiet and withdrawn. Emerging less and less from palace into the inviting sunlight. During her depression, she split the silver imperium crystal in half, each half re forming into its own separate crystal. She gave one half to her daughter Rini, instructing her that it would have the same effect as the original crystal and that she still needed to guard it with her life.
But one day, their peace was shattered.
The sun turned black and there was a violent storm on every civilized planet. The servants of each palace remember seeing the rulers eyes fogging over and becoming a flat black. Neo-Queen Mercury was walking outside her palace in the gardens near a giant lake. When a dark cloud covered the castle, Mercury's eyes faded and became black as she threw herself into the lake. Forcing herself to stay underwater, she slowly drowned herself.
It was said the Neo-Queen Mars was praying before and altered fire, and as if she was sleep walking, she laid down on her back in the fire. No sound of pain or horror escaped her lips, she simply laid there, eyes glassed over and she cremated herself. The poor servant that stumbled onto her burning body said that she had a calm look as if she was enjoying watching the flames engulf her body.
Neo-Queen Jupiter was training as she often did. Distracted by a sparring match with an instructor, but the queen and the servant came under the spell of the unknown foe. Eyes a glossy black, the queen stood still as the servant slowly approached, and quickly, cleanly, snapped the neck of the queen. As Neo-Queen Jupiter fell to the feet of the instructor, he to fell to the ground head from what appeared severe mental trauma. Neo-Queen Mercury
The sword that was fashioned out of a poisonous rock, the same that Princess Serenity used to commit suicide during the silver millenium in her grief, had been guarded in the palace on Venus. Neo-Queen Venus' eyes also became a glossy black as she entered the guarded room. Closing the door behind her, she took the sword in her hands and pierced her heart with the unforgiving blade.
Neo-Queen Serenity placed her half of the Imperium Silver Crystal on a small table in the middle of her bedroom. A small hammer in hand, she smashed her half of the crystal. She too fell to the floor. Dead.
As each of the worlds discover the deaths of their rulers, rumors and suspicions started to arise and accusations were made. Each planet believed that assassins from their neighboring planets killed their rulers. King Endymion fell into a state of grief and locked himself into the Crystal Palace. As hatred and contention grew among the people, they started a great war. Later known as the Solar War in record books. Rini, now the queen of the system with her mothers death and her fathers seclusion, made an announcement to the people of the Sol System telling them that it was not assassins that had killed their beloved Queens but rather a great and ancient demon that was apparently hidden in their sun. She also announced that she and Hotaru, a.k.a. Sailor Saturn, would follow the demon and avenge their Mother, rulers, and friends.
For a few years the feelings among the worlds were tense and untrusting. But finally the assumptions returned and the Solar War restarted. Beautiful cities once gleaming and full of happy people were now a pile of rubble with handicaps and beggars littering the streets. And this is where our story begins.
But from the darkness
Shines four lights
Joining together from paths unalike.
One is reluctant,
But the leader none the less,
Will find the other three
And begin the quest
The Second is the sister,
Not known, but still true,
Contrasting her sisters darkness
With life and virtue.
The third is quiet,
But with much wisdom for her years
Though she speaks seldom
She does have many fears.
Fourth is energetic
Like a burning flame
Unpredictable to say the least
But willing to take the blame.
These four, though not much in common
Will conquer the demon.
Yet, if they should not find their hearts
They will surly fail.
The demon, again, will take hold.
