People seem to think that life is boring. That there can be no fun in mindless, everyday BORING housework or going to the same BORING job day in, day out. Let me tell you, I'd love to be this boring. I'd love to be normal. I'd love to be free from all the mindless chitter that is my head most days because the world can't help but get itself in some kind of mortal danger every OTHER hour. My power grew from nothing but an everyday teenage girl with just a few minor 'superhero' powers like turning my tiara into a deadly frisbee, or using my wand to heal or destroy, to my life now, where each and every day I sort through the pain in the world to find the darkest forces in order to keep some semblance of peace this realm. The only way I get through it all is because of my court. The other princesses that fight alongside me and take away as much of the torture that is this realm as they possibly can. Who am I, you ask? But a figment of your imagination. You think you saw me, but you didn't. You think you heard something go bump in the night? You probably did, but I took care of it before it sucked your energy dry, and left you ruined body waiting for the next poor human to cross your corpse's path.

My name- for the purpose of this story, my name is Serena. I am now a queen, THE queen to be more precise. My kingdom presides over the entire galaxy, although you wouldn't know because Earth is one of the few remaining untouched kingdoms, or at least my mother thought that when she sent me and my court to this miserable planet before the great battle that ruined my home, destroyed my family and turned me from the future ruler of a wonderful kingdom to an orphan in the space of what humans call hours. It's not that I don't like Earth- far from it, this planet is beautiful, I'm only spiteful because we fight so hard to protect the only remaining colony of people left and you don't even know about it.

Allow me to start from a beginning. My daughter will be given these records for her future use, so that I can get some peace in later life, and be able to rule my galaxy as best I can. This saga begins several years after the final battle between my people and the people of what they called the black moon. Life had settled down enough for us twilight girls, we were back at school, enjoying the prospect of normality for a little while. Darien and I were dating, and I was swooning every time he kissed me, his raven hair just tickling my nose every time. Amy was learning to control her new healing powers and Lita was helping, by getting hurt as often as possible. She was always into her Karate, or hockey, or some other form of physically demanding and painful 'sport'. Mina got her singing career back on track, and although we heard from her often, she wasn't around- not that we needed her. As for Rai- our poor, fiery Rai. I heard from her often, through the fires. I missed her most.

We kept ourselves busy with mundane life, moonlighting as our old superhero selves- the Sailor Scouts- occasionally as the need demanded. My powers grew, as did all the other girls, and we practiced outside of the realm, as often as we could, while also keeping up with the pretence we were human. 'Twas a hard job we had, but we loved it because it meant normalcy.

The morning of December 15th 2010 was nothing unusual in that we all woke to find each other's thoughts in our heads, discussing the new day ahead. But something was off. I felt it and told the others, but they didn't seem to think anything of it, telling me that it was my powers continuing to grow. At the young age of twenty I couldn't deny the fact, but stayed uneasy for hours later. I was right.

....

I foresaw a disturbance within the Earth realm, starting like that nasty feeling you get when you eat too many sweets and your stomach hurts. It began as a rift in the very fabric of time. I asked Pluto about it, and although she admitted she felt it too, the feeling soon passed, and she dismissed it, telling me that it was probably some 'magician' from the Middle Ages attempting a spell that was well beyond his or her powers. It happened often, she'd said. One minute you felt queasy, thinking someone or something was disrupting time itself, the next, the feeling passed and it was all over. "No harm done," Pluto assured me. She did say she was proud of me for being able to sense this disturbance, for no other Twilight Queen had begun to feel this sort of time magicks until she was well into her adulthood. No harm done. *I wish it were that simple* I had thought to myself. There was no way that disturbance was just a simple flickering of power from another age. I knew in my heart of hearts something was wrong, so I took to the spirit world for advice.

"Oh sacred flame, hear my call! I ask for the spirit of Rai to come forth and advise on matters of the Earth!" I called, knowing Rai's spirit was never far from me, always putting her two cents worth in. I wish she had lived, I wish she were here now, in the flesh, but she chose to stay in the realm of the dead, bridging a gap that we both knew was going to be needed in the future. It's funny how she always thought of the future or our kingdom.

Alright, guys, tell me what you think. I've had this one put away for a few years, and I've just started writing again. I have a few ideas for where this may head, but I need your help. I need a new enemy. Something we haven't seen before in the series. Any ideas?

Suggestions? Comments? Oh, and tell me if it's not worth continuing. I've got more to come....
