Disclaimer: Nothing is mine *creys*
Billions of years ago, before time began and when the universe was young, there was a great nothingness, from which neither light or dark could exist. Deep in the heart of this nothingness laid the Galaxy Cauldron, located in the Sagittarius Zero Star at the centre of the Milky Way. It was the place where worlds began and stars were born.
From inside this great source of living energy flew ten points of light. These lights, called Star Seeds, travelled far and long, for thousands, perhaps millions of years, until they reached the fledging planetary system we know as The Solar System. Drawn to these great orbiting bodies, each Star Seed planted itself deep in the heart of one of the planets drifting around the sun.
To Mercury came a crystal of aquamarine; To Venus a crystal of topaz, Mars a crystal of ruby red, Jupiter emerald green. To Saturn a shard of onyx, Uranus a piece of sapphire, Neptune a blue-green opal, Pluto an amethyst, to Earth a crystal of shining gold, but the most precious crystal of all went to Earth's sister planet, the Moon. It shone with silver light, a light brighter and more pure than all the other crystals combined, spreading across the galaxy, and from this light, combining with the light of the nine other crystals, were born nine figures, each a beautiful young woman who emerged from a crystalline bubble, hovering over the surface of the planet.
On Mercury, she came clothed in a dress of ice crystals and frost. Her skin was as pale as the snowy flowers that formed with every gentle step, her blue eyes gleaming with a vast intelligence.
Next was Venus, in a flash of yellow and orange. Her dress of molten metal and long golden hair rippling in the sulfuric air, an aura of love radiated strongly from her every pore and she gazed at the life blossoming all around her.
Mars burst forth in a wreath of flame with a bow and arrow in her hand. The passion in her heart made the volcanoes on the planet's surface erupt into jets of lava and smoke.
Jupiter crashed down on the gas giant in a burst of thunder and lightning. Great forests of trees sprouted at her will, twisting together into canopies of impossible greenness in the golden core of the vaporous planet.
Saturn emerged in a cloud of deep purple fog, her footsteps making no sound. Everything that grew on Saturn died and was reborn even stronger and purer than before, for only death can bring rebirth. Saturn soon fell into a deep slumber, locked a fortress of onyx until the day came to cleanse the galaxy, her power too great to handle.
Uranus, in a blast of tornado-like wind and roiling clouds soared into being, blowing the essence of power across her gassy home. A great air of strength flowed from Uranus as she took her post as the first guardian of the outer rim.
Neptune floated on a wave of elegance and unparalleled grace, taking her place as the second guardian of the outer rim. Seas and lakes formed at her feet, so blue and pure that it in legend they possessed the power to heal the sick and injured.
Pluto, stationed on the very edge of the Solar System, became the final outer rim guardian, and the keeper of the Gate of Time. Clothed in the blackness of space itself, she looked out towards the blooming of the new era, content to stand resolute at the very edge, watching and protecting.
Finally, the Earth and the Moon developed in tandem. The Moon, more beautiful, more pure than all the other worlds combined, sheathed in the light of a million stars, bearing a silver stone pulsing with energy. This stone, known as the Imperium Silver Crystal, would bind the destinies of all who would come to be born in the age of peace to come. This age would be called The Silver Millennium, ruled on high by the Moon Kingdom, an alliance between the planets to ensure prosperity for all.
However, the people of Earth did not trust the people of the Moon. They refused the take part in The Silver Millennium, believing they had no need of the help offered by the other nine planets. The Queen of the Moon tried to reason with the King of Earth, but to no avail, and thus contact with the Earth, now under the silent protection of their sister moon, became strictly forbidden.
As the Earth and the Moon try to mend their tenuous relationship, a young girl sits at her window, bathed in the light of the Earth, dreaming of adventure on the blue-green planet outside the walls of the Moon Palace, and that is where our story begins…
