I present to you, she who has brought peace to our Galaxy at last, Princess Kaguya!" Luna called out.
Kaguya stood and was crowned by her two advisors, refugees from the now fallen planet Mau. A place ravaged by something called 'Chaos'. A shadow crossed the dark Princess face, but passed. In her rule she would be sure to join the Heaven's factions in an Alliance. As the music began and she was pulled into a dance, even she started to forget that this was her coronation party.
But so did they all. For one moment in history, the Mercurians with their powerful healing powers did not argue against the warlike Jovians, who hailed as the Grigori, and had a much more warlike way of dealing with things. No, it was something about the Moon itself that quieted the dispute to a dull roar. Enemies became rivals and rivals became friends.

For a cosmic deity to come down from the heavens to the blood soaked earth was a crime. Kaguya knew this. And yet she could not help it. The moonlight touched the earth, and she also touched it, tears falling for the human race. It was snowing, but the ground still ran red with blood.
She called upon her wings to make themselves invisible. It would be best if no one knew what she was.
Goddess, Goddess, it echoed in her head. Make this world clean. Stop the bloodshed.
She stared up at the glowing orb that was the clear full moon, her spirit home. "Are you telling me to rescue a planet with no star?"
Its star waits for you. It needs your nurturing, Kaguya.
Her long dark hair pooled at her feet as she stepped onto the balcony. Her eyes, echoing the moon in appearance and glow, suddenly turned toward the door.
Her body shrank and she became tiny, the size of bamboo.
Little Bamboo.
What an odd name she would have.
