Sailor Moon Chaos
History
By Elvish Vamp and Silent Angel

Many years ago, before even Sailor Pluto and the time-space continuum existed, there was balance. This balance brought life to all living things under the guise of the galaxy's cauldron. New stars and planets were born out of it, and began to flourish. Over the ages, cycles of wars and peace, life and death, hope and despair began to run together. The balance was becoming sentient, and wanted to join these cycles; it wanted to watch the races learn and die out, only to learn again. Little by little it created a vessel with which to contain it's essence. After over a thousand eons it finally had created a body that could pass through and change slightly to match the current way of the human species.

Humans were an amazing species for the balance to study. Never before had a species managed to adapt to the changing of the seasons (For as the balance knew, each race's seasons were only mimes of the real seasons of Birth, Understanding, Acceptance, and Death.) and continue to grow, taking less and less time to regain it's former power. Given even two or three more years (Years had only passed when the four seasons had been completed.) the human race might even challenge the season of death. The balance sincerely did not want this, because then it would have to destroy the poor beings. However, their insistence to live gave it the perfect body to form. As a human it would not be obtrusive to any others.

The night between Death and Birth came, and at the stroking hour, it filled the girl's body and thus created the first Sailor Senshi. At the void between times when all things would hide, and yet still be killed ruthlessly by the bringer of death, a power swept through the time. A girl soldier cut through the remnants of the last world with her scythe, and died. She was reborn, the second Senshi to appear from this power propelled into motion by the balance.

Deep in a system not even the balance penetrated, a woman with long green hair and a black fuku was waiting. She had been brought to life by the power, and understood her duty. She would maintain the position the balance had held for so long, and prevent the cycle from being disrupted.

Several centuries later a woman stumbled into Selenity's palace requesting sanctuary.

"Sanctuary! Sanctuary!" It wasn't often that Kagami was reduced to begging, but then again, it wasn't often that you were the most sought out person in the universe for information you didn't even know. Almost instantly she was brought by escort to be brought to the queen's room. 'I'm a mess.' The years of running had finally taken their toll, dulling the shine of her hair and eyes and leaving a haggard look to her appearance. Finally her escorts stopped, allowing her a few moments to compose herself outside of Selenity's bedchamber. She smiled in gratitude at the Sailor Senshi next to her, who also smiled, but reassuringly. Taking several deep breathes, she stepped inside.

Inside the room shone with the light that was Selenity and her daughter. "What wong?" The princess immediately rushed over, tripping over her gown. It was still hard for her four-year-old body to adjust to the clothing she was put in each morning. Kagami smiled and patted the young girl's head. It had been a long time since such closeness had brought anything but pain. She glanced back up to meet Selenity's gaze.

"I need a place to stay. There are people and other... things after me. I don't have any idea why. They just keep talking about a balance." The princess, not understanding the seriousness of the situation, laughed and pulled on Kagami's arm.

"Let's go! I want to show you my room!"

The queen smiled at the two. "Go ahead. My daughter seems quite taken with you. You may stay as long as you like, but they might find you."

"Is there anything you can do to stop them?"

"I'll try. Go enjoy yourself."

During the years that past, the princess grew to be even more beautiful than her mother. She had long blonde hair done up in two buns on the side of her head, along with wide crystalline blue eyes. She had many friends and courtiers. Always though was her best friend by her side. Kagami had also grown up, but time was slowed tremendously for her. The only signs of time's passage were her attitude having become more playful under the princess's influence and several silvery streaks in her hair. No one took these as signs of aging however, because the silver shone more wonderfully than the rest of the gold that was her hair.

Only a year later she left. The only reminder that she had ever even arrived yelling 'sanctuary' so many years ago was a large ornate mirror. This mirror was hidden deep within the royal chambers where not even the queen set foot after it's creation. So long as this mirror remained, the balance was protected. Nothing could really 'destroy' Kagami, nor could it sense her life force.

Kagami's disappearance hurt the princess, but her place was filled in by the senshi from the surrounding planets. No one knew the true reason for her departure save for ten senshi. All but one existed on the dark side of the moon. All avoided that side, so the senshi were left in peace to protect Queen Selenity's second daughter. One of these senshi was Kagami. None of these senshi, including the youngest princess, the princess of the moon's shadow, should have existed. Unfortunately, the human race's will to survive brought them into existence. When the moon kingdom was destroyed they also left for Earth, in search of their princess who had died along with her sister. Their story begins with chaos's defeat.
