Welcome to the first chapter of Sailor Earth! This takes place during/after Usagi's dream in the beginning of the first episode, for time references. I hope you enjoy this and I'll see you at the end of the chapter!

Prologue: Earth Kingdom

~Silver Millenium~

Terre stood in the shadows of the castle's sweeping gardens, watching her older brother, the ruler of an entire kingdom, whisper and hold someone forbidden to him. His black hair, much like her own, was shining in the light of the moon that bore the woman he loved, the woman he could never—should never—have.

She was Serenity XIV, Princess of the Moon Kingdom. A year older than herself, Serenity had long, golden hair that she kept tied in a peculiar fashion consisting of pigtails leading out of buns atop her head and curling at the ends. Despite her young age, she had a tall, curved figure, and the sheer clothes worn by her people drew attention to her flawless body. She wore pearly heeled shoes on her feet, but she was still much shorter than Endymion, who was tall even by Moon standards. Her eyes, a shade of blue lighter than Terre's own, sparkled with an affection the Earth princess had yet to feel.

In a way, Terre was jealous of them. How must it feel, to know who you other half was? To know, everyday when you woke up, that someone loved you the same way you loved them?

Despite this, Terre was also wary of Serenity. The Moon Kingdom was matriarchal, and, as far as she knew, the princess was the only heir to the throne. Even if the two kingdoms managed to reconcile the differences for which reasons were still unknown and allowed their people to intermingle once more, one of them would be forced to give up their kingdom.

And it would probably be Endymion.

Terre watched until Serenity bade her lover goodbye, floating back up to the stars in a wayward moonbeam. Endymion stayed still, watching until he could see her no longer, before he turned to return to his rooms.

"Terre."

She jumped, guiltily coming out of her hiding place, the green fabric of her sleeping gown whispering across the cobblestone walkway of the gardens. "I apologize, brother. I was not aware you would be out here."

Endymion sighed, motioning for his sister to come to him. "I know what you must be thinking; I am insane for loving her. I cannot help it." He looked moon-wards, and, somehow, he knew Serenity was looking towards Earth, as well. "She is my everything."

"My tutor says that kind of devotion is reckless," Terre said.

Endymion chuckled. "Your tutor is a bitter woman whose husband left her for a woman half his age."

"You will never be able to marry her and remain Earth's king."

"We'll find a way, my dear sister. True love always finds a way." He placed his large hands on her slim shoulders, propelling her towards the castle. "Now, the sun is beginning to rise, and we will be expected to be up shortly after. Off to bed with you, if only for appearances."

And Terre decided her brother was too happy to be reasoned with and did as he bade.

And there you have it! I know the prologue's kinda boring, since it's mostly Terre (Kagome)'s internal thoughts, but these thoughts will be important later on, especially in regards to Kagome's love interest. I hope you'll stick around. See you in the next chapter!
