Author's Notes: This is the introduction to my Sailor Moon story, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon: Genesis. It's basically just a tease. ;) If you'd like to learn more about Genesis, you can find character sheets and more at Kiara-Genesis deviantART.

Wake up.

Wake up, Usagi.

It is time.

The world needs you.

Please Usagi!

You must wake up!

It was black as night. I couldn't see anything. There were no stars, no light to guide myself with. All I felt was cold, as if my blood was frozen in my veins. There were no sounds - just a voice, echoing out of the darkness. The power in that voice was terrifying. I couldn't move, couldn't bring myself to do what that voice demanded. I just wanted to sleep. Let me sleep.

Wake up, Princess. There's no reason to fear me. I only wish to help.

You must wake up! You must save everyone!

It is your destiny.

In a flash, I remembered it all. Mamoru, my guards, the future we had seen... Chibiusa. The ice age. I was Sleeping Beauty, waking up after a thousand years of ice and stillness. A warm glow started in my heart, and I knew what I had to do.

"Moon Eternal MAKE UP!"
