For a long time, the Moon Kingdom, Silver Millennium, and several countries on Earth have been at war. The rulers of the Silver Millennium and their one ally on the Earth, the great kingdom of Egypt, have decided to meet, something that has not happened in years, Queen Serenity and her daughter Princess Serenity had soon arrived at the Pharaoh's palace. It was Princess Serenity's first time on the Earth and everything amazed her.
The world was full of color and life, something that the Moon seemed to lack. They were lead to the Great Hall where the Pharaoh, his Queen, and their only son, Prince Atem, waited. Atem and Serenity were near the same age though Atem was a few months older. He was standing near his mother, looking at the Queen of the Moon. She had long white hair that was in two buns on the top of her head then fell down to the floor in piggy tails, light gray eyes and a gold crescent moon on her forehead. She wore a long, tight white dress without sleeves or straps that went down to the floor and made a small pool of cloth around her feet, a gold crescent moon on a bow, and had thin, white wings on her back.
Princess Serenity looked almost the exact same, though her hair was more of a gold color, she was much smaller than her mother, and she wore a different dress. Her dress was like white satin with a large white silk bow in the back, puffy sleeves, and gold trim and embroidery along the neckline of the dress. Looking at Atem, Serenity noticed that he looked near to his father, the same dark brown hair and kind expression, but he had his mother's warm brown eyes. He wore traditional Egyptian clothes, a white tunic with a gold string around his waist, a gold collar, and long gold bands around his lower legs, then white slippers.
Prince Atem looked at Princess with a curious stare, trying to see the comparison between her and her mother. The stare made Serenity blush and hide behind her mother. Atem looked away from the scared Princess and towards what the Queen and his parents were talking about.
"Hello Pharaoh, Queen Nyna. It is nice to finally visit again." Queen Serenity greeted formally in the Egyptian language. The Pharaoh nodded at her with a smile and Queen Nyna's face lit up.
"It is wonderful to see you as well Queen Serenity." Nyna replied and stood up, walking over to the queen of the Moon Kingdom before giving her a hug. "I missed you, my friend." Queen Serenity nodded and gave her friend a hug. Atem tilted his head a little to the side again. He knew his mother and Queen Serenity were friends, but it still surprised him. Princess Serenity poked her head from behind her mother to look at the other woman in the room. Queen Serenity looked down at her daughter as Nyna returned to sit on the smaller throne near her husband's.
"Oh, this is my daughter, Princess Serenity." The small girl gave a small, shy wave.
"H-Hello." She was still new to learning the Egyptian language, but she was fluent enough to communicate with the Egyptian people. Atem gave a small smile as his father looked up at him.
"It's nice to meet you Princess, this is my son, Prince Atem." The Pharaoh introduced and Atem gave a brighter smile and a small bow to her to show respect.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Princess Serenity." Atem told her in a respectful tone. The Pharaoh smiled at the two, but noticed that Atem was looking a bit pale. The prince was trying not to show how sick he truly felt.
"Atem, why don't you and Serenity go play?" He offered and Atem nodded, relieved that he could get away, even for a little bit. He stepped down and showed Serenity to a room with many games.
"You can... choose which game we can play." He told her and looked around the room before his eyes settled on Serenity.
"Oh... um... thank you Prince Atem." He smiled at her and shook his head.
"You can call me Atem, since that is my name after all." She nodded, a bit of blush coming to her cheeks. He really was cute and polite. Venus would want to hear everything that happened when she got back. But Serenity pushed that thought away and looked around at the different games, not noticing Atem hiding a cough. When she finally picked one she looked over at him.
"What about this one?" She asked and he smiled while walking over to her.
"That' is a fun game. I will teach you how to play." He pulled the game out and sorted the blocks while showing her how to play the game. They had a practice round before they actually played the game so Serenity could get the hang of it. They lost track of time while they played, but Atem only felt worse and worse until he started seeing spots all over his vision and felt really light headed.
"Atem? Are you alright?" Serenity asked him. He opened his mouth to say he was fine, but only a cough came out. Isis ran into the room and to her Prince's side.
"Oh no! It's happening again as I foresaw!" She looked at Serenity. "Can you keep an eye on him? I must get the Pharaoh and the Queen." Serenity gave a small nod and Isis ran out of the room and to where the Pharaoh, his Queen, and Queen Serenity was. She told them what happened and they ran to the game room. The Pharaoh held the now unconscious Atem in his arms.
"Oh my son… why didn't you tell me you were not feeling well?" He muttered and looked at Queen Serenity. "I am sorry that we must cut this visit short…" Queen Serenity nodded in understanding. "I understand Pharaoh, let me know what happens and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask." She gave a small bow and looked at Serenity. "Come Serenity." And with that, they left, back to the moon. They hadn't known each other for long, but Serenity couldn't help but worry for the Egyptian prince...
I hope he'll be alright... but I guess only time will tell... Serenity thought to herself as she walked through the palace to her room. She sat on her bed and looked out of her window and looked at the Earth, her mind wandering freely until she ended up falling asleep.
