Worlds Apart

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own Sailor Moon or any other characters.

Summery: Serenity is a feisty independent woman sold into a world of slavery where woman are treated no more than a dishrag. Endymion is the Prince of Earth, arrogant, cocky and used to having his way. Fate brings them together as Serenity is sold into Endymion's palace as a mere servant girl...

"Sire!" a soldier shouted as he came bursting through the doors, "our enemies have started to attack!" he panted, clutching his sword as he waited for the King to speak.

The King of the White Moon stared at the exhausted soldier, then calmly stood up from his throne. "...Alarm the troops."

"Yes Your Majesty." the soldier whirled and ran through the doors.

"My love," the Queen said softly as she reached for his hand, "What are we going to do?" Fear clutched her heart for what was ahead.

"...We fight." the King whispered. He knew this day was coming, ever since he refused to betroth Serenity to the Dark Kingdom. By God, Serenity was only one year old, how could he make such a promise especially to King Claudius, imagine the life his poor daughter would have with someone like Diamond.

Flashback

"Ah, my dear King of the Moon." King Claudius stepped into the palace doors, arms outstretched.

"What do you want Claudius." King Lucas said narrowing his eyes.

"Now is that nice?" King Claudius smugly said. "Well my dear King I came to do you a favor. I know your Kingdom is having a bit of a problem right now and I came to undo that."

"...What are you talking about." King Lucas replied.

"Well you are having a bit of a problem with convincing the Golden Kingdom to become your allies are you not? Well I was thinking that we combine our troops and Kingdoms to make them think otherwise. I am willing to give up my son Diamond so that both of our Kingdoms live in victory." King Claudius said with a devious smile.

"You want me to betroth my daughter to Diamond?" King Lucas replied suspiciously. "..And what do you gain from this, Claudius?"

King Claudius's eyes narrowed, but then broke when he smiled arrogantly. "That the Golden Kingdom bows down to me, superior over them and adding another victory in my pocket."

"...Are you mad? There is much more to this than victory over another Kingdom. I have my people to think about Claudius! Unlike you I care about my peoples' welfare and only want what's best for them. Not to just have a pocketful of victories. Now if you're done Claudius, I trust that you know where the doors are." King Lucas stated as he stared hard at Claudius, his eyes never wavering.

King Claudius was silent, rage filling him as he clenched his hands until they were white. "You have no idea what you've just done Lucas. Mark my words King," he spat the words like it was venom, "You will regret what you just said to me. You just put your Kingdom in grave danger." King Claudius backed out slowly, his eyes never leaving Lucas. Turning towards the door he stormed through it, shouting his last words "You'll regret this! Watch your back Lucas!"

End flashback...

The doors were kicked open, the Dark Kingdom soldiers stormed in. King Lucas drew his sword, "Melanie! Quickly! Take all the women and children and head underground!" he shouted as he sank his sword into the soft flesh of a soldier.

With his wife gone, King Lucas felt better knowing that Melanie would be safe at least if something were to happen to him. He knew that King Claudius was sloppy and un-cautious when it came to war, he could easily win but Claudius was unpredictable.

The dining doors burst open, standing was King Claudius, his sword drawn, his face splattered with blood and his ignorant smile properly placed. "King Lucas, what a pleasure it is to see you again." his words dripped with hatred as he clutched his sword tighter.

"Claudius, you're just about the same as always, drenched in innocent peoples' blood I see." Lucas spat out turning towards his enemy. With an enraged growl, Claudius swung his sword aiming for Lucas.

With quick reflexes, Lucas easily blocked the attack, his swings were swift and smooth while Claudius blinded by rage were sloppy and uncontrolled.

Growling with frustration, Claudius managed to nip Lucas's shoulder. "I dreamt of this day, the day where you kneel before me and beg for forgiveness." he held his sword with both hands as his eyes narrowed.

"Keep dreaming Claudius, you and I both know you are no match for me." Lucas said, circling Claudius. But what surprised Lucas was when Claudius started to laugh.

"...Perhaps, but I already won this war.."

"What are you talking about." Lucas said with true confusion. Just as he said those words, Melanie ran through the doors.

"Lucas! Serenity...she's gone!" exclaimed the tearful Queen. Lucas turned to see that same smug smile on Claudius' face. With a new feeling of hatred, Lucas swung his sword colliding with Claudius' sword managing to send it flying across the floor. With that, Lucas grabbed Claudius shirt bring him closer until their faces were almost touching.

"Where is she Claudius?!" Lucas shouted with such hatred he never knew he could possess. His question was met with laughter.

"You'll never find her."

Unable to take it anymore, Lucas sank his sword into Claudius' stomach, ending his life but also ending any clues as to where his daughters whereabouts were. The remaining Dark Kingdom soldiers scrambled towards the door fearing for their lives as they had just witnessed their Kings' demise.

Seething, Lucas threw his sword catching the back of one of the soldiers. "Kill them all!" he shouted, his heart breaking as he thought of his lost daughter. Finally drained and suddenly exhausted, he collapsed. Queen Melanie rushed over in tears, she clutched her husband and cried for the daughter they might never see again.

Meanwhile

Panting he clutched the little Princess to his chest as he ran for his life. He didn't know how far he was from the Moon Kingdom yet he still ran as if the devil himself was at his heels. The Dark Kingdom soldier was ordered to go in disguised as a Moon soldier and steal the baby before his troops got there.

At first he was successful as he made it past the front doors but soon was caught and that's when he started to run. Now as he was growing tired and had no idea which way he was going he knew he would soon slow to a stop, but not yet...not yet.

Suddenly his foot got caught in a branch and he came crashing down. Serenity tumbled out of his arms and rolled into the darkness. "Shit." he whispered. There was no way he would be able to find her in time with just the moonlight guiding him. He considered his options, but then heard the distinct rhythmic beating of the horses hoofs. "Screw it" He scrambled to his feet and started running again.

Serenity, whom had been sleeping all this time was never awoken due to the soft pile of leaves that broke her fall.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"The Moon is really beautiful," a fisherman whispered to no one in particular. Every year when he made enough money he would visit the Moon. He was originally from Earth but liked to explore the Moon for he was sure there were many places he had yet to discover.

Unfortunately he had no one to share his adventures with, no wife, no daughters nor sons as well as no relatives. He sighed, he was used to being alone, but once in a while the loneliness would be too much to bear and he would find himself deeply depressed.

A flash of white caught his eyes, he stood up, curious as to what that was. Walking closer he saw that it moved. Startled he took a step back before he proceeded to go closer. Gasping in shock he can now see that it was a little girl. He looked around, saw no one and carefully picked up the girl. Her tiny lips opened to a yawn, her eyes never opening.

He looked around once again and saw no one, finally coming to the conclusion that the child was abandoned. Then a smile slowly appeared, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on." he whispered softly to her. "You'll be alright...Selene." he said with finality.

I think that's a good place to end for chapter one. . Tell me what you think so far. I'll probably get back to writing chapter two tonight, but for right now I think I'll take a break. Thanks for reading.
