Silence.

This is my world, my home. I am not only the planet of death and destruction, but the emptiness which fills the universe between, the blackness . . . the Silence. I am . . . this Silence.

My name is Hotaru Tomoe. Otherwise known as the Soldier of Destruction, the Black Star, Sailor Saturn . . .

I am . . . The Emptiness in your soul. I am that gaping mouth in your heart that threatens to swallow all the light of your personality. I am the Black Hole of your immortal soul.

Silence . . . My world, my home.

Blackness. The color of my heart and soul. But I am not an empty husk. My name is my light, Hotaru Tomoe. The girl I used to be, before I awakened. She sleeps in me, keeping my heart from succumbing. Someday, when my duties are through, I'll become her again.

Blackness . . . I am the blackness. I am the blackness in the human soul. In the animal and plant souls, as well. Every soul . . .

What is light?

. . . . . Is it something I should fear? That might wipe me out someday? Am I so dark that I would be weak to the light?

What, truly, is darkness?

. . . . . . . . . . I am darkness, I know. I am the ultimate darkness. The ultimate BLACK . . .

Blackness . . . . Light . . . The pale moon shimmers in the distance . .

Oh, the darkness. . . I know my destiny.

My destiny is the stars, and the blackness between.

Because I am . . . The Soldier of Silence . . .

Sailor Saturn.
