Author Comment: I hope you enjoy.
I wrote this when I was much younger and never published it. The
story has some twists and turns, but I always liked it. I hope everyone likes it
no matter how disjointed it gets.
********************************
A change had come over everything, and everyone. It was
something that had never been seen before. Every person in the great
city walked with his or her head down, leading into the depression
that the grey weather had plunged into throughout the last month. It
had not stopped raining, not since that day. The rain helped to hide
the tears of a certain few, and they alone knew the cause of the
flooding. They were all morning the loss of her, she had been their
salvation, their very lives. The day that she had gone had started
this evil darkness that had never before darkened the land of the
moon.
The attack had come on her birthday, the great celebration of
the princesses fifth birthday had rung through the solar system like
church bells. Everyone had come from every planet. Every royal
family had been their, and they had all been present at her birth.
The Queen Selenity had invited everyone to her daughters coming.
On the moon, the reaching of the age of five was an important
event. It came with the giving of the princesses' first royal power.
She would not be given, but shown a power that was already deep
within her. In time, without the gift, she would have found it
eventually, but this was a way of preparing her for the way ahead.
That gift had never been given to her.
While everyone watched the young maiden walk happily beside
her mother into the throne room, the whole room had smiled and felt
love in their hearts. She had been the most glorious of all the
princesses before her. She had long golden blonde hair that curled
perfectly at the ends. Her eyes had been bright and blue, a little
brighter than any other eyes seen before. It was like gazing into the
sky on the clearest day one could ever imagine on earth. She had
smooth milky skin, with rosy cheeks and a brilliant white smile. She
was beautiful, and was only five. Everyone knew that she would
grow into a woman even more beautiful than her esteemed mother, who
was at the moment considered the most beautiful of them all.
But that had been where the celebration had ended, and the
enormous crash and shattering of glass all around them had started the
angry advance of the evil army. Selenity had run with the other royal
families towards the battle. The moon was the leader of all the
planets, and therefore everyone had no scruple in helping them. But
one thing went astray when the fighting began, and that was the
whereabouts of the young princess.
It had been the young earth prince Darien, who was at that
time eleven and had been engaged to the moon princess since the moment
she had been born. He had been the first to look around and then yell
out in fear. The moon Queen had come running, after her kingdom had
been safely protected. There was no trace of evil left, she had been
sure. But at the yell of the young prince, she had felt dread wash
through her entire body.
"She's gone," Prince Darien had whispered in anguish, running to
the queen. "They've taken her, the man in black." It was at the
moment that the turn of events revealed itself to everyone else in the
room. An immediate search was sent out, and the whole castle was
turned upside down. But the princess was not to be found, and none of
her other belongings missing. It was realised that her capture had
been the main idea behind the attack. They all feared the worst.
Hope was not forgotten, and the search went throughout the
planets for years to come. Every royal family employed everyone they
could spare to find the princess, but to no avail. She was lost, and
feared to be lost forever.
