When I was young, I loved the stories of superheroes. Superheroes were perfect, and they always saved the day. My dream was to become a superhero.
Now I am one.
It didn't come by chance. I was destined, like so many others. The queen of the Moon Kingdom ordained the course of my life millennia ago.
My mission was, and still is, to protect the safety of life, no matter what.
A thousand years ago, I was a princess of a faraway planet named Astraea. Astraea is a word from an ancient language. It means justice and equality.
While Astraea was far from the central Moon Kingdom, it owed its security to Queen Serenity. The only price that Astraea had to pay was to let Serenity train its princess in the ways of a warrior, so that in times of need, the guardian of Astraea could fight against the forces of evil.
There were many other faraway planets where young princesses like me trained under the tutelage of the Queen. These five planets were called the Planets of Virtue, and were known across the galaxy for their kindness. They were known as Ananke, Planet of Destiny and Hope; Thalia, Planet of Joy and Love; Aglaia, Planet of Grace and Beauty; Themis, Planet of Truth and Righteousness, and Astraea, Planet of Justice and Wisdom.
Even after our training, when we were attacked by the darkness, everyone was shocked.
The dark powers ravaged our fertile lands, destroyed our people, and reduced the beautiful cities to rubble. At first, I, along with my counterparts, tried to fight against the darkness alone. We quickly realized that only by standing together could we avert the total destruction.
Sadly, we realized this too late.
Queen Serenity, her infinite wisdom, sacrificed herself so that we might live again, in another time and place far in the future, ever vigilant against the tide of darkness
