Prologue: How It all Begins
Entrinity
stood over looking the courtyard of the moon palace beside her
mother. Her long golden hair tied back in a half bun the rest
cascading down her back in a golden waterfall. Her sapphire blue eyes
sparkled happily as she spotted her twin sister, Serenity, running
about with the inner princesses. Entrinity glanced up at her mother
and sighed.
"Mother, this is ridiculous. May I please join the
others now?" she spoke calmly, attempting to hide her boredom and
hatred of having to go through royal protocol.
"Entrinity, I am
quite sure the others will be fine without you for now. Right now you
must finish with your training." Queen Serenity spoke softly
towards her daughter. Entrinity was the hotter headed of the twins:
outspoken, demanding, and headstrong. Hence, a force not to be
reckoned with. Entrinity and Queen Serenity had stopped seeing eye to
eye and rarely got along since her mother decided that Entrinity was
to go to Narcius for mage training. With Entrinity and Serenity
turning sixteen tomorrow and a royal ball to be held in honour of the
twins' birthday, everything was happening all at once.
"Screw,
royal protocol mother! I am not doing this! I'm sick of it! 6
months preparation and not once have I been able to spend time with
my family. You obviously don't see what this is doing to me. For
now I am going to spend time with my sister and enjoy my last few
days of 'freedom' before I am forced to leave." Entrinity
huffed and walked past her mother down towards where the girls where
playing. A rare look of distaste passed on Queen Serenity's
features and she turned away to see preparations for the ball.
"You
shouldn't be so cruel, Princess." A deep voice came out from
behind one of the many silver oak trees. Entrinity spun on her heel
and looked about but saw no one. Just a voice. Carrying on warily she
turned her back on the sapphire blue eyes, flames dancing in them as
she sped away.
"Sere,
I can't believe mother is doing this to us! She's sending me to
some unknown, undocumented planet for training, and she's hiring
some dirty Terran to watch you!" Entrinity fumed as she paced back
and forth in the large conjoining room between the twin's
bedchambers.
"Trinity, sweets, calm down. It won't be that
bad." Serenity addressed her sister, calmly.
"How can you be
so calm?" Entrinity demanded. "I am being shipped off, and you
have some filthy male watching you!"
"The Terrans are not all
filthy males, dear sister. Just because you hate the majority of
males besides those few charming ones..." Serenity
smiled.
"Charming? HA! If he so much as tou..." Entrinity was
interrupted with a knock on the large oak doors. "WHAT?"
"Princesses,
the guests are beginning to arrive. Your mother wishes to see you in
the ballroom, immediately." Luna's voice came through the
door.
"Yes Luna," Serenity opened the door and followed Luna
obediently while Entrinity just muttered and followed behind her
sister. Upon entering the room, trumpets blared as the twins were
announced. They greeted others with formality and protocol before
Entrinity walked over to her mother.
"I am not staying for this
so called celebration. I will have once dance and then I'm afraid
I'm going to pack," she growled.
"Fine, Entrinity, Don't
even bother with your dance. But at least wish Serenity a happy
birthday. I do not want her to be upset just because you are. You're
pushing your boundaries 'daughter'...just remember who I am."
Queen Serenity replied icily. Entrinity walked briskly over to where
Serenity stood with the four inner princesses.
"Happy birthday
Princess Entrinity," Princess Ami of Mercury stated coolly.
"Happy
Birthday, Entrin!" Lita, Princess of Jupiter smiled at her
friend.
"Trin! Happy Birthday!" Shouted Mina, the golden
blonde princess of Venus.
"Princess Entrinity, Happy Birthday,
your highness" Rei the princess of Mars said icily. Entrinity
glared at Ami and Rei not liking how they answered to her.
"Happy
birthday dear sister," Serenity smiled at her twin. Melting at her
twin's words, Entrinity smiled and hugged her sister.
"Happy
birthday Rena. I hope you enjoy it and many to come. I love you dear
sister." Entrinity wiped a tear from her face and left the group of
girls. All shared a puzzled look upon their faces as Entrinity walked
towards the staircase, blonde head low.
She would miss this place
she thought as she ran her hands along the silent walls that spoke so
many memories. One by one, she let them slip away, feeling cold and
barren inside. No one would get close to her ever again.
"Princess?
Are you alright?" She didn't expect anyone to follow, especially
not a male. Entrinity turned to look and saw a handsome young man
dressed all in black. He looked the type who wasn't invited. He
extended a gloved hand to her and without thinking took it. His deep
sapphire eyes bored into hers and she felt like she knew this man.
"I'm fine...who are you?" He took her into his arms and rocked
her gently, calming her slightly.
"I'm...a friend. A friend
who has come to help you get out of this mess. Please accept my help,
you won't regret it."
"We'll see...I must pack. I leave
in the morning..." Entrinity replied dazed.
"See you tomorrow
princess," the man whispered, vanishing before her very eyes.
Next morning
"Mother
why must I leave? My life is here! There is no threat to the throne
much less the universe so I can't understand why I have to go!"
Entrinity was adamant in not going and that headstrong side of her
was beginning to show.
"Because I am the queen and my word is
law! How dare you talk back to me! Your sister would never dream of
such a thing!" the queen replied. Something clicked in Entrinity's
brain, something dark and in connection with that man last night.
"Always about her. Perfection. Beauty. Love. She's got it all
hasn't she? Does she know I'm being sent away? Does she know how
you're being a cruel hearted bitch-"
"Entrinity
Alexandria!"
"-Who doesn't give a damn about her eldest
daughter? The true heir to the throne? Me. Not your precious perfect
daughter, but me." Entrinity's voice then took on a male's and
her eyes burned red.
'Don't worry princess. She will know when
she's deathly ill of the blood moon virus. Leave now.' the man's
voice from the night before whispered in her mind. A dark energy aura
flared around the elder princess, pushing the queen to believe that
her eldest daughter was being used by the dark kingdom.
"Princess
Entrinity Alexandria Sol, I Queen Serenity, forbid you to have
further contact with the Moon from this point forward. You are
stripped of your rightful titles and I forbid you to make contact
with Serenity in any way at all." Queen Serenity took a step back
as rage filled her daughter's eyes.
"You better make damn sure
I don't return your 'majesty'. Because when I do, you'll wish you
were never born. You may strip me of my title and ban me from this
galaxy and time. But you Queen Serenity stand no chance against me. I
will see my sister again whether she's dead or alive." Entrinity
hurried out of the room, half believing what she said and knowing
half of it was true.
The
teleporter was already equipped with her stuff and Entrinity closed
the door locked it and made the little ship blast off. Her mind was a
jumble and she fell to her knees crying.
"Help me," she
whispered.
"Let me help you." It was that same voice that had
whispered in her mind not only a few minutes before, only this time
the owner of said voice was standing before her. The same man from
last night. Entrinity didn't rise, she just continued crying as he
placed his hands on her head and made her scream out with
bloodcurdling pain.
