Plant Mercury, third planet from the capital13:10 Earth time
Second day after Earth's Winter Solstice10365 S.A.
__________________________________________
The shuttle slowly wasting the last of its fuel lowered itself on the stone platform. As the dust cleared the shuttle's space torn doors opened with a sound of air being released from the door hinges, two shadows stepped into the crowd barely noticed. They watched their surrounds and the people that passed them. One of them sneezed.
"Here have my tissue," said a man passing by, turned to see nothing.
" We are obviously in Mercurial territory, the politeness is sickening."
" You just don't like people giving you attention, like being in the shadows,no?"
The shadows stepped to the edge of one platform. Gazing upon the city ahead both shadows stood breathless. The city was the capital of the planet but just as big as all the others on the planet. The shuttle towers stood tall and skinny, the great library to the far right of the city, the research center to the north, and the war/peace center to the south, in-between the important buildings where different sizes of homes, eateries and businesses. Yet the most maverolous site was the grand castle Mariner.
Adorned with a brilliant blue dome and sided with sand stone colored pointed towers creating the support for the palace. All other buildings were fashioned the same way except the domes ranged in the colors of blue and the sides were smooth, the under city though was housed with crystal homes.
Mercury is a desert planet, but it has a giant supply of water under the ground so the cities have a terrain level and a sub-ter level. The main reason for this water was the planet's power force.
"So shall we go pick up our package?" said the second shadow.
" Looks like it."
They entered the palace unharmed. Not because Mercury was peaceful, when war came they were warriors but other wise the people were civilized and well mannered. It was perhaps that the guards noticed the insignia that held the shadow's cloaks together. Soon they were to be meet by the king of Mercury himself King Pluie head of the Mercurial Royal family. For all the planets ot the system except Earth had the same ruling family since The Great Journey. No planet dared to have a civil war but of course they still fought with each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The King wore his elegant blue almost satin like coat that reached to the floor and underneath he wore his white leather pants. Across his chest he wore a white band that displayed several medals for science, politics, and war. Mercurials almost never wore their crowns unless occasion called for it. Today was not that day. He moved a piece of his jet-black hair from falling in his face and smoothed it back. Royal blue eyes scanned the shadows. Slowly he stood from his throne and bowed to the shadows. For as a Mercurial it was only proper edict to bowe to ones with higher elemental powers or as it would be said on earth "magic".
"Please sir, we no longer consider ourselves royals,only senshi, bowing is un nessacary, we are but warriors for the Alliance."
"Of course, forgive me, Sailor Uranus and Neptune. I believe you are here to pick my..the queen's package up" stated the king with a mixture of sadness and sarcasim.
"Please wait for a moment."
" Sir, we do have three other planets to go to." Neptune huffed
" What my fellow solider means is Mercury should have been waiting for us."
