Okay, so it is really bad of me to start a new story with all the others I have to finish, but I'm working on it! ^_~ Anyway, this is my second SM/YGO x-over and I hope you like it! ^_^
"Ack, life up here is so boring," complained the odango haired hime of the moon as she absentmindedly wondered through the silver halls of the lunar palace. She glanced about her at the delicately painted paintings that hung upon the silver walls, silvery golden hair flowing at her sides, silvery white gown fluttering around her dainty feet.
"What do you mean by that hime," asked a girl who walked along side the cerulean-eyed princess.
"There's nothing to do, there is only endless silver and beauty, however pretty this place may be there is nothing to do," replied the princess.
"I think prince Endymion's visits have had a nasty effect on you princess Serenity," replied the girl.
"Hai, Maakyurii, I believe they have," Serenity sighed and, striding past her short blue haired blue eyed friend, leaned on one of the window sills that lined one wall of the hall they occupied. She then glanced wistfully outwards towards the blue and green planet covered with swirling, pearly white mist.
"What's wrong dear Serenity, I sense there is something troubling you," Maakyurii asked concerned as she stood be her friend.
Serenity bit her lower lip gently before replying, "I have heard that the country of Egypt has distaste for us and the lunar kingdom, and I just want to know why," Serenity then stood up and turned back to her friend, "I have to know."
"And what do you plan to do if you do learn hime?" Maakyurii looking seriously into her friend's eyes concerned for her safety, she was one of the people that knew Serenity best. She knew that if Serenity wanted to know something she'd go to any lengths to get it. Maakyurii was concerned as to the lengths that this girl would stretch herself too in order to find out whether Egypt despised the moon or not, and if so why?
"I plan to fix whatever may be wrong if there was something," she replied a frown plastering itself across her fair features.
"Serenity I know about this matter," Serenity's eyes widened at this confession edging her friend to tell her more, "and yes, they do despise us, or more like they don't trust us. You see only the guardian royal family are aloud through are gates and they think that you're hiding something."
"But we're not," Serenity protested.
Maakyurii took Serenity's hands in her own and raised them to eye level, "I know that hime, but they don't and that is the problem, it is they that need to be convinced not I." Serenity's eyes became crystals as pearly white tears threatened to fall from the now deep blue depths.
"I understand Maakyurii," Serenity replied nodding to her friend whipping gently at her eyes to remove them of the sorrow that was held in her heart. She had read the ancient texts, of how there had once been a war between Earth and the Moon and how it had taken a huge sacrifice to destroy the destruction that was taking place. The texts failed to record that sacrifice however, but they did say of how not all of Earth trusted the Moon and likewise. That only the Moon's royal family and the guardian family from Earth had conversed.
A few hours later, after Serenity had eaten dinner and her friends had said their farewells and headed home to their own planets, Serenity was lying on her bed in her nightgown. Gazing up at the ceiling she couldn't help but wonder what Earth was like; to be brutally honest she hadn't ever been there. She was engaged to the prince of that world and yet she hadn't even seen what his home was like. Her thoughts then moved onto what Maakyurii had told her and what to do about Egypt.
An idea flew through her mind as realisation dawned on her; if you want to fix a problem you do it yourself. This was something she'd have to do on her own, she had often talked to her mother about the parts of Earth that disliked the Moon but her mother had discarded it and said that it would all be sorted soon. But some of these talks had commenced over a year ago and still nothing had been done. This was Maakyurii greatest fear; that Serenity would decide to go to Earth and to try to fix this problem herself. Although Maakyurii trusted her friend's judgement she didn't agree that this was the best method to use.
Scrambling off of her white linen and silk-coated bed she ran to her wardrobe to find something suitable. She all but ran to the back for the wardrobe was more of a hall than anything else. At the back she found a white robe with two arm straps, a brown rope belt and the skirt reached the knees. Changing quickly she went to her vanity table and picked out an armband, which she slid onto her upper right arm and some bangles, three on each wrist and one per ankle.
Twirling for herself she decided she liked the way she looked, she knew what the people of Egypt wore, Endymion had sometimes brought her books form Earth which she had read many times. Taking one last glance in the mirror she was about to leave when she saw the mark on her forehead, the emblem of the moon, a golden right side up crescent shaped moon. With a wave of her hand and flick for the wrist, a shimmer of silver lights and the mark was gone. Grinning at her reflection she made her way silently through the palace to the gate, through the kingdom to the temple of teleportation.
Once there she grabbed a handful of spices and ground herbs form the offering basket out front and proceeded to the inner chambers. Seeing the silvery fire that burned there she threw upon it the sweat smelling offering, clasping her hands and closing her eyes she chanted an incantation.
"Tsuki no Hikari, take me to Egypt no Earth," and in a flash of silvery light and gold flashes the hime of the moon was gone.
---Planet Mercury---
Maakyurii sat straight up in bed, she had a bad feeling about something that she couldn't quite point, 'I'll have to ask Marusu in the morning,' she concluded. With that closing thought Maakyurii, the princess of Mercury drifted back to an uneasy sleep.Okay, so that was it! Please R&R! ^_~
Maakyurii = Mercury
Marusu = Mars
