The Beginning
~They're coming ... our end is soon.~ The voice was filled with sadness and regret. Sad for what was and what could have been. Regret that she did not foresee the end until it was too late to stop it. Yet the steel of duty was also present in the voice and it rang strongly. The listener knew that the end would not come without a fight.
~What are your orders, my Queen?~
~You are, and are not, a part of this court. Your position will save you from our fate. You must become the Watcher.~
~The Watcher?~
~Yes. Watch and Remember, Watch and Learn, Watch and Protect. There will come a time where you will once again be needed.~
~I hear and obey, Highness.~
There was nothing more the Watcher could say. Sending a wordless goodbye on a wave of emotion, the Watcher withdrew from the Queen's thoughts and from a perch of safety, watched the fall of the Silver Millenium.
Time passed, years turning to decades which in turn passed into centuries and the Watcher kept the promise made to Queen Serenity. The Watcher watched, learned and remembered. One day she felt tug from the Earth. A spark of something familiar. A bond reborn.

Well, I hope you guys liked the intro ... I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to write the next couple of chapters properly ... just have an outline.
Dedication: My thanks to Jewel and Lady_Goddess_Serenity for demanding that I write this story. They think I have great ideas and were unselfish enough to believe that I should share them with everybody instead of just helping with theirs. This is for you, guys ... Hope I don't disappoint you.
Please read and Review. Flames are okay, moronic comments are not. ;)
