Soul Mates
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon and that includes the characters too.
Story is A/U. It's a work of fiction so it doesn't fit within a historical time period. Sere/Dare and some Raye/Jadeite (Jay)
UPDATE: This fic has gone through major reconstruction; a lot of new additions in chapters and hopefully my spelling and grammar is fixed. If you see a problem don't hesitate to drop me a line and tell me. Thanks!
Prologue-
Many millennia ago, everyone on earth lived in peace and harmony. Males and females were regarded as equals. War, poverty and terror had no place, no meaning. Instead love and kindness were the ideals that were nurtured and flourished. This was a time when every person had a pair; a mate some might say. Someone bound to them from birth to death. There could be no other. There was no other. If one 'mate' died the other must go on living a lonely, half existence life till they were rejoined in another life.
They were known as Soul Mates. A kindred spirit in which one found a lifelong confidante, companion and heart's intimate desire.
A special link forged between each Soul Mate that no other person or element could destroy or penetrate. A soul mate, a true Soul Mate could read each other's thoughts and experience their emotions and feelings to such a degree that without practice and control those emotions could consume a person. If one were in pain than that pain would also be inflicted or rather transferred via the link onto the other mate. However, to have a soul mate was to enter into nirvana, creating a paradise where all kingdoms of dreams could be achieved. Without a soul mate, humans were only half of what could have been a whole.
But like all good things there must also be bad. Humans evolved as they sought more than just love and safety. They craved destruction and power as their pride grew so much so that eventually humans forgot that men and women were equals. Men excelled as the dominant sex; wanting more, needing to have more- more power, more land, more women. Females became the lesser humans, ruled and commanded by their fathers and husbands whose love had become tainted.
Centuries passed and both female and male locked out their minds. Put up barriers around their hearts and finally the link between two true soul mates were cut and lost forever.
It was harder to find a true Soul Mate for they could no longer feel the tugging of the heart that indicated one person from another. Many humans gave up, having forgotten the link and promise of something greater than themselves. Forced into love less marriage they listened to their head instead of their hearts.
Then out of desperation the last known group of Soul Mates clanned together and a prophecy was made.
'A male and female shall come together,
Bound by true love
And tested by fate.
Hatred hides the course of true feelings,
A link once broken now repaired.
They shall be the first to join together
And made one by love'
The Soul Mates then sacrificed themselves in order to be reborn when the prophecy was to be fulfilled. They vowed that through them, love would once again reign supreme.
