Okay, guys I have been working on this story for about 3 weeks now. It is the new and improved How it all began c: I spent a while trying to figure out how to make this story better and with the help of my best friend, here it is. So enjoy and I hope you all like it.
I do not own Sailor Moon however I do own the characters in this story apart from Selenity. I do own the planet name Rayver in this story ;)
It was a cool day in the village near the Mare Serenitatis. A young woman no more than 20 years old was helping the farmers' wives gather up fruit and vegetables from the fields. Her long silver hair had been pulled up into a high ponytail and braided so it wouldn't stick to her forehead as she worked. Her blue eyes flashed with joy as she helped gather everything together. She wore a plain tunic with light trousers that allowed her to work in the day without getting too hot. Her peace with the others was however about to end.
"Princess Selenity!" The young woman groaned as a soldier from the Royal Palace rode up towards her.
"What is it?" Selenity hated it when they found her. All she wanted to do was help her people. Was that so hard? Apparently so.
"Your mother requests your presence at once!" The Soldier exclaimed as another soldier rode up behind him and had Selenity's personal silver horse Celeste with him.
"It is alright Your Highness." One of the farmer wives smiled at her. "We all thank you for helping us today."
"I will be back another time. I promise." Selenity said seriously as she looked at the people who were bowing to her. She bowed back earning gasps from the soldiers.
"She is a strange princess." The soldier whispered to the other making him chuckle lightly.
"Indeed." He replied as Selenity walked over to them. The soldier had gotten off his horse to help Selenity onto hers but before he could help her, Selenity was already on Celeste.
"Well?" Selenity questioned. "Are you both ready?"
"Yes, Your Highness." The guards responded as Celeste gave a small whine as Selenity nudged her on. The villagers all gathered by to wave to their Princess.
"She will be a great Queen." The head of the village smiled. "Right! All back to work now!" He ordered.
Selenity sighed as the royal palace came into view. It was a beautiful silver palace with large statues covering the entrance while on the front were the phases of the Moon. Selenity gently brought Celeste to a stand and got off her back.
"Good girl. Let's get you into the stables. My mother can wait for a few more minutes." She smiled at her horse as she led her into the stables.
"Princess, we have servants for that." The soldier frowned. Selenity bit her tongue to hold her anger in at his words.
"I may be a Princess, soldier but I can do things for myself. You will tend to your own horses." She said in a soft yet commanding tone. The soldiers both nodded as Selenity took the reins off Celeste and laid them on their post. "I'll be back later girl." She smiled as she left her horse grazing the hay that was in front of her. Not even bothering to change, Selenity went straight to the throne room where her mother was waiting for her.
"Ah Selenity." Sanctity said with a smile in her tone. Sanctity was a beautiful woman like her daughter. She had long silver hair like Selenity but pale blue eyes that sparkled. She stopped talking to the man beside her and looked at her daughter with a frown. "You are not properly dressed." Selenity fought the urge to roll her eyes at her mother's words.
"I was in the fields with the farmers, mother. The harvest needed to be gathered." Selenity said softly. She noticed the male standing beside her mother and frowned to herself. He was tall and handsome but there was something about him that made her uneasy. He had long black hair that was pulled back into a low ponytail giving his red eyes a glow. His skin was slightly tanned which only added to his red eyes that seemed to search into her silver ones.
"Ah this is Prince Demetrius of Rayver." Sanctity smiled. "He is here on a visit."
"Mother don't tell me this is another suitor?" Selenity asked in a bored tone but on the inside she was fuming. Demetrius chuckled softly as he looked at Selenity.
"Not yet Princess. I am only here to talk about a possible alliance between our worlds." Demetrius answered smoothly but Selenity was not buying it. "And I am curious about something."
"And that would be?" Selenity asked. She did not like him at all.
"Why were you working in the fields? You are a Princess." Demetrius said in a curious tone.
"To be a good ruler is to help and look after your people and animals. That includes the messy work which I have no problem in getting involved in. Now, if that is everything mother, may I be excused?" Selenity asked turning her attention to her mother who nodded and waved her hand in a dismissal. Selenity bowed to Demetrius in respect and left the room.
"She is quite the woman Your Majesty." Demetrius chuckled.
"My daughter takes after her father in many ways including her working ways. I could never get her to give that up." Sanctity chuckled. "Now I am sure you are tired from your journey. I will have someone escort you to your room." She smiled. Demetrius gave her a bow and smiled.
"That would be wonderful, thank you." He said in a kind and soothing tone that had Sanctity smiling.
Selenity sighed softly as she brushed her long hair. She was furious at her mother for pulling her out of the fields to meet a man. True he may just be here for an alliance but she heard rumours about the dark planet Rayver. She wasn't keen on the idea of an alliance with them but perhaps they weren't all bad. Releasing another sigh, Selenity placed her hair into a braid and got ready for bed. She looked out the window and gazed at the stars that seemed to glitter in the sky like small diamonds. A small movement by the roses caught her attention but it disappeared before she could do anything about it. Frowning to herself, she shook the thoughts from her mind and climbed into bed. As soon as her head hit the soft pillow, Selenity was asleep.
From a distance a pair of blue eyes watched the room with a smile on his face.
"Very soon."
And that is the end of chapter 1. Chapter 2 is in the works it just needs some final editing so it should be up in the next couple of days. I have to admit, I do like this revamp better now :)
Okay enough of my babbling lol.
