"Princess Serenity, psst, Princess Serenity, my love" called a soft whisper from the kingdom grounds.
A weary Princess Serenity approached the window, her face drawn from the tears she had shed since her father had yelled at her. She smiled at the figure feet below her. The mere sight of him brought such joy to the princess. But at the same time she felt such dread for the people of the Earth.
"Prince Darien" she said soothingly. "Why are you here?"
Prince Darien looked into the blue eyes of his beloved and saw only a deep sorrow. "Are you not happy to see me my beloved?" he asked.
"I'm always happy to see you Darien; you bring such happiness to my very existence. You are the air that I breathe and the only one I wish to be with for my entire life. We both know it in our hearts that we are soul mates; that our souls are made of the same thing and our destinies intertwined. But I fear for the people of your planet. As much as I wish you not to, shouldn't you be on Earth protecting them? They're possibly all lost without their leader"
The princes' gaze moved away from that of the Princess' as he gazed up into the sky. A silent tear trickled down from the corner of his eye as he quickly brushed it away like a true gentleman.
"I cannot return"
"But why!" asked the princess in a state of panic. "The Earth is you're kingdom, and its inhabitants are your people! Of course you can go back!"
"No I cannot"
The princess looked upon her beloved with great sorrow. How she wished to kiss him, to hold him, to love him and be with him in this desperate time of need. They needed each other.
"My father banished me from the earth" he said silently, only loud enough for the princess to barely hear. "Well what's left of it. He banished me to protect me, to make sure that the heir to the Earth thrown would survive. Right at this moment he is probably breathing his last breath of air while he fights against that wicked Queen Beryl."
"Oh Prince Darien, don't say such awful things"
"I have to my love, I have to face reality. My life is yours, I am now here to protect you my beloved, and I swear I'll let nothing happen to you. I'll go down fighting to save you"
"Oh, Darien…"
"Princess, I live to serve you" spoke the prince softly as he began to scale the wall and climb towards her. All he could look at where her beautiful eyes, so true, so mystical. So Sorrowful. His fingers dug into the spaces in-between the bricks as he made his way up and over. Gently he pulled the princess towards him and wrapped her in both his arms and cape of night. He lightly placed kisses upon her neck and collarbone sending shivers down her spine.
His fingers lightly traced along her jaw line, as they traced their way down to her chin lightly holding it up.
"Princess" he said in a husky voice. "After all of this is finished, marry me. Together we shall rule over the Silver Millennium as husband and wife and make things right and peaceful again. Oh princess Serenity, my love, say you will"
Softly his lips pressed against hers in a passionate embrace. Together they stood in each others arms, their soft, meaningful, passionate kisses the only thing left good and pure in the solar system. Slowly their kisses came to a halt as she rested her head against his chest.
A smile spread across the princess' gentle lips as she thought of the proposition just made to her. They could finally be together as husband and wife, as king and queen, as lovers.
Princess Serenity opened her mouth to reply to his question when a shriek escaped her mouth. In the doorway stood her father, his face blazed with fury. His hand rested on the hilt of his sword as he removed it from its sheath. Prince Darien had now come to see what the princess had shrieked at.
"Earth brat" King Derek spat. "Remove yourself from my daughter and face me like a man. Today is the day you will regret ever meeting my daughter, today you will die"
