It's short, it's sweet, it doesn't actually go anywhere…. Anyway this is the first meeting between Serena and Endymion. I hope I didn't bore you all to death. Stay tuned for more of this and my other stories.
Serena opened her eyes slowly and frowned, she'd fallen asleep while talking with Tsuyoshi which upset her since she didn't get to see her older brother that often. She slowly sat up hoping that the moon prince was in the garden, which of course he wasn't. Serena had no idea how long she'd been asleep since she couldn't see the position of the earth from the garden. She caught a movement out of the corner of her eye and tensed thinking that it was her mother coming to nag her into meeting the terran ambassador. However the person that emerged from the plants wasn't the Queen, in fact the person wasn't even female and even more to the point Serena had never seen him before.
Her blue eyes widened as she watched the man, he was tall and had longish black hair that brushed the collar of his tunic, said tunic was a light blue that was almost grey and he wore black hose underneath. A decorative sword hung from the wide leather belt at his waist. Serena felt her pulse speed up; part of her knew that she should be raising the alarm because a stranger was in the queen's garden. However she knew somehow that the intruder would not harm anyone or anything. How she knew that she didn't know but it was just a feeling she had. She continued to watch the man from the shadows of the moon apple tree and her breath caught when he turned toward her and she saw his eyes, they were such a dark blue that they were almost black, but what caused her to have trouble breathing was that there were white spots in them. Like the stars in the night sky, and also the fact that they held a very deep sadness.
"Endymion! Where are you?" a voice called this one was male but high pitched as if the owner were still going through puberty.
Serena gasped as the man quickly ducked behind the tree she was hiding behind she stared up into his midnight colored eyes and opened her mouth to scream only to have his palm cover it. "Shhhh please don't be frightened." He said in a deep baritone
Serena blinked bright blue eyes at him frozen half from fear half from the touch of his palm against her mouth, no one ever touched her without her permission let alone covered her mouth to keep her silent. Her breath whooshed out of her nose fanning over the back of his hand as she stared up at him.
Endymion stared at the girl in front of him and was transfixed; he had never seen a woman with such a cold beauty. I seemed as if she were carved from crystal, her hair an extremely pale yellow glittered slightly. Her skin a white so pale he'd be worried about her health shimmered in the dim light of the garden. But it was her eyes which were a clear bright blue that had him stuck, he slowly lowered his hand from her mouth and stepped back still staring. Her lips were the color of blood rubies, and perfectly shaped into a cupids bow. He unconsciously leaned down to her his breath fanning over her face, his eyes fixed on her lips.
"Endymion! I know you're here!" the voice called again.
With a sigh Endymion turned toward the voice then looked back over his shoulder and blinked, the woman was gone. He frowned wondering who she'd been and where she'd gone.
A man with shoulder length blonde hair that curled riotously in his ponytail appeared in Endymion's line of vision and frowned his arms crossed over his broad chest, "Endymion you're not supposed to be here."
Endymion blinked shaking his head slightly and looked at his
general, " I know Zoicite but I didn't feel like meeting the lunar brat that mother and father wish me to play 'nice' with." He said with a gamin grin.
Zoicite rolled his eyes at his prince's words and laughed, "Not that I can blame you. But this place is off limits to all but the lunar family and their guard."
"Ah…." Endymion said distractedly as he searched the small garden with his eyes hoping to catch a glimpse of the silvered beauty nymph.
"Anyway we should go," Zoicite said and motioned for Endymion to precede him from the garden.
Endymion laughed and flung his arm around his general's shoulders as the two walked companionably from the garden, they were unaware of the bright blue eyes that watched their every move.
Serena waited for the men to leave before she emerged once more into the clearing by the pond a thoughtful frown on her face, "just who was that?" she asked lifting a hand to her tingling lips.
"Princess! Princess Serenity!" a voice called from across the garden
Serena sighed and lowered her hand still staring in the direction of the two men; whoever he was he appeared to be just as popular as she was. And Serena was sure that he had meant to kiss her if they hadn't been interrupted. She just didn't know if she would have stopped him from doing so.
