The Past-Part 2
This means thinking *...*
Everyone was having a good time when suddenly everything became dark. Serenity and Autimnia looked at each other. A dark figure had appeared in the room. Serenity and Autimnia looked at each other again. Serenity handed Serena to the Queen of Uranus and Autimnia handed Autumn to the Queen of Polaris.
Both Queens stepped to the center of the room in front of the dark figure. "What do you want?" Autimnia commanded. The dark figure glared at the two Queens. "The future rulers must die!" He started towards the nearest child, which was Autumn./blockquote
Serenity 'pulled out' the Emperium Silver Crystal and Autimnia did the same, except she'pulled out' a diamond. The Emperiaum Celestial Diamond. Serenity called out Moon Cosmic Power and Autimnia called out Proxima Celestial Power and a very powerful blast came from the crystal and the diamond. The form shouted in agony and disappeared. Both Queens fell to the floor, the short and successful battle had taken a lot out of them.
Everyone rushed over to the fallen Queens. One of the guards rushed towards Serenity. "Are you alright your Majesty?" "Yes I'm fine, I'm just tired. What about Queen Autimnia?" No one had noticed that before the dark figure was about to make his attackhe let out a powerful energy beam that hit Autimnia head on. Nobody noticed that she was hurt because she hid it well, but after the battle she was even weaker than before.
The guard looked away for a moment then looked back at Serenity. "She does not look well my Queen." Serenity stood up on weak legstrying not to fall over. She walked over to her friend and saw that she was very pale and laying unconscious from being so weak. Autimnia was so weak that she could have died then and there. Serenity looked at her guards. "Take her to my bed chambers and call for a Healer." The guard nodded his head at Serenity. "Very well, what about you my Queen?" Serenity looked up at him. "I just need to sit down for a while. I think Autimnia used more energy than I did, I can see why."
Thankfully Autimnia made a somewhat slow but full recovery and was able to get back to her many Royal duties with the King. Autimnia and Autumn made several visits to the Moon Kingdom over the years and Serenity and Serena did the same when they could. They made so manyvisits over the years that Autumn and Serena became very close, so close they each considered each other as a cousin. King Ayden went along on the visits sometimes, but mostly had to stay at the Royal Palace on Proxima for diplomatic matters.
It was now fourteen years later. Autimnia and Autumn were to make a visit to the Moon Kingdom. The night before their trip Autimnia received a caller. "Prince Noah of Titania to see you your Majesty." A doorman appeared in the doorway with a young man beside him that wearing some kind of armored suit. He was tall with short dirty blonde hair and green eyes. "Bring him in Rolph." Prince Noah stepped into the throne room, knelt on one knee and looked up at the Queen. "Thank you for receiving me your Majesty." Autimnia smiled at the Prince. "You're welcome Noah. What would you like?" Noah looked up at Autimnia. "I was wondering if I could accompany you and the Princess to the Moon Kingdom." Autimnia looked at Noah for a moment and didn't bother to ask him why, she already knew why. She had seen how they looked at each other when they were together. "Yes you may. I think Autumn would be delighted if you came along." A small smile came across Noah's face. "Thank you your Majesty. I shall be ready for the departure time." The Prince got up off his knee, bowed to Autimnia and left.
He ran into Autumn on the way out. The Princess who wore her hair in two perfectly place buns on her head and let the rest of her long fall. Her hair was auburn (reddish brown) and she had innocent blue eyes. She looked at him and spoke in a soft voice. "Good evening Noah." Noah looked back at her. "Good evening Autumn." Autumn had a concerned look in her eyes. "Is something wrong Noah?" He stared at her and gave her a smile. "No quite the opposite. I will be joining you and your mother on your visit to the Moon Kingdom." She smiled back at him and gave him a large embrace. "I'm glad you're coming! Serena and Darien couldn't wait to see you again and I feel so much better that your coming with me." He embraced her and kissed her on the forehead to say goodnight.
It was now the day of their journey to the Moon Kingdom. Everyone was there on time. They boarded the ship and began their journey. Autumn thought it would be a long flight, but it wasn't. It seemed as though time flew by. Autumn looked out one of the windows of the ship then looked at Autimnia and Noah. "We're finally here!" Autumn was literally jumping up and down at the sight of the Moon Kingdom. Autimnia stepped over to Autumnand put a hand on her shoulder. "Calm down, we're starting to land."
It seemed like forever to Autumn as the ship landed. Finally it did land. Autumn stood impatiently as the doors opened. As soon as the doors opened Autumn went running straight towards Serena. "I'm so glad to see you again Serena." The girls hugged each other. "I'm glad to see you to."
Autimnia and Noah stepped off of the ship. Noah walked over to Darien and shook his hand. "It's nice to see someone's finally grown in height." Noah with a sarcastic look on his face looked at Darien who had a smile on his. "Oh very funny Darien...I wasn't that short you know." Both Princes looked at each other and laughed.
Autimnia stepped towards Serenity. They hugged each other as good friends should. Serenity stepped back. "It's nice to see you again Autimnia." "Yes it is Serenity." Both of the Queens and Princes looked at Serena and Autumn who were still hugging. Everyone except the two Princesses started to laugh.
"Oh give it up you two." Autimnia said. "We're going to be here for about a month." Everyone started laughing once again. Just at that time Autumn looked up to the sky. "Mother look, that looks like one our ships." Autimnia and the others looked towards the sky and the ship began to land.
It landed and from it emerged four sailor suited soldiers. Autimnia looked as the four girls came towards her. "Sailor Gemini, Cygnus, Auriga and Aquatica what are you doind here?" Sailor Gemini stepped forward. "King Ayden sent us to protect you and the others if anything should happen." Autimnia thought for a moment. *Why would he do that?* She then looked up at the Sailor Scouts. "I don't think anything will happen, but you are welcome to stay and visit with us. I'm sure the other Sailor Scouts would be delighted to see you all." Serenity then stepped forward. "Shall we go inside then, I have had a special dinner prepared for all of us. We can set four extra places for you Sailor Scouts."
Everyone entered a grand dinning room and sat down to eat their meal. The large table was filled with very delicious things. Cream pies, a lovely decorated chicken, cheesecakes, fresh baked buns and so on.
The month went by very fast for Serena and Autumn. Soon it was the last day before Autumn and the rest that came to visit had to return to Proxima. Autumn, Serena, Noah and Darien spent their last day together. The Sailor Scouts spent theirs together having tea and talking on the main balcony overlooking the entire Moon Kingdom. The two Queens of course spent their day together.
Serena, Noah, Darien and Autumn were sitting around and had no idea of what they all could do, until Serena made a suggestion. "Why don't we have a picnic in my garden?" Autumn agreed immediately. "Yes it will be just like when we were little!" Serena told the two Princes to stay where they were and that she and Autumn would be back shortly.
The Princesses were not far away from the palace when Autumn suddenly stopped. Serena turned around to ask Autumn why she had stopped sao suddenly, but when she saw Autumn great worry came over her. Autumn looked as if she was frozen. Her face was white and she had a sign of great pain and suffering in her eyes.
Serena had no clue what to do. Autumn stood there unmoving for a few moments with the same look on her face and in her eyes. All of a sudden Serena was startled by a scream. "Nooooo!" Serena watched Autumn scream, close her eyes and then finally collapse.
The Princes had heard someone scream as well. Noah looked at Darien. "That sounded like Autumn."
