Silver Mellinum,
The Moon Kingdom
A girl stepped from the transporter that had just arrived on the moon. Her floor length black and silver hair was done up in curls that cascaded down her backed rested on the the train of her silver and blue dress. On top of her head was a silver tiara and just below on her forehead was the Zodiac sign of Virgo. She trailed behind her parents, King Dorjan and Queen Hydeira of the planet Virgo, grumbling to the black and white cat that purched on her shoulder. She really disliked these kinds of things.
They were there to celebrate the Moon Princess Serenity's sixteenth birthday. All the royal familys from the surrounding family's were invited. Queen Serenity was throughing a galactic ball in hopes that her daughter would find a man for her husband. That was one reason why they were there the other was so that the king and queen might be able to make a match for their own daughter. After Princess Athera challenged some would be suitors to a sword fight saying if they beat her they would have her hand in marriage. Well the ones who were brave enough or foolish depended on who was being asked, soon found their selves with the their faces in the dirt and a A ripped into the the seat of their pants. Afterwards the men spread the word around about the Virgoneon princess and now no suitors would calling. So when they received the invite to spend two weeks at the Moon Palace and then attend Princess Sernity's birthday ball they couldn't pass up the grand opportunity to possibly make a match between their daughter and a noble man who had never meet or heard of their rebellious daughter.
Seeing that her parents were focused on Queen Serenity, her daughters, and the four girls that were Princess Serenity's personal guards and the princesses from the four closet planets. She slowed her step until she she came close to her own personal guards there were only six there she had a total of twelve but the other six stayed back in their galaxy to protect it. These were not the safest of times, many could feel the darkness brewing, it was even roomered that the Moon Kingdom was receiving threats. They had been advise to bring their own Sailor Scouts, with her was the leader of the her guards and princess of the planet Aqurius, Melthia, Princess and the Sailor Scout of Scorpio, Sorcha, the Gemini twins, Nyx and Nymphia, and the last two of the six was the princess of Leo, Lyra, and the princess of Sagittarius, Hesperia
Athera slowed until she was next to Nyx, "Did you bring it with you, Mother checked my bags."
"Don't worry, Athera, I have your sword and as soon as we are settled into our rooms I will try to find a secluded place where you can practice," said the twin flipping her blond hair over her shoulder. Nyx and Nymphia were identical in looks but their personalities were so different. While Nyx was out going and lived in the moment, Nymphia was quit and reserved. She would rather just curl up and read a book, while her twin Nyx
would rather be out and causing as much trouble as she could.
"Gods forbid, you need to act like the princess you are and not some street ruffian," said Nymphia.
Athera stuck her tongue out at what she called the stuffy twin. "Well as soon as one of these stuck up peacocks realize I want a man and not some coward to help protect my planet then I will be fine and can relax. You can't fault me to want a man who can protect not hide behind my fuku skirts," she said when Lyra gave her a look. "I also don't want one that is power hungry and try to use the Ebony Crystal for their own gain"
Lyra smiled at her she was the reasonable one, "I guess what we all want for our soul mate is little different. Me I don't care about looks I just want someone to love me."
"What you want is so boring," said Nyx. "I for one want a drop dead gorgeous man with strong arms." She sighed with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Melthia, what do you want in a guy?" Lyra asked the tallest of them with short black spiky hair.
Before she could answer they were now face to face with the court of the Moon Kingdom. Introductions followed and Athera played at being the genital princess. They were then showed to their rooms since there would be several royal families they were given three rooms one for the king and queen, one for Athera, and another one that connected to Athera's for the five Zodiac Scouts. No sooner did they get settled when a soft knock came to Athera's door. Opening it a messenger stood there with he was dressed in the colors of the Moon Kingdom white and silver. In his hand was a silver try and on top of that was a envelope.
"A message from her royal highness, Princess Serenity, for Princess Athera of the planet Virgo," he said holding out the envelope.
"I will see that she gets it," said Hesperia taking the white envelope from him and closing the door when he give her a formal bow.
"What does it say, Speria," Athera asked she was busy unwrapping a clothe bundle that Nyx had just given her.A
"It says, 'Princess Athera and her royal guard are formally invited to join me in my private gardens for tea. Signed Princess Serenity.' Should we go I for one would love to meet with the Princesses of this galaxy."
"Of course we are going it would be rude to refuse an invitation from our hostess' daughter," said Nymphia. Athera rolled her eyes at the blonde girl and made face behind her back which in turn made Nyx and Hesperia giggle. And they in turn received a glare from Nymphia.
"Fine we go but first I need a hiding place for this." Athera had finished unwrapping the bundle laying in the folds of the fabric was the sword she had custom made. It was made from the finest and lightest steel, the hilt was made of silver and at the base where the blade and the hilt meant was a black jewel.
"It has to be a place where if the maids come to clean it won't be discovered. I know the bottom of the wardrobe under your dresses they won't be going in there and since we act as your ladies in waiting it won't be discovered," said Nyx clapping her hands at her cleverness. She took her princess' sword and tucked it in the furthest corner of the wardrobe behind the many dresses. They then all, except Melthia who stayed behind to protect the king and queen, followed their princess out and made their way to the Moon Princess' private garden.
Silver Mellinum,
The Earth Kingdom.
The two princes of earth were enjoying their last day on earth, tomorrow they go to the Moon Kingdom for two weeks for the princess' birthday but mainly to figure out who was sending the messages of war to Moon Kingdom. Even though the Moon Kingdom was the one being threaten the Earth Kingdom was as much threaten since a war between the two would most likely result in total destruction of both kingdom.
"So I heard the Moon Princess is quit beautiful now from the little wailing brat we knew. Maybe you might catch her eye and then that witch Baryl will leave you alone, Father believes she is the one who is behind the threats to the Moon Kingdom. And I think he is right the times I spent with her posing as you alone she has shown no love for Queen Serenity," said the eldest named Eidolon.
They were both princes of earth but the youngest by two years was the true prince and heir to the throne of earth. Since he was chosen by the Golden Crystal of Earth to be it's holder. Endymion looked alot like his older brother except Eidolon was a few inches taller. And when he called on the power of his Shadow Crystal, the crystal his mother gave him, the symbol of the black moon's royal family would appear on is forehead. Eidolon mother died a few months after he was born when she tried to defend the White Moon Kingdom from her sister, Queen Nehelina. He would see his mother in his dreams sometimes and even though his stepmother treated him as if he was her son too Eidolon still missed his mother.
"Well I am sure it will come out soon who is sending these threats, after all you have your four shadow guards, I have my generals and personal guard looking into it, and Father is doing all he can. And I am sure Queen Serenity has someone looking into it as well," said Endymion picking up the sword he was going to use to dual Eidolon with.
"So, little brother,do you think you can best me today," Eidolon flashed him a cocky grin and took out his
They started to dual after fifteen minutes Eidolon had the tip of his sword at Endymion's neck, but this time he had to work for it which told him one day Endymion would surpass him and be the best swords man on Earth. Eidolon helped his brother up.
A twinking giggle was heard behind them turning the saw a woman with rich auburn hair and sparkling emerald green eyes she was wearing a green gown that matched her eyes. She was a strikingly beautiful woman that any man could of fell in love with, but it was her kindness towards his first son that their father King Elpidos fell in love with. He never though he could love again after the death of Eidolon's mother, Legia, Princess of the Dark Moon, but Elainnia proved him wrong.
"Are you boys finished packing yet your father wants to leave at first light tomorrow?" her musical voice flowed to them.
"Yes, Mother," they said together causing her to laugh.
"Well then why don't you boys come in, dinner will be served soon."Both of them locked a arm with her and escorted her into the palace.
Athera could already hear the girlish giggling coming from the princesses gardens, the giggling girls came into view they were sitting at a white and and glass table. Roses and several other flowers surrounded the table. The princesses were all wearing the colors of their respected planets. On the table was tea cups and little finger sandwiches. The all stood when spotted the other group of princesses.
"I am so glad you all could make it, we are all curious about the other royal families from the other galaxies," said Princess Serenity.
"We thank you for the invitation, Princess Serenity, " said Athera deciding on being on her best behavior.
"Please call me Serenity, there is no need to be so formal. "
The girls quickly formed groups, Ami the princess of Mercury and Nemphia sat together talking about technology and such. The Martian princess Raye and Hesperia who were both priestess and psychic sat together and started talking about things they both had foreseen. The biggest group was Athera, Sorcha, Nix, Lyra and Serenity, Minako and Makoto.
"So, which royal families will be here?" asked Nix. She had a feeling that Minako the princess of Venus and herself was going to get along great. The girl was as bubbly and out going as she was.
"Well I heard my mother mention several families besides yours but I have to be honest I kind of don't pay attention when my mother talks to me about court issues." said Serenity.
"Reminds me of some one doesn't it, Lyra," said Sorcha giggling.
"Yeah reminds me of Athera," said Lyra. They giggled harder when Athera said "Hey."
"I do know that the king and queen of Earth and their two sons will be coming. But don't get excited Eidolon and Endymion were horrible boys the last time I seen them," said Serenity remembering the last time she saw them.
Flashback
Serenity was backed up to the wall of the of stable were the two Earth princes and their friends surrounded her laughing. In the hands of one of the princes was a frog she thought he was Endymion but she wasn't sure since the two looked alike.
"Come on, moon face, give the frog a kiss he might turn into a prince," said the boy holding the frog. He shoved the front in her face and she could almost feel the slimey skin of the horrid thing.
This resulted in Serenity letting out a scream that made their father's hunting dogs howl. The adults that were nearby came running and the boys knew they were in trouble when they saw their normally calm mothers face red with anger. Serenity broke through the circle of distracted boys and ran towards her mother.
"Momma, help me they were trying make me kiss a frog." She ran and hid behind her mothers dress. Looking around at the boys who were now being scolded. When Endymion glanced at her she smiled at him and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Eidolon and Endymion you two are to go to your rooms and stay there," said Queen Elainnia.
"But, mother, we are hungry," said Endymion.
"Well, you should have thought about that before you decided to terrorize the princess. Now go," she said pointing to the palace. Elainnia then turned to their friends, " Jadeite, Nephliete, Zoisite, and Kunzite you should be ashamed of yourselves its time for you all to go home and I will be writing your parents and telling them about your actions."
The next morning Queen Serenity and Princess Serenity left to go back to the moon. When her mother was telling her long time friends goodbye, Endymion and this time she knew it was he told her," Next time, moon brat, I will get you." But that time never came since that was when the threats to Moon Kingdom began.
End of flashback.
"Well, is it true, Athera, that your parents are hoping to make a match between you and a noble man?" Minako was asking.
There was no use lying to them, "Yes, it is true."
Before anyone could ask her why Nix told them," She scared off all the men who came to court her."
"Don't you want to fall in love and get married?" asked Serenity. She wondered about the man who would steal her heart. Her mother was hoping by the time the sun dawned on her sixteenth birthday that she would have found the one and to be honest Serenity was hoping for that too.
"Yes, but he has to be the right one i don't want some arrogant, pompous, peacock that if there is attack i will have to protect, as the future ruler of my planet I have to also think of my people."
"Yes, we should think of our people too, but that is also why we soldiers trained and I have my personal guards," Even though Princess Serenity was aware of the threats to the Moon Kingdom, she thought nothing could ever destroy the peaceful kingdom.
"That is so, but I believe in training myself to protect what I love, there are things that are worth fighting for. And that is why I have trained to be the best in sword play." Athera decided to ask the Serenity if she could have access to her private gardens. "Your Highness, I need a private place to practice my sword training and I was wondering if I could access to your gardens. "
"Of course, I well let the servants know to allow you in her whenever you need too." Serenity took a sip of her tea and started to wonder if this princess from another galaxy was right maybe there was more to being a princess then just gowns and started to think for once about the role her mother played.
