A day of warmth and nature's bliss befell the magestic Moon
Kingdom, as the morning sun worked it's way through the white
cotton clouds, emitting rays of hope and peace against the light
coloured grass and little white rabbits. Men and Women of
various ages embraced the new day as they hurried off to carry
out their morning rituals. It was yet another cheerfull day in the
lands of Lunaria, all were happy . . . Except for a certain
Odango-ed Princess.
"No mother I simply refuse!", her temper reaching its peak as
she furiuosly paced against the smooth marble floor, causing the
ends of her dress to swing in a fast melody.
Princess Serenity was the exact image of her mother, in beauty
and the gentleness of her heart. The only differences were that
her mother, Queen Selenity had a mane of silvery-white hair,
pony-tailed and held firmly on each side of her head by a bun,
marking the traditional royal hairstyle. Her eyes were a colour
of pale blue with tiny specs of silver. Serenity's however,
were a softer shade of sky blue and her hair, similarly tied in the
traditional hairstyle, was a rich golden blonde.
"But Serenity . . .", "I said NO! I will not be forced to marry
someone I do not love!" she interjected, her raised voice
sending echoes bouncing against her bedroom walls, traveling
along the air and spreading across the palace hall ways.
"You know how this will benefit our kingdom and strengthen
our forces." was the Queen's futile attempt at convincing her
enraged daughter. "Ofcourse it will!" she agreed in sarcasm,
hands raised above her heads, and her naturally rosy cheeks a
deeper shade of red from fury. "Serenity!" her mother bellowed,
her tolerance reaching its saturation point. "I will not abide
anymore of your defiance! You WILL marry the Prince of
Arcadia wether you like it or not!", with that said she jolted out
the door leaving a very shocked princess to contemplate what
had just happened. Never in her life had she seen her mother so
furiated.
Standing against the bedroom door she had just exited, the
Queen's face was marred with an equal look of shock. Never in
long years had she lost her cool demeanor, especially infront of
her daughter, 'but when Serenity is concerned anything is
possible! At times she could be as stubborn as a mule!'. She
smiled at the thought but it quickly disspated and was replaced
by a look of regret. Queen Selenity loved her daughter very much
and no-one could ever doubt so, she would do everything in her
power to make sure her daughter was safe and happy. Although
she was sure that her daughter would grow up to be a fine and
just ruler, she could clearly see it from the love she gave to her
people and their respect for her . . . She couldn't help but be a
little overprotective.
Rumours have been, that the Dark Prince who now ruled the
occupied Terran lands of Earth; Demando, (unbeknowest to
Serenity) had his eyes set on marrying the Moon Princess. At
first the Queen thought of them as just that, rumours, but when
a proposal from the Prince was sent offering a solution to
maintain peace between the Earth and Moon, suspisions
aroused about the true cause of this approach. She undoubtedly
feared the worst, her hand in marriage to Demando.
When she heard of the Arcadian Prince (whose planet was
situated on the northern part of the Jupiteranian orbits), of his
nobility, kind heart and courage, she had sent two of her most
trusted councilors to investigate. After discovering that what
was said about him was true and even more, she felt that no-one
would be more suitable to have her daughter's hand in marriage.
She had secretly arranged for the two to wed and would
publicaly anounce their engagement infront of Demando and his
court in the formal meeting that would be held on the moon, a
month from the present time. This way she thought, she would
be able to crush the Prince's hopes in marrying her daughter.
The very thought of him coming near her daughter caused her
face to contort in disgust.
Convinced that what she had done was for Serenity's benefit,
she headed towards her room for a much needed rest.
Cuddled against the far corner of her window sill, silent tears
coursed its way down her now pale cheeks, eyes red and puffy
from long hours of crying. 'Why me? Why am I always treated
like a child?! I'm 15 for God's sake! I have a right in making my
own decisions and voicing out my thoughts!' One question after
the other dwelled in Serenity's mind, burying her deeper into her
mood of depression.
Exhausted from crying and grieving at her own misery, she
casted her gaze over the the mass of blue orb, illuminated by the
sun's rays. Earth, she was always intrigued by it, the aura of
mystery that it radiated, consoled her.
Absured? maybe . . . .How? Just thinking of the planet and the
legend behind it, that her mother had always narrated during
bedtime when she was a little girl, of a destined Prince with the
power to free his people from the evil cluthes of darkness, made
her forget her worries even if it was for only a short while.
Seeing that how the current situation of Earth related to the
legend, she was sure that the destined Prince would make his
appearence. 'I'm sure he's nothing like those snobbish princes
I've seen!'the princess thought. 'Oh, if only I could meet him!',
her eyes holding a faraway look.
Like a sudden flash of thunder in the middle of summer,
Serenty's eyes lost the glassy effect, instead held a look of
mischeif and her soft pink lips quirked up in a playfully evil grin.
'Maybe I would', she thought, "I bet Mom won't notice I was
gone that long anyway, she's too busy with this meeting to be
held the coming month." those were the very first words that
escaped her mouth since her dispute with her mother.
Stealing one last glance at the blue planet,'Earth here I come!'
she set her mind in determination.
