Note: I own the story not the characters. Okay, so I had a lot of people voice their concerns. Basically I wanted my story in an ancient Greece setting and the idea came from the Sailor Scouts Planets name meant in Roman mythology and I changed it to Greece. First off I wrote this story a couple of years ago. I did little research when I wrote it. I did look at a map to see where the places were. Second, when I went and viewed 300 this weekend, it made me remember my story and how wrong I had characterized the Spartans. So I am editing the story as I go. I am not perfect!!! If you only want to down the story then don't read it. Please no bad reviews. For those who want to read it-Enjoy!
Sunshine spilled through Serenity's window the next morning. She felt refreshed from the tiresome day the last sun up. She glanced over at the warrior who was asleep beside her. With the sun beaming on, he was more beautiful than ever. She watched the gentle rise and fall of his chest. He looked so peaceful and innocent- not the same killer from the day before. She didn't want to wake him so she got up from the bed and tip toed to the door. She opened the door and crept out. She softly shut the door behind her. Her home was busy with commotion. She saw one of her servants walk past her briskly carrying towels towards the upstairs guest quarters. She hurriedly stopped her.
"Diana, why are you taking those to the guest quarters?" She asked confused.
"Well, the man that is in your rooms is the Spartan Prince. His guardians are here." The girl simply stated going back to her task.
Serenity went to the dining room to see servants placing breakfast on the table and Lita was helping.
"Litanya." Serenity called.
Lita looked up with a smile.
"Yes?"
"There may be trouble." She said softly.
Lita's smile disappeared and she stopped working.
"What are you talking about?" She asked coming up to her quickly.
"If the guardians are here looking for the warrior, then don't you think our soldiers come too? He did kill three in the forest not too far from here." She asked quietly.
Lita hadn't thought of that but she then began to wonder why Serenity had brought the man here in the first place. No one still knew what exactly happened yesterday. Lita sat down at the table and motioned for her to sit down. Serenity came beside her, her face slightly pale from sudden fright.
"Don't worry. Just tell me what happened yesterday." Lita said carefully.
Serenity began her tale of just wanting to go find a peaceful place to get her mind off of stressful things and how the men approached her. Lita was quiet for a moment.
"Well, one of the guardians did explain to us that the warrior- excuse me- prince left the battle so maybe these men did too. Those men maybe considered dead or missing. So, if they are found, the people will just assume it came from the war. We are safe." Lita said calmly, hoping to ease all of Serenity's thoughts.
Serenity smiled softly at her friend.
"Thanks, Lita." She said quietly.
"Would you like your breakfast now? Fruit right?" Lita asked getting up from the table.
"Yes please, oh and can you add a few pieces of bacon for me, I am eating in my room." She said getting up from the table also.
Lita went into the kitchen and came back out in seconds. Lita was really the only one who wasn't a servant who constantly stayed in the kitchen. She loved to cook and try to make new things. Lita came out of the kitchen and handed Serenity the plate filled with her request.
"Thanks. I'll be in my room." Serenity said
She turned to leave but a sight caught her. She was frozen in her spot. She heard Lita gasp lightly. The man was not the slight bit embarrassed. He was dripping with water and his long wavy hair was matted to his broad chest. He held a towel around his waist loosely. He grinned cheekily and his eyes emerald eyes glittered.
"Litanya." He said, his rich voice sending shivers down their spines.
"Yes, General Nephlite?" She asked in a daze like voice
"Can you let me back in my room? Somehow I can't find my key. I asked some servants and they all laughed." He said.
"Yes
sir." She said bowing slightly before him, looking back at Serenity
with a wink.
"I thought I told all of you to keep the doors of
your rooms open just in case you misplace your key." Lita said
leading the way.
"I'm sorry milady." He murmured following her.
Serenity shook her head and sighed. Lita was so man crazy. The man was good looking though. She headed back down the long corridor towards her bed room. She opened the door and closed it softly. She walked to her side of the bed and sat down, placing the plate on the stand near the table. Even though he was still asleep she was going to wake him.
"Warrior wake up." She heard her voice say.
She didn't know why she kept calling him that but she liked it. He stirred slightly but continued to sleep.
"Please wake up." She said a little louder.
If he didn't wake up she was going to worry that it would be a few days before he opened his eyes again. His eyes fluttered open and he blinked a few times trying to adjust to the brightness.
"Good Morning." She said sweetly
"Where am I?" He asked looking around
He tried to sit up but she gently pushed him back down.
"I'll answer your questions but first you must eat something to gain some strength back." She said picking up the plate.
She picked up a piece of apple and held it to his lips. He took it but stared at her. This as the same woman that he had saved. Now she was feeding him sweet tasting fruit. He tried to sit up again but she gently pushed him back down again.
"You are not strong enough. You were wounded yesterday." She said softly.
He sighed and relaxed back into the pillows- continuing to let her feed him. As she did, he was able to get a really good look at her. She was beautiful. She could be compared to a goddess. Her sapphire blue eyes had a little sliver in them. Her long blonde hair had lighter blonde highlights in them. She seemed so determined to help him get back on his feet. As she picked up a grape to feed him and gently grabbed her hand to stop her.
"Milady, what is your name?" He asked
She looked into his eyes for a moment.
"Serenity" She said softly
"Serenity" He murmured, "Thank you for everything"
"No, thank you for saving me. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here." She said gratefully
He still held her hand. He took the grape with his mouth, nipping her fingers lightly. He looked at how small and dainty her hand was and how perfect their hands fit.
"I guess we are even." He said looking back into her eyes.
He kissed her hand gently and she felt herself blush at his tenderness. This man was totally not what she expected especially from the day before. Spartan men were known for not showing emotions or much tenderness for that matter. He was a breath of fresh air. Before she could say anything a knock came at the door.
"Enter." She said softly turning her attention to the door.
Kunzite stepped in and shut the door behind him. He bowed in respect to her and his prince.
"Sorry to interrupt. I just came to check up on his majesty." He said looking at them.
Endymion slowly let go of her hand and sighed.
"How did you find me, Kunzite?" He asked slightly annoyed.
Serenity had just learned another one of the guardians' names.
"We found your sword and followed the trail here." He said coming to the edge of the bed.
Serenity then noticed the look of annoyance on the prince's face.
"Maybe I should leave and let you two talk." She said softly.
"No, Serenity. Stay." He said quickly.
Kunzite cleared his throat slightly.
"Well, your majesty-" He began
"Cut that out. You can say my name here." He said getting more agitated.
"Fine, Endymion. If you're strong enough we may leave. I sent the soldiers home after the victory."
Serenity tensed for a moment. The name sounded familiar. She knew he was the prince and everything but she had heard it before now. Maybe through the talk of politics. She then realized that Kunzite said that they were leaving if he was better.
"He's not strong enough." She said quickly.
"Milady, no disrespect, but he can tough it out. It's only a minor injury." Kunzite said.
"Minor! No disrespect to you but he is not leaving until he is strong enough and is ready to leave. He lost a lot of blood yesterday." She said getting slightly angry.
"Leave us, Kunzite." Endymion ordered.
Kunzite bowed and walked out, shutting the door firmly behind him.
Note: Sorry to leave off here, just getting sleepy. I may update tomorrow. Please review! Oh sorry for mistakes….
