:::Endymion's Flashback-The day the sin was committed:::


A woman was screaming. It sounded far away and echoed terribly in Endymion's mind. He fought to open his eyes. A loud crash caused the floor to rattle and shake beneath his armored body. It felt as if the whole moon had been split in half.
Ocean blue eyes slowly opened. His vision was blurry and obscured by the black strands of his hair that mingled with sweat and blood.
Blood?...
Endymion's hand lifted slowly, painfully to his head. When he pulled back his fingers there was deep red blood glistening off his pale white fingertips.
"Fuck!" He swore.
The noise around him was overpowering. Screams, explosions, and the sound of battle.
How long had he been out? Clarity started returning to his senses as he woke. He remembered the situation he was currently in; the moon kingdom was in great peril.
His hand reached out desperately to find his sword. Cool steel met his fingertips. Endymion smiled through his pain...he had not yet lost his weapon. Grabbing the hilt he used the sword to stable himself as he got to his feet. His breathing was labored and he could sense the metallic taste of blood in his mouth. He spat out on the ground to rid himself of the taste.
He looked up now and realized he was in the throne room of the Queen Serenity. It was empty except for himself. But even as he realized this, footsteps of an approaching enemy neared.
It was a man...or a woman...he could not tell as it was cloaked from head to toe in black robes. There was a long sword grasped tightly in the creatures pale hand. Heavy gold bracelets ornamented the wrists of this creature and Endymion thought he recognized these from somewhere but could not remember where.

"Ah, Prince Endymion. We meet again. It is truly an honor!" Said the creature in a mocking voice.

Endymion's hand grasped his sword tighter. This creature's voice was neither man nor woman's. What was he facing?!?
"Who are you!? Show yourself Devil Creature!"

"Devil?... Yesss, you may call me devil, young Prince. But I have many names and have shared many bodies. Even you have known me in my other forms."

"What do you mean? We have not met before!" Shouted the Prince.

The creature shook its head."You should have followed my advice young prince. If you had only gotten the silver crystal as I suggested years ago then this brutality would not have been necessary...at least for now."

Endymion's eyes went wide with shock. "Soahc?"

A low rattling chuckle emitted from the creatures throat. "Not one of my proudest forms, but I had hoped to convince you to...lets say take care of some of the dirty work for me. But I did not anticipate for you to fall in love. I must say, love is such a human weakness!"

The prince became angered. "Do not mock my love for Serenity, Soahc!"

"You may call me Chaos young prince." The creature's arms stretched wide as if in welcome. "Let us get along, for you see, even though you have been useless to me up until now, you are going to help me accomplish some evil before I allow you to die!"

"You are the one that is about to die Chaos!" Endymion lowered himself to a battle stance and prepared to lunge at his target.

Chaos only laughed and appeared to have turned to mist before the prince's eyes. Endymion's mind seemed to become fuzzy. He shook his head; it had become heavy and dizzy.
But then Chaos seemed to appear again before him running straight at him with arms outstretched.
Endymion took his chance and charged at his enemy. He let out a great yell as his sword tore into his target's flesh slicing him straight through his midsection. Endymion let out another yell of triumph; he had surely killed chaos with this fatal blow.
But then the whole world seemed to tip upside-down..
For the person at the end of Endymion's blade was not Chaos at all...
Long slender white arms splattered with blood were painfully stretched out. Her hands had closed around his sword that was lodged deeply through her stomach.
Endymion's hands trembled violently and released the sword. He fell hard to his knees.
As he let go of the sword, she too fell back to her knees and hunched over painfully.

"Queen Serenity!" Endymion choked out the name in surprise. "I thought...I thought you were."

The queen's pale silver eyes were becoming blank; it seemed her soul was leaving her body before his very eyes. "Endymion, why have you done this?" her voice was filled with pain and emotion.

"I thought you were Chaos!" The prince screamed and crawled over to steady the queen in his arms. "Please don't die! You must not leave Serenity alone!"

"Serenity.." The Queen whispered. She lifted up a weak and shaking hand to Endymion. There was something bright and sparkling emitting from between the fingers of her clenched fist.
"This is the legendary silver crystal...must...give to Serenity...she must save...save us..in my place.." Her voice grew weaker.
"Endymion...tell my daughter...tell...tell her...that...I love..." But she was gone before she could finish her final words. Her final declaration of love for her daughter died on her lips. A single tear escaped the queen's eyes that were now closed; closed for all eternity.

Endymion could not believe this fate. He had, after all accomplished evil for Chaos. The dead queen was still held limply in his arms. his sword still slashed through her midsection. He could not stand to see her like this. The mother of the woman he loved.
Endymion gently pried the queen's fingers open to reveal the silver crystal. He took it from her and knew he must fulfill the queen's dying wish; for Serenity to take possession of this powerful family heirloom.
He stood up then and grabbed the hilt of his sword. Endymion took one deep shuddering breath and then pulled back quickly, swiftly removing the blade from the dead Queen.
There was then a loud scream of horror. Shocked, Endymion turned swiftly around to see princess Serenity standing at the door.
No, she must not see him like this!! The silver crystal held tight in one hand and his sword being pulled from her mother in the other. She would not understand!!
And indeed she did not. Serenity's eyes were wide with terror. Her hands covered her mouth suppressing her screams.

"Serenity!" Endymion yelled and dropped his sword to the ground. He ran at her; he must explain!

Serenity backed into a nearby pillar; terror was written on her every feature.
Endymion grabbed her shoulders roughly and held her firm against the wall."Serenity! This is not what it seems!!"

Serenity was shaking violently and could not look into his eyes. She only looked past him to where her mother lay dead on the ground.

"What have you done?!" She screamed.

They were both knocked to the ground violently as another explosion shook the castle. Endymion grabbed on to Serenity to break her fall. Serenity forced herself out of his arms and once again backed up against a nearby wall curling up in a ball and choking out pitiful sobs.

"Serenity.." Endymion pleaded. His vision had started to go fuzzy again. The wound on his head had deepened with that last fall and blood flowed freely down his face. "You must take this!" He reached out his hand that held the silver crystal and offered it to his crying princess.

Serenity's eyes went wide. "Why do you have the crystal??"

"Your mother said that you must save your kingdom in her place."

"YOU KILLED HER...MURDERER!" Serenity screamed.

Endymion used the last of his strength to crawl over to his princes...his only love. He took her in his arms and pressed a kiss to her trembling lips. She fought against him; her fists beating his chest in desperation. He pulled back with a sorrowful look on his face.
"My loyalty has only ever been to you." Tears threatened to spill over his blue eyes. He took her hand gently and placed the silver crystal into her open palm. "I'm sorry love...it seems I will not be able to marry you after all.." blood was now flowing freely from his body as his life force drained away.
He collapsed into her lap. The blood from his wound staining the white silk of her dress.

"Endymion!" Serenity screamed. She cradled his head in her lap and her silvery blue eyes welled up with tears.

Endymion's eyes now closed and darkness overtook his senses. He was happy that the last thing he was able to look upon in this world was the face of his beloved. He almost thought he felt warm tears dripping to his face, but then there was nothing but darkness as he too fell from life.
