Year 322: Crystal Tokyo
Endymion smiled. Today, he received two letters. One from the Southern Regions and the other from the Sea Coasts of Japan.
All his men were reporting in.
Your Majesty,
Our youngest brother and I are currently stationed in the Southern Regions. Though there is some civil unrest and discomfort with our presence in the lands, transitions have been rather smooth. I will give a report if anything more drastic occurs.
Our youngest brother is having the time of his life setting up Land Mines around the Camp. He's having fun throwing rocks into the field and scaring new recruits when a rock hits a mine. I've told him to behave himself several times, but he insists it will toughen up his men. I fear we will have emotionally scarred soldiers by the end of the month. Sometimes I question our youngest brother's sanity and obsession with fire. Perhaps it's his way of coping without his woman for so long. Would it be so selfish of me to make a request? Could you send Jupiter and Mars to us? You know, to help keep the peace in this region? Perhaps they might not recognize us after all these years.
Faithfully Serving for King and Country,
Your Star-Gazing Brother
Endymion had to chuckle. He actually considered asking the women who wielded fire and lightning to run a few sensitive packages to the Southern Regions. But he needed to make sure it was done without Serenity's knowing.
No... he needed to wait till the right time to reintroduce the women to their former lovers.
He set the letter down and turned to the next. Another smile crossed his lips.
He opened the letter from his head Shittenou, Kunzite.
Master,
All is well here by the Sea Coast. There is nothing to report. Our Green-eyed brother sends his regards. Thank you for allowing Minako to visit yearly. I and Sterling appreciate her consistent visits. My son enlisted to the Military Academy. He is expected to graduate in two years. Your Majesties are welcome to attend his graduation. I have also included his recent enlistment picture.
I wish you and your family continuously good health, wealth, and happiness.
Your Loyal Servant,
Colonel Kendal Aimes
The king smiled. As he looked at the picture inclosed. The young man looked just like his father when they first met during the Silver Millenium. Endymion felt compelled to attend. He would need to speak with his wife about this request. If they left the palace, no doubt, all four senshi would need to be present to protect both the king and queen.
Then again...
All his men might be at this joyous event and the women might recognize their men.
And they might demand for them to return to the palace.
He smirked. Perhaps he should make the journey down there. It was his wife, after all, who urged for the 1000-year sentence to justify to the people these men have reformed themselves proving loyal to the crown. And this seemed a less passive aggressive way to allow a "chance" meeting with his men and her women.
He made plans to attend the Winter Graduation of Year 324.
