Divinity: A question of Honor

Chapter thirty seven

Goddess Aphrodite pursed her lips and turned to look at the Queen Serenity with a worried face, both goddesses weren't aware Serenity was near them when they were talking about her father's truth. Queen Serenity arched a brow and fought the urge to cry.

"What is it what you have to tell me?" Serenity asked softly.

The dim light of the hallway allowed the queen to completely wipe her tears, smiling she walked over her daughter and placed both hands on her shoulders "I was saying to Aphrodite…that I wanted to tell you…how proud I am of you"

Serenity moved her head to a side and smiled "You are mama?"

Queen Serenity caressed her daughter's face with her hand "Of course, I always have but tonight…you are turning into a lady"

Aphrodite walked up to them and smiled faintly "I better go back to the party and bid Venus goodbye"

Princess Serenity held the love goddess' hands "Thank you so much for everything"

Aphrodite smiled warmly "You are more beautiful with each day; the man that gets to capture your heart will be the luckiest being in the universe"

Serenity blushed and lowered her gaze "Thank you…"

The blonde goddess turned to look at the lunar queen "Take care dear friend, I'll talk to you soon…"

Queen Serenity smiled and hugged her friend "Thank you…for everything"

Aphrodite nodded and left the two lunar royals alone. Queen Serenity turned to look at her daughter "Are you tired?"

Serenity smiled "Yes. A little…"

The queen smiled "I must admit that I am tired as well…let's go thank our guests for coming"

ooooooooooooooo

The air felt thick and dense, Endymion's eyes took in all the images of dead bodies sprawled on the field. Comrades and enemies were lying lifeless on the grass, some of them on the creek nearby and others resting their backs on the trees, the prince tried to hold the tears forming in his eyes; never in his life thought there could be so much pain involved in his fight for peace.

Jadeite joined him; his arm was slightly hurt "Endymion…"

The prince turned to look at his friend with a serious face "You're hurt"

Jadeite looked down at his arm "This? It's nothing…I tried to fight but one of them moved faster"

Endymion nodded and turned to keep walking to where Rumalos was waiting for them and where the attacked soldiers could treated their injuries. Walking near the starting fire he sat on a log and watched absently the dancing flames, his eyes were cold and distant, lowering his head he sighed.

General Rumalos noticed the silent prince and walked towards him "Endymion" his voice was low.

"I was wrong…I was so wrong…" he whispered, his head was still low.

Rumalos took a seat next to him "I don't understand"

Endymion raised his head, his gaze watched the dancing flames "I always knew being a fighter wasn't a simple task, I knew it was a hard…but to be witness of all the people who died…" he trailed off.

General Rumalos sighed and looked down "This changes your life Endymion…being so close to death does change your life, your perspective in seeing life changes…"

The prince nodded and looked at his blood stained hands "I killed people…with this hands…their blood is all over me and it doesn't matter how many times I wash my hands, it will still be there for the rest of my life"

"Do you want to retreat?"

"What?" Endymion turned to look at the general with wide eyes.

"Do you want to quit this? … I can send you back home…" Rumalos said again.

Endymion frowned "I am not going home Rumalos…the only way I will return home will be when I finish my training. This has changed my life indeed but I rather live all this in order to protect my family than just stay still and watch the enemy become stronger…"

Rumalo's eyes widened in shock "You truly are stronger than I thought"

Endymion lowered his gaze again "I will continue fighting them…because I know they will come back with more people and with more hate"

Rumalos turned to look at the fire "You are starting to sound like a true Prince"

"What?"

The general turned to look at the young man next to him and smiled "Sure, you have always had this strong character but you were carefree…you have matured over the past years and now you are finally starting to sound and act like a Prince…and a true warrior. Just like your father"

Endymion turned to look at Rumalos "My father…?"

Rumalos nodded "You have the same courage your father had when he came here but you have come to show even more courage than him…unlike him, you decided to come here and face all this" the general patted the prince's shoulders and stood up "I know he is very proud of you…I am"

"General…" Endymion trailed off.

"You saved my life a while ago…I guess I have finally met a great superior" the general bowed his head and walked away.

Endymion widened his eyes in shock "A great…" he trailed off again.

Jadeite, Nephrite and Zoicite soon joined him "Endymion…" Zoicite said.

Jadeite turned to see at the other two generals and gave them a worried look then turned again to see the silent prince "Endymion…?"

The prince came out of his thoughts and turned to see the three generals standing next to him "Hey"

"I'm glad to see you're safe"

"We're glad of that too and of course to see you are fine" Nephrite said softly.

"It's incredible how many people died today…" Endymion whispered.

"They're strong" Zoicite said.

"But we will have to be prepared; they can show up again anytime" Jadeite said in a serious tone.

Endymion remained silent and nodded his head.

Kunzite watched when General Rumalos was talking to Endymion and it intrigued him what he could have told the young prince "General"

Rumalos turned to look at the white haired man "Yes Kunzite?"

Kunzite hesitated in talk to the general "I'm glad to see you're fine"

Rumalos raised a brow in question "What do you want Kunzite?…seriously"

"I want to take charge of the next round, let me help you give the strategies to fight the enemy"

Rumalos chuckled "You are joking, right?"

Kunzite's grey eyes widened "I think I can help you win this war!"

The general rubbed his face with his hand and sighed "This is not a training exercise Kunzite, this is real. We have lost soldiers, they're dead out there!"

"But I can help, I know I can…I'm the best fighter you have!" Kunzite said.

Kunzite's words started to bother the general "Stop it Kunzite!" the general raised his voice "Haven't you noticed?"

"Notice what?" Kunzite widened his eyes.

Rumalos chuckled "You have stopped being the best man this army has"

"What do you mean? Nobody can fight like I do!" Kunzite said in shock.

"That's true…nobody can fight like you but there's somebody that can fight even better"

Kunzite couldn't hide his dislike "What do you mean…who is the one that can fight better than me?"

Rumalos chuckled and patted Kunzite's shoulder "You won't like the answer, so let's just leave it like that" the general walked away leaving a shock Kunzite standing behind.

The white haired man turned to where the fire was and watched Endymion sitting with the other soldiers and frown "You will never be better fighter than me" he muttered.

ooooooooooooooooooo

Four girls walked in to Princess Serenity's chambers in silence, Venus kneeled next to the sleeping princess and giggled.

"Good morning sleepy head!" Venus whispered in Serenity's ear.

"I don't think it's a good idea to wake her up Venus…" Mercury said softly.

Venus turned to see Mercury and smiled "I don't see the harm, besides…it's late, she should be up by now"

"Here!" Mars gave Venus a small white feather "Tickle her nose with this"

Mercury's blue eyes widened "You are actually going to wake her up"

Jupiter stood next to the bed with a warm smile on her face; Venus took the small feather from Mars' hand and started to tickle her nose.

Serenity scratched her nose and then went back to sleep "It's not working" Venus said.

"Give me that" Mars took the feather from Venus' hand and started to tickle her nose more insistently making Serenity sneeze, a few minutes later she opened one blue eye "Girls?" she asked.

"Good morning Your Highness" Venus said softly.

Serenity yawned softly and sat on her bed "Is it too late?"

"Quite, Your Highness" Mercury said softly.

The silver haired girl placed a hand on her forehead "I think I overslept, I was feeling so tired last night"

The four girls smiled and sat around their princess on the bed "It was a lovely birthday ball" Jupiter said.

Serenity smiled and nodded her head; Venus went to the dresser and grabbed a silver comb and then returned to sit next to her princess and started to comb her platinum blonde hair "Everybody around the galaxy came" the love princess moved her hand under the strands of hair she combed.

Serenity lowered her head "I'm glad you could see your families"

"You are officially a woman" Venus said softly and continued combing the princess' long hair "Starting today, your mother will receive propositions…" the venusian girl sighed.

"I do not understand" Serenity made a confused face.

"When a Princess turns fifteen, it is commonly to be asked to start meeting royals from around the universe in order to find a consort…" Mercury said.

"…A consort?" Serenity said panicked "But…" she trailed off.

Venus smiled "Don't worry too much Princess…I don't think Her Majesty will approve just any royal…"

Serenity frowned "Does that mean that I don't get to choose the man I want to marry?"

"Imagine all the handsome royals you will meet…" Venus sighed.

Mars placed a hand on her forearm "Princess, you have all the right to choose what's best for you…you're mother will be there supporting you as well, this is not an obligation"

Serenity smiled at Mars "Thank you…"

"Yes and who knows…maybe in those meetings we get to meet someone as well" Jupiter said.

"We are not allowed Jupiter…remember our duty" Mercury said.

Jupiter sighed "I was just saying…"

Serenity frowned and turned to look at Mercury "I do not know what it feels to be in love with somebody but…if I ever get to feel it with somebody I want you to also find love" she turned to Jupiter "No matter what your duties are…you deserve to be happy as well"

Jupiter smiled "Thank you Princess…"

"I pass…"

Everyone turned to look at Mars who was now standing next to a window "What do you mean?" Jupiter asked.

Mars kept looking up to the light sky "I'm not interested in being heartbroken…"

"Heartbroken?" Venus asked.

The raven haired girl turned to look at the girls on the bed "I have witnessed what it is to be in love but not being corresponded…"

"I do not understand, this is just confusing me…what are you talking about Mars?" Serenity stood up from her bed.

Mars lowered her gaze "My mother has always been in love with my father…but he's always so distant, like…if he always is thinking in somebody else…"

"My mother says that he's always been a very serious God…" Venus said softly.

"I think there is something more…but I'm afraid I will never know; my father is a mystery" Mars said, smiling she held her princess' hands "But you Princess…you are not going to live like that, you'll be very happy. You deserve it" her voice quivered a little but she was so stubborn, she fought not to let it shown.

"Mars…" Serenity whispered.

"Something great will happen to you…" Mars whispered back.
