Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon however I do own all characters and situations I create and I own THIS Sailor Earth.

Author's Note: This chapter will go rather fast since it will center around a year. Oh I suggest reading the first chapter before you read this since the first chapter is background for this one. Just click on my name. Also all earth animals will have a yellow star on their heads but Amber's sign are two eighth notes.


Legacy of Earth
Chapter 2
A Duty to Uphold

"Amber, wake up. Please wake up. I need to give you my present!" A voice like bells woke Amber. The sun was peeking above the horizon, contemplating whether it was worth the effort to rise. A soft muzzle rubbed against Amber's face. Again the voice Amber to rise.

Amber slowly opened her eyes. The doors to her balcony were open letting in the warm summer breeze. There on the balcony stood a pegasus of pure sun. Her body was a golden yellow and her mane was a soft pastel yellow. On her forehead, a deep yellow star shone brightly. With her wings outstretched, she was a beautiful sight to behold. "What is it Aurora?" Amber asked as she rose from her bed.

"I want to take you for a ride. It is my gift to you." The pegasus said to her.

"I'd love to and would be honored hut I don't think Lady Beryl will let me, at least not after last night."

"She is fast asleep. I checked. And besides, Kevin is coming on Twilight."

"Alright, let me get dressed and leave Lady Beryl a note." Another pegasus landed on the balcony. This one was black with a deep purple mane. It also had the same star on its forehead.

"Come get out of bed, Amber." Kevin whispered.

"I am already out of bed. I am just leaving Lady Beryl a note." Amber left the note on her chamber door, donned her cape, and proceeded to the balcony. The blue gown Crystal had given her seemed to sparkle as she mounted Aurora and the four of them took off. The sun, seeing the princess fly through the sky, seemed eager to rise and light the way for them now. Soon it was late in the morning and what seemed like minutes ago became hours ago.

"Where do you want to go, Amber?'

"Let's challenge Darien to a race, Aurora." Amber said excitedly.

"Alright, hold on!"

"Hey Kevin," Amber shouted to the figure behind her, "race you to the stables!"

"You're on!" The two pegasi raced neck in neck until they reached the stables.

"Darien, would you like to go for a race?" Amber shouted to her brother. "Would you like to come too, Melodia?"

"Why don't we make it a picnic?" Melodia suggested.

"Good idea." Amber replied. Moments later Melodia returned with a basket. "Every one, mount your pegasi," Amber motioned as she spoke, "Here are the rules: You may fly but below the trees only, we will race from here to the Lake of Tranquillity, and you MUST, I repeat, MUST stick to the road. Jadite will you set us off?"

"Of course, your majesty. On your mark...........Get set............GO!" And the four friends set off. Darien was in the lead on Midnight, his black pegasus, followed by Amber on Aurora, who was catching up rapidly. Next was Kevin on Twilight and Melodia on Harmony. A curve in the road caused Midnight to land giving Amber the lead. Darien couldn't stand to let Amber win this one. 'I'll look like a fool in front of Melodia.' Darien thought to himself.

"Midnight up." Darien urged. They flew above the trees. 'Ha, Amber will not defeat me this time.'

"Darien," Midnight called to his rider.

"Yes?" Darien answered.

"Isn't that your Mother's carriage?" Darien looked ahead of him. Sure enough, there was the gilded carriage being pulled by his mother's two pegasi, Joy and Dove.

"We better go tell the others." They began descending into the trees.

"Darien, you are a cheater!" Amber said when Darien rode up beside her.

"Yes I know, but Mother has returned home. I believe she has The Moon Queen and Princess with her."

"Oh no! We must turn back at once! Everyone turn and head back to the stables! Mother has returned and has important guests. Stay below the trees but take the shortcut!" Amber shouted. They made their way back to the stables and rushed into the Palace. They rushed into sitting room and bumped into each other. They then took their places.

"Queen Serenity and Princess Serena, may I introduce you to my son, Prince Darien, and my daughter, Princess Amber." Queen Hope said. Both Amber and Darien stood up and bowed to The Queen and her daughter who were on the loveseat. " And this is Kevin, Earth's Galaxy Warrior, and Melodia, tutor and friend of the Royal Family." Kevin and Melodia stood up and bowed.

" I am Queen Serenity and this my daughter, Serena." Queen Serenity said as she stood up. "Princess Amber," Queen Serenity moved toward Amber, "I am here to inform you that you are now a Sailor Senshi. You are Sailor Earth, the Protector of Music and Guardian of Memories. You will come to the Moon in one month to start your training as a soldier."

"I am speechless, thank you Queen Serenity I will try to uphold my duty to my planet and to the Moon. This is a great honor." Amber replied. "May I bring my advisor Demeter to the Moon and Aurora also, your majesty?"

"Who is Aurora?" Queen Serenity inquired.

"Oh my pegasus."

"Yes you may bring her also."

"Thank you."

"Excuse me your majesty. May I accompany Princess Amber to the Moon? I am her bodyguard."

"Yes Kevin you may. You may also bring your advisor and your pegasus if you wish to."

"Thank you, you're too magnanimous (A.N.- means generous), Queen Serenity."

" Thank you Kevin, My daughter and I will stay here for a month and return to the Moon with Princess Amber." Amber was so excited she was a Sailor Soldier. Amber trained really hard the month before she left. She took lessons from Kevin, Darien, the guards, and Crystal. But one and a half weeks before she was to leave she fell ill. She kept getting worse and worse. Everyone feared she was going to die.

"Thank you Lady Beryl. I wish I knew what was wrong with me." Amber said as Beryl placed a cup of liquid on Amber's nightstand. Beryl sensing that Amber's end was near decided to impart a secret to Amber.

"I know what is wrong with you, Princess Amber." Beryl said.

"You do. Will you please tell me? I'd like to know what I am going to die of."

"Poison! You are dying of poison!" Beryl replied with a sneer. Kevin, who was standing in the antechamber of Amber's room, heard Beryl through the closed door. He went to find Queen Hope. "Yes poison, sweet little Amber. I did it! I hated you and your mother so! I poisoned you and have been poisoning you continually. They will find out what you died of when you're gone. Melodia will get the blame." Beryl laughed evilly.

"But why would you let your sister take the blame?"

"She isn't my sister! My parents found her three years before you were born! She was special to them and so talented. Me, I couldn't anything next to the great Melodia! They'll believe she did this so she could get throne when she marries Darien and he becomes King! Then I'll be the greatest and then I'll marry Darien and become Queen!"

" Beryl, how could you!" Queen Hope shouted. " I trusted you. I gave you almost everything." Queen Hope, Queen Serenity, and Kevin had bee listening at the door. "I have no choice. Beryl you are under arrest for attempted murder. Your trial will be held on the Moon. Malachite put her in the dungeon. I am so sorry Beryl, but I have no other choice."

"You will regret this, Hope and Serenity. You will!" Beryl shouted as she was led away.


Amber looked put her window. The Earth was so small from up here. She had been here for a year. Training was easy. She met the other planetary princesses. They were Princess Ami, Princess Mina, Princess Raye, Princess Lita, Princess Amara, Princess Michelle, Princess Hotaru, and Princess Trista. Ami was Sailor Mercury. Mina was Sailor Venus. Raye was Sailor Mars, Lita was Sailor Jupiter, Amara was Sailor Uranus, Michelle was Sailor Neptune, Hotaru was Sailor Saturn, and Trista was Sailor Pluto. Every sailor had different powers. Amber learned hers were of music. "Earth Harmony Blast!" Millions of little musical notes were sent out from her two hands, knocking the dummy off. Her uniform consisted of a brown skirt and a green Bow. She had brown knee high boots that tied. Queen Serenity gave Amber a very powerful weapon to welcome her to the Moon. "Earth Moon Alliance Rod" A staff appeared in Amber's hands. It had a heart on the end and in the heart are two eighth notes at the top and a moon at the bottom. "Earth Harmony Javelin!" Sailor Earth hurled the staff at one of the dummies in the training ground. It knocked the dummy to the ground. "Return!" The staff returned to Amber's hand. Amber decided to lay down for the night.

As she snuggled into her bed here on the Moon, she remembered all that had happened over the last 12 months. Beryl had been found guilty of attempted murder and had been banished to the Negaverse. Darien broke off the engagement with Melodia a month after Amber left. He wrote Amber saying that he could not trust her anymore for what her sister did to Amber. Darien then began to court Serena and had proposed to her a month ago. The wedding was planned for next July when the roses on Earth would be in bloom. That was a year from now. Melodia was still trusted by Queen Hope. Queen Hope told Amber that she knew Melodia wasn't Beryl's sister and also told Amber that Melodia was a Galaxy Sailor Soldier. Amber was going to go home in a few weeks to stay for a couple of weeks before she returned to the Moon with her family for a ball. Amber looked out to see the Earth and she missed her mother even more. She settled into bed knowing she would have training in the morning and it would be tough since Amara was going to teach her a little. Amber rolled over and went to sleep dreaming of home.

Ch. 3 will be out soon. It will deal with the End of the Silver Millennium, and the deaths of Queen Hope, Melodia, and Queen Serenity! Hope you enjoyed it!
