*Four years later.*

*It is the Age of the Silver Millenium.*


The five children sit in a circle giggling at each other's antics.

The one with blue hair blows into her hands as bubbles emerge from her palms. The tall one pops the bubbles with the sparks that fly from her fingers. The one with the coal-black eyes provides warmth and light with the fire in the cup of her hands. The fair-haired ones play together with their kittens, one dark as night the other bright as day.

The princesses from the Inner Planets had become close companions of the moon princess. The Inners only saw the Outer Planet princesses on occasion--the Outers had a more mysterious upbringing. The royal family of the Blue Planet was completely unknown to them.

Though they were all of equal station, the other princesses knew that there was something more to the moon princess. She seemed somehow above them. She was the only one among them without a father--this meant that she would one day have sole control of the Moon Kingdom, for there was no King to arrange a marriage for her. She would also possess the Imperium Silver Crystal, the most powerful object in existence.

They should have feared her and her power. But she was so gentle and full of love. They could fear nothing from this fair and delicate little being. They were as close as sisters.
