Oh! And in the last chapter I made a HUGE mistake!!! Mamoru and Usagi weren't their names back then! So just pretend I typed Endymion and Serentiy..lol… Thanks again!

Chapter 1:

Endymion looked out towards the black horizon; the black clouds hadn't left ever since Beryl attacked. He felt sick, he had found his parents bodies, bloodied and burnt beyond recognition. The only thing that remained was the pendant that his mother wore. Endymion now clutched the necklace tightly in his hand. He thought only of Serenity, how she had sobbed when he told her he must leave. He remembered her words….

"How? How can they make you do this?! You are too young! They cannot send you to war! They can't send you to your death! I love you!! They can't…..They can't take you away from me…" She had broken down then, sinking to the floor of his chambers. He held her that night, all night, watching her tear streaked face, so peaceful in sleep.

Shaking his head at the memory, he rested it against the wall, watching outside as the war raged on.

Beryl's attack had been unsuspected; she had come without mercy and was killing off Earth's warriors with increasing speed. He had been gone a month now, and had fought in the grueling battle. It was worse than he could ever imagine, and he hoped beyond hope that nobody had to see the things he did; feel the things he did. He looked at his hands; and he could see them, stained with blood, the blood of innocents on his hands.

"Serenity," he whimpered, "I miss you so…my love."

"Your Highness!" Zoisite's voice cut into his sulking. He turned quickly, sliding his emotionless mask back into place.

"What is it?" Endymion asked.

"Beryl's army is coming closer, they are soon going to be at the castle! We need you out there now!" His voice was urgent. Endymion nodded quickly, armed himself, and walked down through the castle doors.

~***~***~***~***~***

Serenity sat on the windowsill, staring blankly at the rose garden. 'Endy made that for me…' she thought. The very thought of her prince almost brought her to tears again. "I miss you so much Endy, please come back to me." She whispered softly as a crystal tear fell from her eye. There was a sudden knock on the door and then her mother rushed in. Queen Serenity looked troubled, her silver hair had strings of…what looked to be blood in it.

"Mother? What happened?!" The princess asked fervently.

"It's Endymion, Serenity, he's been hurt! Badly…he needs you!" The queen was frantic, scared beyond belief. She had come to know Endymion as her own son and was scared for his life.

Princess Serenity slowly brought her hand to her mouth. "No," she whispered, "no!" She immediately ran out of her room and towards the infirmary, where she beheld a sight that she never wanted to see.

Endymion lay on a bed, soaked in his own blood coming from a gaping wound in his chest. His face was in a tight grimace, beads of perspiration running down it. His four generals stood off to the side, looking worriedly at their King, their friend. She looked at them now, Malachite, Nephrite, Jedeite, and Zoisite. Endy's four most trusted advisors. She quickly turned her attention back to Endymion, watching with tears running down her face as nurses and doctors attempted to stop the blood flow. He was in complete agony, she could tell by the look on his face, she wished for nothing more than to ease his pain, give her life for his.

Finally, the doctors moved away, and Endymion saw her, his princess, standing in front of him.

"Sere!" he exclaimed though horse and strained. She smiled at him, the most beautiful sight he has ever seen. She walked over to him calmly. "Don't talk my love, save your strength."

He nodded slightly, relaxing back into the bed.

"He should be fine, he just needs a lot of rest. The blood loss does concern us, but he should be as good as new in a couple weeks," The doctor explained. Serenity sighed in relief, hugging Endymion.

There was suddenly a deafening shriek, shrill and loud, echoing thoughout the palace.

Malachite stood deathly still, and suddenly yelled, "Beryl! She followed us!"
