Author's Note: Let me know what you think, I'm never sure if the chapters are too long or too short.
Callisto was late going to the ball as usual, she hated these things, most of them
were just men trying to impress her to become her husband. She walked down the stairs
and seen that the princess of the planets were there, including the outer princesses and the
Earth Princess. Callisto was wearing a silver dress, with a silver upside down cresent
moon attached to a black silk choker around her neck, and had her blonde hair pulled into
a twist. Her brown eyes looked for her 'fresh meat' as she liked to call them. She could
see Ryo the Prince of Mars talking to the princes of Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and her little
brother. She then seen the princes of Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto talking to each
other. 'I don't think I've met them, I'll go introduce myself.' she thought.
"Hello," she said "I'm Callisto, the Mo.." she said before she was cut off by the
Prince of Neptune, "The Warrior Princess." Callisto was used to this, many of the men got
mad because she had practiced her craft to near perfection, "I figured since we haven't
met before we could get to know each other, a little bit before tomorrow morning at
practice." "Well, if you must know, Princess Callisto, I am Sekhmet, the Prince of
Neptune." "Anubis the Prince of Uranus." "Dais, Prince of Pluto." "I am Kale the Prince
of Saturn, it is very nice to meet you." "Princess, can I interest you in a dance." Callisto
knew that voice, it was full of arrogence. She rolled her eyes before turning around.
"Prince Darien, I was execpting to see you tomorrow." "Well I thought we could dance
since neither of us are busy." She sighed, she thought that Kale was cute and wanted to
talk to him, but you can't turn down the Earth Prince. "Very well, let's just get this over
with."
Darien and Callisto were waltzing when Darien pulled her closer to him, and his
hands traveled to places they shouldn't have. "Darien, pull me closer." she said, then when
she was close enough she bit the side of his neck hard enough to make him bleed. "If you
ever touch me like that again you'll be seeing things the way your ass sees them." she
whispered fiercely in his ear before leaving him. "Bitch" he growled under his breath.
Kale and Sekhmet were watching the scene while Anubis and Dais were dancing
with some of the local girls. Kale smiled inwardly when she bit him. "Remind me never to
touch her ass." Sekhmet told Kale. "I'll try to remember that myself." Kale joked with his
friend. Callisto walked up to them "Prince Kale, would you like to have a tour of the
Moon Gardens and the training area?" "I would love to."
Callisto took him to the Moon Gardens. "This is so gorgeous in the winter." She
told him. She then got an idea, "I'll show you my favorite part of the Gardens." She took
him through a maze of bushes and then they came to a dead end after 20 minutes. "This is
your favorite spot?" He asked amazed, then she smiled at him and moved a huge block of
wall to reveal a ladder. "Watch out for the first step." She said smiling as she waited for
him to grab hold on the ladder. When he got down she balanced herself on the top step
while closing the slab of wall back into place. "Wow what is this place?" "It's an
underground tunnel system I found when I was little, follow me, there's this superb
room." She grabbed his hand and led him left 3 times.
Soon they arrived in a room decorated in marine blue, red, green, orange, pink,
dark blue, sea blue, garnet red, black, gold and silver with several candles. around the
room. There was a huge round table that looked to be made out of oak and pine.
Engraved on the table was the symbols of the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter,
Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto. Those symbols were in pairs, then there was a gold
one which he didn't recognize, but yet it seemed familiar. It was a symbol which was an
orb with 3 rings on each side. Kale looked around the room and was simply amazed.
"How did you discover this place?" "When I was little, I got lost in the maze, when I came
to this dead end I leaned against the wall and it moved, after a while I discovered that this
was part of the castle long ago, everyone forgot about it." "We'd better get back before
they come looking for us, how do you leave this tunnel system?" he asked since he was
lost. "Take a right then a left and go up the stairs." She showed him the way out and they
arrived infront of a door with the symbol of the Moon engraved in silver.
"Callisto." "Shit it's mom, quick, in here." She opened the door, and shoved him
in. "Callisto." She told Kale to get in the closet, and she started putting her battle gear on.
She heard her name again and yelled "Hold on." When she got her top and skirt on she
told Queen Serenity to come in. "What are you doing?" The Queen asked, watching
Callisto put her boots on. "I'm getting ready to go train while everyone else is busy." She
said putting her left gauntlet on. "Why?" "Because it's good for your body to train by
yourself, it relazes your mind, unlike when you train with other people." "Oh, ok then,
you'll just have to come listen to my announcement dressed like that." Callisto sighed
while putting her right gauntlet on. "Okay, mother I'll be there in a few minutes." she said
sheathing her sword and putting a dagger in her boot. She gently placed three poisonous
darts on her left gauntlet, and then hooking a disc onto her outfit. Queen Serenity nodded
and left. After Serenity left Callisto opened the closet door and let Kale out, she then
grabbed a midnight blue cloak off the rack and put it on, pulling the hood up over her
face. "You go ahead of me, I'll be there shortly." she said looking out the window and
seeing a shadow move. She sat on the windowsill before dropping off and landing
soundlessly.
Kale went back to the party and while he and the other outer princes were talking
he seen a shadowy figure come in and watch everyone.
Meanwhile outside Callisto was stalking something, when it turned around she was
engulfed in the shadows, she pulled the dagger out of her boot and started following the
thing infront of her.
Callisto heard a twig snap and she kept walking slowly, crouching, grabbing a boot
dagger and keeping it hidden inside her cloak. She listened intently and didn't hear
anything.
She was grabbed from behind and restrained, the dagger taken from her, she was
pulled away from the wall so as not to use it to her advantage. Her attackers held her arms
out to the sides. Callisto was forced to her knees and she held was held up by her hair.
"Well Princess, it's time to meet out prince." She heard one of them say. There were four
of them, two had her arms, one had her hair and another had her arms restrained by
holding her shoulders. The figure she was following came out of the shadows.
Callisto's eyes widened when she seen that it was Prince Darien. While she was
restrained he kissed her. When he pulled away she spat in his eye, and she was backhanded
for her trouble. He told her attackers to release her. She collected herself and ran back to
the ballroom, hoping that she wasn't too late for Queen Selenity's announcement.
