Quest for the Orbs

Background:

About Sailor Orion:

Sailor Orion, the senshi of miracles is a posiverse senshi. She is not of the original ten. She is from another galaxy and is a separate entity.

~*~ Here is her story

When the universe was first created, the galaxy that Orion was in was composed mainly of stars. Many of them were the brightest stars know to man. Within these stars, that littered the cosmos, were people all united under one empire. The stars shone brightly. After the constellations had been established, all of the star people came together in the house of Solum and Solaria, the inhabitants of earth's sun. A very influential star at the time.

One of the star constellations suggested that the star people have strong leaders to rule their empire and a nearly unanimous vote cast Solum and Solaria as the emperor and empress of the new empire. It was agreed that the female ruler would retain the superior powers as men tended to be hot headed at times.

This was agreed upon and at Solaria's coronation, the eldest of the star people appeared bearing a gift. This gift was the sphere of Delos, a newly made key to the star empire which granted its bearer special abilities as well as command over the stars themselves.

Also created, were four orbs known as the orbs of Nova. Nova and his wife Auriga were the makers of these orbs. Possessing great power, no one orb is as destructive as all four put together. These four orbs can restore life or destroy it. They were originally made for the use of monitoring the stars, cases of life.

These four orbs of silver were also granted to the new Star Queen on behalf of the people of Orion. She promptly thanked Nova and decided that such an important item should remain with him and his people.

¨

As the years go on, the star empire is ruled peacefully. At least fifty years into her reign, Solaria fell ill. Her cousin, Andromeda, queen of a far off cluster of stars, attempted to take the sphere of Delos. At this point, it was given to Orion's current ruler who is coronated as the new ruler of the star empire. The people of the star kingdoms are led through a golden age of prosperity under each ruler of the Orion clan.

Thousands of years later, Auria (the heavenly one) and Nova 6 were the new rulers of the star empire. The two of them bear a single child and call her Oriana. She grows into a very dutiful and quiet young woman, given to the arts. Other than becoming future queen of the empire, her role is also that of an immortal warrior, a Salior Soldier of the Star Empire. Her role being to protect not only her kingdom, but the key and the orbs as well. Sometime during her childhood, Oriana is introduced to the prince of the North Star, who is known as Diya or Brightest Light. The two of them fall in love and become betrothed.

¨ ~¨

A while before this time, the star empire had worked to become close friends with the rest of the universe entities. Their most cherished friends, being the planets of the Milky Way. At the news of Solaria's illness and betrayal, they had grown quite close. Auria and her family had been invited to a party on the moon to which, Diya accompanied them.

During the party, Diya and Oriana wandered off deep into the castle to be alone. They were enjoying one another's company when they found out that they were suddenly being attacked. The armies of the moon were sent out and Diya volunteered to do what he could to help, against Oriana's wishes.

*~*~*~*

Oriana and Diya are deep within the halls of the castle:

"Diya, no. Don't leave."

"I have to. The armies need our help. Besides, I'll be fighting alongside your father."

"But Diya-"

"Don't worry, Oriana. I'll come back to you. I promise." He kisses her and she watches him walk off.

Tears begin to form in the eyes of the young princess. "Please come back to me, Diya."

~*~

The armies fought valiantly, but to no avail as most of them were lost, including Oriana's father. After the battle was over, the two queens stood together trying to be sure that all of the princes and princesses were alright. Oriana was nowhere to be found.

"I'm sorry, Auria, but we are running out of time. The servants have searched everywhere. She wasn't found."

Just when Auria was on the verge of tears, Diya was brought in by one of Serinity's servants. "Queen Serenity, we did find the Prince of North Star. He was trying to help the armies."

Giving a nod, she turned to look at her friend. "We can try to save him at the very least."

"Thank-you, Serenity. I'm sure his parents will appreciate that."

"Don't worry. Your daughter will be found."

"Oriana"

The two queens gazed at the young prince as he slowly opened his eyes and looked up at them.

"Brightest Light, are you alright?" The moon queen's face showed nothing but concern for the young man.

"Queen Serentiy, Empress Auria. Where is Oriana?"

"When Auria looked at him, tears began to well up in her eyes. "I do not know, Diya, I just don't know."

Serentiy, comforting her friend, placed an arm around the grieving empress. "It will be alright. She will be found."

At her words, Diya looked up and made a vow. "YesI promise youif I must search the entire universe myselfbe found." The young prince's words were followed by silence, having passed out with exhaustion and the pain of his injury.

Upon looking at his limp form, between the two servants, the tears began to make their way down Auria's face. "Don't worry, Auria. I know he will find her."

Managing to smile through her tears, she cast, her soft eyes on her friend. "Very well. Serenity, are you sure you want to go through with this?"

"I truly have no choice."

"I understand."

"I will send you farther ahead than I will the children."

"I have only one request, Serenity. When you transport me and my people, transport Diya as well."

"Why?"

"I want to have a reminder. He was her love"

"Say no more, Auria. I understand."

"Thank-you, Serenity. I will miss you."

"And I you."

The two hugged as friends for the last time, Serenity placing the Silver Imperium Crystal on Auria's forehead. This caused the Star Queen to lapse into unconsciousness. After this, Serenity transports her, Diya the star empire and the planetary kingdoms into the distant future. With the rest of the energy from the crystal, she transports the young princes and princesses a thousand years into the future before the crystal used all of her strength.
