Okay folks READ THIS BEFORE YOU READ THE STORY BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As some of you will eventually notice, this is an Alt. reality fic. I've done an extensive amount of research on Greek Mythology and I thought about writing what I think make more 'sense'(to me n-e-way) concerning the story of Selenity and Endymion. For those of you who are completely unaware Sailor Moon is loosely based on the story of Endymion and Selenity. It's a very...uh...interesting story if anyone gets the chance to read it.
F.Y.I.

Big Disclaimer right here folks!!! I knew practically nothing on the story of those two until I came across a wonderful site www.greekmythology.com it's a great site, and I was quite surprised that not many sites had info on those two. So all my info on horses names and children's names all came from that site! I claim no ownership!!! Oh and of course I don't own Sailor Moon!
"Helios? Helios dear brother, where have you hidden at now?"
Eos the Goddess of Dawn pushed her horses, Lampus and Phaethon onwards around the Earth. She was quite late this morning in joining her brother Helios in his daily ride for the bringing of the sun.
"Silly sister! Helios went home!"
Eos turned her head to see another chariot approaching hers, concealed by the darkness of night fall. Her lips twitched upwards, she knew that voice by heart.
"Serenity...what do I owe the pleasure of your....visit?"
Serenity stopped her chariot beside her sisters, she pulled her lantern up to her face. Showing her pale, yet beautiful face, her silver hair falling about her delicate skin.
"Helios was concerned. When you failed to meet him on Olympus as per your job."
Serenity gave off a sweet laugh, at her sisters face of her reminder of tardiness.
"Oh come now dearest one, tonight you will ride with me if you so desire."
Eos nodded eagerly, for she loved her sister dearly, though they did not see much of each other, and just the thought of joining Serenity thrilled her. Eos walked onto Serenity's chariot causing her own to gallop off into the distance, back to Mt. Olympus. Eos turned to her sister.
"Well shall we be off Sere?"
Serenity only replied with the light whip of the reins, as her horses galloped to finish the task at hand, to bring night upon all of Gaea.

"If I told you once, I've told you a trillion times! I will not have my name found on the same piece of parchment as those...those...barbarians!"
King Endymion burst through his conference doors, angered by the latest take-over of the islands surrounding his kingdom.
"Your highness?"
King Endymion growled in the back of his throat, but not turning around he replied.
"What is it now Perseus?"
The man just chuckled at his friend.
"My lord you must learn to control your temper. What would your people think if they saw you now raving like a mad man, and at the son of Zeus nonetheless?"
Endymion glared at his companion.
"With people like yourself who needs those barbarians from the island."
Endymion walked out of his palace into the coolness of the night sky.
"Ahh...why can not every day be as peaceful as this? Where the serenity of the moon can heal and transfix a man at the same time?"
Perseus ran his finely tanned hand through his golden blonde hair. His green eyes searched for a distraction to keep his lord from spouting more poetic words.
"Look in the sky Endymion, Helios let's his horses rest as his siblings take to the night sky."
Endymion looked up to indeed see a rush of silver fly pass far up into the heavens, angelic laughter could be heard. Endymion turned to his friend.
"Tell me how you would perceive me if I admitted to wanting to give into my desires and flee from this war bidden kingdom to attend to sheep and sleep peacefully under Serenity's watchful eyes?"
Perseus laid a hand on Endymion's shoulder, he could feel the tension layed between the both of them now.
"You must do as your heart desires, you should not be a slave to this kingdom. You are a man of excitement and adventure, do not be fooled by the jewels and money, do as you please."
"Would you attend to the kingdom my friend?"
Perseus nodded hesitantly.
"It will be quite hard following in your gracious foot steps but I think it better that Andromeda and I settle somewhere with our little sprite."
Endymion smiled as the tension between the two men softened.
"Even as I may be free, you will still be a slave to your precious Andromeda, is that not correct in any way....Andy?"
Endymion's voice raised to a woman's pitch, which made both the men break out into laughter.
"By the God's! I'll never understand why you call me by that godforsaken name? Are you incapable of pronouncing Pre-se-us?"
He let each syllable pass his lips in a slow manner, he turned his head slightly.
"Perhaps it would be better if you left the kingdom to me, it seems that your people are in dire need of a glorious king, one capable of at least pronouncing his courts names!"
Endymion growled and grabbed his friend by the shoulders.
"Come now, half mortal-half god, lap dog! I think I should return you to your master to relay to her your news."
Perseus went willingly with his friend, a sarcastic smile lingering on his handsome face.
"Do you believe that perhaps this time my Master will present me with a bone of a boar or a more prestigious animal?"
Endymion slapped his friend back in laughter, as they both went forth to find Andromeda.
