A/N: No jokes here, folks.
This is a strictly Sailormoon point of view, specifically Queen Serenity
directly after she's sealed the Dark Kingdom in the Ginzuishou. It's dedicated
to all those who died September 11th, 2001 in the incidents in New
York and Washington DC, as well as the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. If
only we could help those victims as Queen Serenity helped hers.
The sky has so many stars….
I don't think I've ever quite noticed before just how beautiful-and lonely
space really is.
Lonely and dangerous…things
are hidden out there which we can't see. Things that never had anything to do
with us and can come and destroy our whole lives in an instant.
What have we done to anger
someone? Is it wrong to be happy? Is it wrong to be peaceful? I've lost those
most dear to me…my friends, my family… it all happened so fast, I didn't know
what was happening…
I knew I had to help. Knew I
had to do something to stop it…I reacted. And I…one woman, stopped it. But not
before it was too late. Not before they had been taken from me.
And even in the act of
stopping this…I was helpless. I was helpless to save my daughter, to save the
Earth Prince. I was helpless to save the Sailor Senshi…I was helpless to save
myself. At the mercy of that thing…that horrible thing that came from the dark
spot of the sun. Isn't it ironic that something which has provided light,
warmth and life could also send death and destruction?
Now…to the future…
I cannot rebuild. Not
without help. And I feel my strength leaving me…I cannot recover.
But I will make sure that
humanity will never forget what has happened here…
My daughter. I will send her
into the future on earth to have a normal life. A life where this will not
happen anymore. But I will not let her be vulnerable.
I will give her protection
against what I was so powerless. I will make sure she lives a bright life…
And with the last of my
strength I will send her to be reborn. I will send all of them to be reborn to
find happiness. And with them the memories, subconscious, of what has happened
here.
They will rebuild human
society. They will recover from this devastation. But they will not forget…
They will never forget. And
they will always mourn.
