Earth.
There are something in your life, that you can never have enough of. Like it has some kind of strange power, that words fail to describe it.
You are drawn to it, are sucked to it. You fly to it, blindly, willingly, like a moth to a burning flame.
Have you ever seen something so beautiful, so mysterious, so, blue...
So blue...that every time you look at it, you are mysteriously drawn to it...magnetised.
Like Earth...like his eyes.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

And just like that on a beautiful May morning, they arrived in Earth. The blue planet. It was an incredibly wet morning for a
summer day...but it was pouring.
'Something so familiar...so familiar...' Something tugged to the young princess's heart as if she never ever felt
socontent,like she was coming home.
The Teleportation Gateway was deep inside a forest, for secrecy protection. Though it was pouring, but it just made the whole
forest so greener somehow, a wet green, a cleansing green, a green so green that was hugging Serenity. She embraced the air
around her, the same wet air like the grass and the leaves.
She saw the sun through the leaves, in the rain, how odd.
"Welcome to Earth, your highnesses - Endymion paused, taking in a deep breath. He was home. He felt the blood in his vein
flowing hard, calling to the soil, blending in the air - let's make it to the Palace before we all catch a cold. Then, what a
welcoming present it would be - He chuckled again.
'Damn the man, and his irresistible chuckles' She thought. She looked at him, and in his eyes, she saw the same blue of the
Earth. It was a shade of a cold blue, but she could feel her heart beating faster and faster, echoing the rhythm of the rain.
They quickened their pace, trying to make it out of the forest, and not too later, the Palace was in their view.
The Imperial Earth palace looked gloomy in the distant, with a greyness surrounding it like the palace it self was raining.
Endymion took the Senshi through a long corridor, with the rhythmic sound of the rain, pouring on the roof.
Endymion stopped at the third turn, and the doors opened to a grand ball room. She breathed in the lavender scent, and she
saw...chandeliers, hundreds and thousands of chandeliers. She had never seen so many chandeliers in her life. Big, small,
classic, modern, golden, silver, thousands and millions of them, some are hung in mid air with touches of magic. She smiled. 'So Terrants do have a sense of art, too'.
"Ladies, welcome to our Imperial Terrant Palace. This room, your highnesses is the Candles Entrance. It was built in the 9th
century, there are exactly one million and thirty three candles in this room, all maintained by magic."
She took off her coat, and let the warmth of the candles to touch her cool skin. In all her life, she had never felt so warm, so much of magic filled inside of her, so touched. Millions of tiny flames flickered in her eyes, warming her,
soothing her, almost drowning her.
Suddenly, the double door opened, and four tall men entered the room. Their long cloaks were soaked, and their faces were
covered with big hoods. They bowed in front of Endymion.
"Your Highness" They said in union.
"Your hignesses, please meet the Terrant Imperial Royal Generals"
The tallest man stepped forward, and removed his hood. Silver hair fell on his shoulders. His eyes were a same colour of
piercing silver. Something about this man..
"I am Kunzite, the keeper of the Light"
All of the other men stepped forward, and removed their hoods. One had light blue eyes with blond hair. He looked rather
young, and had a rather mocking smile on his face.
"I am Joycite, the keeper of the Sea"
"I am Jedite, the keeper of the Fire" - said the young man in short brown hair. His brown eyes were warm and gentle.
"And I, am Nephlite the keeper of the Air" The last man bowed, his brown, wavy hair floated in the air.
She stepped up, and curtsied.
"I thank you for your hospitality and kindness. I am, Serenity, Imperial Princess of the Moon, and these are my Royal
Court, princesses of our respective Solar planets."
The Senshi stepped forward, and curtsied one by one.
"I am Rei, princess of Mars, Senshi of the Holy Fire"
"I am Makoto, Princess of Jupiter, Senshi of the Wild Thunder"
"I am Ami, princess of Mercury, Senshi of the Calm Ocean"
"And I am Minako, princess of Venus, Senshi of Eternal Love"
"It is a pleasure to be here and meet you all."
"No, princesses, believe me the pleasure is all ours" Jedite spoke, his eyes dancing, and teasing.
And then at that very moment, their eyes met. She shivered, and put her coat on.
"Generals, please take the ladies to their rooms, and do have some hot tea, it will feel much better - he turned and took her
small hand in his - And you, Princess, I believe your room is this way"
She resisted the childish urge to say 'Yes Mother', but she just smiled, she felt the warmth passing through his hand into
hers, and swept her away, it seemed he did.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_**_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

He took her through a big entrance door, and passed a fountain. All the colours were dancing in circle, which was quite
enchanting, really. She thought. And they said, Terrants don't use magic.
He small feet followed his lead, and never her hand left his. She felt hot in her coat. He stopped in front of large Double
French doors.
"Here we are, Princess"
She turned to look straight at him, her other hand found its way to his hand.
"Thank you"
"For what, pray tell Princess?"
"For everything. It is so beautiful here"
He just smiled.
"No, you are beautiful"
He felt her cheeks blushing, and smiled again. He had been smiling a lot lately, especially, it was impossible not to smile
in her presence.
"I believe it is night time in Lunarian time. I will be back around sun setting tonight, do get ready for the ball"
"A ball?"
He leaned closer to her, and kissed her softly on the cheeks.
"Sleep tight, Princess."
And like that. He was gone.

*switches POV*

It was one of those wet days that gives you strange mood to do strange things.
I was on a foreign planet for the first time, but I felt nothing foreign, only a touch of cosiness, of belong ness, like I
was always meant to be here.
I was finally there. Where every night I would look at the sky, and measure the distance between the stars in my hand, where
I would look at Earth, the blue orb.
I was finally there.

Earth.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

She saw him standing there, eyes transfixed on her, and a grin spread on his face. He started walking towards her, and she
could feel her heartbeats quicken.
She felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Sere, be careful, please?"
It was Raye. How she loved her hot-headed friend. She smiled.
"I will. Thank you"
She could read protectiveness in Raye's eyes, and she felt her heart beaming inside. But Raye will soon find out, may be not
now, may be not tomorrow, but soon, Raye will find out, just like she did, that he is to be trusted…even with their lives…

He took her hands in his.
"Serenity, dance with me"
It wasn't a question, but was more like a demand. She bowed.
"Certainly, your high..."
He leaned in closer.
"Serenity, please, it's Endymion"
"Endymion..." She repeated, the word still trembled on her lips.
He held her close to him, like he was afraid of loosing her.
"Serenity?"
She smiled. He hardly ever called her Your Highness, it was always Serenity.
"You know..when I was little, I asked my mother why Earth was so blue. She told me that Earth wasn't always blue, that a long
time ago, when the Goddess of Selene fell in love with a Terrant Shepherd, on Earth. She used to look at Earth each night and
cry..and so Earth was touched by her tears, the tears of true love, and it became blue, to remember their love forever. Like
a blue crystal....."
"..tear in the sky?" He spoke.
She looked at him in surprise. He was smiling down at her, his eyes grew hard.
"Tell me, Serenity, have you ever watched the moon from Earth?"
She felt her heart tugging so hard at her, almost it was hurting her...and she whispered.
"No, Endymion...I have not.."
He took her hand, and walked her to the balcony. There it was, the moon, shone ever so brightly, so round, so perfect, so
golden, just like her. She let out a gasp at the awe of the moon. She had never imagined. Her heart felt light, and she felt
all warm and fuzzy inside.
"It's breath taking, isn't it?" He spoke.
She couldn't speak, only tears were streaming down her face. She saw his smile through her watery eyes.
"Let's dance"
They danced in the moonlight, under the sky, with the faint scent of rose encircling them, enchanting them, casting a spell
upon them. A spell of something so exquisite....
A spell of love.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

And then, he kissed me again.
It was all that I could ever feel.
So whole, so complete.
So addictive.
He was like a flame, burning me, he was like the calm ocean, soothing me, he was like the strong wind, sweeping me away.
Where I was I knew not, what was happening to me I knew not, but I just knew one thing...
Something so magical, so precious, had found me, I was swept away, I was drowning…I knew it stronger than ever…it's flowing in every inch of my being.
I was in love.
With him.
With Endymion.
