Ok, I'm hoping to finish this by Christmas, I dunno though; I have to be in
the mood to write so I can never know for sure.
Serenity sighed heavily, that seemed so far away now, though it had only been 2 months. Now, she sat outside in her garden gazebo. She wore a crimson dress with a heavy matching cloak. Snow was falling around her, this had been the place she had parted with him..
"Endymion!" The Queen fell into his arms, It was sunrise and he was leaving in 10 minutes. Lenora was playing with a doll at their feet. "Why! Why us, why now, why ALL of you. I can't change anything that's happening. I'm so helpless, and all of you are leaving, except my Lenora." The child looked up upon hearing her name.
"That's not true Serenity. You know I'll speak with you everyday, and so will Mina, Marcus, Eric, Adrian, and even Chad. Besides, Luna and Artemis will be here with you. I'll be home before you can even miss me, I'm confident in Anika. Her planet has a great idea on how to trap the people of the star." She held him tighter suddenly.
"Endymion..."
"YOU'RE HIGHNESS! IT'S TIME TO GO!!!!!" One of the few soldiers going with him called. Endymion looked into Serenity's eyes. She met his gaze, and pulled away from his grasp, she held her hands at her chest.
"Endymion, I'm scared, not like I have been before. Here I am, my scouts are gone, all of them but one, who is completely changed, my husband is leaving, and all of my protection is going as well. I don't have any more tears to shed Endymion, my eyes are dry now, and I know that losing you would destroy me. I'm scared that I'll lose you, and then it will kill me and Lenora will have no one, and what would happen to the future of the moon. We don't have an heir yet." He tried to speak but she silenced him. "You have to go now, but as your wife I will be honest with you. I will not be unchanged when you return, but that is no one's fault. So go now Endymion, you be a king and I shall be a queen. Go and fight and win, win back our power and I'll keep up the home front and try to contact Pluto. Maybe this can turn around, now go, they're waiting for you." She went up to him and kissed him in a formal farewell, then stepped back. He just stared at her, an expression of neglect and hurt on his face, his brow showed confusion and his eyes showed pain.
"Serenity? That's all? Why are you so callous?" She didn't answer. "Serenity! If you won't then I will."
"You will what?" He leaned in, pulled her tight to him and lifted her face to look at him. She squirmed slightly. He whispered,
"I know you're hurting, and you don't want to lose me, I can't bear the thought of never seeing you again either. But pretending not to care won't make it any easier, so what I will do is this, a proper good bye." Gently her lifted her chin up and met her lips with his own. She resisted at first, trying to stay formal, but then his words penetrated her mind, she couldn't pretend not to love him. She dragged her arms up and around his neck. In this simple act both husband and wife felt something more than what was visible. The pain and anger had a chance to leave them, and this kiss brought the hope of victory and a mental blessing from Serenity to her husband, that he may return to her. Serenity seemed to feel that once long ago, she may have performed this same act with tragic outcome, and maybe this was not their only lifetime together. She seemed to feel the depth of their love, and a sense of déjà vu suggested to her that destiny had forever affected them, but the doubt was still there, what if..
"ENDYMION!! WE MUST GO!" Adrian called this time, and the two parted. Adrian seemed happy to be doing something, as did all the others.
"Serenity, be safe."
"And you, come back to me. I don't want to watch from the hangar, I want to see you from here." He nodded, said a final good bye to both wife and child, and turned quickly. Serenity listened for 5 minutes, heard the count down, heard the blast off, and then, there it was, a royal space shuttle disguised as nothing. As the silver ship emerged and became a blur to Serenity, Lenora spoke.
"Gone..."
"What did you say?"
"DADDY GOOOOONNNNEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!" The child wailed and collapsed at serenity's feet. A hand fell on her shoulder, startling the queen.
"Luna! She's talking again!"
"I heard. Hold her." Serenity obeyed, and the child whimpered on.
"Lenora," Serenity asked quietly, "Why are you crying so hard?"
"Daddy GONE! Not coming BACK!"
"Whaaaat? No don't say that Lenora, he'll be ok, really."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! NO LET HIM COME HOME! EVVVVEEEERRR!!!!!!!" She wriggled free and ran back to the palace. Serenity fell onto a bench, quite upset.
"Luna...? Why..." Luna sat next to her.
"The child is confused. Let her be for now." The queen nodded and looked up to the sky again.
"He's gone."
"I know, so's mine."
"WHAT? Why? Artemis can't go he'll miss your first child's birth!"
"He's not staying long, he's just curious; besides, you know how protective he is of Mina." Serenity sighed.
"Very well, when will he come back?"
"In about a month."
