*Epilogue*

The great hall of the Palace glittered like diamonds in the snow as
Queen Selenity walked to where her husband was seated with their guests.
One hand was placed on her gently swollen abdomen, a testament to
Endymion's word. She smiled at him, taking her place next to him, as he
gently captured her hand and kissed the back of it.

It had been almost a year since they'd awoken in a field of ice and
snow together, their guardians and the senshi nowhere to be seen. In
front of them had been a palace of glittering crystal, silver and gold
highlights sewn throughout the structure, beckoning them. The spirits
of the moon and earth had appeared to them then, explaining the
circumstances under which they had awakened. The world had blanketed
the people in ice, freezing them until Selenity and Endymion would use
their crystals to revive them.

The senshi were sleeping soundly where they'd fallen, under the
layers of ice and snow. Luna had not had the will to live, and had
returned to the moon in spirit form to be with her husband. They would
be reborn, as cats, on earth when time began moving again. The palace
had been presented to them as a thank you for hearing the almost silent
cry for help and responding in time.

Endymion had proceeded to check out the palace and, under the
spirit's instructions, began to shape a home from it. Furnishings
appeared, the Palace taking on a life of its own. The city around it
spread out in a circular fashion, the Palace on top of a rise in the
centre. When the city had been completed, shaped to cause the Earth the
least pain, Endymion had kept his promise to Selenity as the rest of the
world slept. In the aftermath, the magic of their coupling had sent
ripples to the furthest edge of the Solar system, awakening the senshi
and bringing them forth again for duty.

Selenity's hand slid gently over her abdomen again. The life
growing within her was proof that she'd been able to conquer her fears.
She smiled as the doors to the hall opened, admitting her closets
friends. The senshi were dressed in their royal gowns, four handsome
young men on their arms. Her friends were happy. Rita and Andrew had
awoken remembering nothing, save for each other. They were currently
traveling the world with Bill and Mae.

The gathering this night was a celebration of Selenity's pregnancy.
She was four months along, starting to show, and it was great cause for
rejoicing. Luna and Artemis, barely nine months old themselves, were
seated to the side of the King and Queen's chairs. They'd both been
reborn, in the proper form and with their memories. Selenity found she
couldn't be any happier for them. Her friends took their places among
the room, and as King Endymion rose to greet them formally, Selenity's
mind was turning over her life. She'd come so far, and with the closest
of friends. And with that growth had come the promise of tomorrow. Her
line, their line, would thrive and continue to rule with a gentle and
just hand. Her smile was soft as she looked across the room. Her
destiny was fulfilled, yet, her journey had just begun.

The End.
