Hello you all. I know, I know. I should be working on Fake Princess and ANW, but this is something I've been thinking about for quite some time. This is a serious one, actually, dealing with a lot of emotional things. I hope you like this one as much as you liked the others. Onto the prologue.

Sweet Sixteen

Since the dawn of time, the royal family of the moon kingdom as upheld a tradition. The queen was allowed to have only one child and that child had to be female. If the child was a male, it's be either beheaded or given to another family. The daughter would be named Serenity, after the first queen, Serenitia. When the princess reached adult hood, she would marry. Adult hood for a Lunarian would be the age of sixteen, when the moon symbol finally embedded itself onto their forehead. At that age, not only was she betrothed but the princess was also given the moon emblem, the silver crystal, which held a great amount of power. Then she would take reign over the moon kingdom and become the queen.

For millions of years, the moon as kept this tradition going. That is, until the Silver Age, or better known as the Silver Millennium. In the Silver Age, the moon kingdom was attacked and destroyed. The princess as well as her prince was murdered, and the queen sent them and every other being that was murdered into the future, one thousand years away where they'd all be reborn.

When the princess, Serenity, was reborn though, her path was quite different from her ancestors. She, with her prince and senshi, was to be a warrior and fight along side her guardians. When peace was upheld, she would Queen and have a daughter as it was meant to be. But peace was never upheld and Serenity, known as Usagi, would never be Queen, for something terrible and unforeseen happened one day that no one would forget. She was murdered again and this time would not be reborn. Her daughter, born when her mother was only eighteen, was to take her place. But Usagi the second had watched her mother die and on that day her life took a drastic turn.

And thus begins the story of the princess of the Golden Age.

This is only the prologue, I hope you liked it and if you didn't…*shrug* continue reading, you might like it more than you thought you would. Thanks for giving this a chance; I'll write more later on. (Serenitia is pronounced 'Serr-en-it-ee-uh')

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease,
