Author Notes: I'm sorry this taking so long people but the revising of this story is taking a long time. The basic story line hasn't changed but I've transformed it enough that anyone who's read this before might want to skim through the story again. Disclaimer: I don't own GW, SM, or OS.

Immortal Habit: Prologue

'Father will fall, Mother will die, All gods know the time, The new shall rise from the old, As the forgotten takes the throne.

Three worlds will collide, A journey to the past, present, and future, To reach destiny in time, An ancient evil lives on in the heart of one, And killed by the two closest to it's carrier.

The Sun, the Earth, and once green planet shall reign supreme, The true leader hidden within the team, Our elder leaders though shall remain, For balance they must maintain, The crystal 'all gods' is the end of three times, The time of rebirth, The time of war, And the time of the old gods.

This is called the Prophecy of the Crystal Pantheon, a time where a new group of gods take over Olympus and bring the universe to peace. The prophecy was found at an archeology dig on the moon, sponsored by the Shepherd Org. The head of the organization believes that once upon a time intelligent life thrived on not only the moon but all the planets of the solar system.

There is a legend that I found in a book of mythology when I was younger. It seems to be somehow connected to this prophecy but it proves very little. The legend is called 'Serenity of the Moon'. Below is a version of the tale:

Once upon a time there was peace in the universe and life
flourished among the planets. This time was called the Silver
Millenium. All the planets of the solar system had humanoid life on
it and they all had banned together as the Silver Alliance. Their
supreme rulers were the Serenity's of the White Moon Kingdom.

During the rule of Queen Serenity Neona CMXCIX (999), an evil
known as Metallia began to destroy the Alliance. Queen Serenity used
all of her power and resources to protect her people, she even
reinstated the use of Senshi, planetary princesses sworn to proctect
the Lunarian heir and the Alliance.

On the seventeenth birthday of Princess Serenity Artemis M, a
war began between the planets of the Silver Millenium and Metallia's
army, known as the Negaforce. Metallia's general, Queen Beryl, wished
to have Prince Endymion of Earth and ignored Metallia's warning not to
attack the Moon Kingdom before the other planets had been destroyed.
Queen Beryl attacked the Moon, the capital of the Silver Alliance,
during the formal ball being held in young Serenity's honor. But
Serenity's mother, Queen Serenity, used the power of the Imperium
Silver Crystal to keep the enemy at bay while her daughter and her
court escaped to safety. Queen Serenity never joined her daughter and
was presumed dead.

For a year the princess was locked in a secret room of the
queen's. In this time the Earth prince, Endymion, became infatuated
with Princess Serenity and asked King Helios for his stepdaughter's
hand in marriage. The King misunderstood his stepdaughter's feelings
for Endymion and consented to the marriage and a date was set for
after the Princess' eighteenth birthday.

The princess was furious and refused to look at the prince or
talk with her father for she had fallen in love with a Prince of Mars
named Actaeon and he loved her back. So for a year very little was
said about the marriage but when the Princess' eighteenth birthday
came about preparations were quickly made. For the first time in a
year the royal court came out of hiding for the engagement party of
Princess Serenity of the Moon and Prince Endymion of Earth. The other
princesses of the inner planets were to be married also to the Four
Generals of Earth. This was not a happy occasion for any of the
princesses for they all loved others but their parents refused to
listen.

So late in the night, after the engagement party and guests had
retired from too much drink, each of the girls slipped away to their
beloved's arms. They had prepared to runaway but while climbing the
palace gates the Negaforce once again attacked the Moon Kingdom and
this time achieved the ultimate goal: destruction. The young lovers
were the first to be killed.

Later that night after she had sealed the evil power of the
Negaforce into her crystal, the living Queen Serenity made one last
wish on the Imperium Silver Crystal. She wished that her daughter,
court, and their lovers would be sent into the future to live their
lives and complete their destinies. Then the Queen smashed the crystal
under her foot into seven crystals and scattered them across the
Earth, the only planet to not be totally destroyed by the Negaforce.
And so with the loss of the crystal's power the Queen faded away
thinking that she had ensured her daughter's happiness. But this was
not so for the during the souls' trip to Earth half of the group was
sucked into a black hole and shot through time.

The groups had been split in two, the princess, her court, and
their betrothed were reborn in 1982 A.D. and the young princes along
with a princess of the Sol Kingdom were reborn in A.C. 180, a thousand
years later.

Are Fate and Destiny kind enough to reunite souls?'

By Debbie Landler'

A woman with waist length silver hair and crystal blue eyes smiled slightly as she read article in the paper but the smile failed to reach her eyes.

'That's the first time I've heard the story told so close to the truth,' she thought, 'Ms. Landler must be a seer to have had so much correct.'

Suddenly a beeping noise came from her labtop computer signaling that she had mail. After the woman read the brief message she stood up and walked away from the small café in France, and threw her copy of the National Inquirer* over her shoulder and into a garbage can without a glance back. Something had triggered in her mind as she had read the article and she began to think about memories she had refused to acknowledge, memories a thousand years old....
