Chapter Five: When Darkness Begins to Fall
A wind blew over the face of Elysion and ruffled the young prince Endymion's hair as he stared out at the moon. He was dressed in a pair of pants only, choosing to sleep in light clothing on this warm night.
His heart was somewhat troubled by his father's newly given report when they had returned home. Rumor had it there was a woman in the eastern lands that was inciting a rebellion against the moon kingdom, saying they were overpowering the Earth. Unfortunately, the people of the land were agreeing with the woman. On hearing the news, though, his father dispatched a legion of soldiers to deal with the unruly woman and her followers.
His thoughts returned to Serena as he gazed at the moon again, closing his eyes as the warm wind blew over his body. She was there, and the next meeting, which was to be held on Mars, was still a month and a half away. Time moved too slowly for him, yet he knew that when the time came to be with her, it would pass by to quickly. Time was never his friend.

"Do you think all of this sitting around is good for her Rei? She's not done anything but stare at the Earth since he left," Minako said softly to the Princess of Mars as they peered in her door at her.
"I don't think it can harm her, but she definately needs to snap out of it. I mean seriously, you'd think she's fallen head over heels for the earth guy. She knows she's not allowed."
"Nothing good can come from it I agree, but do you think Serena honestly cares what will come of it?"
"You know Minako... I just don't know."
"Maybe I should talk to her," came a small voice from behind the two of them. "Surely she'll talk to me."
Mina and Rei turned and saw Luna, a small black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead, staring at the two of them. They smiled and reached down to pet her. "Really Luna? Will you?" Rei replied. "We're so very worried about her."
Luna winked at the two of them. "Don't you two worry one more bit about her. Just leave it all up to me. Now, go see if the queen has anything for you two to do."
"Thanks again Luna!" they whispered loudly as they bounded off down the hall.

"Something terrible is going to happen Luna. I can feel it in my heart every time I look at the Earth," Serenity said worriedly as she gazed at the planet before her. "That spot at the North Pole doesn't seem to be getting any smaller. It's only getting bigger."
"Serenity," Luna said in a soothing voice. "There is really no reason to get all worked up. I'm sure that Endymion and the King already know of it. They haven't said anything at the Alliance Conferences have they?"
"No," she replied almost doubtingly.
"Well think about it Serenity, if something were wrong they would surely tell the Alliance. You have nothing to fear."
"But what if they've only just found it?"
"Then it will be discussed in the next meeting."
"Luna...." She wined.
"Serenity," Luna chuckled. "I know you care for this Endymion fellow but you really should try to not worry yourself sick over him. I know what your going through, but you need to get out of the room and try to remain true to your normal life."
"But there must be something I can do."
Luna smiled and rubbed her head against her hand. "Be happy. That's what he would want."
Serenity looked down at Luna and smiled. "I guess your right...... so... What's for dinner?"

Slowly she climbed the small rise while the snow blew around her. She brushed her long brown hair out of her face and smiled. A smile full of malice as she invisioned the royal palace of the Earth and it's family. Especially it's prince.
~ You can have that prince you so desire Beryl. You just need to rid this world of it's Alliance and its infatuation with the Moon. ~
"No need to worry Metalia," she said as she remembered her words only moments before. "That retched Moon twit won't last long against me. I shall not let the Heavens allow it."
