"She isn't going to come. I have betrayed my daughter and now nothing will ever be how we wished it to be." Selenity said sadly and Selene pulled her into her arms.
"Forgive me sweet daughter... I was wrong." She said and Selenity shook her head.
"So was I..." She replied and both women turned to look at the doors to the grand sanctuary. The Ceremony was about to begin.
White and Red roses were intertwined throughout the room and along the walls. Guests gathered on two sides of the alter where Selene now stood. The dome sanctuary was lighted by the skylights that formed the ceiling, the painted glass depicted pictures of the history of the Moon as the Holy Place had done as well. Selenity stood to the left, her eyes puffy and sad, and to the right stood the King and Queen of Earth. The violins began to play and the grand doors slowly opened. From the left, Princess Minet slowly walked forward, as from the right Endymoun, Prince of Earth, joined her. They joined in the middle, Minet slipping her arm through his. Slowly they walked toward the alter, the room fairly crowded but still breathable. Minet sucked in a deep breath, willing her tears to leave.
"Oh Serenity..." She said sadly to herself and she gripped tighter to her skirt. Finally they approached Selene. The Goddess herself would conduct the Ceremony.
"Kneel." She commanded and they slowly got on their knees side by side. She wanted to stall but what could she do? "Today... we join the Earth and the Moon together in harmony." She announced and she turned to the alter. On it rested holy water that had been kept beneath the Holy place and had come directly from the Imperium Crystal. It helped to bond any who interacted with it and said the vows forever. Their minds would forever be linked and nothing could ever seperate them... but death. They would be one forever. She slowly began the incantation of marriage, she went over every word as slowly as possible and Minet and Endy bowed their head. Slowly she dipped her thumbs into the water and moved to rub them across the two's foreheads which would seal the covenant forever...
The doors to the sanctuary flung open.
"Stop!" A female voice cried and Selene gasped. Selenity straightened and jumped from her chair.
"Serenity!" She cried as she watched her daughter race up the long aisle, her silver hair flying behind her. Minet sighed and relaxed, ripping off her veil, her long golden hair falling down her back.
"Finally..." She whispered and Endy looked at her shocked then turned to see Serenity racing towards them. She walked through them and walked up the steps to where Selene stood.
"I cannot let her do it..." Serenity said and Selenity smiled lovingly at her.
"Her?" Endy yelled jumping to his feet. Serenity turned around and stared at him then Minet.
"She is not the real Princess of the Moon... nor the true heir to the throne." Serenity said and Minet smiled happily and jumped to her feet removing the crown from her head.
"What is going on?" The King of Earth said utterly confused as he and his wife stood. Serenity gulped and looked at them then Minet and Endy. "If she isn't the real Princess... then who is?" He bellowed and Serenity rushed down the steps and into Endy's arms, placing a long and loving kiss on his lips. He blinked then wrapped his arms around her, gripping onto her as he deepened the kiss. Their lips warring for control. Selene and Selenity gasped and Minet's face brightened. She looked to her mother and her mother smiled happily... Minet was free. Slowly Serenity pulled away, her eyes opening to look into Endy's.
"I am sorry..." She whispered quietly and he sucked in a deep breath.
"Then it's true? You are going to marry my head guard?" He asked, his eyes betraying his ultimate pain at that revelation. Serenity gasped and took a step back shocked.
"What?" Minet gasped and turned to look for Malichite but couldn't see him. "If you marry him I'll bust your wedding like you just did mine!" Minet said sternly and Serenity and Endy looked at her shocked. Malichite blinked at the statement then a grin spread across his features. Serenity opened her mouth but shut it, this was a little confusing.
"Who is the real Princess? Does she even exist?" The Queen of Earth asked confused and everyone looked at Serenity.
"Serenity... who is the Moon Princess?" Selene asked quietly looking at her. Serenity turned to look at her, her silver hair flowing down her back. Serenity stayed quiet for a long time and then just looked down. Selene sighed sadly. "If the real Princess is not found then Minet must take her duties as closest of kin and marry Prince Endymoun..." Selene said and the King and Queen of Earth exchanged a glance between them, confusement washing over them.
"Tell them... Please Serenity..." Minet whispered quietly, grasping onto her arm tightly. "Serenity please..." Minet said her eyes filling with tears and Serenity looked at her.
"I..." She began and Selenity took a step forward but Selene made her stay back.
"Serenity." Selene said and Serenity looked back up at the goddess.
"I..." Serenity said again and glanced back at the crying Minet then at Selene and her Mother who had tears streaming down her face. It felt as if everything in the entire room had stopped and slowed down. She could hear Minet fighting down her sobs and her mother's silent tears. Selene was looking at her sadly, and then she turned to stare at Endymoun who was staring at the ground as if his whole life had just been shattered before his eyes. Her heart beat loudly in her ears and her breathing came in quicker shorter breaths. Everyone was staring at her... waiting for her answer.
"Serenity... tell them who you are." Minet cried and Endymoun's head raised and his eyes stared into Serenity. Realization and shock hit him and he took a step forward about to open his mouth when Serenity finally said it.
"I am the Princess of the Moon." She said loud enough for the room to hear. Her hand clutched her heart suddenly as a hurtful burning passed through her and then she fell to the floor unconscious. Minet fell beside her, Selene and Selenity collapsing to the floor as well. Amielle fell to the ground in the aisle and Litana fell near the doors, both out cold. Reilie collapsed unconscious into her husband's arms, and all had fallen at the same exact moment. Endy rushed forward, cradling Serenity in his arms. Malichite rushed to Minet's side as Zoy came to Amielle's lifting her head from the cold floor. Nephlight looked alarmed as he cradled Litana in his arms, looking up at the other guards who were all confused as well. Venet rushed to her sister and mother. No one knew what had happened.
"Serenity... wake up.." Endy desperately pleaded and she lay there in his arms unmoving. Unconsciousness had captured them all.
