This is Rini/Elios, though Rini is Selenity in this, and there is the possibility of other romances later. Also, there are adult circumstances in this that might be disagreeable to parents. I take no responsibility for children reading this when they are not allowed. I do not own Sailor Moon.

Two spirits joined one another at a crossroads in the realm of the dead, one a fair maiden and the other a handsome gentleman. They had met before in life to help save an entire race, and now again they would help to save another from the apocalypse that had taken their lives before. "It comes," she said, "but we are no longer living, so how might we help them?" He waved a hand and a vial appeared in it. "We must let her go and pray that the right one finds her. I know that it is not your first choice, but we have no other choice now." With that, he opened the vial and sent it through a portal to the world of the living. The essence shot forth into the Crystal Palace, stopping at an elevated courtyard, and appearing in the form of a child. She looked to be two or three years old, and was fair skinned with jet-black hair. Upon seeing no one in the immediate area, she began to cry. It was the middle of the night, so the only person who heard her was the fourteen-year-old Princess Lady Selenity, who opened her door to invite the frigid winter night into her chambers, her bare feet receiving a sharp pain as she stepped on the icy walkway.

"Hello?" She called blearily, just loud enough for her voice to reach the edge of the balcony, and therefore encompass the entire courtyard. The child wore a nightgown just as sheer as the princesses, so when she wiped her tears with the sleeves, the cold wetness soaked through, and she cried harder. Selenity followed the sound of the girl's voice and found her curled up under a stone bench, attempting to fight the cold by pulling herself as close as possible to the banister behind the bench. "Hello, who are you?" The princess asked gently, and the girl looked up at her with large, green eyes. "Illa luna mi cartina?" The young princess gasped; the girl was speaking to her in Lunarian, she'd asked why there was a moon sigil on the princess' forehead. "Isi luna royale namme Selenity, wie mi isi?" The girl smiled slightly; the princess had told her that she was a moon royal named Selenity and had asked again who she was. "Isi no." Princess Lady Selenity sighed; the girl had no name. "Isi mi... Gwenyth?" Gwenyth meant 'fair' in Gaelic, and it was the perfect description of this girl, who nodded at the name.

"Sie!" The girl exclaimed.

"In roam ga wie, Gwenyth, mi ha no ma, ric?" Princess Selenity waited for the girl's response, which was that she had no family. Tomorrow, she would take the girl to her mother and figure out what she was doing in her courtyard. The princess picked up the little girl and brought her inside. Gwenyth plopped down in the corner of the room, onto a beanbag chair, and went to sleep almost immediately. Princess Selenity glanced at her (also) sleeping guardian and wondered how the cat would react to the girl once she woke up.

Diana blinked a few times before waking, and when she turned around to wake Princess Selenity, she discovered, to her utter shock, that there was another person in the room. Gwenyth had moved in the night, and was now curled up against Princess Selenity's stomach. "Neo Queen Serenity!"

Gwenyth woke in a different room than she'd fallen asleep in. She looked upward and saw Princess Selenity staring off into the courtyard adjacent to the room, at which point she yawned and stretched. "Princess Selenity, where am I?" The princess turned her attention to Gwenyth. "Come on sweetie, mother had you moved to this room, but she said that when you woke, we were to come to the conference room at once." After the princess helped her dress in some warmer pajamas, she carried Gwenyth to the conference room and they sat in a large chair across from a woman with long silver hair and a moon sigil on her forehead that could only be Selenity's mother. "Hello, you must be Gwenyth, my name is Serenity." Gwenyth smiled and nodded. "Hi." Both women made her feel calm, so she instantly trusted them. "Now child, Selenity tells me that you have no family, where did you come from?" She shrugged. "I don't know, one minute I wasn't, and the next I was." Serenity glanced at Selenity with a bit of surprise.

"Princess Selenity has been very nice; she took me out of the cold last night!" She continued. Serenity nodded, and she and Selenity started speaking in a language that she didn't understand. Gwenyth remained silent until they spoke in her language again. "Gwenyth, how would you like to stay with us?" The girl positively beamed at the queen.

"Really?" She squealed, and Serenity nodded.

"Well then Selenity, since you are so inclined to take Gwenyth in, I shall put her in your charge. Gwenyth, Selenity is going to be your mother, I think it would benefit both of you since you both seem so taken with each other." Princess Selenity's eyes widened. "Mother? Are you quite serious?" Gwenyth saw the glimmer of excitement in the princess' eyes. "Of course, Selenity, it is about time you learned about what it takes to be a mother. This time, I'll be here to help, but when you're married with your own blood children, you won't need my help so much. You taught me to be a mother when I was fourteen, so I am paying you the same respect, but only if Gwenyth agrees to it." Gwenyth nodded excitedly. "I agree!" Selenity smiled gently. "Our first order of business will be to teach you Japanese and English though; no one speaks Lunarian anymore."
