Nightfire
Sailor Triton of Neptune
Ariana Navarre let the cold ocean water wash over her feet as she stood on the beach, watching the sunset. Being near the sea had always calmed her and gave her some sense of comfort.
That morning, the plague that had already claimed the lives of so many, took her parents and younger brother. She had an older sister that was studying on Pluto so she was alone. She looked over the ocean, the steady rhythm of the waves stilled her whirling thoughts.
She sighed and walked back up the beach. She hated leaving the ocean- its was like leaving a part of herself behind. But now she had to figure out a way to survive until her eventual death that she had a feeling was not too far off.
Ariana had seen two plagues in her life but this one was by far the worst. Those who were not dead were sick and close to death. Once one got sick, it was rare that death was not far off. All around the dead were piled to be burned all around the city which lay around Triton Castle, home of the Neptunian royalty.
Ariana Navarre was the middle of three children, having a younger brother and an older sister. Her father had been a fisherman so their family was somewhat well-off. But now she was on her own.
That night she found a dry place under the dock to sleep, curling up against the cold wind. The next morning, she roamed the streets looking for food, carefully stepping over the dead. She knew that she should leave the city but it had been her home for her whole life and she had nowhere else to go. She sat on the doorstep of a deserted store, feeling dizzy. Spots seemed to dance before her eyes and even though it was winter, she felt hot. She got up, swaying on her feet. People passed by and glanced at her, avoiding her, not wanting to get the plague themselves.
Ariana made it to the beach before she collapsed.
Before the humans arrived on Neptune, there lived an ancient race all the merfolk. In legend, they were shown as half-fish, half humans however, the legends were mistaken. The merfolk were fish that could change to walk upon land, appearing as humans and possessed strange powers. Normally they stayed out of the affairs of humans for the most part, however, there were some things that they involved themselves in.
Ariana passed out as a woman walked out of the waves. Something had drawn her here, something that she had thought was the will of the sea god, Neptune.
Leaning over Ariana, the woman noticed the symbol of Neptune on the child's forehead, understanding now why the sea god would have such an interest in her.
Ariana woke some time later in a strange room, confused. The last thing that she had remembered was going to the ocean before she passed out. How she ended up here, she didn't know. She got up carefully and went over to the window. Below, the sea crashed against sharp rocks and she could see across the vast expanse of the ocean that seemed to stretch on for eternity. She assumed that somehow she must be in Triton Castle since it was on the only place in the city that was right on the ocean.
She turned around to look at the room, noticing her clothes had been washing and neatly folded up on a chair and she got dressed, wanting to go do some exploring. She opened the door slowly but there was no one else in the hallway and she went out, making sure to walk quietly.
After walking for a while, she found herself in a shrine to the Neptune, the god of the seas. From early childhood, all Neptunians were told about the sea lord and his consort who ruled the seas and blessed their lives. She went up and knelt in front of the huge statue of Neptune wielding his trident, silently praying to him. She didn't know how a god who was supposed to protect them could let a plague happen or let so many die.
"Faith is hard to keep in dark times," a man said quietly from behind Ariana, startling her. She turned around to see an older priest in green robes standing behind her .
"I've always believed in the sea god and how he would always help us but he let my family die!" she said, tears of anger, hurt, and rage slipping out of her eyes.
"Ah, seems unfair, does it? Well, what happens, happens for a reason," the priest said calmly.
"What oh-so-important reason could that be for letting my family to die?" Ariana snapped, more at the statue of Neptune then at the priest.
"That is a good question, one that many ask," the priest shrugged. "The lord of the sea works in strange ways that are not always understandable," he explained.
"I don't care. Despite everything, it seems as if I'm being punished even though I tried to do everything right. And I don't even know why my family is gone," she said, not noticing the short green wand that appeared the base of Neptune's statue. She turned around, then her eyes widened in shock when she noticed that he was gone. She looked around, certain that he could not have just vanished liked that.
As she got up, she noticed the green wand. She didn't know what it was but something told her to pick it up. In that instant, her life changed.
The next few years of her life were difficult but Ariana had no regrets. Being Sailor Triton gave her meaning to her life which previously had been empty. While training on Pluto, she was able to visit her sister who had just graduated and now was a successful doctor.
When she returned to Neptune, she became close friends with Sailor Neptune, who was also Princess Michiru.
But Ariana understood why the god of the seas had set her on the path that she walked. As Sailor Triton, she helped the senshi of the outer planets defend the solar system from outside invaders.
Years seemed to slip by. Sailor Neptune died when the Moon Kingdom was attacked but later was reborn along with Princess Serenity. For a while, the solar system flourished. A new Silver Millennium now emerged until the Black Moon attacked.
Neo-Queen Serenity was sealed inside a crystal and Princess Lady Serenity had vanished. It was a desperate battle. She fought with the outer senshi but it was no use . While the four inner senshi could guard the palace, Crystal Tokyo fell. But as darkness started to surround her, Ariana saw a silver light shining strong.
