(=============================================================)
Serenity and Lita stood on the teleportation field, waving good-bye to the King and Queen of Earth. Endymion came to Serenity's side and gave her a tender hug.
"I wish you didn't have to leave Serenity," he said sadly. "It was such a wonderful day we had together."
"I know," Serenity said, her tone matching his. "but I acomplished what I came for. And you helped me find strength in myself. I can hardly wait until I see you at the celebration. Its only two days away, but right now it seems infinately longer." Endymion sighed. I know exactly what you mean.
"I'll see you then, Serenity," he said, placing a gentle kiss upon the back of her hand. Serenity smiled.
"Good-bye for now, dear Endy," she said as she took Lita's hand and uttered "Cosmic Moon Teleport." She left behind a very happy prince. When Serenity and Lita arrived at the palace, they were greeted by the entire royal court, the queen included.
"How did it go?" asked Princess Rei nervously, secretly praying Serenity hadn't messed anything up.
"It went wonderfully," the young Moon Princess said. "The King and Queen of Earth will attend the celebration."
"And don't forget Endymion," Lita said with a wink as she nudged Serenity, who blushed a deep crimson.
"You like him!" Mina exclaimed. "And he likes you too! I know it, I am the Princess of Love after all." Everyone let out a small sigh at Mina's antics. The queen stepped forward and smiled.
"I knew that you could do it," Queen Selenity said kindly. "Serenity, come with me." The two walked queitly outside and into the garden. The queen kept walking and led her daughter into the Silver Forest. Serenity looked puzzled, but kept right behind her mother. Their walk ended when they reached a small clearing with a single stone bench sitting in the center. Selenity ushered her daughter over to it and they seated themselves.
"So tell me Serenity, what do you think about the young Earth prince?" the queen asked. Serenity blushed and smiled.
"He's a perfect gentleman," she said, her voice lined with affection. "And I think he's simply the most gorgous man I have ever laid my eyes upon." Her mother smiled and took her hand.
"I recieved word from Queen Helena that the two of you were wondering about the prophecy today. I think now would be the right time to tell you," the queen said dryly. "Prince Endymion was born first, a year before you. After you were born, the High Priestess of Mars came to Helena and I and shared with us a vision she had. I will share it with you the same way she shared it with me. Give me your hand." Serenity placed her hand inside her mother's. A warm glow began to shine and then Serenity was cast into a series of visions, the voice of the prophet narrating them.
THE VISION
The infant heirs to the Earth and Moon were shone in their respective cradles. Then an image of their current selves apeared, and the voice began: Born to their own seperate kingdoms, destined to be the greatest force the Silver Galaxy has ever seen. They will rule together with a love so strong that nothing can break it. A great darkness will come and everything will rest upon their shoulders; if they do not overcome the darkness, all will fall.
END OF VISION
Serenity gasped and looked at her mother strangely. Her breathing was shallow and rapid and she felt slightly dizzy. Her mother placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder and gave a simpathetic smile.
"Helena is sharing this with Endymion tonight also," she said, her voice soft.
"So what I felt when I saw Endymion was love?" Serenity asked.
"No, what you felt was the spark that would ignite this love," the queen said wisely. "We were told to share this with you on the day you met. The High Priestess of Mars told us it was imperitve that you know of what's to come. She thought it would help prepare you." Serenity nodded, her head full to the brim with all of the events of the day. Serenity stood up and cleared her throat.
"Excuse me for a moment, I wish to seek some guidance from my Moon Liyght," she said as she entered the trees. Serenity sat down on the ground and called out to her guardian with her heart. In a flash of brilliant silver light, she was there.
"Hello Serenity," the creatre said lovingly.
"Hello..." Serenity began, "I forgot I don't know your name. Can you tell me?" The creature laughed and smiled widely.
"My name's Luna," it said. "I was wondering when you'd ask." Serenity blushed.
"I wanted to talk to you about the prophecy. You know it right?" she asked.
"Of course I know it," Luna said. "And I know that you're afraid you won't be able to stop this darkness. Am I right?" Serenity nodded. "Well, don't worry yourself silly about it! You won't face it alone, you'll have your true love beside you. When the time comes to fight, you will know what to do."
"But how can you be so sure?" Serenity asked, her eyes filled with fear.
"I just do," Luna said. "I know you, I know what you're capable of, I know the power inside of you that even you aren't aware of. Its part of being what I am. We Moon Liyghts just know." And in another flash of silver light, Luna was gone. Serenity's heart once more filled with hope, she stood and returned to where her mother sat, patiently waiting for her. The queen rose and the two made their way silently to the palace. As they entered, Lita aproached them.
"Serenity, may I have a word with you?" she asked nervously. Queen Selenity nodded her head and left them alone.
"What is it Lita?" she asked, noticing the nervous yet excited look on her face.
"I have some wonderful news!" Lita cried. "The friend I visited earlier was my very close friend Ken. He's good friends with Prince Endymion, and he told me that he was going to talk the prince into coming early! They'll be here tomorrow!" Serenity's stomach did a flip and she grinned giddily. "But that's not all. Ken proposed. Serenity, I'm getting married!"
