CHAPTER 1 : ALONE
~10 years ago ~
A beautiful angel walked to
little Serenity that was sound asleep. Her wings flapped incautiously making
the little one opened her eyes. "mommy?" the little voice asked. "sshh, come we
have to get out of here," the angel said as she gently carried the precious in
her. "where are we going?" serenity asked confused. Queen Serene didn't answered
and ran barely touched the ground for she flew occasionally to be silent and
not to make a sound. "mommy, im scared," the little one said in fear. To her
surprise, a black figure appeared in front of them, making her stopped
abruptly. "Daddy!!" the naïve child called out and jumped out from her hands. "no!
Serenity!!" Serene gasped. The dark cloud eventually faded and a man in black
cloak appeared. He kneeled down and with open arms, he took Serenity into his. "Why,
Serene, my love, where do you think you are going in such hurry?" sounded
almost sarcasm, he approached the shaking angle that awkwardly backend from
him. "Mommy?" little Serenity asked puzzled at her mother's reaction. "don't touch
me," she rejected his hand. "Serene, I don't want you to do something that you
will regret, might as well play with it, shall we," he said with an evil
smirked on his face. He cradled the little 4 year old Serenity. "Don't you
dare!" she said, understood his every word. "That moon prince, what is his
name?..Ohh Prince Seranium! Is he the one that planned all this?! ..Running
away in the middle of the night?!" his voice raised and it frightened Serenity
so she cried. Lord Damos, slowly placed her down and grabbed Serene's arm back
to her chamber. Serenity stared at her parent puzzled. "why is daddy so mean to
mommy?" she thought.
All her life, Serenity never
once see her mother's smile, never heard her laughter. The queen just frowned
and daydreaming every single second. "mommy, are you alright," she asked sadly.
She gave an effortless smile to her and took Serenity in her arm as she cradled
her only child. Serenity smiled happily and slept in her warmth embrace. She whispered
softly between her tears:
"Here me my child, you are
one day to take revenge of my death and you shall uncover the secret that lies
beneath all of this. My precious, I maybe have to leave you but remember this
little lullaby, I leave because I was force too, never in my life have I dream
of becoming this, understand my gone as you shall see you are the reason I stay
alive all this years. 4 years, I have suffered and it tears me apart to be far
from the one I love. The one we both should have love!." Serenity mumbled in
her sleep. Serene smiled and carried her little bundle to her chamber.
The night came, Serene crept
out of her chamber, and she didn't notice that Serenity was at the hallway,
taking a glass of milk in her hands for a midnight snack. She saw a figure
adjusting her hood and she gasped and tried to hide behind the wall. She was
ever a curious little child and unconsciously followed the figure down and to
the Forbidden Garden. Another male feature appeared and Serenity hid among the
bushed to peek on the both of them. "Intruder!," she thought disgustedly. At
long last, the figure stepped in to the light and the hood was let down
revealed the …Queen. "MOTHER!" she whispered but covered her mouth not wanting
to be caught. "I miss you my love," the male voice was heard. "me too, but we
have to be patience, our daughter is depending on it," Serene tried to reasoned
with him. "I couldn't even touch her nor see her, Serene I miss you and our
child," he said as he hugged the beautiful angel of light. Serenity couldn't hear
what they were talking about but all of a sudden, a dark cloud appeared from nowhere
and all she could see were people fighting.
Serenity was too scared,
confused as she closed the huge door with all her might and sat in her bed
crying her life out!. A knock was heard when a soldier stepped into the room
and held her up. "where are you taking me?" she asked innocently. "you father
wanted you to be in the throne room," the guard said.
Serenity ran to her father
by pass her mother and a male stranger. "Serenity!" she cried calling her. Both
of them were on their knees and their hands were tied behind. The stranger
looked straight in to Serenity's eyes and she felt something, like the feel of
bond between them. She sat on Lord Damus lap. His dark purple eyes stared
coldly at the stranger. "you shall pay for your crime, Seranium!" he started. "you
will know this Damus, I will haunt your life and your soul for as long as you
live!" he yelled but received a punched to his face by a yaoma. His crescent
moon shone brightly, and he stood up to fight but faced more punches from the
yaomas that cornered them. "stop it! Please! Stop it!!" the Queen shouted at
them. Serenity watched the scene amused but not dare to speak up. "I have
showered you with all the treasures I can buy Serene, I have even showed my
love to you, but what do I get in return?..A spit on my face!!" Damus anger was
at the highest limit as he ordered his final punishment. "you are to stepped
down of you title as a Queen and your life shall be terminated!" he announced. "and
you, Seranium, your death will shatter my kingdom, you have the soul of thousand
years, you shall live and notice one day…" he let Serenity down and ordered the
guard to take her to her chamber. He again vanished and appeared in front of
Seranium, he slowly whispered, " One day, your own precious, flesh and blood
will destroy your moon kingdom. I will tell her that her mother have love a man
by the name of Prince Seranium and leave everything for this man including
her.! Seranium scowled and moved front
to give a piece of his mind to Damus but was held back. His laughter echoed
through out the Kingdom.
~ 2 years surpass ~
Serenity was 6 years old by
this time. She played around the garden alone. She flew to an apple tree and ate
the green apples merrily. A book was in her hand as she enjoyed her apple. "Alas
she shouted happily, 'The King And Queen Lived Happily Ever After,". A certain
memory shot in to her mind,'An angel calling out for her'. She shook her head
and continued munching her apple until a guard called out for her. "your
highness, your father summoned for you," he yelled out at the garden. "COMING!!"
she shouted back.
She teleported herself to
his throne room and sat on his lap. "you wanted to see me father?" Damus smiled to her and pointed at the three boys
in front of her. They will be your guardians from now on, Serenity. Serenity
gave a frown; " I know how to take care myself!" she humped. Damus laughed at
her words, "I know my child, but there are many people our enemies wanted to
kill us all, this boys will protect you," he said lovingly. Serenity gave up
and just nodded at his father's wish. Negaverse's generals introduce yourself!"
"Nephrite
at your service," a boy with a shoulder length hair introduced himself. "Kunzite,
your highness," he announced, his silvery colored hair flown gently to his
shoulder side. "Zoisite," he bowed slightly, his copper hair was tied behind
giving him a feminine look.
