A The Chrysanthemum Chronicles Series Story
Crystal Chalice Garden In The Crystal Palace
Moon City, Moon Kingdom, Moon
November 23, 986
When they all materialized in that garden on the grounds of the Crystal Palace, it was now, if one
used a 24-hour-long day, about 3:30 in the morning in Moon City. Which was the same, or nearly the
same, time that it'd be back where Rolando had come from on Earth just prior to his showing up in Kyoto,
Japan, sometime before his coming to the Moon with his five current companions. For Moon City was
centered on both the moon's Prime Meridian and its Equator, on the near side of the Moon, with the center
of it being marked by a large pillar roughly, if not exactly, in the middle of the Imperial Palace some distance
away from the Crystal Palace. The Earth was descending in the sky as they materialized in the Crystal
Chalice Garden on the grounds of the Crystal Palace. The Sun was not yet visible, for it was still night in
the Moon City area of the Moon. Of course, if it was night on the Moon City side of the Moon, it then
would logically follow that it was now day on the Rainbow Springs side of the Moon.
When all six Terrans adjusted well enough to being on the Moon instead of Earth, and Skyhorse
knew that they had, she said, "Hello, Queen Serenity. It's good to be back on the Moon. I don't see the
other girls, though, of course."
"No, you don't. They're currently otherwise occupied, Skyhorse. Would you care to introduce
me to these children, if you please, Skyhorse?"
"I suppose I could do that, Queen Serenity," answered Skyhorse, not too much later here.
So Skyhorse did just that, one sibling at a time. And after doing that, she also introduced them one
at a time, to Prince Daniel as well, of course. Queen Serenity then said to each of them, once Skyhorse
had done both those things well enough to suit both herself and Queen Serenity quite well, "Welcome to
the Moon, sibling of Sylvia Wakefield. I hope you enjoy your stay with us here on the Moon. If Sylvia
somehow shows up here, or we somehow hear from her, while you're here, we'll certainly let you know,
if at all possible, of course. In the meantime, though, I'd really like you all to go wherever my husband
Prince Daniel, Prince Darien, and Prince Rolando may lead you all."
Of course, Skyhorse backed her up, when Queen Serenity said that last part to each of her siblings.
So, even though they naturally didn't know what to expect from all three Princes, they did as Queen
Serenity and Skyhorse had asked them to do, of course. Little did they know that they'd most likely have
to stay in the Moon City area most of the time while they were on the Moon. And they didn't yet know
that Sylvia was actually also on the Moon with them, for they didn't know Sylvia was also actually Junior
Sailor Skyhorse. This, of course, was for all the obvious reasons. If things worked out well enough for
them and enough other people both on Earth and on any known world of the Moon Kingdom, that'd
hopefully remain the case for at least a few more years, if not forever, of course. Only time would tell,
though, if such things would work out well enough for all the necessary people from Earth or any of those
known worlds in the Moon Kingdom, of course. Skyhorse would certainly be one of those people who'd
most likely hope that'd be the case for a very long time, if not forever, in her very own mortal life in God's
very own Universe, for the obvious reasons. Especially after her first battle with any number of
Negaversers that'd taken place some time before the present date in her life.
Skyhorse and Serenity then watched her siblings go with all three of the Princes now in question
here, at least until they were all quite sufficiently enough out of sight here. When they were absolutely sure,
then, that they'd not be heard or seen in the Crystal Chalice Garden for at least a little while, Serenity then
sat down on a bench in it, and had Skyhorse do the same. That was after Serenity had summoned a few
of her maidservants to take most, if not all, of the things that Skyhorse had just brought along to the Moon
with her and her fellow Terrans to Sylvia's chambers in the Crystal Palace.
"Skyhorse, how would you like to go to the other side of the Moon for at least a little while?"
"I'd like to rest for at least a little while before I do so, Queen Serenity, if that's all right with you.
I hope that's not a problem for you at all, Queen Serenity."
"Of course, considering that you recently teleported twice between different locations in our solar
system, you probably would want to."
"Yes. I suppose the other Princesses actually are now on the other side of the Moon, led by
Serena, of course."
"Yes, Serena and her crowd are on the other side of the Moon. I can't say where yet, until I
contact them to let them know that you're now here on the Moon."
"Secret location, then, no doubt?"
"Yes. I don't want you to know where it is exactly, until you're about to go there, at the very
earliest, and until you're actually there, at the latest. This, of course, is for all the obvious reasons,
Skyhorse."
"I understand, Queen Serenity. How soon should the Sun rise again here then?"
"If the time was converted to your time back on Earth?" When Skyhorse nodded, Queen Serenity
thought for a moment, then said, "I figure about 8:10 or 9:10 in the morning your time back in Jerusalem,
Israel, I think."
"So it'll probably start showing here at about 6:10 am Rolando's time, and about 3:10 pm Darien's
time. And dawn should last an hour, like it does on Earth, if I'm not mistaken."
"That sounds about right, Skyhorse."
"Then your total daylight period should be anywhere from about ten or so hours long, before the
hour-long sunset begins, if I remember how things work well enough here on the Moon. And an hour later,
after sunset begins, Earth will begin appearing again in your lunar skies. For an hour, it too will then rise,
I believe, until it is all above your horizon. Then, it'll rise in the sky until it reaches the middle of it, after
which it'll then descend to the horizon opposite the one it rose from, of course, taking an hour to set
completely, finishing its setting as the Sun begins to rise directly opposite it, I think."
"Right, Skyhorse. And those of us on this side of the Moon are twelve hours ahead of those on
the other side of the Moon. As your planet rotates east to west on its axis, ours does the same. However,
we reckon that when the Earth is directly overhead and at its highest possible location at any time above
the Imperial Palace, a new day on the calendar has begun for us. Local midnight happens for us at that
same time. We consider the day to be 24 hours long here on the Moon, and because of that fact, we order
our days accordingly here on the Moon. Half our Moon is lit at any time, of course, while the other half
is not. True, it often takes a lot of energy to maintain our sun shields, for the obvious reasons, but we still
maintain them, so that any people that might not live on this side of the Moon do get at least some sunlight
for themselves, of course."
The two of them talked with each other for at least a little while longer, until Skyhorse said, "I'm
rather tired, Queen Serenity. I hope you don't mind me wanting to get some rest now."
"No, I don't. Please be in the Sailor Scout Garden, though, about three or so hours past local
noon, for I'll need you there then. When I'll want you there as soon as possible, I'll ring you, if I need to.
I've had your siblings put in chambers near the Chrysalis Garden. Their chambers aren't very far apart, yet
their doors are at least forty feet away from each other, if not more."
"Thank you, Queen Serenity. Then, if there's nothing else we need to discuss, at least as of the
current time, I'll be leaving you again, until later, Queen Serenity."
"Nothing else, other than to say, 'I'm glad you're back here on the Moon for a while, Skyhorse,
who is also known as Sylvia Lucille Wakefield, of course, and I welcome you to it again, as well,'
Skyhorse. Feel free to return to your chambers at any time."
Then Skyhorse said her farewells to Queen Serenity, at least for the time being, of course. This
she did, just before she returned to her own chambers, as planned. On her way out of the garden, she also
picked a rose from a bush that Queen Serenity periodically let her pick roses from. And then she placed
it in one of the vases that Queen Serenity often kept near that rosebush for her use at such times. She then
stuck that vase under her left arm, as she gathered up the remainder of her things and left the garden behind
for her own chambers.
When she was safely enough behind the door of her chambers, and sure that nobody could either
hear, see, or detect her, as she did so, she finally transformed out of her Sailor Scout state of being, and
back into her normal Earth state of being, even though she was now on the Moon, of course. After she
did that, she then began preparing to get some sleep for a while, if at all possible. She was ready to retire
to her bed in them within about five to ten more minutes, at most, after getting to her chambers and securing
them well enough to be sure that nobody would likely be able to bother her while she was sleeping in them
for at least a while. After that became the case, she retired not long afterward, of course. And she then
slept rather peacefully in her bed for at least the next five to six hours, if not longer than that. She didn't
leave her bed until just about twenty or so minutes before local noon in the Moon City area of the Moon,
at the very earliest, and no more than an hour after local noon, at the very latest.
I really do hope that you all have enjoyed the first two stories in this particular story series, and the
first twelve chapters of this third story, if you've actually gotten this far. And that you'll all continue to read
its related story series, of course, once I put even more of it up here. The other chapters of this third story
in the series will be up shortly, if at all possible, readers, for your information. I really don't know yet just
how long it'll still take me to get each story in this series up fully here. But it might take a while for each
story in this series, just the same, readers. Until later, then, this is "The Universal Storyteller" signing off
here. Happy reading, and God bless, and all that, of course, readers! Over and out!
