I know I don't own Sailor Moon, so please don't sue me! Thought this story is mine along with my made-up characters.

Chapter 1: How It All Started

High Priestess Serenity gazed at the setting sun from her balcony. For many years, the people of the kingdom of Silver Millennium have been at peace, the place considered the most peaceful kingdom in the world. And here, at the Crystal Palace, she was King Andrew's most valuable priestess. Her sight into the future and her extraordinary powers earned her the title of High Priestess by the King. Rei, her servant and friend, told her that King Andrew wanted her to become his Queen. Serenity was beautiful, like the goddess of the Moon, Artemis. Her silvery blond hair was tied in two buns, soft strands falling down to her feet; her light blue eyes resembled the very sky itself.

Serenity dismissed Rei's theory, but Rei asked. "Then why the King forbids any man to get near you, High Priestess?"

Rei had a point there. The King forbade any man to get near her or else he would be punished severely. That was why Serenity had go out at night after the King was asleep for one especial reason………….

"High Priestess, it is time." Rei handed her a white cloak. Serenity nodded and Rei helped her change into a simple pearl-white dress. She then fasted the cloak by Serenity's winged moon pin.

"Thank you, Rei." Serenity nodded. "Follow me now."

Serenity and Rei quietly hustled out the Palace doors out to the rose garden outside. In the middle of the red roses, a man waited for them. He turned around and saw them. His ebony hair shone in the moonlight as his midnight blue eyes connected with Serenity's. Serenity smiled as she ran to the man, he was there, her beloved Endymion. He smiled back as he caught her, wrapping his arms around her in a strong hold. Rei smiled at she watched them.

Serenity inhaled the scent of him, the scent of roses. She remembered when they first met. She and Rei were out on the town, shopping for some fruits. Everyone smiled at them and bowed. "Good afternoon, High Priestess." A woman said. Serenity smiled at them all and bowed her head. "Good afternoon."

"High Priestess, watch out!" Rei tired to warn her, but too late, Serenity gasped as she bumped into something hard. She lost her balance and could've fallen if it wasn't for the hands grabbing her wrists. "I am sorry, I…….." she looked up, starting to apologize, but her words got caught in her throat as she looked at the man she bumped into. A pair of deep blue eyes held hers. His face was handsome, his black hair falling down his eyes as he looked down at her. He was poorly dressed, a peasant, but he was well-built, clearly he had some manly work for years.

"Are you alright?" his voice was silky and it soothed her ears. Serenity nodded, a tint of pink colored her cheeks. "Y-Yes! Thank you."

The man chuckled; his quiet laughter was music to her ears. "That's good." He bowed to her. "I am Endymion; I'm new to this kingdom. May I ask for your name, fair damsel?"

Serenity bowed also. "I am High Priestess Serenity." She said. Endymion was stunned by her appearance. She had milky complexion, her body was small. Her bosom was round and full, he could tell by her white gown. A pretty tiara made of silver and jewels decorated her flaxen hair in buns. Her light blue eyes emitted shyness as she stared at him.

Rei was tugging at Serenity's hand, taking her away from her trance. "Your Eminence, we have to leave or the King will worry!"

Serenity looked at her and nodded. "I'm sorry, I have to leave." She said to Endymion. She turned to leave when his hand grabbed hers, making her look at him again. Of course, his action angered Rei. "How dare you do that to the High Priestess!?" she demanded. Serenity spoke calmly. "It's alright, Rei."

"May I see you again?" he asked. Serenity nodded. "Yes, but only at night at the rose garden outside the palace."

And after that, they've been seeing each other secretly, love at first sight. Endymion gently lifted her head up and kissed her lips softly. A sudden loud sound made the kiss break. Gasping, Serenity looked to her side and her eyes widened in fear as she saw King Andrew and his guards. Rei gasped as she was seized by two guards. "What are you doing to my Priestess, peasant!?" the King spat at Endymion. The guards all aimed their arrows at him. Two other guards came forward to take Serenity. She broke free and shielded him with her body.

"NO!" she cried. The King gasped and said to the guards. "Lower your arrows." He ordered. The men lowered their bows and the King spoke to her. "Serenity, move aside."

He said, but Serenity held her ground. "You will not be harming him!" she cried.

"I thought I forbade any man to get near you, Serenity." The King said. "Yes, but I've been going to see him in secret!" she said, startling King Andrew. Serenity took Endymion's hand and said clearly. "I love this man, my Lord."

"Enough!" the King barked. The two guards seized her again, yanking her from her lover's grasp. "Endymion!" she cried, trying to get free. Endymion bared his teeth and lunged at the men. "Now!" the King ordered. The others fired their arrows and all hit him. Tears spilled from her fear-stricken eyes as she tried to get free. "Endymion!!" she cried as she finally got free. She ran over to him, picking him up into her lap, his blood staining her white cloak. He gasped as blood came out of his wounds. Serenity sobbed as she held him. "Oh, Endymion!" she cried softly. He reached up and touched her tear-stained face. "I love you, Serenity………." He whispered as he gave his last breath.

"No………" she said as his hand dropped to his side. "ENDYMION!" she screamed as she hugged his body. Rei had tears of her own as she saw her mistress cry while hugging Endymion's dead body. Serenity released her dead beloved and rested his head on her lap. She looked up at King Andrew, fire burning in her eyes.

"Andrew!!" she cried in rage as more tears slid down her face. "You'll PAY for this!"

"I love you, Serenity, that's why I did it." The King said, hoping to calm her down. His words only made her even angrier. "You didn't have to kill the one I loved to have me!! Don't you understand!? I don't love you back, I never did!!" she screamed at him. Andrew's heart ached as he heard her harsh words. Serenity softened for a bit as she looked at Rei.

"Rei…………you shall live on, never aging…………." She said.

"Huh?" Rei said. Serenity glared at the King and his men as she spoke again. "This kingdom will NEVER see the light again! This peaceful country will be devoured by the darkness of the night, the Moon as the only light you'll ever have. When the New Moon comes, the kingdom will be like a dark pit of Hell! When the Full Moon comes, that will be the only soft light you'll see. The Sun will no longer show its face here, no day, only night. This is my curse to you, until my reincarnation and Endymion's find each other again. My reincarnation will have the power to lift the curse."

Rei gasped as flames began to surround Serenity and Endymion. "Serenity, don't!" she cried. Serenity shook her head as the flames began to swallow her and Endymion.

"Rei………you will be the Queen of this kingdom, you will guide her when my reincarnation returns to this place………I wish you luck………." Serenity spoke as the flames completely covered them.

"NO!" Rei cried, her tears still raining down her cheeks. Inside the flames, Serenity hugged Endymion. Endymion..........I will see you again...........please wait for me.........., she spoke with her mind before she disappeared in the flames.

----------------Hundreds of years later--------------

Serena Tsukino woke up with a start. "Whoa, was that dream about?" she wondered out loud as she looked out the window in the train. What a weird dream! I saw this girl who looked just like me burning up in flames with a dead man in her arms, whispering to him as the flames reduced her to nothing!, she thought. She was on her way to the Silver Millennium Kingdom; a place she read about in a history book.

She saw the way the sky was getting darker and darker as she neared her destination.

"Way cool! The book was right!" she cried in delight as she toyed with her hair tied up in two buns. She read in the book that the Silver Millennium Kingdom was always at night, that it was cursed to never have daylight again.

Good thing I chose to come here for my vacation!, she smiled. "Serena, where do you want to go for your vacation by yourself? Her mother asked her one day. "Hmmm, I wanna go to this amazing place I read about in a book called Silver Millennium!" Serena said.

"For how long?" her father asked. "For a month, maybe two. I saved enough money!" Serena smiled. Her mother laughed. "All right, you can go, but come back safely."

Serena squealed in delight as she hugged her mom. "Thanks, Mom, I will!" she cried.

The train suddenly, stopped, startling Serena. We've arrived at Midnight Station, a man said though the intercom. Serena smiled as she got up and gathered her things. "This is my stop!" she said as she walked out of the car.

Serena sighed as she saw many people at the station. "Where is she?" she muttered as she searched the crowd. "Serena, over here!" a woman with short black hair and green eyes wave to her from a corner. Serena smiled as she pulled her luggage with her towards the woman. "Hi, Mitsuko!" she greeted.

Mitsuko smiled at her as she helped Serena with her things. "I'm glad you came, Serena!" she laughed. "Me too!" Serena laughed along with her.

"Shall we, then?" Mitsuko smiled as she guided Serena out of the busy station towards her car. "Wow, cool car!" Serena said as they both put her luggage in the trunk. She looked up at the sky and saw it was pretty dark.

We must be pretty close, Serena thought as they got in the car and drove towards Silver Millennium.

------------Silver Millennium Kingdom--------------

"Wow, look at the full Moon!" Serena said in awe as she saw the full Moon high in the night sky. "Yeah, we're luck to come back in such a night. If it was new Moon, it would've been hard." Mitsuko said as they drove in the kingdom gates. "We'll be stayin' at my house by the way." Mitsuko added, smiling at her.

"This is your house!?" Serena asked as they parked in front of a big house. Mitsuko nodded. "My parents died when we were young, so my brother and I live by ourselves." She explained. Serena's light blue eyes widened at hearing her. "You have a brother?" she asked. Mitsuko nodded. "Yeah, an older brother, just by a few years though."

"You're 17 too, right?" Serena asked. "Yeah." Mitsuko said. Serena sighed in relief.

"Great, we're equal age then." She smiled.

"I'll go put your stuff in your room, you just go to the square and look around." Mitsuko said as she took out Serena's luggage. "Thanks!" Serena waved as she took off.

Serena hummed as she looked around the square. Many types of shops were lighted by candles, it looked pretty. Many people were looking at the different goodies on sale.

Serena laughed as she walked backwards. Then, she bumped into someone. She almost fell, except two strong arms caught her beneath her arms to keep her from falling on her butt. She stood up and the arms released her. She smoothed her skirt and turned around to apologize when she stopped at looking at the cutie she almost knocked over. He was tall and REALLY cute, with fine build. His hair was the color of ebony with starling dark blue eyes. "You OK?" he asked. Serena snapped out of her trance and nodded. "Sorry bout that." She apologized. The guy waved his hand, dismissing her apology. "Nah, don't worry about it."

Serena only nodded, blushing. The guy looked down at her, his eyes never leaving hers.

"I-I'm Serena Tsukino." She said. "Darien. Darien Shields." He said. Darien felt attracted to this girl. Her long hair was platinum blonde tied up in two buns, her long tresses touching the back of her knees. Her light blue eyes stared deeply into his own. Her body was slender and full, especially her chest. He wanted to slap himself for thinking perverted stuff about a girl he just met, but a familiar feeling stopped him.

Where could've I seen her? She looks so familiar............, he thought. Serena felt a stranger emotion as she started deep into his striking eyes. His face is so familiar to me.

But I don't know why............, she thought. "Whoa, look at that!" a man's voice startled them both. She looked around and saw a couple of men staring at her.

They began to advance towards them. Serena walked back, frightened. Darien could feel Serena's fear and felt protective all of a sudden. They charged at them and one pulled Serena towards him while the other pushed Darien.

"Lemme go!!" Serena shrieked, trying to twist free, but his hold on her waist was too strong. "Serena!" Darien cried as the other man aimed two guns at him. Many other people froze as the man pointed his guns at them. "Don't move!" he growled.

From the Crystal Palace, a woman watched Serena and Darien. Her raven hair gently swayed with the wind as her amethyst eyes were fixed on them.

Serena cried out as the man held her tighter. Suddenly, a strong feeling was building up inside her. Heat was coming from her palms and without warning, her hands glowed red and the man holding her screamed as the heat from her palms was burning him.

"AHHH, you bitch!" he released her, grabbing his burned arm. Everyone gasped as the man's arm was burned skin with the shape of her handprints.

Serena looked surprised but regained composure as the other man looked ready to kill Darien. "Leave him alone!" she screamed as she opened her palm towards the man. Her hand glowed white and a strong gust blew from her open hand. The man was blown away into a wall and was knocked out unconscious. The angry man looked at her, frightened and ran away. The crowd too surprised to clap. Serena gasped as she looked at her palm.

"How'd did I do that!?" she cried. Darien was a shocked as Serena as he stood up. He felt something strange emitting from her. Something amazingly powerful.

Then, out the Palace doors, a bunch of guards came out with spears at ready. Darien ran over to Serena and shielded her with his huge body. A woman dressed a fine red dress and jewels came out of the doors with a young man beside her.

"Everyone kneel to the Queen!" the guy said and everyone there kneeled and bowed their heads as the woman came towards Serena and Darien. Serena looked at her frightened.

The woman smiled at them. "Do not worry, I will not harm you." she said. Darien abandoned his stance and bowed his head. "Your Highness." He said. The woman bowed her head back and turned to Serena. "What is your name, young lady?" she asked her.

Serena replied nervously. "Serena Tsukino, Your Majesty."

The Queen nodded and said. "Please, follow me to into the Palace; I have something important to discuss with you two."

Without any words, Serena and Darien followed her inside.

------------Crystal Palace-----------

"Please, sit." The Queen pointed to two chairs set before her throne. Serena and Darien sat, nervous at what the Queen had to say. "Now, I saw the way you used that power, Serena." She said. Serena flinched and opened her mouth to explain. "You Highness, I.........." the Queen cut her off. "Call me Rei, Serenity." She smiled.

"Serenity?" both Darien and Serena asked. Rei nodded and motioned a servant to pull at a golden rope that was near them. The servant nodded and pulled it. From above the throne, a white cloth fell off, exposing a painting that made Serena gasp loudly. The woman in the painting looked exactly like her. Her silver blond hair was tied up in the same buns, except her tresses were longer than Serena's. Her light blue eyes expressed kindness. She was dressed in a gorgeous white gown with a silver tiara full of precious stones. Beneath the painting, a golden plate read in big letters: High Priestess Serenity.

Rei sat up from her throne and went over to Serena. She took her wrist, much to Serena's shock and turned it around gently. Serena gulped as Rei saw her birthmark. Since Serena was born, she bore a mark that looked like a winged moon on her wrist. Only her parents knew about the birthmark.

"Serenity's symbol." Rei said as she let go. "What's this all supposed to mean!?" Darien asked. Rei looked at him then back at Serena.

"This girl Serena is the reincarnation of the High Priestess Serenity." She said.

"WHAT!?" Serena cried. "I-I'm not a High Priestess named Serenity!" she protested. Rei shook her head and said. "You two will have to spend the night here. My servants will guide you to your room, Darien." She turned to Serena. "Please come with me." she took

Serena's hand and led her away. Darien wasn't so sure to trust the Queen with Serena, but he felt like he could.

"Where are we?" Serena asked as the Queen closed the door behind her. They were in a large room with a big portrait of the High Priestess Serenity in the middle of the room.

"This was the High Priestess's room. I used to be her servant." Rei said. Serena looked at her. "Then how come you're a Queen now!? And wait! Didn't the High Priestess die hundreds of years ago?" she asked.

Rei pointed to the large bed. "Please sit and I'll explain." Serena complied and sat down. Rei sat across from her on a chair and folded her hands on her lap.

"As I said, I served the High Priestess Serenity when she was alive. Our King back then, King Andrew was in love with her because of her beauty. In result, he didn't let ANY man get close to her. But, one fateful day, she met a poor, yet handsome man named Endymion. They fell in love and secretly saw each other at night. But one night, they were caught and the King's men killed Endymion. Serenity wept greatly for the death of her beloved. Angry at King Andrew for such an act, she placed a curse upon the kingdom, that this kingdom will always be in nighttime, daytime gone from our lives. She made flames appear and she and Endymion were being swallowed up in the fire when she said that the only way Silver Millennium could see the light of day again, her reincarnation will have to find her true love and lift the curse with her powers." She said.

Serena nodded, finally understanding. "I saw that."

"What?" Rei asked. "Many times throughout my life, I had dreams of that night when Serenity died in flames, embracing Endymion. And many other parts with them both in it." Serena recalled.

Rei smiled. "Those were Serenity's memories you were seeing in your sleep. Now you know, you're Serenity's reincarnation. Serenity reborn, but with a new identity yet with the same heart and body."

Serena nodded. "You also mean the powers I used."

Rei nodded. "High Priestess Serenity possessed the gift of sight and powerful magick. But, there's one more thing I got to tell you." she said. "What's that?" Serena asked.

"Serenity's lover was reborn as well. His purpose is to wait for her and help her lift the curse." Rei said. "Then, who's Endymion's reincarnation?" Serena asked. Rei smiled.

"That's all I can tell you. You got to find Endymion on your own." She said. "One more thing, can I call you Serenity? I miss calling that name and since you're her and she's you, I want to address you by that name."

Serena smiled at Rei. "Sure, I don't mind." Rei smiled ands stood up. "Well, I'm retiring to my chambers. Rest, Serenity, for tomorrow, I shall announce you High Priestess in front of the Kingdom." She closed the door behind her. Serena looked around and saw a simple, white, nightdress. She grabbed it and changed.

Darien was at the hot spring in the Palace, picking his brains, he totally couldn't sleep. I can't believe this! Serena is High Priestess Serenity reborn! I also heard long time ago that her lover, Endymion, would be reborn also to search for Serenity. I wonder who's the one that Serena has to end up with, the thought of her being with another man pissed him off. He snapped out his thoughts at the sound of a soft splash. He quietly swam towards the source of the noise. He peeked though a small rocky hill in the hot spring that made it look natural and his breath got caught in his throat. Serena was in front of him, her hands grasping a sponge and was washing her body. He saw the way her breasts, full and round moved with her actions. Her eyes were closed and her hair was undone from her buns, the long light blonde hair cascading down her back. Her skin glowed white in the full Moon's light, making her look like a goddess, the goddess of the Moon. He felt himself more attracted to her. Her fingers placed the sponge back on the ground and he wondered how it would feel to have those fingers running over his skin. He himself going hard at the thought. She was a beautiful temptress. But why did he felt so familiar at seeing her naked?

His hand brushed against a pebble and made noise. Serena turned around and saw him.

Her eyes went wide and he could see her whole upper body. Her cheeks turned red and she grabbed the sponge. "Um, Serena.........?" he cut off by her scream. "PERVERT!!" she yelled as she flung the sponge at him, hitting him square on the face. He turned around and heard Serena get out of the hot spring. She wrapped a towel around her wet body and was gasping, her cheeks red. He just saw her naked!! Darien just saw her naked!!

"You fuckin' peeping tom!" she roared as she touched the water, her hand glowing light blue. Then, the water became a sheet of ice. Darien tried to get out, but he was trapped in ice, though the water was beneath the ice, thank God the water didn't become a block of ice. Serena stood in front of him, her light blue eyes glaring at him. "That's what you get for being a peeping tom!" she snarled at him, her cheeks still flushed.

"Let me out, Serena!" he cried, already feeling a prune. "Why should I!?" she demanded.

He felt the anger inside her and he knew he was gonna pay for this dearly. "I-I didn't knew it was YOU! I thought it was a burglar or something!" he protested.

Serena looked at him then he felt the water going back to normal. Suddenly, Serena felt VERY lightheaded. "Serena!?" he cried. She swooned and nearly fell into the hot spring if Darien didn't catch her. He laid her on the ground and got out. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it tight around his waist and picked her up. Her body was so warm and soft against his, he blushed. He went to get her clothes and carried her silently to her room.

He gently laid her down on her bed and dressed her, blushing deep red as he glanced at her naked body. He felt desire running in his veins at seeing her fine-curved body. She was perfect.

When he finished dressing her, he pulled the covers up to her chin and brushed a blonde strand off her face. She looked so peaceful when she was not awake. His gaze dropped to her lips. Suddenly, it all became so simple: He needed to kiss her, to taste her. Nothing could stop him, not even the voice in his head telling him she belonged to another man would stop him. His hand gently traced her cheek, then her lips. He leaned down, his hand in her hair, and took her lips with his.
