When Destiny Calls
Chapter 1: The Past It was long ago, millenniums ago. A fair princess and a handsome prince fell into a seemingly doomed love. The moon was a symbol of beauty, hope, and longevity. Though night always showed, the moon always shined a beautiful glow. A glow for the people, a glow for the planet it revolved around. It also held the fairest of the fair; the most powerful of those with power. the great Queen Serenity and her equal bloodline daughter of the same name.
The moon always shone full on the earth in that time. It also had enraptured the earthen prince Endymion. However, it was almost forbidden for a love to exist between the people. The planets were at peace and met regularly to maintain the universal peace. But Lunarians did not mix with Earthens or with any of the other planets for that matter. The Lunarians were unlike all in the universe. They were immortal. They were powerful, and they could take to the air. The only way to become one with them is to mix bloods and give up one life to another in an eternal link, and to become an impure form of perfection.
But love will always find a way, and when a love is made for the first time it sets the course of destiny for all time. It was time for another peace meeting of the planets on the Lunarian moon, the first for the prince, and the prince was to have his first encounter with a soon to be made destined lover.
"Endymion your mother has sent for you." The maid quietly informed the prince. He nodded in understanding, and she turned and went about her way. He was a handsome young man that was bright, intelligent, and physically capable. He was every woman's dream, and an eligible bachelor until his 21st year when he would have to chose a bride. His dashing smile and unsurpassable charm left every woman wanting him.
He was excited for lack of a better word. He was now able to go to the place that held his interest since he was a young child. 'The moon', he thought, 'a wonder that I have always been enthralled with.' He hated to have to wait until his 20th year to be able to visit. His parents had confirmed an OK to allow an extended visit to the moon so he could know the whole process of delegation before he transcended to the throne. He was ready. He turned from his chambers to meet with his mother and father to begin the trip to the moon.
"Serene, it is time for you to start becoming more involved in the meetings of the planets." Serenity said to her blossoming 100-year-old daughter. "You have been trained to take my place when I chose to step down and let you rule."
"I know mother. It's so much you have to handle, and I would be happy to take it off your hand when the time comes." 'At least it's not another attempt to find a suitor to create an heir for me' she thought. Her family is very interesting to say the least. Only on the moon do you know EVERYONE in your family personally. That includes your mom, your mom's mom, your mom's mom's mom, and her mom too.
However confusing it may seem, they lived forever until their choice of death. At that particular time, the family would descend upon the life that was to end, and partake of there blood giving them longer life. To others it was a gruesome life, but to the Lunarians it was a way of life. When the sharing of blood took place, it was not only giving longer life, but it is a sharing of experiences of one's life and the creation of a link that joins their souls forever. Including their minds.
Rumors revolved around the culture of the moon, and even as there was peace, it was an equal fear of them only by the Earth. All the other planets respected the life of a Lunarian, and even sent the respective princesses to become immortals and to be the protectors of the Princess Serenity. In a divine ceremony, she partook of each of the planets princess and they partook of her, in a vow of eternal respect, love, and devotion to each other. The only planet not to attend or give a daughter was the earth.
It was almost time for the meetings to begin. They always started with the planetary rulers arriving on the moon and being shown their rooms in the Grand Lunar Palace of the moon. After then, an evening of dancing and food ensued to make the meetings of the next day easier to attend.
The Earth prince, looked around for the first time on the moon. 'Magnificent', was his first thought. It was constantly dark skies, but the glow the planet emitted left a gorgeous radiance to the surroundings. His family and royal guards followed the lunar escort to the palace and to their rooms. It was none less then he expected. The rooms were spaciously grand, and provided the entire comforts of his Earth home. He prepared himself in fine attire to go to the opening ball.
Serenity stood in front of her mirror. Many a times had she been to the opening balls, but this was different. This time she was to be a major part, to begin her ascension to the throne. It was a long process, but every step mattered. She wanted to be the splitting image of her mother, to make her proud, to make the Lunarians proud, to keep the universal peace. She looked at her gorgeous blondish-silver hair. It cascaded down like streaming water falls falling from the buns that formed the style of the imperial moon family. Her fair skin carried not one flaw. She was perfection. She was beautiful. She was ready to use her grace to start her rising.
One by one the planetary families and special guest arrived with introductions done respectively by the royal announcer. The night began cheerfully as the guests arrived. Dancing, eating, and merriment were evident across all faces. Endymion and family stood at the entrance of the staircase and prepared to be announced.
The music lowered a tad as the announcer proclaimed, "King Marius and Queen Gaia, and introducing their son Prince Endymion" Their entourage was greeted by polite applause from the already gathered crowd as they made their way down the staircase and into the heart of the ball. The earth queen waved politely to Queen Serenity as she made her way over to say hello.
"Serenity, your beauty never fails you. How are you?" asked the queen of earth.
"Gaia, you are always so kind. You look beautifully yourself! I have been great. I see you have brought you quite handsome son with you. I imagine he gets his great looks from you Marius." Serenity said.
"Your too kind Serenity. Endymion is one of a kind I must say. I wouldn't doubt he gets his handsome features from me." the king kidded.
Endymion rolled his eyes and poured on the charm with a smile as he faced the queen of the moon. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you and to be able to become a part of the Planetary Alliance." He said as he took the queen's hand and planted a kiss on it.
"My, my how charming you are." She smiled at the prince. She felt that he was a kind man with a good heart.
"Where is your daughter?" asked the queen curiously. The princess was usually on the floor with her mother.
"It is time for her to start he transition to replace me." before he could continue the announcer began his final announcement of the night.
"Now presenting the Planetary Princesses. Princess of Mercury, Aria, Princes of Mars, Reia, Princess of Venus, Maria, Princess of Jupiter Lira, Princess of Saturn, Atari, Princess of Uranus, Amana, Princess of Neptune, Matura, Princess of Pluto, Sestina, and introducing the heir to the Lunarian throne and future ruler of the Planetary Alliance, her majesties own blood, Princess Serenity VI!", the announcer concluded in an exasperated voice. At his announcement the grandest of the applause of all night came. The princesses all began to come down the staircase to join the crowd. Serenity was the flawless beautiful example of her mother as she held the eyes of the crowd. But unknown to her and the others, she held the eyes of a certain prince more than anything else.
Endymion stood taken aback by the beauty of Queen Serenity's daughter. He had thought she was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, but her daughter topped the list. She all but glided down the stairs as she came to join her mother and grandmother and great-grandmother and great- great-grandmother on the throne row. She bowed gracefully to all as she arrived. She enraptured Endymion. Everything about her made him want to know all about her.
In an act of boldness, before the princess could have a seat, he reached out for her hand to grab her attention. Serenity turned around shocked as her light sky blue eyes met his deep ocean blue eyes. They stood for a moment, each with a curiosity about the other. "Princess Serenity, could I possibly have this dance?", he asked. To him everything around him had melted, and all that was left was the beauty in front of him accepting his offer to join him on the floor.
The guest on the floor parted as the prince and princess made their way to the floor. They watched only each other as if trying to read what the other was thinking. 'Who is he?' she wondered as he twirled her around and continued a seemingly glide on the floor. 'How beautifully she is' he thought as he continued across the floor. They danced it seemed for eternity. Endymion had a sensation of floating. His senses were soaring. As reality began to take its shape he realized he was floating! He looked again back into Serenity's eyes. She noticed his look of confusion. She looked into his eyes and smiled. 'He's not a Lunarian', she thought, as she gently allowed them back on the floor.
The dance stopped. "Who are you?", she asked the raven-haired man. "I'm Endymion, Prince of Earth" he stated proudly. She backed away slightly.
'An earthen', she thought sadly. Even if she was to fall in love with him it wasn't that acceptable for them to join. "Nice to meet you Endymion. Thank you for the dance. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go and sit with my mother." She bowed politely and excused her self.
The actions of the couple while dancing did not go unnoticed by her mother nor the King and Queen of Earth. Both had an unsettling feeling in their guts. The union of the two was almost not allowed. As Serenity took a seat next to her mother, an invasion of her thoughts began.
'Serene, what was that all about?' her mother asked.
'Mother it was nothing, just a friendly dance, that all.' She silently replied.
'Serene, you know the difficulties that could-'
'I know, and that is why I chose to keep my distance' she completed.
'Just so you know.'
The ball continued into the night with the prince of earth mingling with all the others princesses of the party, but every time he came close to another encounter with the princess of the moon, she seem to avoid him by taking on another partner. He wanted to know her, and he swore on his life that he would before he left for home.
At the end of the ball, everyone retired to their suites to rest for the long delegations ahead of them. But the prince had one thing on his mind and that was Serenity, and likewise the princess had one thing on her mind, Endymion. She was restless, and decided to take a walk in the moon gardens. All the flowers were a beautiful fluorescent white. She gazed there thinking about her duties that awaited her, and trying to put the prince of earth out of her memories.
"The flowers here are beautiful", she heard a deep voice say. She turned around startled. It was he.
"Yes they are, they-", before she could finish, he produced a blood red rose from nowhere and gave it to her.
"These flowers are beautiful but none are as beautiful as you", he spoke softly to her. Pink stained her cheeks at the compliment.
"Tell me, how is the earth?" This was her first encounter on a personal basis with someone from the planet.
"It's nice, you've never been there?"
"No I am actually not to leave until I take over my mother's throne. So how old are you?"
He smiled broadly showing his dashing smile, "Twenty."
She looked at him shocked. "Is that all?!?"
"What do you mean is that all?! What are you, 16?" he asked her almost degradingly.
"Excuse you sir, but I am 100 years ripe" she said as she stood offensively.
"100 years, that is old!" he stated before he realized he should really think before he speaks.
"How dare you!" Serenity turned and began to walk away.
"Wait! I didn't mean it that way. It's just that you don't look what an earthen person like myself would call 100." He tried to amend.
"That's ok I guess. Well anyhow, I do need to rest we have quite a day ahead of us tomorrow, no?", she turned to quickly retreat away.
"Alright," he called after her. "Until the morning." He turned away and began his walk back to his chambers. He left wanting to know her more, and just simply wanting her. He vowed to himself to do so, as he finally settled in bed and drifted to sleep.
"The moon, an ever representation of the night. So how hard is it to believe that those who were sent to the earth after the collapse of the Silver Millennium would become the feared creatures of the night? The story of the immortal princess, Serenity, and her ill-fated love of the mortal prince of Earth, Endymion. a true story carried by time or some made up rubbish of a plagued LSD user? Ok class, I will conclude the story at our next meeting until then, I would like a reaction paper due next time we meet with your opinion on the story thus far. And please be kind with the length, there are 86 of you in attendance here. Dismissed." Professor Michiru Kaiou concluded the day's lecture, with the hope that it would some how reach the one she was looking for.
"That's easy," a skeptical raven-haired man muttered under his breath, "complete rubbish." He packed up his books as he continued to wonder why he chose "Legends and Myths " for a general education course.
A far away figure of time answered his question, "It's only destiny."
