- Chapter 1: The Two Crystals -
Many stars had been born since the Big Bang took place. The Guardian merely watched as they where coming out of the cauldron.
"New races... new life... they shall arise soon and populate this new stars... but I won't be able to meet them till the time of their deaths...", the Guardian said in an expression that was calm, yet resembled sadness, if such a being can feel sadness.
It was the fate of the Guardian. A sad fate, where her only duty was to stand there watching and guarding. It didn't matter how much she wished to interact with this new civilizations, for her duty didn't allow her to leave her post. She could just watch them from the distance.
"I can't meet you in your birth... but we shall meet the day of your destruction, when your planets return to their origin". She just stood there, watching and thinking.
Life was gradually arising across the universe, some developing faster than others. But not all stars were destined to have life, they would just remain alone... alone minus them.
Them. Who where them? They had been the chosen ones. The chosen ones to be the protectors of each star, no matter how big or small it was, they always had at least one of them. They were destined to appear sometime... when? Depends on the star.
The Guardian knew of their existence. For she had witnessed their births along with their stars.
The Guardian called them... "Senshi".
Time continued its flow. Every moment the Guardian stood there, watching the birth of the new stars. Soon it would be the time for the last mandatory event. A pair of failed births.
A failed birth? What was it? Every Big Bang brought them, a pair of stars that failed to be born.
Why were they so important then? They carried a mystic power. The Guardian felt that precise moment two big sources of energy, so powerful that they could frighten the new living beings with ease. But only their power was great, as both would fit easily in the hands of a human, one of the new races in this universe.
That much power could not be hidden from greed's reach, for the Guardian could not interfere with their destiny.
Slowly two lights emerged from the Cauldron. A silver one and a dark one. Each opposite to the other. They repelled themselves, so as soon as the left the depths of the Cauldron, their newborn power reacted as it always did. They were shoot across the universe, at full speed, in opposite directions, heading to random stars.
"It's complete... only stars remain, nothing important" She glanced un the direction of the dark-light stone.
"Those failed stars look like nothing more than mere crystals. For the sake of the new civilizations they should stay just like that... a mere crystal"
And so, the Guardian continued her duty.
For a long time the Guardian watched the crystals path as they traveled through the universe like shooting stars. Then it happened, the Silver Crystal came to a halt. It crashed in the one of the two lonesome satellites of the third planet of a remote galaxy. Its crash-landing made a great crater, then it was buried under the same rocks it lifted upon the crash.
Meanwhile the Dark Crystal continued its path. As time passed its speed continued increasing. The shooting star soon transformed into a comet. Soon it would be its time.
