The beginning of the Third Age of Man:

Queen Serenity of the late Moon Kingdom looked at all that she surveyed her ruined kingdom.  As she lay dying, Serenity could only hope that the future would be a bright one…

On the surface of the planet below, King Aragorn of Gandor and his wife Arwen were on a royal hunt.  They were celebrating their first anniversary as husband and wife.  However, they have yet to have a child.  Either the couple has been affected by the machinations of Sauron's madness, or they were destined not to cement their union.  Still, the two heroes of yore are optimistic that they will be granted a child of their own.

"Wait, I hear something," Arwen said, as she halted her steed.

Aragorn frowned. 

"You're right," he replied.  "Come this way."

The two crept into the brush.  There, near a bubbling brook, was a baby.

"Look," Arwen said, as she neared the babe.

"Be careful," Aragorn admonished, ever the warrior and ranger.

"Oh, hush," Arwen said, as she picked up the baby.  "Congratulations, it is a girl."

"We are not keeping her," said Aragorn.

16 years later…

"Stand back!" yelled a guardsman.  Quickly, the court attendants carried the dying Princess Serena to the Healer's chambers.

According to reports, during a horseback ride, a stray orc attacked Serena's party.  Apparently, she was targeted for revenge for what her father Aragorn had done years ago.

Once taken to the chambers, Serena laid very still. 

"Where's my daughter?" Arwen cried, as she rushed into the Healer's chambers

"Your majesty, I'm afraid that the Princess will not make it."

"NO!"

However, an hour later, after Serena's pronounced death, there was a shock.

Serena returned from the dead.

The princess was kept in isolation until Aragorn could make a decision.  Was her daughter a tool to be used against the kingdom?  He had sent word to his long time friend Gandalf the White in the Western lands for counsel.  A few days later, Gandalf arrives, but he is not alone.

"Hello, little one," Gandalf's companion said to Serena.

Serena was in the royal garden when she was being visited.

"Hello, sir," Serena replied.

Her father Aragorn was assured by Gandalf that his daughter was not a demon in disguise.  In fact, she received the gift of immortality upon her death.

"Your majesty," Gandalf began.  "You remember Methos, have you not?"

"Indeed," Aragorn replied.  "So, what can you do to help my daughter?"

"I can teach her to prepare for the day when the last of my kind must do battle in a far away land, as well as how to harness the power of the Quickening."

The Sixth Age of Man, circa 2003:

"So, it has come to this moment…PRINCESS!" The Kurgan sneered, as the man-beast circled his final opponent.

Usagi Tsukino, formerly Serena of Gondor, summoned up her courage.  She and the Kurgan were the last of their kind.  All of her immortal instructors and mentors were dead, but their teachings carried on.  So, she raised her sword, the sword that her mother Arwen had given her.

"You may have taken Connor's quickening, but you shall NEVER earn the Prize!"

With one final roar, the two traded blows.  However, The Kurgan arrogance would prove to be his undoing.  With a feint, Usagi tricked her foe into a bad position…

SLICE!

With a shocking realization, The Kurgan smirked, as his head fell from his body. 

Usagi gathered her wits, as she prepared her self for what was about to happen.

"There can be only ONE!"

BOOM!

All the strength and knowledge of the Immortals flowed into her.  She could remember everything, from the day the first immortal took his first Quickening to now. 

She was everything.  She was all things.

Most importantly, she now had the tools to create a new kingdom on Earth.  Her ancient mothers, Serenity and Arwen, would be proud.

The End?

Author's note: Let me know what you think.  A lot of things have had happened to the Moon princess.  Who should she have met and why?  By the way, she is a Sailor Scout by this time.  Ja!
