Chapter 1 - After the storm
She was the most beautiful being I've ever seen. Her deep blue eyes pierce into my soul, that knowing look and loving smile. Her voice that calms and her laugh...oh, her laugh. She was my lover, my best friend, my princess. Eventhough our love can never be, I will silently wait in the dark for her to return to me.
Silver Millennium - Royalty of both the inner and outer region plus those beyond gather in the Moon Kingdom for a joyous and momentous occassion. The princes were handsome and the princesses were beautiful in their evening gowns. As guests arrives at the palace, a shadow on the balcony stood guard and watched.
"Hm...still serious even when celebrating? You need to know how to relax Uranus." A beautiful girl suggested.
Surprised, the crowned princess of Uranus turns and sees Neptune, the crowned princess of the 7th planet.
There they are, the two powerful senshi of the outer realm. They are half of the team that protects the inner realm from enemies that comes from beyond their galaxy. Uranus, a tall, slender, short haired girl who is often mistaken for a boy possess the power of the wind and ground. Her weapon is a sword talisman. Neptune, a beautiful, smart, green-haired girl posses the power of the sea. Her weapon is a mirror talisman.
Uranus smirked, "I'm just watching."
Neptune walks towards her. "What's on your mind? Tell me." she asked.
"I feel the wind's roar. A great evil is coming and I don't know when." Uranus replied.
"Hm, I feel it too. The sea is changing. What could it be?" Neptune asked.
"I don't know. That is why I'm here...watching." Uranus replied.
"Are you sure that you're watching the guests and not..." Neptune motion towards the opposite balcony. There she was. Princess Serenity, the crowned princess of the Silver Millennium. Her beauty is legendary as it seems to illuminate when she enters a room. Uranus looks at the princess and a loving smile hinted on her face.
"Uranus, you know that your love cannot be. She's the crowned princess of Silver Millennium." Neptune remined her partner.
"I know...I tired to stay away, I tried to forget but..." Uranus shook her head. Neptune places her hand on Uranus' shoulder.
"I know how you feel. I know how it is to love someone only to lose them to someone else." Neptune said with a sad look in her beautiful gren eyes. Uranus looks at her.
"How could you live with that? How could you pass the days without thinking about the one you love?" she asked.
"You misunderstood. I never pass the days without thinking about the one I love. I live for the fact that the one I love is happy and content. I wait and hope that someday, my love will notice me and love me in return." Neptune replied with a glimpse of hope and dream in her eyes. She turns to Uranus, smiled and leaves. Uranus sighed.
She knows that her love for Serenity is forbidden, that it cannot be. But she can't help it. She loves her so much that she's ready to sacrifice her own life for the princess's.
The events after the celebration were not stuff that dreams are made of. Queen Beryl, due to her deep hate and jealousy over the silver millennum attacked the Moon kingdom. Both the inner and outer senshi, together with Prince Endymion fought Beryl's army to no avail. Uranus saw everything, how the prince saved Serenity from Beryl's attack and how Serenity committed suicide after Endymion died in order for them to be together. Uranus ran to the princess's side and places her head on her lap.
"Even to the end, you're still the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." tears filled Uranus' eyes. "I love you." she whispered and leaves.
At the battlefield, Uranus and Neptune fought side by side with the other senshi. When hope of becoming victorious began to fade and fighters around them drop. Uranus looked for Neptune only to be hit by a blast. She falls to the ground, everything began to fade but a familiar voice made her hold on longer. It was Neptune.
"Don't leave me." Neptune whispered as tears fell from her eyes. Uranus realized that she was the one Neptune referred to as her love.
"Neptune..." she struggled with her last breath. "Look for me in the next life. I'll be the one running away." She smiled her last smile and died knowing that whatever happens, somebody loved her.
Neptune places her hand Uranus's face and gave her a kiss. "I will be searching for you, my love." She lays Uranus near the palace steps but as she was about to go back, she was struck by an enemy and died holding Uranus in her arms.
