Poem Eight: In A Time Long Since Past

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character(s): The Sailor Princesses and Princes of the Solar System and the Silver Millennium
Notes: I throw in Dino and Christina. He is Prince of Charon, and Christina is the oldest Princess of Saturn. I'll explain that.
You see, my character was the first born of the Saturnian royal family. There was only supposed to be one Senshi of Saturn, but then Hotaru was born. Christina inherited the powers of their mother (sorcery) and Hotaru inherited the powers of their father (death and rebirth).
All right, it's kind of weird, but I don't care, ok?

In A Time Long Since Past
Once, there was a kingdom on the moon.
A place of music, and joy, laughter and light,
Ruled over by a queen who was beautiful and fair.
This kingdom was to go on
For all of time it seemed
Generations were yet to come.
Then happiness there was throughout the system
A girl had been born
On the planet of Pluto
The people rejoiced.
Setsuna
She was called
The Guardian of Time.
On Saturn
Soon came the word
A princess had been birthed.
"A spell-caster she will be!" the prophets proclaimed
"Chosen by the gods!"
Christina
She was named.
A sorcerer
Secrets of the magyk she would learn.
"Let it be known throughout the system!"
The heralds soon cried
"A girl has been born to rule the skies!"
Its people were jubilant
Uranus' princess had come.
Haruka
Was the name she was given
A warrior
To protect and defend.
Then came the day
Glad tidings came through
A girl born on Neptune
A ruler to be.
Michiru
She was christened.
A lover of the sea
From the moment she took breath.
"Joyful days have come!"
Came forth the cry of the citizens.
On Jupiter
A baby girl had come into the world.
"A strong one, she is!" declared her father with pride
Makoto
Was her name.
A protector
Brave and true
She would be.
Then finally
A prince was born
On the planet of earth.
Everyone rejoiced
At the news of his birth.
Endymion
He was called.
A peacemaker
But a defender.
"Send word across the system!"
The Vizier proclaimed
"A goddess has been born!"
Venus was ecstatic
Their princess was beautiful!
Minako
She was named
Beautiful and brilliant
She would become.
Then not long after
Glorious news was heard:
"A girl!" the people of the red planet cried
"A princess to rule us!"
Mars was her homeland
Joyful were her people.
Rei was she named
True and loyal
A fighter to be strong.
A princess had been born
On the small planet of Mercury.
Humble but proud her people were and showered her with gifts
Books and toys to make her think.
Ami was her name
A genius she would be.
The queen was now with child.
Then sad news came:
Their gentle and kind king was dead
Killed in battle
In the queen's ninth month.
Sadness reigned for many weeks.
Suddenly
Joy was returned
An heir was born
A princess who would be their queen!
All rejoiced and were glad!
Serenity
She was named.
Set to follow in her mother's steps.
Years later,
When the Princes and Princesses were older
Serenity and Endymion met
She 14; he 16.
And from their first night together
Nine months later
Born from their passion
A son came in secret.
Hours old
He was taken from his mother
Whose memory of him was erased.
Spirited away to Pluto
Brother of Setsuna he was proclaimed
And given thus a noble name
Dinorion.
A prince among men he would be.
And soon unexpected
A girl was born the planet of Saturn
Not wanted
Just unexpected.
For days
After her birth
The planet was worried.
She was born weak and frail
It was worried
Her life would fade.
Suddenly she was proclaimed alive
Not as healthy
But she would live.
Her sister was pleased
And chose her name
Hotaru
Gentle and kind
The unexpected one.
They all were mostly grown
That fateful day.
The princess was about to turn 19
Her consorts were older
Setsuna had just become 23.
The youngest
Were four (Prince Dino)
And three (Princess Hotaru).
They had so much promise
But it was taken away.
So now as I sit and write this down
I can hear the sounds
Of the people outside rejoicing at the birth of their princess
She was born just two hours ago
With that cotton-candy hair we
Knew so well.
What's her name you ask?
Serenity.
Chibi-Usa for short.
