She rose from the bed, pushing back the luxurious silken covers, and her bare feet took her to the window, her long blonde hair almost brushing against the floor. Her blue eyes took in the twinkling lights of the Silver Millennium, the magnificent kingdom she would one day inherit, before drifting upwards, coming to rest on the distant Earth. It shone in the vastness of space like a sapphire. An enormous green island stretched across its surface.
The princess' name was Serenity, a name that perfectly befit her gentle manner and pure heart, but as she gazed up at the forbidden world, that heart was filled with despair. Somewhere on that great, wide land was the man she loved. She yearned to see him, to hold him, to kiss him, if only for a moment. Their meetings had become more and more infrequent in recent times, and now, with whisperings of darkness clouding the planet, it seemed as though she might never see him again.
"Endymion…" she whispered, the utterance of his name sending a shiver down her spine. She had loved him since the moment she had first glimpsed him, and rather than ebb away, her love for him had only increased, each and every single day, and she knew that as time passed, she would only continue to love him more.
"I want to see you…" she murmured as tears began to tumble from her shining eyes.
The Earth, staring back at her, gave no response.
Misery swallowed her whole, then, and she began to weep. Endymion. The man she truly loved, the man she would have done anything for, and the man she could never be with.
As she crouched before the window, her shoulders shaking, her entire body quaking with sobs, the night, like so many others, seemed to last a lifetime. It seemed as though morning would never come.
Princess Serenity, anguished as she was in the absence of her beloved Endymion, didn't really care.
