Sixteen years later.....

"Elysion!" a woman calls, "Come here, I have to tell you something!"

"Ok mom!" Elysion shouts and walks back to the house. Elysion was a charming fifteen year old girl, with long ebony hair that were in small braids, falling down her back with little white shells at the end of them. She was short, roughly about the same height as her mother, five' two or three, with chocolate colored skin and arched eyebrows. Standing side by side, her mother and her would have been mistaken for twins, had it not been for her eyes. She had her father's eyes. Her mother had told her, misty blue-gray eyes.

"What is it mother?" the teenager asked.

"Elysion, I want you to go to Crystal Tokyo and look for a man named Endymion."

The girl blinked, "But, isn't that the name of the King?" She eyed her mother, "And why would I go and look for this man, anyway?"

Her, forever blunt, sat down looked at her daughter with sad eyes, "Because, he is your father."

Elysion sat there stunned. "My-my what?!" She stood staring at her mother in disbelief, "My father is King of the world and you never told me!?"

Kritra nods, "Yep, that's about it in a nutshell." She shook her head, "at least I didn't wait until your sixteenth birthday. Anyway," she waved her hand as if to dismiss it, "He doesn't remember. All he remembers is kissing me, that is all."

Elysion narrows her eyes, "What do you mean, he doesn't remember screwing you?"

"The potion that he took two days later has wiped all his memories of two days of his stay here. I told him that it would, but I never said which days. Anyway," She stood and went into the kitchen, "I want you to go there and take Terran too." She said, referring to the wolf cub that grew up with her, "I don't trust the outside world too much." She grabbed her water bottle and drank from it deeply, "You need to be careful on who you make as friends and enemies."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what just a minute!" Elysion stalked behind her more, angry at the orders she was given, "What do you mean by that? And why am I going there?"

Kritra glanced at her, before settling the bottle down, "Because, you need to learn how to control your magic. You cannot learn everything from me, for I do not know everything." She walked towards her, "Honey, you have your father's magic running through your veins. Even though I helped him to become more powerful, it was only because he understood how to control his powers very well. You, too, can control it, but not to his extent. You shall go to Crystal Palace, and introduce yourself as my daughter, but don't tell them that you are his child as well. It will only complicate things."

"Yeah, right, like they would believe me." She mutters sarcastically. "I'm the king's second daughter, will you please let me see my daddy?" She snorts, "Yeah, that would go over really well."

Kritra glared angrily at her daughter, "Just do it! And if he finds out.......the it'll make it easier to train you, ok?" She sighed, "Just, do this for me, please?"

Elysion watched her mother, noticing the tired lines in her face and the very few gray hairs in her head.

"Did you love him, mom?"

Kritra nods, "Yes, I fell in love with him, but never told him." She smiled, inspite of herself and her situation. "Afterwards, I knew, deep in my heart, I knew he had someone waiting for him. A wife that he must've loved very deeply." She rubs her eyes, "You know the saying, 'If you love something, very much, you have to let it go... It might come back to you.'" She shook her head and looked at her daughter, "I wanted you very much, Elysion, I loved you, but you started asking questions about your father..." She touched her daughter's face,

"You have his eyes, those beautiful eyes of his......." She kissed her forehead, "Go, and get to know him." She stood back and handed her daughter a white rose, "He gave me this before he left. It changes to gold, pink, yellow, blue, and red." She turns, "You shall leave tomorrow morning. Remember to take Terran."

Elysion watched her mother and looks down at the rose in her had. 'Mother had fallen in love with the King and let him leave, without telling him......' She looks up again as her mother reaches into a cabinet, ' that she was pregnant with me. Now I have to go and find him and learn how to use my powers.' "Ok, mom." She turns and leaves, not noticing her mother's shaking shoulder.

"Oh, Ru," She whispered, "Please don't hate me for what I have done." She glances out the window, watching Elysion call for Terran, the wolf. "You should see her. She so beautiful and has your eyes. I hope I'm doing the right thing, for her."

She stares at her mother as they stood on the docks, waiting for the boat to get ready. "This is it." Elysion said, glancing behind her, "I have to......go."

Kritra smiled at her, "Good luck, Ely, and be safe." She hugged her as the whistle blew. "Be careful, ok? Oh and," She dug in her pocket and gave her three envelopes. One was addressed to Elysion, the other two was for the royal couple: Serenity and Endymion.

"What do you want me to do with them?" Elysion asked her.

"Give those two to the Queen and King, if they ever find out who you really are." She smiled a little, "The third is for you. When great danger comes or when you need help, read it. Goodbye, Elysion, and never forget who you are and those who love you." She kissed her daughter's cheek and walked away, without so much as a glance back.

-At Crystal Tokyo-

"Usa!" A woman yells, "It's time for school!"

"Coming!" A sixteen-year-old girl stood in front of her mirror in her high school uniform. She glanced at herself once more, then ran down the many flights of stairs to the bottom.

"Bye mom, dad, guys," She shouts running for the door, grabbing some toast, lunch and her satchel, all at the same time and slipped on her shoes, than out the door.

Neo-Queen Serenity exchanged looks with her friends and husband, who were all staring at her. "What?" She took a bite out of her toast and swallowed, "I can't help it if she took after me, alright? Besides," She shrugged, "I wasn't that bad."

"True, "Rei concede, "You were worse!"

Serenity stuck out her tongue and smiled, "That was so funny Rei, that I forgot to laugh." She rolled her eyes, "Anyway," She looks towards Endymion, who was still smiling, "what are you smiling about?"

He gave her innocent eyes, "What ever do you mean, love?"

"Don't get cute with me, mister." She told him, "You've been into my chocolates again, haven't you?"

"What chocolate?"

She pointed her fork at him as if she would stab him with it, "You know what chocolates I'm talking about, my stash of emergency chocolate! I know you ate them!"

He glanced at his watch, "Well, look at the time!" He gave her a quick peck on the cheek, and stood up quickly, "I have a meeting to go to, bye dear." And quickly exited the room.

"HEY!" She shouts, "Get back here and confess! Candy thief!"

The girls laughed, "Don't worry, Usagi," Minako told her, "You'll get him to confess, sooner or later."

"Yeah, and anyway, you have a meeting to go to too, remember?" Ami reminded her. "The ambassador from America is here, to talk about the trade flow of technology."

"Can't you handle that, Ames?" Serenity asked, "After all, you are our technological expert. You understand that gibberish more so than I."

Ami blinked, "I think I could do that."

"The it's settled." Serenity said and stood, "Besides, I've got something else to do."

"Like what?" Makoto asked.

She smiled, "I'm planning a little surprise for Usa." She winked and left.
