A/N - I haven't written in a long time. Many years actually. I was a Twilight fan fiction writer but I had this story written. Well almost. I am just finishing up the last chapters now. It is written in a Him chapter and then a Her chapter. It is a base for a story I have wanted to write but didn't really elaborate much. I hope to do that in the future. It is all planned out. One day.

Let me know if you like it. I will be posting a lot of chapters today since it is written already.

Chapter 3 – Him

Earth

I left the palace behind as I rode at a full gallop out of the gates. Helios was always happy to gallop where ever we needed to go. I stopped just past the gates and turned back one last time. The large palace that has always been my home was going to change in weeks time. There would be finally a female presence in the home out side of the staff. I did wonder at one time what it would have been like to have a sister but that wish ended when mother died. I knew the opal stone was real. Mother had left it to me and my father had given it to me before she died. Diamond ended up with it and it was what he held everyday.

Helios was side stepping he needed a run. He brought me out of my thoughts as we took off down the path headed for the rendezvous point with my General's. The guard would be with them gathering supplies and food for the travel back. It would take them and I a few days to arrive there by time Kunzite had returned from the moon.

A half days ride with out stopping at a semi gallop and walk to stretch out and rest. This was my planet. Quiet and peaceful till you reached out of middle Earth. Middle earth was the no fighting zone at this time or so it seemed. Nothing had arisen here in middle Earth yet. The outer country had uprisings and begged the General's for assistance in keeping their home safe. It was coming from all over. Evil beings that are not of this Earth. Beings that killed and destroyed all in their path for just one. The Wise One was who the claimed the beings worked for. They were gathering life for the Wise One. His life was more important than that of the humans on Earth.

Earth was still a young planet. It revolves around the sun and the moon. At night the moon rises and in the morning the sun rises. We rely on the sleep at night and the sun to soak in the warmth. The vegetation needs the sun and warmth to grow and with each season they grow stronger and larger. Everything here had a circle of life. The animals, the planets, and the humans. Evil didn't have a place here and that was not part of the circle of life.

The Evil that was the Wise ones doing had prevailed before but this time we were doing all we could to stop it.

I raced through the fields of green going from town to town till I reached the brothel at the edge of middle Earth. The establishment for gentlemen where you go for a night and end up staying for a week or more. Beryl the owner was not to be messed with. A hidden ability to use powders and magic to turn situations to her favor. I had been hiding from my Father and brother and ended up there for a week. Only when I stopped using the water to bathe did I return from the fog and left. It was not an experience I will soon forget. The young ladies were very into what they wanted to do to you. Whether it be multiple partners or just you in a corner. I had had more sex that week than I thought possible but I was younger and didn't know what I was doing.

I rode past the gentleman's establishment but cast a glance at it. I didn't dare stop with the mission I had. I was being drawn to it but I kept riding.

The next town over is where I met Jadeite, Nephrite and Zoesite. I was more than happy to see them. They had been drinking in the town tavern waiting for me. Food on the table and the stories just flowing as I sat and joined them.

"So how long have you 3 been here?"

"A few days Endymion. We behaved. No one was ravaged. Although Beryl's is a few towns over."

"We have orders from my father the King remember?"

"Yes we remember, hence the being well behaved."

"What is good today?"

"The Middle stew." Zoesite said.

The young waitress came and took my order and came back with a plate and some bread. I knew her. I knew she was from Beryl's. I had fucked her not that long ago when I was stuck there for a week. I didn't learn her name but she was the only one that had given me a choice where I could fuck her. I kept my head down and didn't blow her cover as I am sure this was something she did now versus at that time.

We ate and kept telling stories well into the night. After a rest at the tavern we headed out again in the morning. The day brought cloud cover for the first time in a week. Rain was coming. It was due the flowers and green needed the water. We rode again for the day only to be rained out by the evening. We stopped again in a town that had lodging for travelers.

We ate and drank as we usually did when we all got together. The only one missing was Kunzite. I knew he was off world on the Moon picking up the princess. I wondered what she would be like. The thought that she was to be mine floated across my head but the fact that my brother had taken it from me yet again. He had influenced father so much.

By morning it was bright. I was always up before sunrise. The moon light seemed to keep me energized for longer. Little sleep happened for me. My head was filled with memories of the past. Again I was on the moon as a child. Giving the young girl the rose like my mothers.

I sent Nephrite and Zoesite on ahead to rendezvous with Kunzite. He would be arriving shortly at the Planetary Travel Point. The guard was there already waiting for them. Jaedite and I stayed behind and scouted out the roads that we would be taking to keep the princess out of the public eye.

It was a back road. Not well traveled but enough that there was cover from the main roads. I was happy that it was still there. It would be easier to travel.

"Jaedite how is your sister?" I asked breaking the silence as we rode.

"She is well. About to be married actually. I am sure she would be happy if you came. She did love you so."

"I know."

I knew alright. She wanted me to marry her. Sometime ago I was waiting for Jaedite and she happened to be there. She was infatuated with me and wanted to come with us on a training day.

I shook my head at the thought of that day and when she didn't get her way she would send me things. I was polite enough. I was glad she was getting married though.

"What about your kingdom?"

"It is in better shape than Zoesite's right now. The Wise one has made his presence known. He has tried to take over multiple prominent families for the energy source he needs. It is getting worse by the day."

"We need to find the Wise One. Not just the people that work for him. We can remove and purify them but the main source needs to be stopped."

"Yes I agree."

"What about here to stop for the night on the way back? It is large enough for the guard and the princess court."

"I guess so. You won't find much bigger on this road here. Not till you get closer to the coast. And Chloe is on the coast."

"Okay we can stay here for the night and mark it for tomorrow."

"I'll ride up ahead make sure no one else is using the road."

"Thanks."

Jaedite left me to clear a section of the path to mark. Chloe popped into my head again and I smiled. She meant well. I would send well wishes when I returned to the palace. I started a small fire close to the road not near the trees. I got it going enough that Jaedite would find it when he returned this way.

We drank and talked about his sister for most of the night and by morning we had put the fire out and started to ride off. The sun had not quite come up yet and we had a days ride to meet up with the travelling group. A days ride for them is a half or less for two riders.

"Do you know what she is like Endymion?"

"Who?"

"The moon princess we are protecting?"

"I am sure she is like any other royalty that has visited Earth before." I didn't dare get his hopes up in the case she was something we were not expecting. I wondered myself if it was going to be the girl from my dream.
