I hope you all enjoy this chapter, however I would like for you all to read to the entire end because there is something I would like to say as someone who is questioning her part in the fandom. Thanks guys and enjoy.

Today was the day, the day after 13 years, Channary would meet Selene. The Lunar Queen could hardly sleep through the night as she was so excited. Her thoughts were running. Did Selene remember her? Maybe she didn't, it was a possibility. What did Selene like to eat? Did she like chocolate like Channary did? Or was she more into those earthen fruits than she heard so much about? What was her personal style? Since Selene was a mechanic, she wondered how she got into that. Did she like her job or was she forced into it? These nonstop questions were occupying the Lunar Queens thoughts to the point where she was coming up with ridiculous answers to them. However, there was one question that the Queen was thinking about ever since she found out Selene was still alive. Who took Selene in after she was kidnapped? This was the most important to her, because Channary knew that they wouldn't have held her to the standards that she needed to be at. Dr. Darnel and Dr. Tanner didn't keep her, which was a smart move. However they did keep an eye on her, so when she needed to be away from Channary they could easily take her. Who was this Lihn Garan that took Selene in, and how was she treated in the household would be the most important things that Channary wondered. Selene was a future Queen, not a commoner, which by the way the Earthen Emperor talked about. She couldn't wait to see her, and not only that, reintroduce her to her people and the throne she'll be taking at some point in time. That was Channary's entire goal. To have Selene become the best Queen of Luna, better than herself, and better than what Levana could ever be. Channary even thought of listing Winter as her advisory and Queen of Luna if something were to happen to her before she died. Ever since the kidnapping 13 years ago, the Lunar court has tried numerous times to have Channary marry and produce another heir. Channary admits that she was promiscuous and she had no clue who Selene's father was, but that was beside the point. The court didn't want Selene back. They have given up hope for her; she knew most of the Lunar people thought she was dead. But hope was something Channary never gave up on, she knew when those brown eyes of Selene's were crying when she was taken that she'd see them again. And she will, in a couple of hours.

Channary rolled out of bed and hit the shower. She washed her long dark brunette hair and made sure the soap she was using was her favorite's, night time sunshine. The 38 year old Queen needed to look her best, and most importantly, herself. She knew that if she'd glamour Selene early on there might be some big trust issues. Stars know the rumors that most likely already going around on Earth. She needs to make a big first impression. After taking a shower, the Lunar Queen blow dries her hair straight, and parts it in the middle. From what she was reviewing on the net, that is a new style as of late on Earth. She then brushed her teeth and did her makeup in order for the meeting. Channary then had to choose a dress to wear. It was late summer and it was perfect for the fall colors of Luna. A teacup pastel purple dress with some brown wedges was what Channary planned to wear. Not long after Channary was dressed, she left her quarters and walked out into the dining hall, it was there she saw Winter dressed in a light green suit and her hair in Senegalese twists and pretty pink heels, and Levana, dressed in a short sleeved long blue dress with a white veil covering her head. Channary knew why Levana was wearing it. Channary also saw Sybil, the head thaumaturge of Lunar and the rest of the Lunar court wearing her uniform.

"Good morning everyone" Channary sang.

Everyone stood and bowed to the queen. "Good morning" they all replied.

Channary sat down and was handed her breakfast. A veggie omelet with waffles and come cucumbers, Channary's favorite.

"This is a big day for you my Queen" Sybil said. "Are you ready?" she asked.

"Yes, I am. This is the most important day of my life" Channary replied. "I can't wait to meet her after all these years".

"Well I'm hoping you're doing well and she is ready to meet you my queen" Winter replied.

"It would be good for you to see you're good friend again, wouldn't it Winter?" Channary said.

Winter looked up from her plate, she smiled small and nodded.

The Lunar court ate their breakfast and talked among themselves for a couple of minutes, when the captain of the airship announced their arrival.

"Everyone, we are now in the Eastern Commonwealth, I hope you all have had a nice flight and please buckle up for our landing".

Channary began to cry, here we go she thought.

Hey guys, I'm feeling some type of way about the fandom and I hope that you all will hear me out as this isn't a part of the story. I tried posting my feelings about the subject on tumblr and reddit, but it wasn't reblogged and people just generally ignored it. I would like to talk about a huge and sensitive topic to me, Princess Winter's skin tone. Yes, I really want to talk about this as I would like to get some actual feedback about it from you all. My main question is why is it that every time I see pictures and fan castings of Princess Winter, she is some mixed/light skin girl? Like really, why are you all making her light when Marissa Meyer's herself said that Lupita Nyong'o is an older Winter? In the book it is mentioned that Winter is about two shades lighter than her father, but her father is extremely dark skinned, so why is it that you're getting these light actresses to play her? I get mad about this because it's perpetuating the stereotype that "White/Light is right". Is it so bad to have a dark skin princess? Just look at the cover hand and look at some of the fan casting choices some of them have made. Yes, I understand that Winter is Black/Indian mixed, but you all do know that a honey color isn't that light, like look at Indian women (not Bollywood women who have used skin lightening creams) who are regulars on the streets and look at dark skin men like Lance Gross, Morris Chestnut, D.B Woodside, and Idris Elba as ideas of Winter's father. Please tell me how that equates to having skin tones like Zendaya's, Amandla Stenburgs, and even someone as white as Jessica Parker Kennedy? The people who picture Winter as light is basically saying that you all can accept Cinder's prosthetics and mixed race, you can accept Scarlet's chubbiness, Cress pettiness, Thrones blindness, and Wolf's depression, but you all aren't able to accept Winter's black skin tone which is detrimental to her character? It's infuriating to me as a black girl, and it's honestly come to the point where I fell as if I'm not accepted as apart of the fandom anymore. Anyways, what do you all think of this, because I really want a conversation about this. Have a nice day guys.
