Malachite's POV
Malachite stood there waiting patiently like the others. They were all waiting to see what Lady Serena was going to do. She was quite bold to be able to stand and argue against five men. Although he was surprise by her tactics with Pegasus. He was sure the rest was as amazed as well. Prince Darien was pretty careful in signaling them to not reveal his identity. As best friends and protectors, they must do as he says. They know what to expect if this woman has known the prince's identity. The women would try to flatter him and be as feminine as can be in front of the Darien to get his attention. This woman on the other hand didn't care what everyone else thinks but her own. He silently hoped that Lady Serena, whatever mystery she is withholding will be a match for the prince. That is what the prince is seems to want. They all knew that the prince hates women who think too highly of themselves and who does nothing but try to become queen; they are shallow. It's true that those who try to flatter the prince are the ones that they, his friends, dislike as well.

Darien's POV
He admired her. She was brave and beautiful and she never seems to compare herself with other woman. This made him admire her even more even though she has those unannounced tempers when something annoys her. He and his guards stood there staring at the bush seeing only the bushes movements and once in a while, clothes flying in the air. It seems to him that she is digging for clothes. That reminded him of his mother, Queen Gaia, even now when he is already 18, mother still has trouble picking out clothes to wear. He would walk into her room and see clothes scattered everywhere, on the bed, on the floor, on top of the dresser, by the bathroom, under the bed, and on his father's arms. Darien would then look up at his father's face, King Damian, and then they would both have a knowing nod then laugh. It made him laugh now to think of how all women are so much alike.
He didn't know much about Lady Serena's identity and speculating the two ideas that were just brought out would be a good thing, but since he didn't care, he wouldn't bother troubling his head. It wasn't worth it. His thought was cut off as he saw her emerging from the bush; her hair was now braided on both sides like pigtails, braided halfway then curled the other half. She was dressed in a mere commoners dress but somehow her posture, the way she holds herself the gracefulness of her walk still holds a majestic appearance. He gasped, but held his ground when he heard his mens' audible gasp. "So," she said with a smile curving on her lips "I don't attract too much attention now" she continued "do I?" She countered. He knew she was determined to leave so he didn't bother to stop her. "Alright" Darien said "you seem pretty determined already, it doesn't make a difference if we say otherwise" he continued "so be on your way" he said it with an exasperated sigh. Lady Serena's eyes started to sparkle with laughter as she smiled. "It's about time you let me leave. You started to act like my parent even though I only knew you for an hour" she said to him as she walked back to the bush and gathered up her clothes picking them up one by one. Darien noticed that most were made out of silk. Very expensive the last time he checked the markets. 'She was a mystery' he thought to himself and he didn't even think of ever meeting her again. Although he wished it.

Serena's POV After she collected her clothes, she went back to face them all. Darien, by now had mounted his horse. She curtsied, "Farewell" she said, and then waved "have a safe journey" she said at last. "Goodbye Lady Serena" Darien said. "a safe journey to you, too, Lady Serena" Nephlite said. She nodded as they turned and left. They were the first people that she had seen on Earth, and so far so good. They weren't as ruthless as rumors had said. She made sure that Darien and his men were far from her view before she went out on her exploration. She was excited. She wandered in the forest looking at every direction, trying to take in everything at once. It was so green; everything was so full of life. Birds were chirping, singing in harmony, woodpeckers were beating at the trees and butterflies were fluttering over the most exquisite flowers she had ever seen. Compared to the moon kingdom, Earth has so much more life and so much color. 'Most of her kingdom was silver, there were colors but nothing ever stood out like this' she thought. Once in a while she could see bunny rabbits and squirrels walking by. 'These animals are so shy and so cute' she thought. It was now about noon as she found a dirt road that probably led to a small town or village. She followed the path slowly for about two hours. Suddenly she was tired; she had noticed that her pace was getting slower and slower. The front gate was in view as she felt everything about her going in circles. Her vision was blurred as she felt her head hit the ground.

Darien's POV
He didn't want to leave her. Somehow, within that hour he had felt like he knew her, but in truth, he knew nothing about her. Not even her last name. He felt silly and at loss of mind. He couldn't think strait-that was for sure. He wasn't paying any attention to his friends speaking until Lady Serena's name was mentioned. "What?" he asked. "What did you just say? I wasn't paying attention" "Oh" Jedite said "we were just talking about Lady Serena" he continued "isn't she a mystery or what?" Jedite said. "Yeah, she's amazing though" Zoisite answered "did you see her jump off of that horse" Zoisite started laughing "could you even imagine anyone in this kingdom who could even ride a horse except for the Queen" Zoisite said between his gasp for air. He was laughing really hard. Everyone started agreeing. Even Darien. It was true; the women in the kingdom could not even climb up on a horse, let alone, ride it. "She really got a temper" Malachite commented. "That's true" Nephlite said "but she's really attractive. Even in a commoner's clothes; she's attractive". They all nodded in agreement. It was about noon when he and his crew reached the palace. As they entered, they dismounted their horse and went to greet his parent. As he walked past the guard at the front door to the throne room, the guard announced his arrival. "Announcing the Prince, Prince Endymion and his Generals: General Malachite, General Nephlite, General Zoisite, and General Jedite "
