When my Mother stopped sobbing I toke a long look at her, she didn't look a day over thirty!
"How do you look so young Momma?" She laughed,
"The silver Crystal returned to me after you left, it stopped my aging along with the rest of the royal family, The People believe me to be immortal, its funny really nothing is truly immortal. Maybe the Silver Crystal but even I don't know." She smiled as her eyes turned silver briefly then the Crystal was in front of her. "The throne will stay with me but the Crystal has already chosen you so I have no right to wield it any longer. So I Selenity of the White Moon pass the Holy Silver Crystal to you, keep it safe." The Crystal made its way to me lazily I tried to hold it in my hands but as I tried my hand passed through it as if it wasn't there. It kept moving until it rested right on my chest then silver light erupted from me as it slowly merged with my heart making me want to cry out but I couldn't the pain was so intense I felt as if had been thrown into the brightest, hottest, fiery star. Once the light faded I whimpered.
"Will the baby be ok?"
"Of course the illusion of pain is because of your mind it didn't actually hurt you. In fact once you get up you should feel stronger than ever before." I tried to stand and I realized she was right my movements where like silk, effortless and smooth.
"Should I awaken the scouts?" My mother shook her head,
"No that is their Guardians duty, although its time for you to accept the power you revealed when the Moon Kingdom fell."
"What do you mean?"
"You awakened as a senshi of the moon, you had so much power and then you wielded two crystals at once! You even lived," As she was speaking a silver woman materialized,
"Hello Serenity Princess of the Silver Era, I am the first ever Queen of the Moon Selene, I was also the very first Senshi of the Moon there have only been four in existence but because you awakened during pregnancy you have insured that the descendants of you will all be Sailor Senshi, or the male equivalent. To call upon your Senshi form and powers you need to simply call out 'Cosmic White Moon Power' then you will become the first form of Sailor Guardian, protector of the White Moon." She then vanished, I took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Cosmic White Moon Power!" White light burst from my chest and covered me like silk ribbons, when the light faded I stood in the same armor as before, Red boots went up to my knees with crescent moons on the point, I had a white skirt that felt so soft against my skin. I tried to grab it to pull it down and I felt the hard armor quality on the outside of the skirt. I had white gauntlets that showed my fingers. On my nails I could tell that they had a thin covering over them. I pressed my nails to the wall and to my surprise it went right through like the wall was butter! The prayer room walls where made from Jupiter Oaks the strongest wood in the system. I depowered and relaxed in my power flowing over my skin.
"Now for the final thing before you return to Endymion. You must create your royal scepter. I originally intended for you to use mine at first but mine doesn't even hold a fraction of your strength." She grabbed my hands and I felt the rod of the scepter form it was white wit elegant carvings showing the life of the moon on it, holding it out I noticed that it was taller than me standing at about seven feet. "Channel your power so that the conduit of your power may form." I nodded, not holding any of my power back I channeled all of my strength into the scepter and I watched with awe as all the shining light coming from me started to swirl on top of my staff. The light intensified as the Silver Crystal floated to it and as it lowered it rested in the grove of my scepter just floating there, a crescent like my mother's proudly stood on my staff but the moon was silver and smooth, I could feel the power resonating in my scepter giving me power in a constant flux.
"What does the scepter do?" I asked curious,
I constantly take a tiny bit of your power storing it allowing it to grow unchecked until you wield me, you of course may just use me to make your power easier to command making it to the point where you only have to use about half your power you would normally use.
You are a sentient being?
Yes I am a piece of you only you can truly wield me but when you pass a part of you will sleep inside me forever in case you are needed, your mother refused to call on her ancestors don't repeat the same mistake.
Then my staff shrunk to a small wand but it held the same power.
"So have you decided to listen to your scepter or will you do the same as I and refuse to kill all your ancestors forever?"
"They will not die they slumber in their scepters willingly they could leave whenever they wish using them in times of dire need will not kill them. I will use them if I have to." My mother frowned,
"Fortunately for you I cannot argue with you about it because the Ancestors refuse to allow me to even access the Hall of Scepters." She smiled, "Go Endymion is waiting for you." I smiled and located his life force grabbing it I let it pull me to him.
