Chapter Two
"Tonight," sighed Serena miserably as she sat down elegantly on her balcony with her eyes gazing passionately at the floating blue-green orb before her.
Serena had only a moment before placed herself down easily and comfortably on the cold marble flooring of her balcony with the shining marble chilling her to her very core. Serena then eased her legs to slide underneath her thighs and looked through the gaps that were between each pillar that held up the pure white marble of her barrier. She sat there for a little while deep in thought at what would become of her and then a small black cat with a yellow crescent moon on its forehead, jumped elegantly onto her lap. The cat surprised Serena but she looked at it and smiled broadly. However, she looked away then and unknowingly she gently began smoothing the soft raven black fur of the feline.
"I'm glad you're here Luna," Serena whispered suddenly as a silent tear rolled elegantly off her cheek and landed on the gown she was wearing.
Serena was wearing a beautifully made white and silver full-length gown that was made of the purest of silk and it was that long that it reached her ankles. The gown was flattering on the young princess as well as stunning as it showed off every curve of her young body and greatly flattered her breasts too. The style of the gown was brand new too as Queen Serenity had commissioned a number of new gowns for her daughter in honour of her reaching maturing age. The queen had always dreaded the day in which her baby girl's clothing would have to be changed but it was just another necessary step in consolidating the power of the Silver Millennium. Serena also did not like the new style of her gowns either as they showed off way too much flesh for her liking and she felt naked and exposed especially when she was in the company of young males. However, Serena sighed again as she continued to smooth the fur of her companion and then she caught sight of her pure golden hair in the reflection off the glistening marble. It glistened majestically like the solar sun and many people who looked at the princess loved her hair. It was brilliant and breathtaking like herself and it was so long that it swept right down past her shoulders to her thighs. Her eyes too were stunning and they always reflected her mood. They would sparkle like sapphires if she was full of happiness and would also shine when they were full of emotion. Serena's eyes were one of the most sincere pair within this galaxy and as Serena thought of her situation more, tears sprung to her eyes.
"What's wrong, Princess?" Luna softly purred as she broke the intimate thoughts of the princess.
Serena sniffed a little as more tears brimmed her eyelids.
"I just can't believe that my life has ended like this," Serena lightly sobbed, "that's all."
"What are you on about, your life ended? Your only sixteen Princess and with your whole life ahead of you," Luna comforted softly.
"I haven't much of a life Luna, a future throne and a crown that I don't even want and a forced marriage to some snobby stuck up brat."
"Your marriage is for the good of the kingdom, Princess and your mother has made a wise choice for you," Luna tried in vain to comfort tenderly.
"What kind of choice is one that I don't even know, Luna? I don't even know Diamond. What is like? Is he good or bad?"
"I couldn't tell you, Princess," Luna said sadly as she watched the sadness envelope her princess.
"I didn't want this, Luna. I wanted love and all of the romance that comes with it," Serena explained as she looked into Luna's deep brown eyes.
"Don't cry, Princess."
Serena looked at Luna a little more then and she slowly began smoothing her with her graceful fingers again. However, she then turned her eyes away from the graceful cat and then she stared at the huge planet mass of green, white and blue before her.
"The Earth looks beautiful tonight," Serena said suddenly going completely onto a different subject.
"Beauty can be deceptive," Luna stated clearly as Serena looked at her for a single second, "just look at their people."
"I'm not talking about its people, Luna," Serena began slowly as a small amount of passion entered her sparkling eyes, "I'm talking about the amazing beauty of the planet itself. I always look at the Earth when I'm feeling sad, Luna and I am always amazed at the fantastic show of colours that I see. The greens, blues, whites and greys. The Earth is different to us, isn't it Luna?"
"It is different yes but, Princess, I have never fully understood your fascination with that planet."
"I have always wondered what life would be like, just for a moment, if I lived on the Earth. What would I see? What would I do? Who would I meet? I know that I'm not supposed to think those thoughts or say the things that I am saying but every time I look at that beautiful planet, I see a light there, that shines brightly and I think to myself, that that light is signalling up to me, that I shouldn't feel blue or sad and that life could be worse. But that light, Luna, I always see it, every time, even when my eyes just glance upon it for a second. I don't know who or what the light is but I know that if I need uplifting, that that light is always there, offering guidance and support. Does it sound silly to you Luna?"
"A little but this realm is full of magic and surprises that not even your mother can grasp," the cat said comfortingly as its big brown eyes looked at the fragile princess.
Serena returned the look then and a small smile spread across her lips. She gently smoothed the fur on top of Luna's head then and she rose from her seating position and walked slowly over to her bed with Luna in the arms. She gently placed Luna down on the comfortable blankets then and Luna curled herself into a bumpy ball. Serena quietly moved away from her bed then and she opened the door to her room.
"Where are you going, Princess? Diamond will be here soon," Luna said sleepily beneath her fluffy ball.
"I'm gonna clear my head Luna, we don't want Diamond thinking that I'm some kind of crybaby, now do we," Serena replied thoughtfully.
"Of course Princess, but please don't be long," Luna lazily begged.
"I won't," Serena promised quietly as she gently closed the door to her room.
