Things to remember:

B) I do not own Sailor Moon, sadly. But that's okay. I'll live.

D) Roughly 10 chapters

E) This is the first of my Sailor Moon fics, meaning that it will have sequels.

More relevant info to this chapter: Short chapter! Even shorter than the prologue, lol. The Captin of Sirius is proud to introduce Princess Setsuna! Yay, the next of the third generation(Luna doesn't count because I'm talking strictly the court, not its advisors.

THERE WAS ANOTHER CHAPTER POSTED TODAY AS WELL. Make sure you go back and read it too.

Sincerely wishing you all well,
Kida-Asumi, the Captin of Sirius

Nearly two centuries had passed since Queen Serenity's coronation. Peace had fallen over the galaxy like a warm blanket, and its people were prospering. The Queen and her court were thrilled st how well things had grown beyond their wildest imaginations.

Now, their lives were getting some much welcomed excitement.

The next generation.

"She is so precious, Cronos." Selene said in awe, looking down at the little baby in her arms. Cronos titled his head in acceptance of the compliment, and joined his Queen in watching his baby girl sleep. The two were in the library. Selene was sitting in her favorite chair by the window, with Cronos standing next to her.

Princess Lady Setsuna of Charon was the first of her generation. She had her mother, Toki's, green hair and red eyes. Currently she lay in her Queen's arms, looking around the room observantly.

"She is our little pride and joy!" Toki - a fairly tall women with long green hair and glowing ruby eyes, dressed in a deep red dress that hugged her body and fell down past her ankles - bragged as she joined them. Behind her walked Stella and her little girl, Luna.

Moon cats and the people of Elysian aged differently than humans. It took them twenty years to age one human year. The royal families themselves aged like humans until they reached the age of twenty, and they stopped. When you married into the royal family, you gained the same ability.

So, despite Luna being almost two hundred and twenty, she looked about 11. She wore a bright yellow dress and her dark hair was pulled up high on her head. Her blue eyes were curious as they spotted the new Princess.

"Ah, Luna!" Selene's face lit up upon seeing the young girl. She had always loved children, and had taken to teaching Luna about court life herself, with the excuse that she wanted her future child to be advised by Luna the way she would be by her mother as well. Luna smiled politely, and bowed.

"Luna asked if she could hold Setsuna and I told her that it was fine." Toki explained to her husband, kissing his aged cheek. Cronos nodded, one of his arms wrapping around her shoulders. Selene motioned Luna over to the chair beside hers. Once the little girl was sitting down, Selene leaned over and gently placed Setsuna into Luna's waiting arms.

"How cute!" Toki cooed. Stella nodded as Selene and Cronos chuckled.

"She's so pretty." Luna said in awe, hesitantly touching Setsuna's cheek, as if the girl was made of fragile glass.

"Thank you, Luna." Cronos said, gently patting her shoulder. Luna smiled sweetly and began to coo to Setsuna.

As Selene watched the next generation interact, she once again felt a strong feeling of hope. Little Setsuna, the prophesized 'time itself,' was a completely normal baby; her future had been forseen of being fillled with hard times and isolation.

How could it be so? She silently pondered. The galaxy is more peaceful and prosperous as ever, and the next generation is upon us. Will it really become a time of great despair that will make this sweet child isolate herself?

Selene shuddered at the possible answers. She spotted Luna slipping a finger into Setsuna's tiny hand, and the green haired baby clenched onto it. Her heart fluttered pleasantly, and she smiled.

I will not allow anything to ruin this. Destiny be damned, I will make sure that these sweet children never experience heart break like that.

And with that thought in mind, Selene decided to ignore the notion of danger in the future.

After all, what was the worst that could happen?

A/N: What indeed, Queen Selene. What indeed. So, the next five chapters are going to be introduction chapters focusing on the children of the third generation. Any family requests?
