Neptune:
I feel the waves as they crash on the shore. I am the fated water scout, appearing beautifully! I am the daughter of the sea.
I wonder, though, as I look back upon my life—what would it be like to be the Princess?
I know we do our best to protect Serena. But that is all we seem to do! We die for her (although she brings us back). Can't somebody else be the damsel for a change? Like…me?
I wouldn't mind Amara being my prince or king. She treats me so well as it is—I can only imagine what it would be like to be treated that way by people who see me as royalty.
Amara would make a good knight in shining armor, riding upon a lovely white horse. Oh, a fantasy…
My palace would be Atlantis, definitely. We would have enough power to revive it. Such a wonderful place it is. Of course, the sea is full of wonderful places—but Atlantis is majestic. Even the thought of it gives me chills.
Princesses are always so attractive. According to Amara, though, I already look so much like a princess to begin with—all I would need is the perfect dress. It would flowy with ripples like the ocean.
She and I talked about it once—about ruling the kingdom together. She may have forgotten, since this was a while back, but I haven't. We discussed if we should just take control ourselves, for everyone's benefit. "What if the princess revealed herself, though, and wanted to battle for the spot?" Amara asked me.
"If she deserves it, she would win it back, no problem. It would be a test of her power and strength."
We even put it into effect after Pharaoh 90 was destroyed. We challenged Serena. Her Imperial Crystal made her invincible, however, and we could not harm it. Amara and I bitterly admitted defeat.
If I had the Imperial Crystal, though, nothing would defeat me. I've seen that crystal perform many miracles—maybe it could make me the Princess. No buns, though. I like my hair the way it is.
Oh, to be royalty—to rule the seas and the world—to rule the entire galaxy! That would be amazing. I know I could lead people. I wonder, though…Amara and I aren't exactly going to be expecting children…who would our heirs be? That's a strange thought. Maybe the crystal can perform that kind of miracle? Is that even possible?
What am I saying? The crystal sent all of us 1000 years into the future and has protected all of us from evil. Surely something as small as starting life would be no large stretch of its potential power.
I sometimes secretly hope that one of two things will happen: that Serena will grow up and prove us all wrong, or that she will be determined unfit to be queen, and perhaps Amara or I could step up to the plate. Or perhaps Amara and I could rule somewhere else…if not in this lifetimes or in this galaxy, then somewhere completely different in a new incarnation. And I know Amara would stand by my side as we ruled together in the stars.
