DISCLAIMER: I own nothing Sailor Mars and Jadeite are not mine.

NOTES: I thought it annoying that the Moon Princess and Queen have names, but everyone else has planetary titles. Yes I realize Sailor Moon is about Sailor MOON, but even Sailor V only referred to her as Princess Venus and threw in a sliver of mythology. So long ago I planned on telling the Planetary Princess's stories before they came to serve the Silver Millennium. I had names for them, their parents, siblings, and suitors. AND then I lost it...(it is somewhere in my keep; where I do not know YET) So today I made a new on in hopes that according to Murphy's Law the old one will manifest magically. LOL...

Anyway here it is...

Sailor Mars AKA Princess Aeria is her past life name Rei Hino of Tokyo does not exist yet.

Aeria is a warrior Epithet
Timor and Metus are the Roman names for Phobos and Deimos who are the personification of Fear and Terror & Chryse is another consort of Ares. Figured the Planetary Princess live long live...why not have several suitors.
Enyo(Discord) and Eris(Strife) are siblings of Mars(Ares) in Myths
Symbols of Mars(Ares) Chariot, Dog, Crows, Boar.

Queen Phanes is the primordial goddess of Appearence
King Orphion is the primordial god of Life

The ebony haired royal impacted with the ground leaving a sizable scorched crater in her wake; her chariot would remain in the basin until she was ready for it. The area would be too hot and harsh for any human to wander too close. The Martian Princess looked around for any signs of life; she sighed in relief when she saw none. One of the earlier times she had come to Earth her landing had caused a volcano to form and spew out hot death to the people nearby. It had been a mistake, but she was younger then and full of stress and worry over the wary Moon Princess. She cupped her hands and a flame sparked to life in her palms; she gazed into it letting it show her where the Princess had run off. In her mind a picture formed showing her lush verdant hills; atop the tallest one, and among the waving grass sat the blond Moon Princess.

"From here to there; where shall I go, which way? Guide me with your light." Mars huffed out a breath.

The flame started to dance, and then became an arrow; the Princess formed a blazing blow, and shot the arrow into the sky. It rose straight up and then arched to the East leaving a glowing streak behind it. Mars smiled and started on her journey; following the trail that would lead to her quarry. The Princess was envious of the Moon Princess, who she could tell was totally enamored with the Earth Prince, but she was also angry at her for letting her feelings guide her into making stupid choices. The people of Mars were spiritually strong, fiercely loyal, and mighty in their independence. Becoming part of the Moon Princess's court was a favor to her Mother; Queen Phanes, and she would abide by her promise to protect. Now that the Moon Princess was running away more constantly, the Martian Princess was feeling a little insulted, the slightly taller and older royal was a Princess too.

"She thinks of no one but herself!" Princess Mars thought. "I'd love to be back home, I miss Enyo and Eris." She said aloud to no one.

She and her twin sisters had spent many hours practicing, learning, playing, and just having fun. She missed her strong people, and her parents. Most of all she missed Chryse, Timor, and Metus; the moment they had met they had instantly bonded. If she were more immature like Princess Serenity she would leave the Moon in her chariot and go home, but she was responsible and not a silly spoiled child. She was getting worked up again; she stopped and placed her head in her palms. She rubbed her brow and eyes trying to calm herself down since she did not want to cause any more damage to this world. She heaved a sigh and sat down; she held out her hands and manifested another flame. She stared into the glow and meditated; the otherworldly conflagration flickered golden, red, purple, and yellow. She smiled and rose she felt calm once again; she smiled and let the fire wrap around her arm.

A shout then shattered her whimsy. "MAIDEN!"

She instantly focused and saw a man with short fair hair charging at her; he was not holding a weapon so she simply spun away from him. She moved behind him and a serpent made of fire appeared around her.

He was agile too; he did not fall or stumble as he flew passed her. He then turned and halted in his tracks. He stared at the magnificent serpent; and then at ravaging beauty in the center of the fiery coils.

He was in awe. "Glorious."

She was about to ask him his intentions when more shouting voices sounded off nearby.

"GET BACK HERE YOU THIEF! I'LL TEACH YOU TO TRICK ME!" It was an angry man.

"Who are you?!" She snapped at him.

He snapped to attention. "Lord Jadeite Commander of the Far East regions!"

"What's going on here?!" She snapped again.

He quickly answered her. "A harmless little prank?"

Her powers were wasted on this immature man, who reminded her so much of the Moon royal, she banished her flames and started to turn away.

Just then the gang of angry men came upon them. "Got you now you little PEST! You may be some all mighty leader, but to me you're still just a little koi in a BIG pool!" The biggest one of them sneered.

Princess Mars nearly passed out from the man's foul breath; they all were obviously drunk, and itching for a fight. She wanted no part of Lord Jadeite and whatever trouble he had gotten himself into; she started to leave again.

The big guy grabbed her arm. "Maybe I'll get my money back by taking it out of your little concubine here!" He laughed. "Maybe we'll all get a turn, and be square with what you stole from us!"

"HOW DARE YOU!" She growled. "MARS POWER IGNITE!" She roared.

In a flash her warriors' uniform appeared, her eyes were a glow with the flames of her ire.

"I am PRINCESS AERIA of Phobos and Deimos Castle!" She shouted at them as flames rose up all around her.

The men coward and whimpered in fear, a few of them even soiled themselves. The higher her flames rose, the more panicky they became. Deciding to cut their losses; the men turned and ran away from her screaming at the tops of their lungs.

"FIRE BIRD!" She commanded as a great bird made of flames appeared and chased after the men.

Internally she took great joy in seeing the gangs fear and terror; Timor and Metus would be proud of her, they had taught her well.

She then turned on the cause of all this. "YOU!" she pointed at him.

To her surprise he had not run off; instead he was kneeling at her feet despite her fire. "I apologize if I have caused you great trouble. Please allow me to serve you; to make up for the strife that I have caused you, fair lady."

In second her fuku vanished and was replaced by her traveling clothes.

"You can serve me by staying away from me!" she grumbled at him.

Once again she continued on her way, to her annoyance he was following her. She stopped and turned on him; ready to knock him out.

He raised his hands. "I fear I cannot obey since we are on the same mission."

"Explain yourself!" She ordered him.

He nodded with a coy smile. "You see I know why you are here fire maiden; you have come to collect your wayward charge. I too have been tasked with retrieving our wandering Master, seems we are both no more than glorious wet nurses sent to find our wild youths."

Princess Aeria only sighed in response; her anger passed replaced by slight amusement and inner defeat.

He cocked his head to the right, and smiled again. "Perhaps we can find our Masters together, and in that time you can think of a way I may serve you."

"OH very well." Aeria thought the man was a little brash, but he had a nice smile.

As the pair walked, they talked of many common subjects, and found that they had much in common. At least Aeria no longer wanted to set him ablaze, so she could watch him scream and run in pain.
