As for whether Serena will get the crystal back and is Darien Shields alive, you'll find out very soon. Here are the next two chapters!
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.
As Elena and Selenity sat in on the Senate as the Lunarian congress people discussed and decided the laws of the land.
They were currently looking for the masked vigilante the Moon Phantom. The Wigs and the Bourgeoisie Party. The Senate consisted of a group of sixteen elected officials who decided the laws of the land representing their constituents from the eight regions of the Moon. The Wigs were elected officials that represented the conservative and uuber wealthy Lunarians. They were dubbed the Wigs because they always wore fake white wigs on their heads. Even though it looked ridiculous to Elena, they thought their wigs showed sophistication and wealth. They were traditionalists that believed in the status quo and limited government. They believed that every Lunarian had the resources and opportunities needed to create the lifestyles that they wanted. The Bourgeoisie Party represented middle class Lunarians and the working class Lunarians. They believed that government was necessary to help their fellow Lunarians reached their dreams.
The Wigs were currently the majority and the majority leader was Lord Romer. Lord Romer was the one of the richest and most influential Lunarians. He believed in the traditional laws of the Lunarians and he ruled with an iron fist. He was a short and robust old man in his mid-five thousands that wore thick spectacles and was not known for being one of the nicest Lunarians.
Queen Helena sat with a listless expression on her beautiful face at the center of the room on her throne with the royal moon specter lightly on her lap. Selenity smiled at her mother who was wise as she was fair but always made people questioned her feelings on matters because she never gave away her feelings with her facial expression. Selenity knew that her mother sided with The Wigs than The Bourgeoisie but she was fair and never allowed her personal feelings to interfere with what was just and right.
Lord Romer argued, "The Moon Phantom should be found and hang in front of the center of town. To be a message to all Lunarians, that no one takes the law in their own hangs."
Princess Athena stood up in outrage. Princess Athena was a tall and lanky woman. She was described as beanpole. She had long dirty blonde hair that she always wore in a tight bun and pale blue eyes and tiny freckles covered her cheeks. She was five hundred years older than Queen Helena but she looked her age. Princess Athena was the Duchess of Aphelion, one of the wealthiest regions on the Moon that harbored Moon Set City, a vacation paradise on the moon, and Moontropolis, the largest city on the Moon. She was also Queen Helena's older sister and aunt to Elena and Selenity.
However, Queen Helena and Princess Athena were merely civil to one another. They were more like associates than sisters. Behind the false mannerisms they perfected towards one another and in society, it was quite obvious underneath the surface that they did not really like one another. The only thing that connected them was their bloodline. No one knows why Serenity I did not choose her daughter Athena did not become queen on her deathbed and why her younger sister Helena who chosen by her mother and the silver crystal at the tender age of fifteen hundred. There were rumors of course but no confirmations. It was quite the scandal then but over time people forgot about it and moved on.
Princess Athena said, "Lord Romer, that is a ridiculous notion. We are not barbarians. The Moon Phantom only avenges those that have been harmed by hoodlums on the Moon. The citizens of the Moon loved this masked man. To kill him would be to cause a public outrage…"
Lord Romer said in outrage, "And we should allow him to roam free and murdered more Lunarians before we do something."
Princess Athena cut her eyes at Lord Romer. Elena and Selenity laughed silently because they knew that Lord Romer and their Aunt Athena did not fancy each other. They always ended up in heated debates in almost every session. They started to argue with one another causing the other Senators to groan in aggravation.
Queen Helena rolled her eyes then waved her hand dismissing her daughters for the day. The queen made her daughters attend different areas of her job so that they could know how their society functions.
Selenity always asked her mother why she had to attend such boring events. Queen Helena informed her that she may one day have to take her sister's place if Elena was not able to rule. Queen Helena always informed to her daughters that to be queen is an important privilege that came with great responsibility, and it was not guaranteed to either one of them. If the Senate found the reigning queen unfit and detrimental to society, it was possible for their family to be removed from power. She always informed them that even though their bloodline was very powerful, they were always and most importantly servants to their people.
As Elena and Selenity walked through the center of town, Selenity asked happily, "Elena, do you want to go horseback riding today? It has been a long time since we went."
Elena turned to her sister and said, "I can't, my love. I already have plans today."
Selenity sighed then said unhappily, "Ever since we were children, we always used to do everything together. Now, it seems like we are constantly drifting apart every year we age like mother and Aunt Athena. One day, I fear there will be no point in calling ourselves sisters anyone."
Elena turned to her sister and said hastily, "That will never happened, my love. We are nothing like them. They allowed the crown to get between them. I have accepted my responsibility as future queen, and you have accepted that I will be queen and you will not. Am I right?"
Selenity smiled then said, "You are right. I have no desire to be queen. I think you will rule our world better than I could ever do." Selenity smiled faded. She said, "But besides royal events and our lessons, I never see you. You're different, Elena." Elena stiffens for a moment then sighed silently in relief as her sister continued. "You're always gone, and you are so distant lately." Selenity said turning her head and said looking sadly at the ground, "I am afraid I'm losing you."
Elena laughed then said grabbing her sister's hand, "You're not. We're always going to be together, and we will always be sisters."
Selenity said with a pout turning to her big sister, "Do you promise?"
Elena nodded then laughed as she embraced her little sister and said, "Yes, I promise." Selenity smiled.
Two hours later, Elena found herself in the barn where she caught Astraios ravishing the blue haired barmaid Amanda. Elena was naked and cover in sweat with her long hair loose and wild around her body. Astraios lied naked underneath her holding her slender hips as Elena rode him like she was horseback riding as her big and full breast bounced up and down in front of him.
Astraios then flipped her over and shoved his hard cock inside of her. He thrust hard and fast in her as her body was so moist and wet that he slid in and out of her easily. They had been secretly seeing each other for other a month since the day he nearly died. She gave her most precious gift to him two weeks ago while outside under the stars and watching the Earth and now she felt addicted to it. They practically made love, had sex, and today she wanted him to fuck her like he did the bar wench Amanda.
Astraios looked down at her as she made ugly, orgasmic expression on her beautiful face. He started pounding faster to her and Elena spread her legs apart a little bit more as their skin slapped against each other.
Astraios then started to lose his grip as he saw images of King Lucifer fucking her like he was. He started to go harder and became rougher with her as he heard voices in his head that sounded like King Lucifer. They said, "She's using you."
"You're nothing to her."
"You're beneath her."
"She could never truly love a nothing."
"She belongs to me."
"She's out of your league."
"You're not good nothing."
With a scream, a powerful orgasm ripped through his body and he released his seed inside of her. He then came out of her and fell on his back in disbelief at what he had just done.
She turned on her side towards him, her creamy, soft flesh tantalizing him. She gently caressed his sweaty chest as he breathed heavily.
She smiled at him as her long golden hair brushed against his skin. She said, "That was amazing, Astraios." She softly kissed him on his lips as her hair brushed lightly against his skin.
She leaned away from him as he smiled at her. She asked, "What is it my love? You've seen so far away right now."
Astraios gave her a light smile as he looked into her innocent blue eyes, "I don't know. I just feel like what the point of it all is. I love you, but I know I cannot have you. I know that I will never be good enough for you. You are destined for King Lucifer now."
Elena pressed a soft kiss on his nipple and said lifting her head to look at him, "But I will always love you first, Astraios. My body may belong to him but my heart will always be yours."
Astraios said sitting up, "Strangely, that does not make me feel better." Elena watched as Astraios got up and started to put on his clothes in a hasty and frustrated manner.
Elena sat up as she asked, "Why are you acting like this? You already knew that I destined to be with someone else. I am not getting upset about you sleeping with the bar wrench Amanda."
Astraios turned around in frustration and yelled at her, "Because you make me feel in adequate! I accepted that I was not lucky enough to be born rich or of noble blood. I accepted that I will probably live a mediocre life and the only girls that I can probably get are peasant girls like Amanda or be the secret lover of a noble woman like you." His eyes became emotional then he said, "But for some reason no matter how hard I tried to fight it. I fell in love with the fucking moon princess, the most impossible and unrealistic dream I could ever imagine. I love you. I enjoy being with you. I want to marry you and make a family with you but I cannot. I cannot be with you. I cannot be with the first woman I ever truly loved even from the moment I first met you, I knew there was something special about you. Now, I either let you go or drive myself crazy being your lover while I smell your future husband's sex on you."
Elena asked getting emotional, "Then, what shall you do?"
Astraios said looking away from her, "I am leaving the moon tonight." He turned to her. "It will kill me to have to listen to the happiness of your people when you married Lucifer and bear his children."
He looked at her with her dreamy emerald eyes and said as a thought occurred to him, "You could come with me, Elena. We can travel the galaxies together. You told me once that you wanted to see other places besides the moon. Come with me and leave this life behind. I may not be a rich man with fancy titles in front of my name but I am a hard worker and will work hard to give you a comfortable life. I give you all of my heart and love. Come with me and we can be together."
Elena looked surprised at him but her eyes smiled. She allowed herself for a moment to fantasy about a simple, normal life with Astraios. Yet she knew she would have to give up everything in order to be with him. She would lose her family, her title, her immortality, and her powers. She would be exile from the moon and never be allowed to see her sister again. Her mother taught her sister and her a long time ago that the happiness of their people was more important than their own happiness. Love was a fleeting emotion, and people fell in and out of love every day. Was she really willing to give up everything for a mortal that she only knew for a couple of months? She sighed.
Elena shook the silly thought from her head and said, "I cannot leave my home. My people, my sister….It is my responsibility as future queen to lead my people. I cannot run away from that responsibility."
Astraios looked hurt then said upset, "I figured you would say that. I was just a fling to sow your royal oats before you married a king. I don't know why I would ever think that you would choose love over duty just once."
Elena said, "I'm not romantic, Astraios. I love you and you are not just a lover to me. I could never love Lucifer or any man the way I love you at this moment, but I cannot go with you."
Astraios sniffed trying to hold back his tears. She wept internally as she saw the hurt in his eyes of her rejection.
A tear rolled down Elena's cheek and said upset, "I hate you, Astraios. I wish I never met you." She bit out angrier, "You are right. You are beneath me."
Astraios said rushing to her side and kneeling before her. He lifted up her chin as her eyes were red and covered with tears.
Elena cried as tears rushed down her cheeks, "You cannot blame me for being born a princess as I cannot blame you for being born poor."
Astraios cried as a tear rolled down his cheek, "I know."
Astraios said, "But I have to leave this place….I can't bear to see you with another man regardless whether he is king or not."
He softly kissed her lips then said, "Good-bye, my love. I'm catching the ten o' clock shuttle to Jupiter. I've always wanted to travel there."
He smiled then said, "And you will always be the first girl that I ever loved." He stood up and slowly walked away as Elena broke down into tears.
Her pride would not allow her to go to send Astraios off that night. She spent the next few days in the darkness of her room mourning him. She did not eat or drink and she refused to leave her room. Willow, her servant girl, attended to her and saw her lady looked very pale.
She bathe the princess with a cloth on the bed and said as Elena looked up at nothing in particular wearing her sleeping gown, "First love is the hardest, milady."
Elena slowly turned to Willow, who was now washing her arms and asked, "What do you mean?"
Willow said, "The boy Astraios, you met him at your Aunt Mary's Inn. Every Thursday, you snuck off to be with him. You two fell for one another…"
Elena asked stunned, "How do you know this, Willow. Were you following me?"
Willow said, "I am a Seer, milady. I followed you with my eyes. I saw you with him and felt how you felt about him. I guess that is from my empath abilities.
Elena said bitterly, "If he loved me, he would never have left."
Willow smiled at Elena twisted the wash cloth in the basin of water and soap she had next to her on Elena's nightstand. Willow said, "That is unfair for you to say such a thing, milady. His love for you was as strong as yours that he could not bear to see you in the arms of another. It pains him for the inevitability of your union with Lucifer.
Elena bit out angrily, "I hate him, Willow. I just hate him."
Willow said with a smile as she continued to wipe Elena with the towel, "Your mouth and your heart say two different things then milady."
Elena cut her eyes at Willow who simply smiled at her. Elena laughed for the first time in days.
Over the next few weeks, Elena begins to return to her original self again. She spent time running around the palace with her sister Selenity. Selenity was very happy to spend time with her big sister again.
Elena returned to her princess duties and occupied her time meeting with her citizens, going to political meetings with her mother, hanging out with Luna and Selenity, and discussing war strategies with her father, who was also the commander and chief of the Royal Moon Army.
Then one day, everything changed. Elena raced through the beautiful and spacious green hills and plains of Lunarian with her sister and Luna on their horses. Elena was an excellent horseback rider like her father who taught her. She laughed as the wind brushed through her hair as she looked back to see Selenity and Luna hot on her trail.
She started to feel disoriented. Everything started to double and move around her. She fell off her horse and everything went black.
For days, the servants of the royal castle attended to her as black in and out of consciousness. She saw a disappointed and stern look on her mother's face as she watched her mother turn her back on her and walk out of the room before she blacked out. She then saw an image of Selenity and Luna sitting on opposite sides of her bed looking worried at her. Selenity's innocent eyes were on the verge of tears as she begged her sister not to leave her.
Elena wondered why her sister will think that she would leave her before she lost consciousness once more.
Elena opened her eyes and looked around. The sun was shining brightly through her room and Willow was asleep in a chair not far from her. Elena slowly started to sit up causing Willow to stir and slowly opened her brown eyes.
Willow smiled and said happily, "Milady, you have awakened." Willow stood up and opened the door telling the palace guard to tell the queen that the princess has awakened. The guard quickly left.
Willow closed the door and walked towards Elena and sat next to her on the bed.
Elena asked confused, "What happened?"
Willow said sympathically, "You had a nasty spill while horseback riding with your sister and Luna. The doctor said that you were showing symptoms of early pregnancy, milady."
Elena's eyes widen then asked stunned, "What are you saying?"
"You are with child."
Elena's blue eyes became watery as she looked around in disbelief like someone had told her a loved one had died.
The door quickly opened and the queen walked in. She looked beautiful but her eyes were icy with rage and the tension was thick in the room.
Queen Helena said coldly not taking her eyes off her daughter, "Willow, leave the room."
Elena looked worried at Willow like she wanted her to stay, but she knew that her feelings were insignificant compared to her mother's. Elena nodded at Willow. Willow reluctantly left out giving her mistress a sad look before closing the door behind her.
Elena slowly got off the bed dressed only in her night gown and walked towards her mother. When she stood in front of her mother, her mother stared down at her like she disgusted her. The room was so silent not even a bird chirped or the wind blew. Everything was silent.
Queen Helena slapped Elena's face hard causing Elena to stumble backwards as she held her stinging cheek in shock as she began to cry.
Queen Helena said angrily as she circled Elena, "How stupid could you have been to bring so much shame upon this family? In the twenty thousand years, that our family has reign not one member has disgrace our bloodline as you have by giving away your virtue to such a lower being."
Elena cried, "You said the mortal were our equals."
Queen Helena said, "I entertained the mortals in order to preserve our reign but the mortals are beneath us. We are gods and they are the ants that we step on."
Queen Helena said, "From this day forth, you are stripped of your title."
Elena cried, "Mother!"
Queen Helena said, "Selenity will become the next queen."
Elena said, "Mother!"
"A carriage is waiting downstairs to take you to the convent in the Lunarian Town. You will repent for your sins and have your bastard. Your child will be given to a well-off Lunarian family. They will raise your daughter as their own. There she will be given the best education and schooling and shall live a comfortable, respectable life. After some time has passed, you shall return home where you will properly forfeit your title and marry King Lucifer of Venus."
Elena said angrily as her mother stopped in her tracks facing her, "And faces the humiliation of being the oldest and not heir to the crowd while your favorite Selenity gets the title. Admit it mother. You couldn't wait for me to screw up so your precious little Selenity will get the crowd."
Queen Helena said coldly, "No, Elena, it is your fault that you lost your title to your little sister. You chose to lay down with some boy that abandoned you."
Elena said with a smile as tears fell from her eyes, "I bet Selenity is relishing this moment. What did father do when you told him?"
Queen Helena said, "Selenity does not know that you are with child. She thinks along with the rest of the kingdom that you are going on a long trip to Venus and when you return home, you will never tell her the truth. As for your father, he does not wish to see you. You have disappointed him."
As Queen Helena walked towards the door, Elena said angrily after a moment of silence, "I shall never return. Tell my sister and my father that I am dead to them. My dream since I was a child was to one day become you and for once have you look at me with the same love that you look at Selenity. I love my sister, but I rather die than see her and her bloodline take the crowd that belonged to me and mine."
Queen Helena said coldly, "Then so be it." She walked out of the room closing the door behind her. Elena collapsed to the floor and cried hysterically.
Half an hour later, Elena watched as she drove away from the moon palace that had been her home for eighteen years and sighed sadly. Elena could have sworn she saw her father looked down at her from one of the windows wearing his uniform with her hands clasped behind his back.
Nine months had passed. Elena sat on a table and screamed as she went into labor trying to push her daughter out. The nuns rushed to attend to her and the midwife told Elena to push.
Elena cried shaking her head, "I can't. I can't. It hurts so much."
The midwife said, "You can my child. I can see the head. One more push and she will be out." Elena screamed loudly as she gave one last push. The crescent moon appeared on her forehead. A yellow aura surrounded her body and the room began to shake as the nuns began to become frightened. Elena stopped when she heard a scream that matched her own.
The midwife smiled as she held the crying baby in her arms cutting the umbilical cord. She then wiped the baby off and wrapped it in a tiny blanket. The nuns looked shocked as they looked at the child.
For some strange reason, Elena covered in sweat, wearing only her white gown and her hair was clinging to her body felt worried for the unwanted child.
She asked, "What is wrong with it?"
The nun said in disbelief, "Milady, it is boy."
Elena looked shocked as the nun placed the baby in her arms. It was a boy. No Lunarian queen has ever bear a boy in over twenty thousand years. The bloodline was always female. Elena started to realize that maybe she was really not meant to be queen.
She looked at the tiny bald-headed baby with eyes like his father. He had ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes. He was a healthy baby boy. She found herself smiling as he wrapped his finger around a strand of her hair.
One of the nuns took the baby away from her and told a tired Elena to rest now. Elena found herself falling asleep.
When she woke up the following day, she searched for her child and found out that he was given away soon after he was born. Elena begged them to tell her who had taken her child but no one would speak. She screamed in agony.
The crescent moon symbol appeared on her forehead. She breathed heavily trying to control her rage as a yellow aura surrounded her body. Her eyes began to glow golden as the nuns screamed rushing to get out. All the doors locked around them.
Elena asked as she began to float above them, "Where is my son?"
The nuns screamed.
Elena yelled angrily, "Fine, then die." She screamed as a yellow glow emitted from her body as the building began to shake as the nuns tried to get out screaming and crying for mercy. A large explosion occurred and everything was silent.
When the smoke cleared, Elena was the only one standing on top of rubble. She floated until she was on top of the Moonlight River, the largest river and longest river on the Moon. Her feet touched the top of the water. Her yellow aura disappeared along with the crescent moon symbol on her forehead. Elena walked on top of the water with emotionless eyes wearing only her nightgown.
Queen Helena was in her office with Artemis and King Zeus when one of the royal messengers walked in as the maid left him in. He quickly bowed before Queen Helena then said sadly, "I'm sorry to announce to you, your majesties, but I am sad to announce that your daughter Elena, heir to the throne of the Moon, is dead."
King Zeus demanded in disbelief, "That is blasphemy. Dear boy, do you speak the truth? Are you absolutely sure?"
The royal advisor said sadly, "Yes, your majesty. She died along with the rest of the nuns and the midwife at the monastery sir. The explosion was so horrendous that the bodies were blast to smithereens. There were no survivors."
The queen began to weep as Zeus dismissed the advisor.
When the door opened, they were stunned to see Selenity standing there with emotional eyes and started to cry. She asked sadly, "Is it true, papa. Is Elena really dead?"
Zeus started to cry as Selenity raced in his arms and he embraced his daughter as they all wept together for Elena.
Six months had passed since the moon mourned the loss of Princess Elena and embraced a new era of the moon with Selenity as its future queen.
Far away on the other side of the moon, there was a small village called Moonshine. It was also known as the dark side of the moon where rebellious Lunarians lived. It was infested with criminal elements and where mostly poor Lunarians lived. They were the unfortunate and forgotten that the Senate forgot about.
A dark-skinned woman carrying her two-year-old daughter in her arms raced into the city crying for help as two attackers chased after her. She screamed and banged on doors asking for help but no one would answer.
The attacker caught up with the woman and grabbed her roughly causing her to drop her daughter. The child began to cry.
The mother cried, "Please let me go."
One of the attackers said, "Give me all of your Lunarians and I shall let you go, wrench."
The woman cried, "I have no money sir. I spent all of the money that I had to get here sir my daughter is dying."
The other attacker said poking a knife into her stomach, "Well, she is not the only one who will die if you do not give me your money."
The little girl cried, "Mama, mama!"
A flying arrow went through the man's hand that held the knife. The man screamed as he dropped the knife on the ground. He backed up holding his injury hand with his accomplice. They ran off yelling at the woman, "This isn't over, wench!"
Two arrows flew at the same time striking both of the men in the back causing them to fall on the ground.
The woman rushed to her petrified daughter and checked to see if she was okay. The woman looked up to see a man walking out of the shadows. She gasped when she saw it was the Moon Phantom.
He asked, "Is she okay?"
The woman nodded her hand and said gratefully, "Yes, she is. Thank you, mister."
The Moon Phantom face turned into a happy comedy master frightening the child causing her to clinch to her mother.
The Moon Phantom said, "You said that your daughter is dying. What is she dying from?"
The woman said, "Settlers crossed over to our land and brought with them their diseases. Many of my people were wiped out along with my husband. We do not know what this disease is, but it has killed many of my people. My people called it the black fever because everyone develops a fever and then start coughing up black blood. The doctors back home told us that it was incurable and there was nothing that I could do for her. I sold everything that had including our home and land to bring her here. There were rumors that circulate around the galaxy that some Lunarians have the power to heal the sick. I have nothing left. She is everything I have left. I cannot lose her."
The Moon Phantom looked down at the girl. He noticed a drop of black blood coming from the child's nose. The Moon Phantom knelt down on the ground and held out his hand for the child to come towards him. The child looked at her mother. Her mother nodded pushing her daughter towards the Moon Phantom. The child slowly touched the Moon Phantom's gloved hand.
The Moon Phantom tilted his face towards the girl as a yellow glow surrounded the both of them. The little girl closed her eyes as she her long curly hair started to blow upwards in the air. When the little girl opened her eyes, she felt better. Her nose stopped bleeding and she felt normal. She turned towards her mother and happily embraced them. They looked around and noticed the Moon Phantom walking away in the forest.
The little girl cried out, "Moon Phantom…"
The Moon Phantom stopped in their tracks and turned around as the little girl said, "Don't be afraid when they come for you. Death is only the beginning."
The Moon Phantom asked, "You're a seer."
The little girl nodded.
The Moon Phantom asked, "What is your name?"
The little girl said, "My name is Charisma…Charisma Grey and this is my mother Susana Grey from the Planet Mau…"
` The Moon Phantom tossed the family a bag of coins. The Moon Phantom said, "That should be enough to get you settle on the Moon. I think that you would like Moon Set City which is only a few miles ahead of here. It is nice area and there is always work available. Tonight, stay at the Moonshine Inn and at first light travelled to Moon Set City. Stay on the main world which is nicely paved and you should not run into any trouble."
Susana cried happily, "Oh, thank you. Bless you, mister!"
Charisma said quietly as she watched the Moon Phantom disappeared into the night, "Thank you…"
Three nights from that night, a hunter party gathered with hunting hounds to hunt down the Moon Phantom. The Moon Phantom raced through the forest as he dodged arrows being thrown at him. They were chasing him for breaking the Lunarian law and murdering two men the other night and a string of other murders of men and women who were killers, murderers, and thieves.
The Moon Phantom raced through the forest and leaped over rivers as he tried to avoid their attacks. He cringed in pain when an arrow struck his arm and then his right leg. He fell to the ground. Ropes came from every direction grabbing onto a body part. The Moon Phantom soon found himself tied up between two trees with his legs and arms stretched apart and tied with the ropes tightly around the trees where he could not escape. Twenty men surrounded him. They were the lowlife of the Moon, hidden under the Moon's squeaky clean image.
One of the men who looked like a dirty pirate with a few missing teeth said happily, "We have finally caught the Masked Nuisance. Now, who could this man be?"
He turned around and said loudly, "Do we want to find out?"
The men cheered as the man turned around and said, "Then let's find out who is the Masked Phantom?"
He ripped off the mask of the Moon Phantom and was shocked to see that it was no other than Elena. They did not know that she was the princess because she had glamour on that made the world obvious to her true identity with the exception of seers like the little girl. All they saw was a young girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
They said in disbelief, "A girl is the Moon Phantom. I do not believe it. I heard the Moon Phantom had the strength to fight ten men. This is ridiculous!" They started to laugh. They did not believe she was really the Moon Phantom.
Elena did not speak as she looked at them with angry eyes.
A man yelled in the background, "She is a follower! Kill her!" The rest of the men started to chant to kill her also.
The man that looked like a pirate took out a whip. He got behind her ripping off her clothes until she stood naked before him.
One man made the comment as he glanced down at her body, "I guess she is a natural blonde." Several of the men laughed.
The man said to her from behind, "This is our message to the Moon Phantom. He will join you soon, Goldilocks." She watched the lustfully eyes of the men that surrounded her. She knew they would try to take her but she was dying, weak, and defenseless. They started to approach her. She even heard the sound of pants being unbuttoned as they walked towards her.
Another slimy looking man grabbed her by her long pretty hair and said, "This will only get in my way." She looked horrified as the man cut her long golden hair off until it looking that an uneven and barely went passed her neck. She became emotional.
The man held up her golden locks and said, "People will pay lots of money for the lucky hair of a Lunarian woman."
She gritted her teeth together as the man gave her thirty lashings with a thick, leather whip that left large bloody welts on her back some that took off pieces of her skin. When he finished, she was too weak to lift her head.
One man said, "Let's ravish the Moon Phantom loving whore." They started to surround her. One man grabbed her from the back. She felt his arousal poking her behind. Another spread her legs farther apart. They untied her and beat her and slapped her around. Elena let her mind wandered as thirty men took turns fucking her. She had one man's dick forcefully shoved in her mouth, another man fucking her pussy, and another man fucking her in the asshole all at the same time. Two men ravish each of her breasts at the time. They took turn fucking her and flipping her over and fucking her. One man ate out her pussy while different man shoved his dick in his mouth until he busted a nut in her mouth. One threw her on the dirty ground and started fucking her from behind. They flipped her over on her stomach on the ground and shot their semen all over her body. Her eyes started to close and her body became numb.
One man kicked her over and saw that her eyes were closed. He laughed, "The phantom whore is dead but she sure was a good fuck." They laughed.
They jumped back when the crescent moon symbol appeared on her forehead and her eyes flipped open with golden irises.
Elena laughed then said in a voice that was echo by the nature around them, "Have you ever heard the saying that making love to a Lunarian woman was heavenly. Each of you has my heavenly juices on you. Now, I shall take you all to hell with me." Elena's screamed a scream so loud that it sounded like a gang of banshees. A golden aura emitting from her body until a large explosion occurred blowing them all to smithereens.
When all was cleared, Elena lied weakly on the ground as her life slipped away from her while the men's bodies were blown to hell. She was naked, beaten, dirty, and swore all over. She looked at the small full moon that appeared in the sky. Everyone always believed that when the First Ancestor died she became the moon that orbited that world meaning that she was always watching over them. A tear glistened as it rolled down her cheek.
She said weakly, "Forgive me for my sins, Great Ancestor."
Elena saw her life flash before her eyes as life slowly drained from her body. She saw her many adventures as the Moon Phantom rescuing the downtrodden citizens, she remembered when Astraios left her, she remembered all the fun they had and first meeting him. She remembered horseback riding with Selenity; she remembered playing with Selenity as they made the entire palace their playground. She remembered how happy she was the day that Selenity was born. The excitement in her parents eyes. She remembered when she was two-years-old how they stood on the balcony in front of the entire kingdom and presented baby Selenity to the entire kingdom and those who travelled from faraway lands to see the birth of a moon princess. She remembered her mother holding Selenity in her arms wrapped in a tiny moon blanket and her father held her up in their arms as the crowd erupted into cheer.
She remembered her time with her father how he took her on adventures with him, taught her how to fight in hand to hand combat, with a sword, and a bow and arrow. He taught how to use her surroundings as her weapon to defend her against those who attacked her. Her mother taught her about wisdom and the art of manipulation and persuasion to get what you want from people. She taught her to be proud of her bloodline and to cherish and honor it. She remembered how close she used to be with her mother. The slight jealousy she felt when she realized that Selenity was her mother's favorite while she was her father's favorite. She remembered the day that she was born and looking in to her mother's beautiful blue, affectionate eyes. It was one of the rare times that Elena ever seen her mother where her beautiful golden hair down. She remembered playing with a strand of it like her son did to her the day that he was born. She remembered her son that was taken away from her. She started to become very weak and sleepy. She saw Death appeared before her holding his large scythe.
Like the little girl told her three nights before, she did not fear him. She welcomed his presence and smiled.
Elena said as tears glistened in the moonlight against her cheeks, "Good-bye Selenity. I will always love you, my love." She closed her eyes, turned her head, and died. Elena's soul came out of her body and walked towards death. She walked along side of him as they walked into a white light and everything faded to white.
