Setsuna's Promise
I have been here so long I have forgotten why I am here. No, that is not true. I know why I am here. A promise. I made a promise to my queen. I would guard the Gates of Time for all eternity unless a Moon Queen needs me else where. I wanted to help when the Silver Millennium fell but all I was allowed to do was to help call forth Saturn to bring the end with a drop of her galive.
I have spent far too many years alone in this hell. Hopefully one day soon the others shall be reborn. I miss them all but most of all I miss Serenity. No not the princess but her mother Queen of the Moon. She was my secret lover and my main reason for hating these damn gates. If I could have been on the Moon that day maybe I could have saved her….. No I know I could not change the course of fate but one can dream right?
Every time I look at Usagi I see so much of her mother in her eyes. The day I watched the Silver Millennium fall I cried. Not tears for the loss of my people and my planet. Not tears for the loss of the Moon Kingdom and the Alliance. Not tears for the loss of my fellow Senshi. I cried for the loss of the only one who ever loved me.
As the Senshi of Pluto time is our domain but we are only there to observe and to interfere has deadly consequences. At least I was there to tell her goodbye. I will watch the Time Gate for eternity but I made another promise with Serenity. One that was made as she lay there on that pillar dying after she had put Luna and Artemis into stasis. I promised that I that would always watch over the younger Serenity……
Started writing this a little while ago. It is actually what gave me the idea of Senshi Diaries but it got lost in the papers on my desk until I found it last night and finished it.
