Chapter 2: Silver Milenium
-Silver Milenium..i'll go there to rest..says a falling star which heads to the white and bright Moon that is show in the starry dark of the universe.
That wonderful Silver Milenium..and her queen,Serenity,together with her girl,little Serenity and her protectors,littles Mars,Venus,Mercury and Jupiter.
Queen and Princess Serenity with the protectors and her kids were standing outside the palace and were taking a little walk on the alley guarded by high columns with water falling down from the top.
The kids were ahead of the womens,romping and fighting,especially Serenity and Mars.Their mothers were watching them with joy,knowing that one day they will be the best friends and will do anything to protect eachother.
-Mars,Serenity and your daughter brings back memories of us,don't you think?says chuckling Queen Serenity and looking to her friend and protector from a life.
-Seems that way,Serenit,answers Mars chuckling too.
-But then Serenity was more harsh than you,Mars,reminds her Venus.
-Eh..and Mars gets red.But this time it seems that the situation has changed.
-Yes,it seems that way,laughs Queen Serenity.But how hard they will fight and argue more harder they will love and care to eachother,smiles to Mars.
-That's right,approves her friend.
Meanwhile the girls were chasing little Serenity,laughing and screaming filling the air with sounds that cheers everybody up.All were looking at the little ones having fun when a falling star hits the Moon.
Queen Serenity knew that the star must be a visitor,because no villian will dare to attack Silver Milenium this way.She looks to the place that the visitor had landed and heads to it,together with her friends.
In the middle of a crater was standing a beautifull women.The first thing that Queen Serenity noticed about her were her eyes: red and warm.In fact,the women was dressed all in red,and her hair was like fire,and she was spreding a warm feeling that all around her could feel it,the warm feeling which was almost the same as their queen..they felt happy in her presence..
Queen Serenity makes a step forward to her and introduces herself:
-I'm Queen Serenity and welcome to Silver Milenium,smiles to her Serenity.
-I'm Princess Kakyuu and i'm coming from a far and distant planet,Kinmoku,and i was tired.And i want to ask if i could spend some time here,because the journey to my planet is so irksome,says the princess with a soft and warm voice.
-Of course,feel like home.Please follow me,i'll show you the room,tells Serenity heading to the palace along with "fire princess",how she was called later by the Moon peoples.
Queen Serenity drives her to the palace which was beautiful inside like the outside.The walls were shining like diamonds,the long coridors of marble were sa clean that you could look into them,at every window were white lilies,which were raised in specials greenhouses of which Jupiter was taking care,and the ceiling was full of stars,but quickly observs that in fact the ceiling was of glass in which the stars were reflecting.
Kakyuu was looking fascinated by the beauty of the place on which she had landed,but the voice of the queen had interrupted her from contemplation:
-Princess,why are you alone?
-Tell me Kakyuu.Usually i travel alone,and my trusty protectors had died..in a battle..says the princess with sadness in her eyes.
-I'm sorry to hear this,says Serenity approching her and clinches her shoulders gently.And since then you travel alone?
-Yes,but i'm doing it from respect to them.I promised that i will travel alone until i'll fiind their souls in other persons.
-How can you find her souls in other persons?asks wonderingly Serenity.
-On my planet there is a believe: after dying the souls of the protectors are heading to others protectors which will be their succesors.And this is why i started this journey..to look after them..
-Kakyuu..and for long this journey is?asks Serenity with a soft voice,knowing that she will get a surprisingly answer.
-For three years..
-And for three years you haven't seen your home,planet?..
-No..but the protectors were everything to me..my family had died during a battle and i was given to them.They were to me mother,father and sisters..and that battle took them away from me..[tears appeared in the red and warm eyes,now pained by the lost of the only family she had
Serenity hugs her and calms her down.After that she leads her to her room to rest.
The room was large,a bed with canopy was in the right sie of the room,the wall had a red-orange color,a small bookcase was above a fireplace which was across the bed,white lilies where in a vase on a table in the middle of the room.The doors of the balcony were wide open and a warm breeze and the smell of the flowers were coming through.It was a wonderfull room..but this thing made her sad...because it was reminding her of her room from home..home..what a dearly word and still so painful..
Queen Serenity notices her sadness at the sight of the room and she thinks that she might not like it..
-Is something wrong?asks Kakyuu on a worry tone.Would you like another room?
-Ah,no.Is wonderful this one..only it remind me of my home..of my room..
-Kakyuu..i think it would be better to lay down and think that soon you will find the souls of your protectors..you look so tired,a good nap will make wonders,recommends Serenity.
-Yes,you're right,Queen Serenity,agrees Kakyuu with a fade smile.
-Tell me Serenity,smiles back and after that she leaves her alone.
In another room,Queen Serenity was questioned about the nwe visitor by her protectors.
-What did you talk?asks curious Venus.
-Venus,the cat killed curiosity,smiles Serenity to her friend.
-Actually,Serenity,i think it is "curiosity killed the cat",corrects her Merecury.
-I guess it's right,Mercury,chuckles Serenity.You know i've never knew them very well,and bliks to her.
-And i'm wondering how did you got queen,says ironically Mars.
-The same way i'm wondering how did you get to be protector and the holder of the fire,replies back Serenity with a malicious smile.
-You twon never stop,tells them Jupiter with a dissapointed face and she gets back tongues from those two,and after that everyone burst in laugh knowing how good friends they were even after one of them being queen and the others just protectors.
-And what about the princess who's here?ask Mars.
-Well..she will be staying at us as long she wants.She has a really sad past.
-What past?ask all of them.
-Well..her family was killed in a battle..and she was given to a protectors who were her family in whole this time..
-Why do you say "they were"?ask curios this time,Mercury.
-Because her protectors died in a battle which i guess happened three years ago.
-And why to you guess?ask Jupiter.
-Because her journey into the univers started three years ago.
-Her journey..
-..to the univers..
-..started..
-..three years ago?!?! asks Mercury,Mars,Jupiter and Venus with their eyes wide open.
-Yes,answers Serenity.
-Why?ask Mars.
-Because on her planet is believed that the souls of the protectors,after they died,are heading to others protectors who will be their succesors.And that's why she took this journey to the univers: to find the souls of her protectors.
-That means that she doesn't know what she's doing!exclams Mars surprised.The univers is infinite!!How does she pretend to find those souls?
-Mars is right,agrees Mercury.I don't think what kind of risk she's taking.
-No,I do know,says a voce from the door.
The girls turned around and looked into the direction of where the voice came.They didn't kenw since when she was there,but her voice was determined when she spoke.
-Kakyuu,please apologise us that you had to hera this..i know that this isn't my right to share them your past,but they are my friends and protectors,says Serenity looking at Kakyuu worried.
-It's okay,Serenity.I don't mind.I should apologise that i've listened at your conversation.
-You don't have to,smiles Serenity and in response received too a smile from Kakyuu.
-Do you really know what risk do you have took?asks from sudden Mars.
-Mars!looks Serenity with taunt at her.
-Serenity,they have the right to ask me,i've came uninvited in their home.Yes,I do know very well,Mars.Can i call this way?
-Of course.And what makes you think that you'll find their souls?
-My trust in them and the love i'm still carrying on to them,answer without hesitation and with a sad smile Kakyuu.
-But the univers is infinite!repeats Mercury the words of Mars.It wouldn't be that easy.
-I konw,but neither was to them when they took care of me and to protect me..that's why i'll do anything to find them,says with determination Kakyuu.
-Girls,i think that's enough,says gently Serenity.We should introduce her to our children,and she smiles.
-Do you have children??asks surprised Kakyuu seeing them so young.
-Of course,chuckles Venus.They are the apple of one's to know them,says after that Venus and grabs Kakyuu by the hand and dragging after her.
-Venus,wait for us too!shouts Serenity towards her on,girls!she says after that they leave the room.
Outside,Kakyuu was meeting the girls who were like little mirrors of their mothers.
-Kakyuu,she is our little Serenity,says Venus showing to the girl with two golden odangos and pigtails,but we call her Usagi,because she's like a rabbit,she chafes any food;chuckles Venus,after that whispers to Kakyuu;just like her mother;which makes Kakyuu to burst in laugh and after that she bends towards the little girl:
-Nice to meet you,Serenity.Or you prefer to call you Usagi?
-Usagi is cute,answers the girl refering in fact to the rabbit and not to the name,but Kakyuu understand that she prefers the name "Usagi".
-She is Rei,Mars child,you'll note a lot of the temper of her mother,chuckles again Venus.
-Nice to meet you,Rei,smiles Kakyuu towards the girl with black hair.
-This is Ami,is so smart!No wonder that she is the child of Mercury.
-Oh,nice to meet you,little Ami.
-And this stout girl is Makoto or Mako,how all call her,says Venus and blinks to Kakyuu.She is the child of Jupiter.
-Glad to meet you,Mako!says Kakyuu and smiles towards the little princess.
-This charming girl;says Venus picking in her arms the last girl;is mine,Minako;and smiles to Kakyuu: Isn't her beautifull?Just like her mom;chuckles Venus without modesty,but so delightful that it was shown that she was the goddess of beauty.
-That's right,smiles back Kakyuu.Nice to meet you,little Venus!
-I see that you meet our treasures,says Serenity from behind who was coming with the rest of the girls.
-Yes,and they're beautiful!smiles Kakyuu towards them.
-Arigato!anwer all of them.
While they were watching the little girls playing,a little boy approaches to them.
-Queen Serenity,says he pulling her dress to draw her attention.
Serenity turns surprised,and so the girls,and looks down to the little boy who was watching her with tears in his eyes.He had black hair in a ponytail and blue eyes.
-What is it,little Seiya?asks Serenity worried and lifting him in her arms.
-Yaten is making fun of me..tells the little one with his lower lip trembling and more tears appeared in his eyes.
-Oh,Seiya,but Yaten cares about you..you shouldn't listen to him every time,speaks to him Serenity with tenderness and wiping away the tears which were falling to his cheeks.
Meanwhile,others two boys came to them.One of them had silver hair and green cat eyes,the other boy had brown hair and lilac eyes,and bought of them had their hair in a ponytail,just like the other boy.
The silver haired boy looks up to Seiya and stucks up his tongue.Seiya answers him the same way,making the girls laugh,less Serenity and Mars,which those gestures reminds them of their own gestures.
-Yaten,isn't right to make fun of Seiya,scolds Serenity.
-But he made fun of me too,looks Yaten without diffidence to Serenity.
-That's right,Taiki?asks Serenity the third boy who was sitting quietly looking to them,especially to Kakyuu.
-Y-yes..answers Taiki hesitating and looking to Seiya,who was expecting him to deny.
-Well,Seiya,you've goy what you diserved,says Serenity watching with amusament the little boy in her arms,who had lowered his look guilty.Now go back to play,adds Serenity and lets the boy down and sending him together with the others two towards the little princesses.
Kakyuu,surprised by the look that Taiki gave to her,asks Serenity:
-Serenity,who are those lovely boys?
-Kakyuu,is a mistery to me too..but i'll tell you what happened a day after the birth of my child,Serenity,answers the queen looking to the three little boys,who,it seems,to have a favorite princess.
