Once they arrived at the Moon Kingdom, they immediately traveled to Queen Serenity's chambers. Outside several princesses were chatting lightly and were surrounded by laughter. Setsuna longed to be with them, but she was also curious as to what her gift was.
Serenity had been waiting for her arrival, and beckoned her near. Setsuna bowed politely to the queen. Lazarus quickly let himself out knowing that he had no business in such matters. Once he left, the queen spoke. She said, "Princess Pluto, I'm sure that your father informed you about why you are here. You are in the process of becoming the Guardian of Time. It has been a tradition of the Moon Kingdom to present the latest guardian with an ancient relic. It is part of the Holy Grail, and is called the Garnet Orb."
Setsuna arose from her bow to receive the Garnet Orb. It was a long staff with a key-like structure at the tip. At the top of the staff was a large garnet, glinting in the light. She ran her hands down it and felt incredible power coming from it. Queen Serenity smiled at the princess's awe-struck face. She said, "Enough of this guardian talk for now. We have prepared a banquet in your honor tonight. There are several guest rooms if you'd like to freshen up."
"Thank you."
Setsuna left feeling dazzled. She would be the Guardian of Time, and they were having a banquet in her honor! Her dark red eyes lit up excited, as she searched the corridors for a guestroom.
Arriving in a room, she picked up a brush and began to run it through her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror, and smiled at how her hair gleamed green. She pulled a small portion of hair back into a bun, while the rest hung long.
Quickly rummaging through the spare closet she found a suitable gown. It was hunter green velvet, with spaghetti straps. There were beads that draped over her bare arms, and the skirt clung to her.
She was ready.
