Centuries had passed since the first days of the Silver Millenium, centuries of hope, and centuries of peace. In every generation, a woman, who was a direct descendent of the first Senshi of her world, would inheirit the power of their ancestors, except for the Senshi of Earth. No one knew the reasons, but unlike the other planets, none of the women of the royal family of the Earth inheirited the power of Senshi Earth. However, this continued until only a few even 'remembered' that there was ever a Senshi Earth. With each generation, the power of the Senshi grew as the bonds between them and their planet grew stronger and tighter. The peace, and the bonds of friendship between the worlds grew, as over the generations, the royal family of the Moon married the royal families of the other planets, until all were bound to the royal line of the moon by blood, all but the rulers of the Earth, and the lone planet, Pluto. Pluto was the one world never colonized. Only it's Senshi herself lived there. Legend had it that Pluto was the original Senshi of her world, the one who had lent her power to the creation of the Silver Imperium Crystal. To any who asked, Senshi Pluto who answer only, "Perhaps." and nothing more. Senshi Pluto was a mysterious figure. She was the one Senshi who wasn't under the command of the Queen of the Moon, for it was decided that her guardianship of the Gate of Time demanded that she be not bound by the duties of the other Senshi. Pluto would be rarely seen more than a few times each generation by anyone, except perhaps the Moon Queen and the Senshi Saturn, for the three guarded things of power that could destory worlds, keeping herself aloof from others. Such was the way things were, until, one generation, a princess of the Moon was born. As with all the future queens of the Moon, her birth was guarded by the Senshi, but what was different was that Pluto, who rarely if ever appeared for such things was there as well. She remained with her fellow Senshi throughout the night, until the young Princess, named Serenity, as were all the heirs to the throne of the Moon, was born. As each of the Senshi came to view the future ruler of the Solar System, it was rumoured that some had actually seen her cry, though none had the courage to ask her about it. This was repeated throughout the Princesses days, every grand achievement in the Princesses life was marked by the presence of Pluto as she aided in her training. When Princess Serenity finally arose to her ancestral throne, and eventually gave birth to her own daughter, Pluto was there. As with her mother, the new Princess Serenity was watched over, and trained by Pluto. Her training, however, went into things that no other Queen since Serenity the Healer had learned. These were the ways of the warrior, and the ways of the mage, as well as her normal trainings as a crown princess. The Princess was also taught the duties of a healer, though she was taught little of healing itself. To many, this was very strange, but to the Queen and the Princess, it was like Pluto was an aunt who was always stifly formal in the presence of others, but could be warm and compassionate when alone with her family. When it came time for the Princess to receive her own Senshi, Pluto aided her. Giving her advice and encouragement. It was very strange, because the four inner Senshi, who would be the confidants and protecters of Princess Serentiy throughout her life were also the heirs to the thrones of their own respective worlds. This had only happened twice, in all the centuries of the Silver Millenium. When it came time for her to meet the crown prince of the Earth, Prince Endyimon, Pluto presented her with a beautiful silver gown. She watched over them with a melancholy smile, as the two met for the first time, and their hearts and souls knew that they had found their mate. Serentiy surrounded by the four inner Senshi, and Endyimon with his four Guardians. It was shortly after this that Jedite, the oldest of the four Guardians, and Senshi Mars began to see each other. Shortly afterwards, the other Senshi followed their example and began to be romantically linked to the Guardians. This was easily done as Endyimon leaped at any diplomatic mission which took him to the Moon Kingdom. Finally, the five couples went to the rulers of the Moon and Earth, to petition for the right to marry their loves. Permission was granted with joy on all concerned, and the formal announcements would be made at a Grand Ball upon the Moon. The Ball was to celebrate the nineteenth birthday of the Moon Princess. Not all was joyful at this time, however. For you see, a noblewoman, who was a scorned suitor of the Prince, had declared war upon the throne of the Earth. Her wish was to see all bow down to her, and to take the throne over all the solar system, and to force the Prince to be her lover. The womans name, was Beryl. Beryl delved into forbidden magics, and somehow began to communicate with Metallia, who had slowly been driven mad in her lonely watch. The two conspired against the Moon kingdom, knowing that only the Silver Imperium Crystal held power enough to thwart their scheems. Metallia provided Beryl with knowledge of magics which could create monsterous golems, or transform people into demonic warriors, which were called, youma. Through treachery, Beryl captured the four Guardians, and their seven lieutenants,. Beryl brainwashed the Guardians so that, unknown even to them, they acted as spies and sabotours. The seven lieutenants she used her magics to make into the Seven Shadows, the most powerful youma to ever exist. When told of the engagement and ball, Beryl planned a great assault upon both the Earth and the Moon, and prepared a spell which would allow Metallia her freedom. With the aid of the enslaved Guardians, Beryl and Metallia's forces stormed and took the palace of the Earth, and attacked the Moon Palace, believing that they could strike fast enough that they could prevent the use of the Crystal. In the fighting, Metallia killed both Princess Serentiy and Prince Endyimon. As an act of last resort, Queen Serenity used the Silver Imperium Crystal to send all of her people, both the living and dead, into the future, and to banish the Dark Kingdom into another dimension called the Negaverse. Unfortunatly, Beryl was able to use her magics to bring the bespelled Guardians, knowing that their powers would aid her greatly in the coming battles. In the blaze of magic that had sent the people through time, the Seven Shadows were adsorbed into the Silver Imperium Crystal. The Crystal shattered into seven gems in the colors of the rainbow, each containing the soul of one of the Seven Shadows as they vanished into the future. When all was done, only the dying Queen, and her two moon cat advisors, Artimis and Luna remained. The Queen gave them her Crescent Moon Wand, the talisman with which she welded the power of the Crystal, and all the personal talismans of the young Senshi, which were left behind when they had been sent into the future, and ordered them to seek out the Senshi, after they had been reborn, and to guide and teach them, preparing them for the war that was to come. With that, the last Queen of the Silver Millenium, died. Pluto appeared, and guided the two cats to two suspended animation capsules, which would allow them to survive until the Senshi were reborn. After they entered, Pluto took one last, tearfilled look around the place which had been filled with beauty and wisdom, but was now dead, and vanished, leaving the dead world to itself. ______________________________________________________________________ Moon Queen Magic: Chapter 1 It was a beautiful spring day, the birds were singing, the flowers were in bloom, but five young women, one young man, and two moon cats did not see the beauty of it. This may of seemed strange to most of the people who knew them, these six people having little in common to bring them together, but to those few people who knew the truth, that the six people were actually the present incarnations of the rightful rulers of the five inner planets of the solar system, and their High Queen (though they all chose to use the title 'princess' whenever they spoke of it,) at this time, known as the Sailor Scouts, it was no surprise. The eight of them were deep in thought over what had transpired the night before. A powerful monster had attacked, and the Sailor Scouts had been fighting it, when four warriors had attacked and destroyed it. That would have been cause for talk enough, but the four warriors had worn the ancient symbol for the Earth, and no one knew their identities. "It's no use!" Exclaimed Darien Chiba, sometimes known as Tuxedo Mask, protecter of the Sailor Scouts (especially Sailor Moon), present incarnation of the Crown Prince of the Earth, and fiance/soulmate to Crown Princess Serenity of the Moon, Endyimon. The news of the four warriors was of especial importance to him, because they were most likely survivors of his Kingdom. "I just can't think of anything." The two moon cats shook their heads. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
