A Long Lost Love - Chapter one

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

<<The Moon>>

<In Damoryus's Bedchamber> (The day of Damoryus's departure for the
Sun Kingdom)

It was a sunny day, which was ironic as that was where he was going in
two hours. To the Sun Kingdom. There he would learn all of his new
magic, sword, and hand-to-hand combat techniques.

Although, Damoryus didn't really want to be there. He wanted to stay
with Serenity forever. Therefore, Damoryus wasn't about to let
anything come between him and his plan to get Serenity. Or should he
call her Tys? It was such a funny nickname. He had started their
nicknames six years ago...

~~~Flashback *Six Years Ago*~~~

<<The Moon>>

<Teleportation Room>

A young boy came through the portal. His midnight black hair was
shining in the glow that the Moon Kingdom gave off. He was not happy
though. His parents had just sent him off the day after his 12th
birthday to this Kingdom of the Moon. Everyone else thought that this
was a great idea. The young prince would go to the Moon Kingdom and
meet the family, get into the Royal family's good graces. He would
then proceed to make connections with everyone to bolster the Crown
Prince Endymion's chance of getting Princess Serenity as his bride in
the future. Well, the little prince Damoryus didn't want to do this.
He had just had his birthday and he wanted to enjoy his presents, but
OOOOOHHHHH NOOOOOO! He was to go to the Moon Kingdom the next day.

As he stepped out, his large and curious chocolate brown eyes caught
onto a young girl. She was smiling and looking at him with the most
adorable crystal blue eyes. Her hair was done up into two ponytails.
On top of those ponytails there appeared to be balls of hair. Dressed
in a white chiffon dress that had gold lacings around the waist, she
came up to him and curtsied. Her mouth opened to say, "Welcome to the
Moon, Prince Damoryus. We are glad to have you with us here."

Young Damoryus was startled. His anger at his his father and mother
for making him come here vanished. He proceeded to bow deeply, as one
would to a highly respected one, to his hosts. "I am happy to be here.
Thank you for accepting me into your home for the time being.
Although, right now I am incredibly fatigued, so if you wouldn't mind,
could you show me the way to my chambers?"

The young girl looked to the older woman, standing next to her, and
asked if she may show the prince his chambers. The woman nodded.

As they went to leave, the older woman stopped them. She quietly
spoke, "Prince Damoryus, by the way. My name is Queen Serenity. For
now you may call me that. The girl who is showing you to your chambers
is my daughter, Princess Serenity. She and a guard will be taking you
to your rooms. Is this all clear for you, Prince?"

"Yes, your highness."

"Good," She smiled, "Have a pleasant rest."

<In the Halls on the way to Damoryus's Chambers>

Damoryus looked over at the princess guiding him to his rooms. He
decided to break the silence in which they were walking.

"So what would you like me to call you?" He said.

Young Princess Serenity smiled and seemed to think for a moment. She
said, "Please call me Serena. All of my friends do, and I think you
will become one of my friends, so please call me Serena."

The prince thought for a while and said, "I think too many people will
be calling you Serena, so I will come up with a new nickname for you,
okay?"

She said, "Okay, sure. What would you suggest as a name for me?"

Damoryus replied, "How about...Ren? Actually, no. I've got it!!!! I'll
call you...TYS!!!"

"Tys?"

"Yeah, Tys! See, your name is spelled S-E-R-E-N-I-T-Y, right?"

"Right."

"So it will be the last two letters of your name plus the first letter
of your name. Tys, am I not a genius or what?"

"Okay, well if you get to make a nickname for me, at least tell me
yours, or do you not have nickname?"

"I have a nickname. It is Ryus. If you want to call me something, call
me that."

"Ummmm...no. I've decided that since you got to make one up for me,
I'll make one up for you."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Your name will be...errrrr.... ummmm...ROMY!!!" (AN: In case you
didn't know this already, or were pronouncing it differently, this
name is pronounced: Romee. Like Rome with a lone E at the end...I
haven't said that since I was in like grade 3!!, the long E
thing...sorry)

"ROMY?!?!?!"

"Yes, that is what I shall call you from now on, except in the
presence of adults."

"Okay, fine, fine. But ummm...how did you come up with Romy?"

"Well, your name is spelled D-A-M-O-R-Y-U-S, so I took the M-O-R from
you name and put it backwards. Then I added the Y to make your name
sound like something."

The guard stopped and said to the two children, "Your highnesses, we
are at Prince Damoryus's chambers now. Is there anything else you
would like me to help with?"

The Prince and Princess looked at each other and said simultaneously,
"No thank you Captain. We are no longer in need of assistance. Thank
you for your time..."

~~~Flashback Ends - Back to the present time~~~

The now 18-year-old Prince Damoryus smiled. Realizing where he was
once again, he looked at the earth. (AN: I've decided that the earth
to Lunarians is going to be like the moon to us Terrans, k? K, I'll
stop making authors notes now.)

*Whoa!! Look at how much time has gone by. One whole hour has gone by.
That was a very LLLLOOOONNNNGGGG memory I just had. I'll be leaving
this place soon, in only four hours. *

He smiled again. His now black eyes grew unfocused as he remembered
the last time he left the Moon to go back to Earth to visit his
parents. He was gone for two years, and then came back...

~~~Flashback - Two Years Ago~~~

<<The Moon>>

<Teleportation Room>

The 16-year-old man stepped out of the teleporter once again. He
looked around himself and grinned. Nothing had changed here in the two
years he had been gone. A movement caught his eye and he turned
around. There the princess was. He bowed first to the Queen and the
Princess. Then, without regard to formalities, ran up and hugged them
both. He laughed as he pulled up the princess and swung her around.

The senshi standing there tensed their muscles, seemingly getting
ready for any accidents that might occur. Their duty was to protect
the princess at all costs. Of course, they knew that Prince Damoryus
would never hurt Serena on purpose. He and Serenity were like brother
and sister. The only people closer to her heart were her four senshi
and her mother.

When Damoryus finished swinging Serenity around, he smiled and said,
"Shall we move my clothes and items to my apartments now, everyone?
Oh, and how nice to see all of you." He bowed to each of the senshi as
he said their respective planets, "Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury."
After the greetings, everyone went their separate ways, only the new
captain of the guard and the princess accompanying to his chambers.

~~~Flashback ends - Back to present time~~~

Prince Damoryus hoped that when he came back his welcome would be
almost the same. He knew it could never be the same. Everyone will
have changed, including him. Everyone will be more grown up. The time
for that type of welcome will be over. Even so, a man could hope,
couldn't he? He sighed and glanced at the Earth again, *Shoot! I have
to go to the teleportation room now. I don't really want to go. I
might as well though. Here goes nothing!*

<The Teleportation Room>

Damoryus looked at the people seeing him off. Of course, his parents
hadn't shown up to see that he would at least go to the Sun. Everyone
else was here though, which was a relief. It was now time to say
good-bye. He stepped up first to Princess Amira, who was currently in
her blue senshi uniform, which identified her as the Senshi of
Mercury.

Bowing formally, he said to her, "Good-bye Princess. It was nice to
have such intellectual talks with you. Thank you also for your
tutoring me in all the different languages and mathematics."

She replied, "It was a pleasure to teach you. It was also good to have
such interesting conversation once in a while."

Princess Makoto was next, who was also in her senshi uniform. The only
thing that made her uniform any different than Princess Amira's was
its green colour. He bowed once again and said, "It was good to have
such a strong sparring partner in training. You have taught me well.
Thank you. It was good to know you."

The Senshi of Jupiter grinned saying, "It was no problem. You were a
fast learner. Besides, you gave me a fight that I won't forget. I
needed that."

Damoryus turned to the red clad Senshi of Mars, otherwise known as
Princess Reika. Another bow and he said to her, "Thank you for your
teaching in magic. I get the feeling that I am going to need it on the
Sun."

Inclining her head, Princess Reika smiled and said, "Good. I was
hoping that you at least retain some of the magic spells and attacks.
Don't forget to practice them once in a while!!"

He walked up to Princess Minako, who was wearing her orange Senshi
uniform. She was the Senshi of Venus, and self-proclaimed "Senshi of
Love."

He bowed grinning and said, "It was ummm...very different meeting you.
I guess the thing I will have to thank you for is keeping my sanity
intact while I was in training, and for the talks I had with you. They
were very helpful while I was stressed, or anything of the sort."

Minako replied, with a large smile, "Not a problem Ryus. Just
remember, now I know tons of your secrets!!!"

Damoryus said, "SSSUUUURRRREEEE, just because I came to you those few
times, you think you know me better than I do myself. Right." He
grinned and rolled his eyes.

Walking up to his brother he hugged him. His brother, always the
formal one, was wearing a tuxedo. It was a plain black suit. The only
other thing he wore was a cape and his sword strapped to his waist. He
grinned and said, "I'll be seeing you Endy. You can't escape me. Just
kidding. But do me a favor and take really good care of Serenity. She
is the best friend a person could have. Make sure she's always happy,
okay?"

Prince Endymion replied to his younger brother, "Sure little bro. I
can do that for you. There was no need to ask me, though. I would and
will protect her with my life, no matter what the cost."

The prince turned to Princess Serenity, who was standing next to
Endymion, holding his hand. Her plain, white, ankle length dress hung
perfectly on her. He mentally sighed at the fact that she would never
be his bride and said, "I will miss you Princess. I hope you have a
good couple of years before I see you again." He grinned and winked,
"Don't miss me too much."

Damoryus lastly turned to the Queen. She smiled with a twinkle in her
crystalline blue eyes. He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for
allowing me to be on this wonderful planet. I have had a great time
the four years that I have been here. I really appreciate everything
that you have done for me. Thank you once again."

Queen Serenity laughed and said, "It was not a problem my young
prince. In fact, it was a pleasure to have you here. Many of my
subjects adore you. We will all miss you. Now, you must go. Good-bye,
we will only see when you are finished your training on the Sun, so
hurry and come back soon!"

Mercury spoke up saying, "All preparations have been made for your
teleportation to the Sun. All you need to do now is step into the
teleporter."

Prince Damoryus, with his sword at his hip, his clothing on his back,
and his healing potions at hand, stepped into the teleporter. A bright
light flashed as they all yelled, "Good-bye Damoryus!!!"

<<The distant planet of Carypshid (Just beyond the Sun)>>

<A Dark Room>

A man in black robes smiled as he gazed into the sphere. His smile
grew a little wider as he said, "This is just the beginning, my little
princeling. Soon you will be within my power and control. You are
already halfway there." The laugh coming from the hidden room was not
heard by the many servants running to and fro in the halls.
