Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Book Of Days ❯ Concerning The Sailor Senshi ( Chapter 1 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

before this story can be told in its entirety and all can be understood and made clear, it must be explained as to what a Senshi is. What is means to be a Beautiful Warrior, a Daughter of the Stars.

The Senshi are almost an accident as it will soon be discovered, but a more blessed accident there never was. They were created from nothing. They are true immortals, for when they die they can either be reborn or go to dwell with the Gods who created them. They are the truest perfect beings ever, for they have no spiritual faults and physical faults are purely a judgment call. The elves are their closest kindred. How the elves actually came to be a race unto themselves in an entirely different story altogether and can be found in the chronicles called “The Silmarillion”.

The Senshi are always female, for that was the form that the first Senshi chose and so it became unwritten law. Only females will inherit the power, which brings for the Matriarchal system the Senshi live by. One in a few cases will there be an actual KING-dom, the title was a practical joke pulled by a Senshi who was a worshipper of Loki, God of Mischief. That is only if the planet is fated to or if the Senshi allows it.

The Senshi is fated to carry only one ovule within their wombs. Because of this twins, even identical twins, are exceptionally rare. Only a few bear multiples. If the fetus should die before birth or in stillbirth, the egg will pass on into the womb of the mother’s future incarnation. So then the Senshi will bear two, again a rare thing. If there is no child or the child dies after birth, the mother can use her own Star Seed and create a child, thus Senshi are also self-fertilizing, but only in the most desperate of circumstances. If that doesn’t work, again a rare thing, the Senshi may adopt a child and bless that child. The child, of course, will be less powerful then her mother, but the line of power will continue on. If this doesn’t happen and the Senshi dies without an heir, the Gods will either choose a new Senshi, or the family and planet will die out. Rarer still is the birth of male children to a Senshi. There have been a few cases of male children being born and, although they too bear great power, they will not receive the power of the mother and only act as a representative of that line.

The Senshi could almost be described as pure Wild Magic and therefore they are unpredictable and mysterious. They can live to a great age and the only sign will be the pure white of their hair and the luminosity of their being. When they reach a certain age or a certain mind set a Senshi may begin to fade. A term begun by the Unicorns of the mirror dimension called Luster. It describes the point in time when a Senshi cannot hold physical form and her body begins to diminish. That is when a Senshi may be at her most powerful, but any attacks or power used will cause the weakened physical body to completely give out. It is at this point when the Senshi reach a higher state of consciousness and being. A true understanding of life and the cosmos.

Each Senshi is represented by a virtue or an element which describes their principles and their state of mind. For example: Sailor Mercury, Senshi of Knowledge; Sailor Solaris, Senshi of Truth; Sailor Pla’ane, Senshi of Peace; Sailor Nix, Senshi of Opposition and so on and so forth. Some may even have two titles and may be able to switch between the two at random. Sailor Mercury, Senshi of Knowledge has also been known as the Senshi of Ice.

Senshi also come in all shapes and sizes and as diverse as snowflakes. The smallest Senshi ever was Sailor Pixtel, who was about the size of a house wren and could blow meteors into dust with a word. The tallest Senshi ever was Sailor Pluto, who was said to be nearly eight feet tall when the power was upon her (and it did not help that the heels of her boots were almost six inches tall…)

The only difference between Senshi and Humans is that Senshi can survive almost anything and heal without much of a problem under normal circumstances. To date there have been no recordings of a Senshi loosing so much as a limb and scars are so faint that they cannot be seen at a casual glance. The only exception is the Saturn Satellite Senshi, Sailor Atlas, whose family cursed themselves by sacrificing the right arm of every child born into the royal family. This was done to honor the passing of the Earth Senshi during the dark early ages of Middle Earth and to remind themselves of what they themselves have lost.

The Satellite Senshi were formed to guard the moons and asteroids around each planet if there was more than one. They were advisors and guardians of the outposts and edges of each Queendom and were sometimes known as emergency militia in times of war. The equivalent would be the Earthian Knights and Samurai who served their masters and cared for the land around the kingdom so too did the Satellite Senshi rule their outposts and moons.

Even though the Senshi were rulers and Queens in their own right they bowed to one ruler, Sailor Cosmos, who was the first Senshi born of the Star Cauldron and thus her line was blessed by the gods. Each daughter of the line of Cosmos bore a Godhead, though they didn’t necessarily come into their Godhead unless great troubles arose. But when those powers were awakened it would always be known as an age of miracles.

The Senshi dating system is split into three categories. Planetary, Main and Millenium. The Planetary dating system one that each and every planet follows and that, too, may be split from ethnic group to ethnic group, but the calendar follows the years since the planet became inhabited and guarded by a Senshi. The Main dating system is the one that is followed by the family of Cosmos and dates back to the creation of the Star Cauldron. This is also followed by all of the planets that worship Cosmos. The Millenium calendar is a splinter off of the Main dating system where all of the years are grouped into categories depending on the ruler and the circumstances. A millenium could last for only a year or could be unending, but is usually around a thousand years or so. They are named by the rulers and stay that way until another ruler changes it. Example: Ruby Millenium, Queen Selen the Red had red hair and was a fierce fighter on the battlefield in an age named for wars and bloodshed that broke out between Cosmos and Chaos. Golden Millenium, Queen Serenity the Pacifist rebuilt most of the damaged kingdoms and was so named by the great reconstruction of the age. Each Millenium has an important chapter in history, but the most important one of all that shall be told here is the Silver Millenium, named by Queen Serenity the Genteel for the time of peace that came after the Golden Millenium and remained for a full thousand years, but abruptly collapsed during the rule of Queen Selenity the Silver, mother of Princess Serenity the Pure of Heart…

I see a land of liberty for all
But how well I know how truth can rise and fall
That’s just the way it goes
Freedom has its price
Each day is a new experience
Each day is a surprise

Looking at life through my own eyes
Searching for a hero I can idolize
Feeling the pain as the innocence dies
Seeing it all through my own eyes

I search and I dream of a brighter day
I listen to my heart and I obey
How can I see it any other way?
I’m looking at life through my own eyes
Taking a good look at life through my own eyes
