[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Okay lets face it, I don't own Sailor Moon. Lots of other people do but I don't. If I did own sailor moon, well, you wouldn't see me here. But happily Pheobe and Damien are mine. Yay! Endia and Demitri however, are not mine. They both belong to Ellie Shields.

Okay now that thats out of the way you probably have guessed most of what this was about. Yep! thats right another Silver Millenium past story. But trust me! this is different. For one thing it's not going to just revolve around Endymion and Serenity. There are actually four new charecters created by me and Ellie Shields. So heres how it goes. I'll be writing for Pheobe, Damien and Endymion. Ellie will be writing for Endia, Demitri and Serenity.
The other parts should be up soon but right now theres only Damien and Pheobe.

=================================================


On looking upon Clios one would think it was a very unusual planet. The small orb of light stretched not far from it's neighbors Pluto and Charon and lay at the far reaches of the solar system. The only planet ever known to have been created by unatural means it's surface was a deep lake blue, the clouds gathered in the atmosphere gave off a magenta glow. The fields were an unfamiliar blue-green and the villages contained simple houses created of a glowing violet stone gathered from the mountains on the far side of the planet. In the center it wasn't uncommon to come across a pearl white temple where the ceiling opened in the center to allow for gazing at the stars, the celestial objects which the majority of Clios' inhabitants came to worship.
The residents of this small planet had their own oddities. Human in appearence except for the more slender appearence and pointed ears the people possesed an amazing magical and empathic ability, a skill which seperated them from the other planets.

Many of the villages had been emptied today as the inhabitants of Clios began to gather, some villagers had moved into their temples while a few made the long pilgrimage towards Calliope, the ruling city which held the royal family of Clios. Today Queen Almira would be passing Guardianship of the sacred Sailor Gem to her daughter, Princess Pheobe, and a new reign would begin as Almira's responsibilities were slowly passed on to Pheobe. The passing of the Sailor Gem would be the most important of them all. For the Sailor Gem was rumored by many to contain the powers of the senshi withen it's shell, a beautiful rainbow gem that channeled extrordinary power and nearly rivaled the Moon Kingdom's Silver Crystal.

Pheobe herself stood in her room, looking out the balcony to the mountains and awaiting the ceremony to begin. pulling some of the strands of her past shoulder length purple curls back she gathered them into a silver diamond studded clip, allowing a few strands on her forhead to escape binding. Her mother had been upset when Pheobe had chosen to chop off her long butt length hair in favor of a shorter version that hung just a few inches past her shoulders, but Almira allowed it. Although she would have enjoyed seeing her daughter in a beautiful violet braid similer to her great grandmother's style. Several times Pheobe had been told how much she resembled the woman. If it had not been for her violet eyes and more rounded ears she would have been an exact clone to the past Queen. Pheobe smiled, Queen Clio had died years before Pheobe had been born, but the way her mother went on about their ancestor, it was as if she had never left. The tales of her great grandmother were legendary among her people. Stories of how she had saved the planets with the moon goddess were passed through the generations, each tale growing so obscure that the true story was barely a memory. Sighing Pheobe let go of her smile. She wasn't a hero like her grandmother, she was jut Pheobe, another heir in a line of rulers charged to protect the Sailor Gem.

"Pheobe."

Pheobe turned around, smiling at the young maiden who greeted her at the door. "The ceremony has begun Princess, your mother is waiting."


=====================

On Earth, withen the main castle a man five feet and eight inches in height examined an embroidered black tunic, his eyes were a deep sky blue. He had light tan hair that stopped after his ears, bangs falling over half his face and reaching his eybrow while the other half had been combed off to the side. He had regular build that seemed to hide his muscular form, cleverly concealing what strength he actually possesed. Sighing he shrugged at the tunic, tossing it on the cusions.

"Hey be careful Damien."

Another man of about the same height and build immediatly snatched the tunic, smoothing out the wrinkles before carefully hanging it upon the wall. This man looked around two years younger, ebony black hair neatly combed into place, bangs cut somewhat shorter then his companions but possessing the same clear blue eyes. Coupled with this and the facial structure there was no arguing about the family resemblence between the two.

Damien leaned against the wall, watching his brother with minor intrest as he sorted through his wardrobe. "It wouldn't have fit you anyway. Why are you obsessing so much. Your not even obligated to come."

The other boy, Endymion shook his head, setting out another stylish tunic. "I'm the future heir, I need to be present on these occassions. Besides, it will give me a chance to meet the other kingdoms."

Damien rolled his eyes. "Wow, your obsessing over this brother. Father is only going out of courtosy, it's not even a required ceremony. Clios is a minor planet and no one but the moon kingdom is obligated to come."

Endymion sighed as he took off his shirt, tossing it on the cusions. "It's a coronation Damien. Not everyday you get to see something like that."

"Yes, with so many other planets coming up on their own coronation ceremonies what other opportunities do we have left? This wouldn't have anything to do with Moon Princess would it brother?"

Endymions face went bright red and Damien knew he had caught his brother. Controlling his embaressment the prince grabbed his chosen tunic and began to fasten the buttons. "I just heard that Clios is an unusual planet and has very nice weather. The subject of Princess Serenity has nothing to do with it."

Damien smirked. "Sure Endy, give the princess a kiss for me."
The older brother smirked as Endymion once again turned bright red before ducking out of the room.

===================================


The great hall of Mnemosyne castle was packed. People gathered on either side of the royal magenta carpet awaiting the arrival of the princess. The main entrance and throne had been dercorated with elegant purple velvet drapes where Queen Almira awaited her daughter with both Queen and Princess of the moon and three ther royals from the inner planets.
It wasn't long before the music began to signal her arrival and Princess Pheobe stepped through the entrance. Slowly she abroached the throne, taking careful steps so as not to trip and trying her best to not to appear nervous. To prevent her gaze from moving back and forth on the gathering Pheobe looked straight ahead, foccussing on the small gathering of royals. Mercury's pressence hadn't really surprissed her, she had been well informed of the planet's punctuality. Venus and the Moon wern't too much of a shock at all, both planets held a leadership over the planets, being here was their best intrest, and in the case of the moon, necessary. The pressence of Mars was still peculliar, until Pheobe had remembered the intrest in Clios' temples. What puzzled her the most was the pressence of Earth. Still, Pheobe remembered, this was one of te first coronations to take place in a thousand years. Even with a minor planet it was an important matter. The only other planets to have already passed their corronation was Neptune and Uranus, both acts preformed merely a few years ago, it explained why there was not a larger turnout of the planets to witness her coronation. Keeping eyes focosed on her mother Pheobe began her approach, her mind racing as the music played. She was one of the youngest princesses ever to be corronated. Many princesses recieved their coronation at the age of 18. Pheobe was only fourteen and already she was walking into her mother's shoes. It was those stupid attacks that were the cause. Her mother had always been weak, she had nearly died in childbirth. Would have died if itwere not for her father, who had instead given his strength to Almira. Pheobe was the first and only child of Almira and Enos, there were no siblings. Due to her mother's weakness Clios had been forced to remain isolated from the other planets, Almira's attacks prevented distant travel. Even when it was absolutely necessary the Queen had sent her daughter instead, therefore Pheobe was already well rehearsed in many of the duties. Despite her weakness Queen Almira had managed to remain stong enough to carry out most of the required duties. It was assumed that Pheobe would not be crowned until her eighteenth birthday. Unfortunatly her mother's attacks had grown worse in the past month, ruling was putting an unecessary strain on the fragile Queen and it was decided although just fourteen, it was vital that Pheobe assume leadership.
Humbly Pheobe bowed her head before her mother before going lower on her knees. Almira smiled and took her daughter's hand, gazing upward as she recited the chant. Tiny lights of magenta and purple flooded into the room to everyones amazement, the candles dimming as these new sources lit up the room like a blanket of stars. Almira smiled down at her daughter. "The passing of the throne is a rare occurance, expecially among the planetary leaders. Even rarer is the need for a child to reach maturity before she is due to rule. It is with pride I honor my daughter and pass the throne onto her."

There was an echo of applause as Pheobe was summoned to stand. Nodding quietly she faced the gathering, stretching her arms outas she had rehearsed so many times. Slowly she had begun to chant, the colered beads of light sped out from every direction to gather in a whirlwind before Pheobe. Pheobe raised her arms, the lights scatteringoff at the walls, colored banners rolling down, each decorated with the symbol and color of the plnet it belonged too. The candles once again flooded light into the room and the colored lights vanished.
Almira smiled as Pheobe turned back to her mother. In a practiced movement she took the wand which held the Sailor Gem, cand carefully passed it to the hands of her daughter. Pheobe smiled and bowed while Almira returned the gesture and looked to the Moon Queen. Queen Serenity smiled gently and signalled Almira to bow her head. In yet another practived movemt she took the tiara from the old queen's head and placed it on Pheobe's who bowed in return. Pheobe then turned to the gathering as Queen Serenity adressed the guests. "My lords and ladies, I present to you...."

But Serenity never got to finish, the entire crowd had gone silent as Pheobe head a loud thump on the floor behind her. Fear running through her she forced herself to turn around, at that moment the other rulers had turned their gaze to the thrown, the sight made Pheobe scream. Almira had colapsed right behind her in one of her worst attacks yet. Sobbing Pheobe kneeled down to her mother's side, shutting out the other screams and outbursts from those around her. The royalty stood frozen, looking on helplessly as Pheobe held her mother even after the last traces of life slipped away.
