By Moonlight
Setsuna’s head had been tingling all day and she knew battle was coming. A man rose from a bench beside the lake. It was time.
‘It’s been a long time, Eve– no, Lilith.’ He drew his sword, a heavy thing that threw back the Moon’s light in brittle beams.
‘We will not meet again.’ Setsuna twisted her staff and drew out the long, slim blade within.
Blades clashed beneath the oaks and willows. Sparks flew and a head fell. It rolled silently into the water.
Setsuna spoke the ancient words as she sheathed her blade: ‘There can be only one.’

Planets
‘So what are you going to do now that Pluto’s not a planet?’ Ami asked.
Setsuna drained her glass and refilled it before answering. ‘They didn’t even know it was there until seventy years ago. What do I care what they call it?’
‘How did they deal with it in the Silver Millennium?’
‘It had a Star Seed associated with it that could support a full-powered Senshi, so they called it a planet. But I don’t care. Its status never mattered to us, only its location.’ Another glass.
‘Its location?’
‘If you have to ask, you don’t need to know.’

Nightfall
Sometimes, I watch the stars come out. Not often, but sometimes. I know too much about them.
This one lost its civilization to a massive flare. That one to volcanism.
A man owes me money on that little blue one there.
The second finest bar to ever exist in any world is right between those three stars. Well, until that meteor hit. The finest one is immune to such things.
And now the Moon is up. I don’t like looking at it. I know even more about it. Maybe I should take the Persephone and look for a new view.
Notes:
Drabble 1– Methos, considered the oldest Immortal, is often called Adam. Or so sayeth Wikipedia. Naturally, since Setsuna is older, she cannot be Eve.
Drabble 2– If I were immortal, I’d care very little what a bunch of astronomers had to say about classifying my property. It’s still mine, after all. As for the Asteroid Senshi, I will wave the magic wand and say they were deemed underpowered or something like that, so they aren’t planets. Finally, Pluto was discovered in 1930, so Setsuna is speaking in round numbers.
Drabble 3– Just some nonsense. As usual, none of these are supposed to really fit into any continuity.
