Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon F: Past Lives ❯ Prologue: The Births of Two Royal Monarchs ( Prologue )

On a calm, cool night, Queen Gaia stood on the balcony, leaning against the railing, gazing upon the endless sea of stars in the night sky. She admired of how they twinkled so brightly. Then she stood upright supporting herself on the railing with her left arm while lowering her right hand to lightly rest on her bulging stomach. Then she looked down to gaze upon her own stomach at the new life that grew inside her. She wondered to herself of how she now had someone to pass her destiny onto. Then she gazed back at the black sky thinking about the few months remaining till she gave birth and imagining how wonderful giving birth was going to be.

Queen Gaia smiled at the little bundle of joy that she now held in her arms. She was happy that she had someone to carry on the bloodline, but most of all, she had a child to call her very own. He was a beautiful baby boy and the news was already spreading throughout the kingdom about the birth of the little prince. So it was announced that he was born on the third day of the month of August. He had ebony hair as black as the night and deep blue eyes that were alluring every time you stared into them. But on this calm, cool night, the silence was broken as the little prince started wavering his hands around as he began to cry.

"Hush, little one! Mommy's here! You don't have to cry anymore!" said Queen Gaia as she tried to hush her little one to sleep. Suddenly, with loud booming footsteps, the king approached. The queen was rather upset with this. "Why can't you come in quietly like everyone does? I nearly had him asleep."

"Sorry, dear! Force of habit! I'll try to remember next time!" the king said as he enters the baby's bedchamber.

Queen Gaia smiled at her husband and said, "Please do! It's vital that he gets plenty of sleep for he's only a few days old." She manages to quiet the baby down. "That's my good little boy!"

"Endymion is a fine lad, ain't he?" said the king.

"He is indeed!" said the queen. "Time for bed my sweet!"

"I agree, my dear! Lets go!"

She looks back at her husband. "Not you, I meant the baby!" Then she tucks the little prince in his crib.

"Sorry! I seriously thought you were talking about me!"

"Well, now you know I wasn't. But now, I will talk about you." She gently brushes her right hand against his left cheek. "My dear King Darius, why don't we go to bed now for it's very late?"

"I couldn't agree more, my darling!" Then he intertwines his hand with the other hand at her side. "My dear, dear Queen Gaia!"

Queen Gaia frees her hand from his. "But before we go, I would like to sing a lullaby to Endymion. Go on without me! I'll see you back at our bed chambers, alright?"

"Alright dear!" King Darius reluctantly agreed and headed towards their bedchambers.

"My sweet little boy! Mommy will now sing you your favorite song." Queen Gaia starts to sing: "I will tell you a story while you are in bed. You're just a baby but you'll understand. Babies can see things that others can't do. And they teach us something new. In your eyes open wide there's a whole world to feel. All turns around it's a dream or it's real? Welcome to earth now you're part of the show. And I want to let you know. There is a fairytale for you. Hoping your dreams will come true. And if you find a way. Please let me stay with you."

Afterwards, she finishes the song and joins King Darius in bed.

A few years went by as Queen Gaia and King Darius raised their son on Earth, and now, there was news that a new royal monarch would be born soon. And just like Queen Gaia did years ago on a calm, cool night, Queen Serenity now also stood on the balcony reflecting on the little life that now grew inside her. She pondered on how much joy this baby would bring to the Moon Kingdom. Her dream, of having a child to call her very own, was coming true. Plus, this baby would be the new heir of the great dynasty called the Moon Kingdom and the future keeper of the Silver Imperial Crystal whom the queen would pass the crystal on to. She put her right hand on her bulging stomach and thought to herself, "Oh my sweet little one! Such an enormous destiny awaits you and important responsibilities are in store for you now. I just hope that you can handle them." Suddenly, a strong pair of arms wraps around Queen Serenity, resulting in, her jumping with fright.

"Don't worry! It's just me, my dear. And our baby will have to accept it's future if it's to be born into our family", said the king.

"Oh! Hyperion! It's only you! You nearly scared me half to death. That's not healthy for our baby, you know. But I guess your right about what you just said. It doesn't have a choice if it's our child", Queen Serenity said followed by a sigh.

"Oh cheer up my dear! We'll teach it our ways and it'll understand so there will be no problem", King Hyperion said.

"I know! It's just...nevermind! I'm sure it's nothing to worry about."

"Exactly! Now why don't we go to bed?"

"I couldn't agree with you more. Goodnight my dear, husband! I love you!"

"I love you too!"

They both kissed on the lips and went to bed together hand in hand.

It was now June 30, Queen Serenity's birthday and the day of birth of the new little princess as well. She had rich blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes taking after her father. And just like many generations before her, the little princess was dubbed with the name Serenity thus becoming Princess Serenity, the new heir of the Moon Kingdom and future keeper of the Silver Imperium Crystal. This sweet little child held great promise that who knew of the enormous destiny that awaited her. And in one week from now, a huge celebration will be held on the moon, honoring the birth of Princess Serenity. And so the story begins...
