Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Unmei wa Utsukushiku ❯ The Crystal and the Earth Kingdom ( Chapter 1 )

Before Reading:

This fan fiction is not, in any way, made to resemble any event that happened in the series or series movies. If it does resemble any other fan fiction or story line from the show, it is purely coincidence, and was not intended to be so by the writer, with the exception of some relationships.

This fan fiction is set before the series was to begin, and should lead up to the first episode. Due to the fact that this is before the series, there may be a few key details about each character that is different than the series. Please do not complain about any differences or yell at me for any out of character actions.

Because I rarely receive feedback on my fan fictions, I would enjoy it very must if you would read and review this story. If you have an offensive review, please e-mail it too me instead of posting it in the reviews section. Thank you.

Authors Note:

There are some characters that will be featured in my fan fiction that are my own creation. Before each chapter, I will list the characters that are mine and will actually have a part somewhere in the fan fiction. Names that wouldn't be on the list would be Queen Venus, because although she is not and original character, she will not play a big part in my fiction.

If you would like to use my characters, you may do so freely, as long as you give me at least a little credit. Thank you!

My Characters in this chapter:

Lord Saturn

Queen Gia

Prince Ceres

-----------------------

In the beginning, everything was calm, serene. The planets were at peace with each other, and all seemed to be right. The princesses of each planetary kingdom were very close to one another, and soon they would have to test their friendship. There was one planet, one said to have opened a door to the Dark Kingdom. Saturn was the Lord of Destruction, and was the only planetary kingdom that did not fall in line with the other. No one knew what Lord Saturn truly looked like, for he always wore a dark, ominous cloak that shrouded his face in shadows.

Lord Saturn did not approve of this peace between the planets and declared that the outer planetary kingdoms should not affiliate themselves with those of the inner kingdoms. Saturn was said to be in league with Perillia, a horrible dark queen who wanted nothing more than the destruction of the Moon Kingdom and all inner planetary kingdoms. For her attempts to send the Moon Kingdom into ruin, Perillia was confined within a dark crystal, cast out into the endless void of the galaxy.

However, it is said that the crystal never left the solar system, or even the rings of Saturn. Stories of the crystal spread across the kingdoms quickly, all except the planet Earth, but you will learn more of that later on. The crystal was said to have began the icy rings of Saturn, and that Lord Saturn kept guard over it, protecting the kingdoms, or plotting something larger? Queen Selenity felt that should trust Lord Saturn, but the other Royal families felt otherwise. What was truly happening in this mixed up solar system?

The Moon Kingdom seemed to have become the Kingdom of Kingdoms. The other kingdoms trusted Queen Selenity to no end, and there was no reason not to. She only had the best interest at heart, and never had a purely opinionated decision. Her platinum hair was kept in ondango style, as was the tradition of all women in the Moon's royal family. She was a sweet woman who always expressed love, but rarely anything else. Concern plagued her eyes, revealing a deep secret that was kept from even herself. Selenity cared for all the planets, but she cared most for Earth, a planet she longed to unite kingdoms with.

Earth was a civilization that knew nothing of the kingdoms of the other planets, despite their years of research. Queen Gia hid herself from the Earth, despite it being her own kingdom. She was afraid to expose her people to such a vast idea, and they seemed to think they controlled themselves, which scared her into hiding the empire even more. She believed a revolt would certainly break out at any and all times. Her first son, Prince Ceres, thought his mother's hiding of the kingdom to be a horrible mistake and was greedy to take hold of the thrown, whereas the youngest son, Prince Endimion, could not care less about ruling over such a beautiful planet.

Endimion was a young boy, only fifteen at the time, which was still considered a child for a male. His black hair remained short, never touching his collar, and slightly ruffled in the back. Endimion's eyes were a deep blue, something he had inherited from his father, and was accounted amongst his most attractive features. His appearance was nothing more than that of a regular human, showing no signs of royalty, which annoyed Ceres.

Endimion spent his childhood in one garden, a rose garden. The garden was his life, and he rarely left its safe embrace. Prince Ceres believed that Endimion was throwing his entire life away in that garden. He once said that Endimion's soul would become entangled amongst the thorns of the blood flower, ripping away his sanity, thorn by thorn. Then Pegasus, Endimion's dearest friend and keeper of the rose garden, would tell him he was being dramatic. "Endimion is only expressing his love for this kingdom through the roses. The roses are his way to the people, his way of expressing himself without announcing himself."

Queen Selenity admired the boy's love for the garden, and would have loved nothing more than to see him marry her daughter, Princess Serenity. Princess Serenity had eyes for only Prince Ceres and his love for his kingdom. She did not see his thirst for power, his thirst to control. Queen Selenity saw this in his eyes, and forbade the princess to engage herself with such a man, with little luck.

The princess had decided that one day she would marry the Prince of Earth, however Prince Ceres did not return her love for him. Because of his urge to control the kingdom and his growing lust for power over the entire planetary kingdom, he humored her affection. Queen Selenity was terrified when Artemis revealed this secret to her, so in order to protect the kingdoms, and with Serenity's best at heart, Queen Selenity set up a meeting. A meeting between herself, and Queen Gia of Earth.
