The deep fog of dawn settled over the quiet gardens of the majestic moon palace, shadowing the sparkling morning dew of the silver roses and white pond lilies that seemed most abundant in the moon’s beautiful gardens. The only sound as the bright sphere that was earth rose to cast it’s light on the moon was the clicking of tiny heels on the marble walkways as the young moon heiress, Princess Serenity, ran carelessly through them, unaware of the eyes watching her. “Galaxia! Where are you!” the eight year old cried, letting out a small yelp as she tripped over her own dress before landing in a heap on the hard white marble. She sat up, stifling the urge to cry her lunges out, knowing it would alert her guardian cat, Luna, before turning as the sound of heels clicked on the path behind her. Azure eyes lit up as the taller figure of a woman wearing golden armor appeared in the mist, followed closely by two others, though the others obviously younger. The woman smiled down at the silver child of the moon, sliding down to one knee, her massive sword clanking loudly on the ground in the silent garden as she took Serenity into her arms. “Galaxia…I don’t want you to go…” the princess whispered, tears welling in her eyes as she looked behind the woman hugging her, to where another woman had appeared to take the hands of the other girls. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune looked up adoringly at the green haired guardian of the time gates before looking back at their princess. “Galaxia…you must go now…” Pluto murmured tonelessly, watching with cold, unfeeling eyes as the golden warrior of the galaxy embraced Serenity tighter before holding her at arms length. “I will miss you, my darling Serenity…I will see you again…when you are ready to know me once more…” the woman with golden-red hair murmured softly, finally letting go of the young girl she’d come to love. Galaxia turned on her heel, walking with Pluto in the mists as Uranus and Neptune were left to comfort the crying child of the moon. “You will not be aloud to see her again. You’ve become too arrogant Galaxia. If you will not obey the Queen Serenity, you will be exiled. It is my queen’s wish that I ask you one last time…” Pluto murmured as they appeared before the time gates, the massive doors yawning open, “will you submit to the will of Queen Serenity?” Galaxia rested cold maroon eyes on the guardian, staring into the other woman’s eyes until Pluto was forced to look away. Galaxia smiled, running a hand down the other woman’s face. “No, Pluto, I will not. I will see you one day as well…when I come to see my Serenity.” the golden warrior whispered quietly before turning to walk silently through the gates of time, where she was delivered to the other end of the universe. The fog slowly faded with the gates of time, leaving one solitary figure to watch with narrowed red eyes…
