 Author's notes: Alright, this is my first attempt at a Sailor Moon 
''fluff'' fic, so my notes will be short. Special thanks to my best friend 
and half sister Dakota for being a super Sailor Moon maniac. Love ya 
girl!


	Inside the many hallways and corridors in the Kingdom of the Moon, the 
soft sounds of footsteps could be heard. It wouldn't matter to half the 
Kingdom, the people fixed in their own affairs. But to the guardian of 
the Princess Serenity, it mattered greatly. The guardian, who's name 
was Adrian, had lost her sights of the Princess while talking to her 
husband. She never knew the Princess slipped away while she was busy 
talking about the plans for the Kingdom, or busy getting lost in his blue 
eyes. 
	When she noticed the Princess was gone, however, she instantly went 
crazy, but at the same time, knew where she was. 
	And she proved to be correct. She found the Princess in the royal 
gardens, admiring the roses, like she always did. Adrian, with a half smile 
on her lips, shook her head and brushed some brown hair out of her 
brown eyes, walking out of the hallway, and on to the brick walk way. 
	"Do I need to remind you that when you pull stunts like that, I get 
closer and closer to losing my job?" Adrian asked once she was next to 
the Princess. 
	"It isn't my fault that you are distracted easily." Serenity replied, 
not looking away from the rose in her hand. 
	"It seems you have the same weakness." Adrian answered, regarding the 
rose. "Was that not the same rose that the Prince of the Earth gave 
you?" 
	"He sends me roses all the time. You know that." Serenity said, 
standing up, and brushing the dirt off her dress. 
	"Yes, I do. I'm the one that puts them in the vases." She fingered one 
of the roses for a while, before asking, "Are you two going to do 
anything soon?" 
	She looked up in thought for a moment before continuing. "I really 
don't know. He has told me about some attacks on the Earth, and said he 
might not be able to make it..." 
	"And you believed him?" Adrian asked, raising an eyebrow. "Serenity, 
he would go through Hell and back for you, and you thought he wouldn't 
come back because of some little attacks?" 
	"Yes, I must ask the same question." 
	Before she was able to fight back, Serenity was instantly aware of the 
deep voice that came from behind her. She smiled, and turned around. 
Not much to her surprise, she found Prince Endymion of the Earth standing 
with a smirk on his face, his jet black hair flying with the breeze, 
along with his cape. His hand rested on the butt of his sword, and his 
expression changed from a smirk to a loving smile. 
	"You know me, Serenity. If I were to say something like that, it would 
mean I would try everything I could to get to you." He walked up to 
her, and looked at Adrian. "Good evening Adrian. Is she raising your 
chances of losing your job again?" 
	Adrian smiled. "Good evening, Endymion. She is actually. Yet I have no 
idea how you put up with her." 
	Endymion smiled. "I have my ways." he said, before winking at her. 
Serenity blushed. 
	"Well, I have things to do, too. If you will excuse me." Adrian turned 
with a smile on her face, remembering a time when she, too, where that 
young and, as the two behind her, that much in love. 



	He was busy at the computer terminal when she came in. His head darted 
up and down at the keypad and the screen. Adrian smiled, and walked up 
behind him, brushing back some of his blond hair from his ear. "Found 
anything yet?" 
	He jumped slightly, and turned around in his seat, glaring at her with 
his blue eyes. "Adrian, how many times have I told you not to do 
that??" 
	"Enough to give me a headache, Drinein. Did you get to the Sun yet?" 
she wrapped her arms around her husbands neck before resting her head on 
his shoulder. 
	"Nothing yet." He answered, kissing her cheek. "Why aren't they 
answering? They know who we are. Besides, it's rude not to answer to a King 
and Queen of a planet." 
	"Would you keep it down? We don't want any one to know who we really 
are! If they found out we were here and not ruling our planet, there 
would be trouble." 
	Suddenly, the computer turned on, and the two were filled with 
puzzlement and shock. 
	The Negaverse army was near the castle of the sun, sitting there as 
the army of the Sun was telling them to retreat. Adrian typed in some 
letters on the pad, and they could see the size of the warriors that was 
there. 
	"Can they beat them with that many people?" Adrian whispered. 
	Drinein was silent. He lead their view to the leader of both armies. 
Drinein eyed his wife, who was standing there with a puzzled look on her 
face. 
	"What's wrong?" 
	"I know that guy," She said, pointing at the Negaverse leader. "Isn't 
that Beryl's boyfriend?" 
	"Lady Beryl? From Earth?" 
	Adrian sighed. "Yes, even the Lady Beryl can get a boyfriend every now 
and then, but what is he doing with the Negaverse?" 
	"Who is leading the Sun's army?" 
	"General Greyland Mccall," She pointed. "That dude sitting on his 
horse with the black hair and brown eyes. He is good, but his leading 
stances are very weak. I just hope he can do this." 
	They waited for a little, both praying to God that something would 
happen. But they both knew how the Negaverse got their ways. 
	Kill the leader of army, get to royalty, then the throne. 
	They looked back and forth from the armies, waiting for movement. They 
seemed to notice how young the warriors were for the sun, guessing that 
the ages where from seventeen to fourteen. Didn't they just go against 
the orders that the King and Queen had put that no person under 
seventeen is allowed in the army? 
	All the thoughts meant nothing as one single arrow, sharp and fast, 
hit the General Mccall in the heart. 
	Soon, the nightmare was repeated as thousands of the same arrows hit 
the front line army men, sending them to their deaths in an instant. 
	This was their chance, and the Negaverse attacked the Kingdom of the 
sun. 
	"No...." Adrian said softly "not the Sun..." 
	"They were defenseless," Drinein answered. "We left them." 
	"This can't happen!" Adrian paced around the room, her hand on the 
butt of her sword. "We can't let this happen to the Earth or the Moon. Who 
knows how the universe would turn out? Completely controlled by the 
Negaverse!!" 
	Drinein stood up beside her. He took her in his arms, and held her, 
kissing her head softly. "We won't let this happen again. We must guard 
these planets with our lives." He pulled her back slightly. "Endymion is 
leaving soon. I'll discuss this matter with him, maybe he could figure 
out something." 
	Adrian sighed. "Your leaving? So soon?" 
	Drinein looked at her, his blue eyes filled with sadness. It was hard 
leaving his wife, that he loved so much, so often. He always had a 
picture of her in his pocket, and he would look at it occasionally. 
Although, the real thing was so much better. Almost everyday he would dream 
about holding her, kissing her... those kind of things. It upset him that 
he had to do it so often. 
	"I am sorry," he whispered in her hair. "But you know why we are here. 
Or, why we were here. We must protect Endymion and Serenity with 
everything we have." 
	"Do all of our conversations have to go back to them?" Adrian asked, 
resting her head on his chest. 
	"I really do miss you, if that is what you want to know." Drinein 
said, unsure about what she would say. 
	"I miss you too, but I miss you too much! We're married! It's hard not 
being with you like we were on the Sun. When I'm alone, I talk to air! 
When I'm going to bed, I tell a picture 'I love you'! When I have a 
nightmare or something of the sort, I cry myself to sleep! When my day is 
rough, I have no one who comforts me, or tells me that he loves me!" 
Well, there. She had just poured out everything on her mind. Now they 
could talk about their troubles again. What satisfaction. 
	"I'm so sorry.." was all he could say. "I have to do the same things 
sometimes. I hurts me to know that I have to go days without seeing my," 
Here, he tiled her head up and put his forehead on hers "Undeniably 
beautiful wife."
	 She smiled. "And it hurts me to know I can't see my husband with the 
romantic smile, and the blondish brown hair, and the killer blue eyes," 
Here he laughed a little. "And who loves me for who I am. Not for my 
status." 
	They rested in each others arms for a while before Adrian said "Gosh, 
I miss you." 
	Drinein laughed and gave her his famous 'to die for' smile. "Let's not 
think about that right now. Let's enjoy being together." She smiled, 
and leaned her face closer to his. He did the same, and they found 
themselves in an earth shattering kiss. Adrian knew he could kiss, but THIS! 
This was something new! She liked the feeling of his long eyelashes 
tickling her cheek, and his bangs landing on her face. When the kiss 
ended, he smiled. "We need to do that more often." 
	Adrian sighed. "Yes...we do." She rested her head back on his chest, 
and sighed. "I love you." 
	He smiled and kissed her forehead. "I'm glad. But I love you more." 
	She raised an eyebrow. "No, I love you more." 
	"I love you more." 
	"I love you more." 
	"No, I love you more!" 
	"I love you more, and that's that!" She smacked him on the chest 
playfully, and smiled. "But I'm glad you're living up to the competition." 
	"What competition? I loved you from the start, and I will love you 
till the end and beyond." 
	She smiled. Now out of his arms, she stood five feet away from him. 
"You ARE a hopeless romantic, sir. But I still think marrying you was the 
best thing I did in my life." 
	He smiled. "Ditto. Now, come here!" He said, grabbing her arm, and 
pulling her in for another kiss. 



	"Must you leave so soon, Endy?" Serenity asked Endymion, as they 
walked near his shuttle.
	 "You know if my parents found out, they would kill me. I need to get 
back." He looked into her blue eyes, and saw the pain and hurt as she 
looked down. He lifted her head with his fingers, and met her gaze. "But 
I will be back soon. I promise." 
	He tilted his head down, and kissed her lips gently. He placed his 
hand on her cheek lightly, and grabbed the end of his cape, wrapping it 
around her slender shoulders, and deepening the kiss. She of course gave 
in, and placed a hand on his neck, the other one going to the back of 
his head, messing with the black hair that was there. When they parted, 
slightly dazed, he put his forehead on hers. He looked at her lovingly, 
and smiled. "Something to remember me by." 
	"How could I forget you? The one who I love?" 
	"I just hope one day that I'm not 'that guy over there that you are in 
love with'. Do you know how much that would kill me?" 
	A shout was heard from the cockpit of the shuttle, and Drinein's voice 
could be heard. "Endymion, we need to go! Your parents are looking for 
you!" 
	He eyed the small shuttle, that really looked like a one man fighter 
from the military, and shook his head. "Drat. Not again." 
	"You must hurry back then. Don't let me stop you." Serenity said, on 
the verge of tears. 
	"Don't cry, Serenity. I swear I will be back soon. Hell and high 
waters couldn't stop me from getting to you. 
	She smiled. "I love you." 
	"And I love you." He placed one more kiss on her forehead, before 
walking to his shuttle. He stopped before the door, and threw out something 
to her, something in a small box. 
	It was only when the shuttle left that she could look at what he had 
dropped. She ran to it, and picked it up, hoping what was inside wasn't 
broken. But when she looked inside, she gasped, and put a hand to her 
heart. 
	There was a necklace there. A small, golden chain leading to the 
middle where she saw a rose made from the rose topaz gem. Small diamonds 
surrounded it, and she marveled its beauty, only to notice a note. 

	Serenity, 
	My love for you is pure, like the diamonds. There will never be a time 
when I won't think about you. I love you so much my dear. Remember 
that. 
	With all my love, 
		Endymion. 



	"You know your parents want to see you, right?" Drinein asked in the 
hallways of the kingdom of the Earth. 
	"Is there ever a time when they don't?" Endymion smiled, and walked 
along side his guardian and friend. 
	"This is the fifth time, majesty. Hadn't you try and do this at night 
next time?" 	
	"If there is a next time...." Endymion opened the large doors that 
lead to the throne room. He wasn't surprised to see it in it's splendor, 
like it always was. A room filled with banners and windows. And fairly 
large. And in front of the read carpet, was the Queen and the enraged 
King. 
	"This is the last time, Endymion!" The King roared, his voice echoing 
through the hallways. "You are not pulling off another stunt like that 
again!" 
	"What is it now, father?" Endymion asked, walking to the throne. 
	"You know perfectly well. Going off to see that Princess, no doubt." 
	"Serenity isn't like any other Princess, father. She is something 
more." 
	"But Endymion," The Queen protested "Why didn't you tell us that you 
were going?" 
	"Because you would have stopped me." 
	"Exactly! We don't want you seeing that girl any longer! Some other 
Princess could be a more excellent choice for you!" 
	"But father, I don't even love any other Princess! I love her!" 
	"Love isn't the point here, Endymion!" The King yelled, glaring at him 
with blue eyes. "You need to have an heir to the throne!" 
	"Endy, we just want you to be happy." The Queen said. 
	"Then let me marry Serenity." Endymion said evenly. 
	"That's the last we will hear of her. I'm calling for a mistress." 
	"No!" Endymion screamed. "I'm not giving myself to anyone but my wife! 
Why can't you see that I want to marry for love??" 
	The King and Queen where silent. The Queen spoke first, "Lady Beryl is 
leading the Negaverse to attack the Moon." 
	{“First we go talking about love, then it's Beryl? What does she have 
to do with this?”} Endymion furrowed his brow. "Lady Beryl? What does 
she have to do..." 
	"They attacked the Kingdom of the Sun with ease, and they are heading 
for the Moon." 
	"Do Malachite, Nephrite, Jadeite, and Zoicite know about this?" 
	"They should. Beryl brain-washed them. They are fighting for her." 
	Drinein's head darted up. {“They are heading for the Moon? With the 
Princes' strongest Generals?? Adrian...”} 
	Endymion was still puzzled. "What does this have to do with me not 
marrying for love?" 
	The King sighed. "For reasons, still unknown to us, they have stopped 
transmissions going from the Earth to the Moon. You cannot see Serenity 
anymore." 


	
	"And they are heading for the Moon?" Adrian asked over the 
communicator. She and Drinein were contacting each other about the briefings from 
the discussion earlier. 
	"Yes, but Beryl needs to get people from the Earth first. She has been 
attacking the Earth, and has the Prince's Generals!" 
	"The Generals? The Scouts are going to be heart broken! Well, Raye, 
and Lita are, anyway. When are they coming?" 
	"We don't know. But the ball is in six days. Endymion and I will be 
there to try and do something about it." 
	"Ah, yes. The Prince of Earth and my Dare-devil husband are going to 
save a planet." 
	"You bet, babe." Drinein said, smiling. "I'll keep in touch." 



	Adrian turned off the small communicator and put it back in her boot. 
She was in Serenity's room, the Princess telling her to wait in there 
as she talked to her mother. She was sitting on the bed and thought for 
a while, before looking at the small, black blob nuzzling against her 
boots.
	 "What is it with cats and legs?" She asked the feline, watching it as 
it happily looked at her. 
	"It's better then having your fur rubbed the wrong way." Luna said, 
continuing to nuzzle. 
	"I just think you want some attention." 
	Luna looked at her. "And what if I do?" 
	Adrian smiled. "Them I will be glad to give you some. I'm too bored 
waiting for Serenity." She picked up the cat and smiled as in purred in 
her lap. 
	Luna sighed. "I could stay here forever. You really know the right way 
on how to rub fur." 
	Adrian laughed at that. "Oh, do I now?" 
	She sighed again. "You don't drag your fingers when you take another 
stroke." 
	Adrian chuckled. "Whatever makes you happy." 
	The two where both alarmed when they saw the door open and close in an 
instant. Serenity stood with her back to the door, on the verge of 
tears. She looked at Adrian, and she let the tears flow. 
	Adrian stood up, unaware that Luna dropped from her lap to make a thud 
on the floor. "Serenity? What's wrong?" 
	She walked over to the young Princess, and put her hand on her 
shoulder, feeling it shake with fear and sadness. "What is the matter?" 
	Serenity dropped her head, and Adrian lifted her face to see her 
saddened expression. "Don't do that. You are too young to have a double 
chin." 
	Serenity briefly laughed, before embracing her friend, and crying on 
her shoulder. With brief sobs, she was able to say, "I can no longer see 
Endymion." 
	Adrian pretended to be surprised. She knew this sort of thing was 
going to happen, and she hated lying. But this was for her own good. 
"What?" 
	"My Mother told me they cut off all supplies coming from the Earth. 
Including transports. Adrian, what am I going to do? I can't see him.." 
	"Serenity, look at me." Adrian looked at the bloodshot eyes of her 
friend, and lightly brushed away the tears with a gloved hand. "I have 
seen your love for Endymion grow stronger over the years. And I doubt that 
a few little things like 'no communications' is going to stop him from 
loving you. Drinein and I have been married for eight years, and we 
miss each other when we leave, but our love for one another has never been 
stronger." 
	Serenity gave her a look of puzzlement. "You and Drinein are..." 
	Adrian smiled. "Well, I was the last child in my family and I couldn't 
raise myself....you know the story." 
	Serenity paused for a minuet. The woman couldn't be over twenty nine, 
and even if she was, she didn't look a day over twenty. "How old were 
you when you got married?" 
	Adrian paused. "I was seventeen. Your age to be exact. Although, I 
kind of regret it, but I don't, in a way." 
	"What do you mean?" 
	Adrian smiled. "Nothing. Now, tell me what the Queen said." 



	Six days passed by quicker than what Endymion had expected. He was 
sitting on his bed, his hand resting on his head, and he looked at the 
small picture of Serenity he had kept hidden almost all the time. How he 
longed to see her, to feel her, to kiss her... 
	To think that this was his last chance to see Serenity was an 
opportunity he wouldn't miss. Neither would Drinein. He had poured his guts to 
Endymion, telling him and he and Adrian were married, and how much he 
loved her. In truth, Endymion was almost jealous. But that didn't matter 
now. As long as he could get to Serenity.... 



	{“Come on Drinein, what is taking you so long??”} Adrian though, 
standing next to Serenity. They were on the balcony, looking at the Earth 
like they always did, and nothing was going on like it should. Drinein 
and Endymion were ten minuets late, and that wasn't normal. So, she 
decided to do something. 
	"I'm going for a drink. Would you like one?" 
	Serenity shook her head. "No thank you. You go ahead." 
	That wasn't the answer she had expected, but Adrian walked to the 
drinks anyway, humming slightly as she did. And when she had her drinks, 
she walked back to the balcony where they were, she dropped her cups and 
pulled her sword out of its sheath. 
	The Princess was missing.
	 She stalked quietly down the hallways, not wanting to alert the 
guests and Queen that Serenity was missing. She was turning one corner when, 
out of no where, two arms grabbed her and swung her around the corner, 
releasing the sword, and pulling her against a warm, hard body. A hand 
came to her mouth, and she froze at the blond hair in her eyes, and the 
all-too-familiar deep voice. 
	"Good evening, baby." 



	"Do your parents know that you are here, Endy?" Serenity asked on 
their walk to the rose garden. Their hands were laced together, and he 
chuckled a little. "Not really. We snuck out." 
	"We? Drinein is with you?" 
	He gave her a smile. "Why wouldn't he be? He uses any chance he can to 
get to Adrian. You know that." 
	Serenity sighed. "All too well." 
	He plucked a rose out of the gardens and put it in her hair, smiling 
at the effect it left there. She saw his happy face, and struck a pose. 
He smiled at her position, her arms and hands making a V, as her body 
was slightly curved. He laughed a little, and crossed his arms. "Though 
a very ORIGINAL pose, very beautiful nevertheless." 
	Serenity blushed slightly, and went back into his arms. She felt his 
strong arms hold her with such gentleness and care, and yet, at the same 
time, with a wave of protectiveness that she always loved. She also 
loved the smell of him. She was always so sure she could smell him out if 
she needed to. She told him that once, and he laughed slightly. Yet, he 
had realized how much she had truly meant it. To love a person so much 
that you would not miss a thing out of them, including how they 
smelled...that was the kind of love she had wanted. And she knew that was what 
she had. 
	The ballroom music could be heard from the castle, and Endymion looked 
back to where he had found her. He smiled when he saw how happy Adrian 
was to see Drinein again. They were in the middle of a kiss, and he 
looked away, giving them their privacy. 
	"I'm almost jealous of them." Endymion admitted with a sigh "Married 
for so long and their love for each other has never changed." 
	She looked at him with worry. "Do you think we'll be like that?" 
	He smiled. "Nah. That's just because they're Adrian and Drinein. They 
are always like that. We will be much different." 
	Serenity smiled. "Oh, really? How much different?" 
	"So different, we will be known as one of the most romantic couples in 
the universe." 
	She blushed. "I thought that's what we were now." 
	He looked up in thought. "Yeah, I guess you are right." 




	"Let me see," Adrian was saying a while later as they walked down the 
corridors, hand in hand. "You were gone eight days. That's a new 
record." 
	Drinein smiled at his wife, and kissed her hand. "You've been 
counting?" 
	She gave him a quirky grin. "I have to find something to do, don't I?" 
	He laughed. "Besides hearing Serenity talking about how great Endymion 
is?" 
	Adrian rolled her eyes. "Definitely! Yet, I don't mind giving them 
advice. They are a cute couple." 
	"That they are." 
	Drinein turned her around to the balcony, and looked at the Earth, the 
place where he had stayed away from his wife for so long. But being 
with her now, that was the last thing on his mind. As they looked out over 
the balcony, Drinein noticed how beautiful the lake was, shining in 
splendor at the rays the Earth was producing. 
	Rays?
	 He looked back at the Earth again, and noticed dark clouds forming 
over the sky. A menacing chuckle was heard, and the sounds of screaming 
and...horses? 
	"Oh, no..." 
	"We're under attack!! Everyone, prepare for battle!!" 
	Those were the voices that stopped a party from continuing. Two small 
cats ran from their post to alert the castle of an attack from the 
Negaverse. They were making a part in the crowd of people, and the 
attention of the warriors of the Moon Kingdom was turned to them. 
	Luna and Artemis leaped up the railway, and noticed how black the sky 
was, becoming filled with the evil that always surrounded the 
Negaverse. They would need to get the Queen to shelter as soon as possible, and 
the Princess.... 
	Luna and Artemis looked at each other with the same expression in 
their eyes, and the same thoughts in their heads. 
	Where is the Princess? 



	"Get to Serenity as soon as possible. I'll see if I can find 
Endymion!" 
	That was all he said as she ran through the hallways fighting guard 
after guard. Her sword was a crimson red instead of an awesome silver, 
and her face was filled with sweat. 
	But Adrian ran. 
	Her feet hurt as she tripped over her boots countless times to escape 
the sting of a blade, and her mind raced every time her sword became 
more wet. She knew she last saw her down here, but where?? 



	Elsewhere, Serenity ran for her life. 
	Endymion was separated from her, he told her to run, yet she couldn't 
help but wonder if he was okay. 
	So, she looked for him. 
	The screams and hollers of those who where dying filled the air, and 
the black force about the Moon Kingdom was busy dealing with the Sailor 
Scouts, striking at them with full force, and leaving no mercy. She 
would breath a prayer for her friends and hope they would be okay, but her 
heart hoped for more. 
	And if she couldn't find him, she knew she would loose him. 



	Endymion raced through the hallways crying out her name over and over 
again, hoping that she would call in reply. He never got an answer, but 
something told him he was near. 
	So, he ran further. 
	And just when he was about to call her name again, he found her. 
	Her head was jerking back and forth, shaking her hair to ripple down 
her back like a smooth waterfall. If she would only turn around. 
	A gleam in his eye made him turn his head. Darting his eyes at the 
edge of the balcony, he noticed a Negaverse guard standing on the edge 
with a knife in his hand. Endymion froze. 
	Malachite... 
	But his heart reacted first. 
	He grabbed the sword in his hand and ran like he never had before, 
watching Malachite's every move. And when he threw the knife, he threw the 
sword... 
	And lunged to Serenity. 
	


	It all happened so fast, it took her a while to remember everything. 
All she knew was that she was standing there, looking for Endymion, when 
she heard a scream and the wind was knocked out of her. She was on the 
floor, she knew that much. 
	When she opened her eyes, she saw Malachite, or who she thought was 
Malachite, fall off the side of the balcony with a sword sticking out of 
him. She also noticed that somebody was on her, and breathing very 
hard. She turned her head around as the weight was lifted, and was in shock 
when she found Endymion lying on the ground with a dagger in his chest. 
She rushed to his side, instantly cradling his head in her lap, and 
holding back her tears. This couldn't be happening. Not now... 



	"And tell me again why she had to go off alone??" Adrian asked herself 
when she came to another stairwell. If this castle didn't have as many 
stairwells, she would be with Endymion, Serenity, and Drinein, trying 
to get away. But no... the builders had to be protective. They HAD to 
make this castle so darn big. 
	She cut off her thoughts when she saw them. She didn't know what 
happened, but she ran to them, noticing that Endymion's head was on 
Serenity's lap with a knife protruding out of his chest. She stopped a 
distance, behind a pillar, and soon came to silent tears. 
	But her battle mind came into pace when she saw Malachite stand 
himself up on the edge of the balcony, holding a sword in his stomach. Just 
then, she knew what she needed to do. 
	For the future of the Moon Kingdom. 
	She pulled out her sword and started running, throwing the sword at 
him, and lunging in front of the Princess. The rest was a little 
confusing to her. All she knew was she heard a groan, and something sharp in 
her belly. She fell on the ground and opened her eyes slightly, only to 
see Malachite fall from the balcony, never to get up. 
	She closed her eyes and tried to hold her pain. She could scare the 
Princess any more than she had already, but when she looked at Serenity, 
she noticed she hadn't moved. 
	"Thank you..." was all Serenity said. 
	Well, maybe she did notice. 
	Adrian gathered up her strength and walked to her as best as she 
could, making sure her hand covered the fatal wound. She towered over 
Serenity, and noticed one of her hands resting at her sides. She grabbed it 
gently, and brought it to Endymion's. He responded, squeezing the hand 
tightly. 
	"He needs to know you are here." Adrian whispered hoarsely. It was 
then she realized her berth right was showing. A multicolored band around 
her left arm, made it's way to mix with some blood on her hand. 
Serenity looked at her in suprise, just noticing the wound, and looking at her 
friend with worry. 
	{“The sign of the royal family of the Sun!”} "Adrian...majesty.." 
	"Don't worry about me," Adrian said in assurance. "Worry about being 
with him." She gave Serenity a small smile. "I'll be seeing you." 
	She stumbled over to a near pillar, and leaned against it, sliding to 
the floor as she did. She coughed slightly, and looked at Serenity. 
"What?" 
	Serenity tried to hold back the tears of the friends that she had just 
lost. Why for her? She wasn't important. Not that Endymion was dying. 
	"Serenity.." she heard him say. She forced herself to look into his 
face, full of fear, pain, and worry. "I love you....Serenity..." 
	"Shh...don't talk.." 
	"I'm sorry if there ever was a time when I didn't think about you. You 
have done so much for me." He looked at her neck, and noticed the 
necklace he had given her. Fingering it, he whispered, "This is to represent 
my love for you, delicate, but undeniably beautiful and pure. It has 
always been that way, and always will be. I have also noticed it has 
grown stronger over time. Just remember I love you, okay, Serenity?" 
	"I feel the same way Endymion, and I will always remember our love. 
Even until death." 
	He reached out his hand and touched her cheek tenderly, before asking 
her to grant his final death wish. 
	"Serenity...please...kiss me. So even in my death I can remember you 
love me." 
	And so, she kissed him...all the high ruling, power holding, nineteen 
years of him. The horrible thing was that when she parted, she could 
remember his lips going cold, and his hand falling from her face. She 
looked into his pale face, and tried to remember his smile. But the 
thought of holding his corpse didn't help too much. She was soon in tears. 
	"Endymion..." 
	"I love you..." was all she heard him say. 



	And Adrian hardly noticed his death. 
	{“We failed. We couldn't save the Kingdoms from being destroyed. Now 
they both have to live in suffering.”} 
	"Serenity?" 
	Moving her head, Adrian noticed her face was very red from her crying. 
The once beautiful blue eyes were now red and bloodshot. Her face was a 
bright red; so bright you could hardly notice it was her. 
	"I..just wanted you...to know. Remember...Endymion knew you 
were...strong. Prove it...to him." 
	She sniffed before answering softly, "Now that I have lost him, how 
can I be?" 
	Adrian was silent. 
	The sound of far away footsteps made them both turn their heads. It 
was Drinein, trying to see if he could find Adrian. He, like the others, 
had sweat beating down his face, some of his hair completely wet by it. 
But the sight he saw terrified him, and he knew Endymion was dead. To 
tell the truth, we was thinking about how long Adrian had that dagger in 
her chest. So, he ran to her side, dropping the sword falling with a 
loud clank on the floor. 
	Drinein was by her side in a instant, cradling her head against his 
shoulder, holding her and fighting back the tears already in his eyes. 
Adrian made no move as he held her; she was too weak to move. He closed 
his eyes and didn't make a move to brush away at the two tears that had 
started to stream down his face. But they stopped at the source of a 
cold hand brushing them away. 
	"Hey..now what did I tell you...the day...we got married?'' 
	He looked at her and smiled. "Never get drunk on me again?" 
	"Not that. The other thing." 
	"Oh, uh...Show you how tough I really am by not crying when you die?" 
	"Yep...that's it." 
	"I have to break it. To not cry would be hiding my love for you." 
	"And to cry would be showing how big of a baby you are." 
	He chuckled a little. "So what? I have my belief that I'm showing you 
how much I love you, by showing you how much I'm going to miss you." 
	Tears came from her eyes. "I'm going to miss you too. But you need to 
remember something." 
	He looked at her, tears in his eyes. 
	"I always did love you more." 
	He laughed, light shining in his blue eyes now becoming bloodshot. His 
bangs in front of his eyes, he kissed her cheek softly before putting 
his head on hers. He noticed she wasn't responding, and her eyes were 
closed. He soon became very worried, and more tears came through his 
eyes. 
	"Adrian?" 
	She very slowly opened her eyes and looked at him, a small, assuring 
smile on her lips. Her breathing was becoming slower, and her eyes were 
drooping shut for a final time. 
	"Don't..cry, baby...I love...you..." 
	And her eyes shut, and her breathing stopped. 
	And his heart shattered into a million pieces. 



	This was all seen by Queen Serenity. She was standing nearby, almost 
to the vision of Prince Endymion when he saved her daughter. And now, 
with the sight of two people dead, she knew what was going to happen 
next. 
	She saw Drinein take out the dagger from Adrian's chest, staring at 
it. Then whispering something at he thrusted it into his own chest, right 
near the heart. This was horrible. She just hoped that her daughter 
wouldn't do the same thing. 
	But she did. 
	And Serenity knew what she had to do then. 
	She lifted the Silver Crystal in her hand, sounding a cry, and 
watching as the bodies of Endymion, Serenity, Adrian and Drinein were sent 
into balls to the thousand year long trip to Earth. The Queen fell, weak 
from using her strength at the same time to fight off the Negaverse. She 
fell against a pillar, and made her final breath, looking at her 
daughter for the last time. 
	"In the name of the moon, you shall be free." 
	And the greatest Queen the Moon had ever seen, passed away at one of 
the most memorial battles of the century. 
	
	And so, our story begins...
