Okay peeps, here's Chapter 1!! Author Dissclaimer: These are not accurate facts and not to change Sailor Moon in any way. Crystal Labrynth of Sorrow ------------------------------ "Come on, Serena! We'll be late!" Raye was hurrinh the Moon Princess along the corridors of the Moon Castle. They were heading towards the throne room to meet with the other princess' of the inner planets and Queen Serenity, Serena's mother. When they reached the throne room, Mina, Lita, and Amy were waiting at one side of the room. Raye quickly walked in thier direction while Serena joined her mother. "Your late!" Mina hissed at Raye. "Well sooorrry!" Raye whispered back sarcastically," but her highness decided to change her appearance AGAIN!" "Don't blame it on Serena, Raye." Amy whispered, " You know that this is a big day for her. She'll be meeting someone of great importance." "Yeah," giggled Lita, "her boyfriend!" The other princess' shushed her. Luna and Artemis, the Queen's advisors, arrived and announced that Prince Darien and his party would arrive any second. Suddenly the room shimmered and five figures took shape. In the center stood Prince Darien. His generals, Malachite, Zoicite, Nephlite, and Jedite parted and let the prince through to the throne. Darien swept a bow to the Queen and the princess. Serena blushed. "Your magesty. Thank you for your invitation to the up coming ball. We were delighted to come." "You bet we were." Zoicite whispered as he smiled and eyed the Princess Mercury. Amy blushed. "Thank you, Prince Darien, for coming." Serenity responded. Then smiled " I'm sure my daughter is pleased as well." Serena blushed harder. "She will show you to your quarters. Generals, my royal guards will show you yours." All four girls blushed. "Thank you, my Queen." Darien put out his arm and Serena took it and led him out of the room. The Generals followed suit and soon Serenity was alone with her advisors. "Well Luna. Artemis. Tonight shall be a special night indeed." -------------Somewhere, on a Dark Moon----------------- "So, even then, they were a match!" spoke a dark voice, as he was watching his glass, "Well, I won't have it! She will be mine!" Dark forces seemed to crackle around him and he laughed loudly. "If I can't have her now, I shall take her from the past!" He laughed even louder as the purple energy danced over the glass. -----------------Royal Moon Garden--------------------- "I am so glad you came, Darien." Serena said, as they walked arm in arm through the flowers. "As am I, my ptincess. You mean so much to me. I can't see my life without you. So..." He led her to a marble bench under a cherry blossom tree and set her down. Serena gasped as Darien kneeled in front of her and took out the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. It was a silver cat with its back arked forward and its feet reaching for each other. It had a gold moon on its forehead and two emerald eyes. "My princess, wilt thou be mine?" Darien held out the ring. Serena could have cried. "Yes, my love." Darien smiled and put the ring on her finger and was about to kiss her when the garden suddenly went dark and a strong, cold wind blew up. A very cold feeling went through them both. --------------------In the Castle---------------------- "I sence a great evil." Raye said, shivering. Jedite agreed he did too. "Let's check the garden!" The other princess' and Generals met them at the end of the terrance near the garden with the Queen on the balconey above. "What's happening?!" Amy yelled over the roar of the wind. Flowers and dirt were being tossed at them. "Where's the princess?!" yelled Mina as Malachite started to call for Prince Darien. "Luna, something is terribly wrong! Find the princess!" Serenity yelled. "There!" yelled Lita, "At the far end of the garden!" They could see Serena and Darien clutching each other against the wind. "Darien, what is happening?!" Serena yelled. "I wish I knew!" "It was such a lovely day just a...AHHH!" Suddenly, Serena felt herself being pulled away from Darien into the air. "Darien, help me!" Darien struggled to hold onto Serena, as she was lifted into the air. Suddenly, he was struck by a purple energy along with Serena. Darien was thrown to the ground as Serena was thrown in the air, crackling with energy. She screamed in pain and then went limp. She began to shimmer. "Serena!" Darien yelled as the light glowed brighter around her. With an explosion of energy, she was gone. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" ------------------------------------------------------- So, are you guys interested? Makes ya kinda wonder what'll happen next, don't it?
