"Your Majesty!"
Queen Serenity, weakened from her use of the Ginzuishou, fell back onto her throne, one of the few fixtures still standing in the ruined Moon Palace. She now knew that death would come for her soon, as her body could not handle the amount of power used to seal the Dark Kingdom forces away and to send her court into the future to be reborn. With this in mind, she gathered as much strenth as she could in order to give out her final instructions. "Luna, Artemis... the Dark Kingdom is defeated... for now."
"For now?" went Luna.
"The crystal's power wasn't enough to eliminate them... only to weaken and banish... which is why you must listen... to my final commands."

"Ikuko-chan, are you alright?"
"I... I just had a disturbing nightmare, Kenji," she answered, unsure if she should burden her husband with what she saw. It wasn't exactly normal for a woman her age to dream of a fairy-tale nature, much less one that ended with death and violence. She dreamt of being a queen of a kingdom on a moon, who saw her royal ball turn from delight to disaster. She dreamt of using a magical crystal to defeat the enemy, but not before her court had been killed by inhumane beasts under the order of someone named Beryl.
