Author's Notes: Well I wrote this awhile ago and finally got my lazy ass to start typing it up on my computer. This is the only fanfic I've actually written by hand, but the idea came to me during one boring class last year. Well I hope you guys like it. Oh and for those of you who don't know this is written in Setsuna's point of view.

Disclaimer: We all know I don't own Sailor Moon so why bother with this?

As I sit here writing on this page, with a steaming cup of tea besides me, I cannot help but ask myself. What the hell am I doing? I truly do not know how you convinced me to do this Damien. Though I thought that your proposal was admirable, I did not think I would actually consent to it. This black book bound by crimson red just seems to draw me closer, coaxing me to tell my secrets, my story. Did you put a spell on it or something? What I am about to write is a tale that people only know bits and pieces of. When thinking about my whole life and thinking about the others within them, they know so little about me. Those that knew a great part of my life are long dead. Thinking about them makes my heart constrict in pain. Even though there are parts of my life that I have long since sealed in the dark recesses of my heart and memory I will try to retell it.

I guess the best place to start would be way back in my past. Before I was yet born in this time, to my heritage. There was a time of a different guardian and before my existence, before the Silver Millennium was but a far away dream. Before the Silver Millennium there was a time known as the Great Wars. It was a war that has yet to be equaled to what the humans and senshi have fought, and I hope beyond all others that it will stay that way.

During this time, the planets of our Solar System were in a state of unrest. There were constant conflicts between all of them. To make things worst, our system was also fighting a war against the inhabitants of Andromeda. They were a mighty race. They had great technological, advances that clearly surpassed our own at the time. Our two systems had never gotten along well with each other. The andromidans had an acute dislike of magic, magic, which our system had. Frankly from what I have been told, I believe they were jealous of our power. Even our lowest class would have beaten one of their soldiers if their soldier were not technologically equipped. This jealousy, fear, and hatred fuelled the battles for decades. Through the years, both sides lost many of their own kind. During this time Serenity, Usagi's mother was born. As she grew up, she saw the slaughter going on in her system. With her grace, charm, whit, strong will, and help from the Silver Imperial Crystal, she was able to unite our Solar System. That was a crucial step toward what was later known as the Silver Millennium.

Queen Serenity was really a woman to be admired. With superior diplomacy, she was able to create an alliance with those from Andromeda. It took years though, for the peace to really settle upon us all. Throughout the years, many ambassadors from Andromeda came to the court to address the queen. My mother used to always regale me with the tails of the different ambassadors that came to the court.

My mother, Princess Celest, was the youngest daughter of the King of Pluto. Her older twin sister, my Aunt Kayla, was the guardian of the gates of time. Both were good friends with the Queen and my mother often visited her. My mother had to meet many of the visitors from Andromeda. It was on one such visit from the ambassadors to the court that my mom said she had first met my father, Prince Augusta. My father always told me how he was drawn to my mother the moment he set eyes on her. He said that it probably had to do with her mysterious beauty, especially her amethyst eyes. Mother told me once that she did not like my father when she first met him. She found his red eyes quite unsettling and his vague and cryptic messages confusing.

Celest found his pursuit of her simply annoying. Whenever my father came to visit, she tried her best to avoid him. He seemed to have a knack of finding her though. Even when she had put an illusion spell on herself so that she looked like a servant, he still found her. After many months of relentless pursuit, my mother finally came to love him. Before long, the two were married. Due to my mother's duties as queen of Pluto, she was not able to leave for such far distances as Andromeda. My father had his own obligations to his kingdom. Because of this, for four months out of the year he was absent form Charon Castle. It was two years later after their marriage that on October 29 I was born. I inherited my green hair from my mother and my ruby eyes from my father. There were certain times though that my eyes would appear violet.

Ever since I was able to walk, I was taught etiquette. I was told what my responsibilities were as the heir to the throne. It was not until later when my mother discovered that my visions were true that she soon had me trained as a senshi. Although my mother thought of my gift as a wonderful blessing, it also created the hell known as my childhood.

Growing up was not very pleasant for me. My multiple and inopportune visions made me an outcast among the other children. They taunted me and called me a multitude of names. Children can be so cruel sometimes. What made my situation worst was that I felt that I could not confide this to my parents. I mean how could they possibly believe that the angels they knew at court would be so cruel to their little girl. I knew they loved me but they were also ruling monarchs after all. Taking care of two different kingdoms that were so far away from each other was hard. They hardly had time for even themselves.

For most of my childhood, my days consisted of constant training. Each day I would wake up and only had that to look forward to. The only release I had from all of the pain. My life was like that for many years, friendless. That was of course before I met them…
