And as for our noble Prince Proteus, I wonder how his future turns out after his friends are away...so in order to get this out of my system, I finally decided to write a fan-made sequel and continue to experiment it, hope you enjoy :)

Prologue - The Prince and the Moon Priestess
Everyone knows the legendary story of the black-hearted Pirate, Sinbad and how he tried to steal the Book of Peace from the noble Prince Proteus, who was his childhood best friend.
Eris, the Goddess of Discord saw this as an opportunity to create her own glorious chaos by taking the Book of Peace and destroying all the twelve cities in Syracuse. She manipulated Sinbad, who was accused of stealing the Book and sent off to Tartarus to retrieve it. If he failed, Proteus would pay with his life. Marina, who was betrothed to Proteus, joined Sinbad on his journey to make sure of his success. Eris summoned her Monsters to pursue them, still they made it to Tartarus and Sinbad was faced with a test. Would he go back to die if he did not have the book? Sinbad claimed that he would, Eris did not believe him and swore, being bound for all eternity if she did not keep her promise, that she would return the Book of Peace if he did return to Syracuse. Sinbad passed the test of honesty and as he arrived in Syracuse Eris had no choice but to keep her promise. So, the Book of Peace was returned to its rightful place and Eris vanished to produce chaos elsewhere.
Sinbad became a hero and the twelve cities were saved. He returned to the sea along with Marina, who felt she was where she belonged and together they sailed with the crew of into the sunset on their next adventure.
The end? Of course not. For there is no end as long as they have wind in their sails and a beat in their hearts. Besides, there is still a question, or two, to be answered: What became of Prince Proteus? How was his life after letting his first love go to sail out into the unknown with his best friend?
Syracuse once again had peace and life was plentiful. One day, news reached the twelve cities that a young maiden from the Moon Temple in the far east who possessed magical healing powers was kidnapped by a group of infamous bandits from the north who sold their catch as slaves to the rich.
This caught Proteus' attention and so he set out to sea to rescue her. After a few days he noticed some activity on an island and went to investigate. At nightfall he sneaked into the camp and saw the maiden trapped inside a sturdy metal cage. She noticed Proteus and spoke to him introducing herself as Helene, a Moon Priestess who worshiped the Goddess of the Moon and told him that the Moon Temple had been destroyed. Together, using their wits and courage, they successfully defeated the bandits and left the island. Helene having lost her home, had nowhere to live, so Proteus asked if she would like to live in Syracuse and she agreed without hesitation.
Once Helene was settled she decided to no longer be a priestess but to work as a healer using her powers and knowledge of medicine to care for and cure the sick and injured people of Syracuse.
Proteus noticed a change in the people, a positive vibe and happiness throughout the twelve cities.
They adored Helene for her kindness and compassion, she was hard working and always had a smile on her face that would immediately comfort anyone's heart and soul.
Proteus was very thankful and could not help himself but want to get to know her more and so he visited her as often as possible, taking her to beautiful locations in the twelve cities and reciting the history and culture of Syracuse. The more time they spent together, the stronger their feelings grew and they fell in love. Everything seemed perfect, just them and their love. Then the day came where the King retired and Proteus took the crown.
Proteus took his chance and finally proposed to Helene. The first time in history, the royal wedding was a joyful one that the new King and Queen of Syracuse are married out of true love. Then a year later, Syracuse was blessed by the Gods with a beautiful baby Princess, born under the moonlight where the stars above sparkled like white diamonds in the night sky. The King and the Queen decided to name their newborn daughter that would remind them of the moon – Luna.
Year after year the little Princess did grow up healthy and graceful, she had her father's features and intelligence and her mother's enthusiastic spirit and cheerful smile. The people of Syracuse loved the Princess who brought laughter and joy into their lives.
Just when everyone thought happiness could last forever, a single night of misfortune fell upon Syracuse and changed everything.
Thousands of titanic flying monsters suddenly appeared from the sky to threaten to destroy the capital city of Syracuse. When all hope seemed lost, Queen Helene used a mysterious necklace that generated a protective barrier around the center of the city. Ignoring the cries of her daughter and husband, the Queen bravely walked in front of the monsters and used the magic which made her entire body starting to glow, she merged with the power and the bright light eliminated all the monsters instantly.
Once the people could open their eyes again to see what happened, the monsters were all gone like they never existed in the first place. There were no cheers of victory because soon they realized, the Queen was nowhere to be seen, only a rock necklace with a silver moon symbol was found on the ground where the Queen had stand.
Syracuse was safe but with a great cost of losing their beloved Queen…
Three years has passed since the catastrophe, without the Queen, Proteus tried his best to stay strong for the sake of his daughter and his country, as a father and a King. Like many people said, time did heal some wounds. The now six years old Luna was still that lively and happy Princess they all knew and loved. Strangle, Luna strongly believed her mother was alive somewhere, but no one dared to tell a motherless child the cruel truth, not even Proteus wanted to destroy his daughter's childish hope, he just couldn't do it.
Then one day, an unexpected guest returned to Syracuse with someone who was really special. And in that exact moment, a new beginning of a legend has been born.
A/N: The prologue seems more like a storytelling version, but this is just in order to tell you how it all started and to understand the past. In the next chapter will be the true starting point of the entire story.
