Long ago, in a time forgotten by mortal minds, the story began...
People cursed me wherever I went, people spurned the sight of me. "A witch!" they would say, "A plague," they would say, "Get away before she brings you bad fortune!"
I waited, I bided my time. Soon, they will tremble beneath me. Of course, out of the goodness of my heart, I would forgive them when they all cowered at my feet whispering praises and appologies. I would become their queen and lead them to greatness.
It was that year of suffering when it happened. I have awaited that year when the sun acted irregularly and from one of the sunspots burst forth my master. In the form of a meteor shower, the God of Darkness came to earth and was reborn, revived.
I have been waiting for this my whole life. With this kind of power, no one could stop me, I could have the world.
The shadow whispered promises of unimaginable power and I agreed. In turn, without knowing, I sold my soul.
But what is done is done, I have no time to waste on regrets. With this power, I'll lead Earth to great glory, but first, I had to stop the thing and the ones who stood in my way.
I had to destroy the ones of the moon and possess the "Silver Crystal".
Those holier than thou inhabitants of that acursed planet impeeded the progress of my beloved Earth. The acursed princess of that damned planet also had in her grasps my beloved Prince Endymion.
Oh how I cursed that wretch who stole away my beloved prince and blinded him to the needs of his own planet. I vowed that with my own hands, I would bring her down.
I led the people against the moon, powered by my dark master. They could not stop us, we were invincible.
Up ahead, I spotted the Moon Princess. Grabbing up my sword, I swung to stab her through the heart.
To my horror, Prince Endymion ran in front of her. I could not check the swing and murdered him instead.
I stood dazed, looking at the hands that comitted the foul deed. What have I done? What have I become?
That was just enough time for that golden haired senshi of Venus to slay me where I stood. Perhaps she did me a favor, and put me out of my misery...
Perhaps when I was reborn, that was my second chance. To make up for my mistakes, to right what I had done wrong. But alas, fate would not give me peace...
I pursued my dream as an archaeologist. While excavating in the arctic circle, I discovered the legacy of legends. I stumbled upon the dark kingdom and its dark lord once more.
This was my destiny, perhaps, and again I unleashed the evil. This was my second chance to realize the dream. I cannot fail a second time!
Oh, my beloved prince, here you are before me once more. You lie there on the altar, without even a breath in your lungs.
Oh, my Prince Endymion, don't you know? I was the one who gave you life again with the power of my dark master. For that short moment in enternity, you were mine to hold...
And now...
The lights are dimming and I reach out to you one last time. That senshi of Venus had slew me once more. Why o cruel fate did you bring me here once more? I am only a lonely woman, desiring for a little love in the world. Surley it could not be wrong to want a little of what there seems to be an abundance of. Why must I be alone when all the rest is happy?
O prince, my beloved Prince Endymion... Long ago, I've always admired you from afar. Even though you did not see me, I still loved you so... So it seems that whenever I'm by your side, I am only allowed to love you from a distance... Oh cruel fate grant me one last wish, in my next life, let me not see his face ever again. It would be the best for all, I think...
Good bye, my beloved prince... I was happy for that short time in infinity when you were mine... But truly Endymion, I loved you with all my heart...
