| She is the matriarch of the family, born of royal blood. Her past is a silent mystery. Perhaps sometime long ago she had a love, and perhaps some tragedy forever altered her life, but whatever happened, she buried the past deep in her heart and gave all her love and devotion to her daughter. With strength and wisdom she raised her daughter to follow in her footsteps, to rule this peaceful kingdom that was hers. Did she watch her young daughter in love and see in that child herself, young and happy? No one knew, that night of the masquerade ball. Rumors had flown to the Moon, but no one could have known the evil queen was as powerful as she was, and certainly not Queen Serenity, or she might have been able to defend her kingdom. It took just one swift attack to lay a long-standing kingdom to waste. The queen stood in the ruins of her palace and watched her daughter and her lover meet their deaths. This, more than anything, tore apart her heart, and through her tears she made a resolve - "I won't let it end this way." She knew the only way was to trade her daughter's life for her own. Small and beautiful, Queen Serenity nevertheless harbored great power. It would take all of her strength to accomplish this final task. To preserve these souls, to them a new life, and snatch the final victory away from the Dark Kingdom, she sealed them all in the mystical gem and cried, because her beloved daughter would never remember her. With her strength and her love she sent them to Earth, to a future where they could find peace and happiness, to be reborn with no memory of the tragedy that had occured here, and she sent the two guardians to watch over them. And with her kingdom, she died. But a pure soul can never truly die, and from the Moon, she watches over her children, lending strength when they need it, and proud that her legacy will always live on. |
