Nesirie looked down at the floor glumly. |
"I don’t know. It just seems like something the other queendoms would frown on." Nesirie explained. |
"Don’t worry about them." Starla told her. "It’s not as if Queen Serenity didn’t do the same sort of kinky things when she was young." |
Nesirie looked at her questioningly. |
"But the queen was under a dark spell when she did that." |
"So she says." Starla laughed. |
Starla put her hand on her daughter’s shoulder. |
"I’ll let you in on a little secret. She feels the same way about you. She always has. She has been waiting years for you to confess to her, and I really hope you don’t keep her waiting too much longer." |
Nesirie looked at her mother in surprise. That surprise gave way to a feeling of relief, and she gave her a gentle hug. |
All the while that the two of them had their talk, another individual overheard them from outside the hall. He was going to approach Princess Nesirie regarding a matter in the queendom and had arrived just in time to catch their conversation. |
He hated eavesdropping, but he could not help himself from listening. Once he took in what was being said, he closed his eyes and sighed. |
"Yeah, of course.’ He said to himself with a mental chuckle. "I never stood a chance, and I wouldn’t exactly have been a good match for Nesirie anyway.’ |
A tremendous weight had been lifted from the boy’s chest, and he walked away from the hall. The matter he wanted to speak to the princess about could wait. |
The light of Deep Aqua Mirror began to flash and sparkle once more. The queen and her entourage were returning, and it was said they were bringing back what they had been searching for. |
Standing side by side with her Starla and Sailor Galatea, Nesirie watched the Mirror with anticipation. |
"I can’t believe he’s real." Galatea said. |
Nesirie nodded in agreement with her longtime friend, and Galatea looked at her with another thought springing into her mind. |
"Do you really thing today will be a good day to confess to them, with all of this going on?" The Senshi asked the princess. |
"This joyous occasion seems as best a time as any." Nesirie answered. |
Sailor Galatea, Laurana being her common name, was arguably Nesirie’s closest friend among the Neptunian Senshi. A beauty with blonde hair that flowed nearly to the ground and with light green eyes, Laurana was the midwife who delivered Nesirie, and when she wasn’t acting out her duties as Guardian of Galatea, she was ... |
"And here they come." Starla announced. |
One by one Masela, Naderi, and the Senshi came through the Mirror. The last of the Senshi to emerge was Sailor Nammu, and she brought with a guest of epic proportions. Deep Aqua Mirror was massive in size, standing several hundred feet tall. It was created this size in anticipation of this day. The day they finally fou... |
He slowly emerged from the mirror alongside Nammu. In a way, they all recognized his form, though it was the first time seeing such a creature with flesh on their bones. Standing 121 meters tall, it was a creature of the same species as the famous Echidna skeleton, albeit a male. |
"We’ve finally found him." Laurana proudly stated. "The last of the Ri no Kaio-rui Eigo." |
After much jubilation, Queen Masela took a break and watched and watched Neptune’s swirling blue and white clouds from a castle balcony. She could sense her daughter moving up beside her. |
"So, you’re finally going to talk to me." Masela said with a bemused tone. |
"Mother, I’ve really wanted to say this to you for so long, but I was afraid of how wrong it would be in the eyes of others." Nesirie said. |
"People have been thinking ill of me for a long time already because of how many women I’ve married." Masela assured her. "I won’t worry too much about this." |
"Mother...." Nesirie tried to get out. |
The princess struggled to say the words. The queen decided to make it easy for her. |
"I love you, Nesirie." Masela declared. "And the answer is "yes’". |
Tears of joy swelled in the princess’s eyes as the queen took her hand. A small, but gentle kiss was given to the princess on the lips. |
"Hey, no fair, princess!" a familiar voice shouted. "You weren’t supposed to beat me to the punch!" |
Naderi ran up to them. Further back Starla, Apatty, and Laurana giggled. They had been listening in on the exchange along with Naderi. In a huff, Naderi took both Masela and Nesirie’s hands. |
"Since you two have already said it, I need to say it too- Masela, Nesirie, I’m madly in love with both of you! And I’ll be damned if I don’t join this big harem of yours!" |
"Very well, I accept your proposal, if we would call it that." Masela answered with amusement. |
"Awesome! Now, give some sugar, you two!" Naderi demanded with a grin. |
The three of them laughed as they embraced one another. |
Daytime arose upon Triton Castle. While the sun was far from Neptune, the Planet of Sea radiated with a light all of its own. |
In the queen’s bedchambers, Nesirie watched the two slumbering beauties that lay next to her. She could not believe that it had been an entire Earth year that she had been experiencing this bliss. And soon it would get even better. |
"I can’t wait to tell them.’ She mused as she tapped her lips. |
Her happy daydreaming came to a halt as a loud knock came at the bedroom door. Masela and Naderi woke up startled. |
"Ugh, I’ll get it." Naderi told them, getting up and wrapping a blanket around her naked body. |
She answered the door. Standing there with a look of urgency was Kaiyo, a young knight in princess Nesirie’s service. The urgent expression changed to one of embarrassment at seeing Naderi covered by nothing but a bed sheet. |
"Yeah, I know the view is magnificent." Naderi told him. "Now, what’s going on?" |
"We have a visitor." Kaiyo announced, firmly regaining his composure. "And he didn’t exactly come from familiar territory." |
Masela, Naderi, and Kaiyo rushed to the Deep Aqua Mirror. Kaiyo joined his fellow knights, Bronto Thunder and Ichy, and stood at defense. In solidarity, Naderi stood by her queen and held up the Sword of the Silver Crystal, a gift from Queen Serenity, in a protective stance. |
On the surface, the newcomer did not seem threatening. He appeared to be a man in his late 40s or 50s, obviously from a live-action universe, with blue eyes, dark brown hair, and a stocky frame. A dark outfit that seemed like a trench coat, albeit sewn together in a primitive fashion, adorned his body. |
The three knights approached the man. He looked around at his surroundings and then at them with apparent bewilderment. |
"Who are you and why are you here?" Bron asked him in a tone that was both demanding and suspicious. |
"I....ummm....where am I?" the stranger inquired, still bewildered. |
"You are on Triton Castle of the Neptune Queendom." Ichy answered. "Now, we ask again, who are you and why are you here?" |
"Gabriel." The man finally answered, seeming to snap out of his confusion. "My name is Gabriel." |
The strange man rubbed his temples for a moment before speaking again. |
"My apologies, I am not familiar with this strange place. What is the "Neptune Queendom’"? |
"Neptune is the eighth planet in the Sol System." Kaiyo explained to him. "Do you know it?" |
"Yaksh." The newcomer whispered, his expression gaining sudden optimism. |
The three knights looked at each other questioningly before looking back at the stranger. |
"How did you get here?" Kaiyo interrogated him further. "Only our queen and her Senshi can activate the power of the Mirror." |
"I do not know." The man answered. "This is all very strange to me." |
"Why don’t we give this visitor a room to stay in while we figure things out for him." Queen Masela finally spoke up. |
"My queen, we don’t kno....." Kaiyo tried to say. |
"Neptune should always be a welcoming and hospitable place." Masela told him. "However, I do agree that we should keep an eye on him, at least for awhile. I will leave that task to you, Kaiyo." |
Kaiyo nodded. He quietly gestured to the newcomer to come with him, and the stranger obliged. |
As Kaiyo and the stranger walked away, Naderi noted that she did not like something about the man’s expression. |
Gabriel waited in the small room he was sent to quietly. It was by no means an opulent room for royalty, but it was far more comfortable than any prison cell he would have imagined them throwing him in. |
It seemed like he was sitting in that room alone for an eternity, but he was more than patient. At last, someone came in to see him. He found Naderi and Laurana’s youthful beauty almost mesmerizing, but he kept such thoughts to himself and his expression was blank. |
"Okay, start from the beginning." Laurana demanded from him. "Tell us everything you know about who you are and how you may have gotten here." |
"I.....I think I may have received a blessing from the Gods." He started to explain. "There is a crisis on my Earth. An ancient people are being unjustly exterminated, and I am determined to help them. But the battle I wish to fight seems overwhelming. I prayed to my Gods to give me the means to fight this crusade, and... |
Naderi and Laurana looked at each other, not sure what to make of this. |
"Well, it’s a start." Naderi said. "You’ll have to give us more details eventually, but for now just get some rest." |
Laurana and Naderi left the room. |
"What do you think?" Naderi asked. |
"There was.....something troubling." Laurana said quietly. |
"I didn’t sense any sort of strange aura around him, but something about it was *too* normal. Like, there was a serious effort by him or something else to make him seem normal. I don’t know how to explain it, exactly." |
"We’ll have to have a meeting with the others." Naderi decided. |
"Nothing about this guy smells right, but it’s not gonna be easy to send him back, either." Commented Sailor Thalassa, a live-action beauty with the common name Renee. |
"I’m really concerned about these people he claims are getting wiped out on his Earth." Voiced Sailor Danu, a brown-haired animated woman who carried a giant boomerang on her back. "Assuming he’s even telling the truth about that." |
Masela mulled the situation over quietly. |
"We will need to get more information out of him." The queen finally decided. "If he is telling the truth, we may be able to help these people. I would regret not doing so." |
The others pondered everything in silence. Naderi could not help but feel as if they were all in serious trouble. |
Gabriel remained in solitude. He lie on the bed he was provided with his eyes shut. He was not asleep, yet one would question if the state his mind was in could be called "awake". |
Only those with the deepest spiritual sensitivity could have seen it. A parting from Gabriel’s body. A specter drifted away from the confines of the room. |
Far away from where Gabriel was kept, Princess Nesire remained in a solitude of her own. This was supposed to be a far more joyous day than it had turned out to be. She had such wonderful news to give to her life partners, but it would have to wait. |
She felt a chill. She covered herself deeper into her garments. She did not realize she was being watched. The invisible presence scanned downward towards her stomach. |
"Very good. What I needed is indeed here.’ |
The specter drifted away from the princess and examined the castle further. So many wonders beyond his dreams, he mused. And then he came upon something that gave him pause. |
The monstrous skeleton was gargantuan enough to have come from one of the fabled Old Ones from his Earth. The Guardians of Neptune still kept the Echidna safe in her tomb. |
"How interesting.’ The specter noted. |
The phantom returned to his room and joined with his body once more. Gabriel Lorca opened his eyes once more, and a tiny smirk etched itself on his face. |
Queen Serenity clutched her chest. She felt like a dagger had been run through her heart. |
"How could you, Masela?" she whispered. |
Her eyelids curled in anger, and she stood from her throne. |
"Contact Earth." She demanded to her immediate subordinates. "I need to speak to Endymion and the Shitennou." |
Masela, along with Sailor Galatea and Sailor Thalassa, walked into the visitor’s quarters. He lay back on his bed, his hands joined together and his fingers in an arch. She somehow had the impression that he had been waiting for her. She opened her mouth to speak, but he was already prepared. |
"Trouble comes your way, Masela." |
The three women felt like they had been struck by lightning. |
"How do you know the queen’s name?!" Galatea demanded to know. "We did not give it to you!" |
"We can discuss such details another time." Lorca told them. "Right now, you should know that the Moon Queendom is coming for you all. Seems they find your daughter to be an abomination, dear queen, and they want to kill her." |
"Wh....what nonsense is this?" Masela asked with a mixture of shock and anxiety. "Queen Serenity has always adored Nesirie." |
