[Well when you're close, personal friends with the Goddess of Time and Death, and you've spent months being intimate with the Goddess of Love it's a little different. It isn't a big deal to be the Goddess of War. It's not nearly as impressive to her, anyway. But then, perspective isn't something Rei's always had in spades.]
I know. [She is grateful that he does sit, her back sagging a bit, some tension leaving her thin frame. It'd be years before she really felt over what'd happened back then, but...honestly? These little steps help.]
People here are all just a little bit extraordinary, if you ask me. Even the people who don't seem like it. [Hiro, for instance.] But my story...our story...is unusual even for Cerealia I think.
[She grips her knees, leaning back and turning her eyes towards the stars.]
In a past life, some...probably hundred thousand years ago...Earth wasn't the only planet with life on it. There was life on every planet in our solar system save for the tenth. [Yes, there are 10] It was a time we called the Silver Millennium, though it lasted for several thousand years. The planets were unified under the Moon Kingdom and it's queen, Serenity. All save Earth, which kept to itself. Humanity lacked the magic we had, and as such humans lived and died much as they do now. We others were immortal, though, thanks to the powers we possessed. Everyone in those kingdoms lived longer though, not just the rulers and royals.
I was from the planet Mars, the princess of the martian royal family, and given my powers and titles there. But I was also in service to the Queen. I was charged to protect the princess of the Moon, to fight and defend her with the princesses of Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter at my side. The other planetary princesses, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto had a different role, largely unrelated to ours. We were the royal guard, and...as you might guess...things were happy for many long years. Until they weren't, and a perfect storm hit us.
