A New Destiny - Chapter One Disclaimer: See Prologue "Who is her daughter?" Yaten asked. The Senshi from Earth looked at each other and didn't say anything. Amara looked at the the Three Light. "I am." "WHAT?!!!?" the Starlights yelled while Kakyuu-hime just looked surprised. "You and your people settled on my home planet of Uranus. My mother, the Queen, isn't very happy that you didn't ask her permission first," Amara said calmly. "One of us has to marry YOU?!" Yaten yelled incrediously. "I'm not happy about it either," Amara said, her green eyes flashing. "But I am willing to do whatever is necessary to protect my planet, my kingdom and YOUR people. Are you?" Seiya, Yaten, Taiki and Kakyuu-hime looked at each other at Amara's question, not saying a word. "You have an hour to decide who it will be," Amara said and left the room, Michelle, Trista and Darien watching. ~*~ Amara walked towards her once beautiful castle. "Wake up Uranus. Wake up Castle Miranda. I'm home," she whispered. At once, a golden glow enveloped the castle and spread out across the planet, returning all the buildings to their former, gloriously grand state and the planet to a lush, green, blue and gold paradise. "Welcome home Daughter," a ghostly voice said as Amara stepped inside the gleaming palace hall. Amara curtsied. "Mother," she said to the beautiful, transparent woman before her. "It has been so long since I last saw you. You have grown up to be a beautiful young woman. Have you visited your father's home yet?" the Queen asked. "No. Not yet. The time has not yet come when visiting the Sun is allowed. Or safe," Amara said. The Queen nodded. "The time is drawing nearer when your cousin Serenity and Prince Endymion will marry," she said with a smile. "I wish I could be there to see it." "You'll at least be able to see my wedding though. Unwanted as it is," Amara said somewhat bitterly. The Queen tilted her head, almost as if she were listening to someone. "They have chosen your betrothed from the Silver Millenium to be your husband," she said. She gave Amara a soft smile. "He always was a handsome and dashing young man with his wild black hair and lively blue eyes. Much wilder than his older brother Endymion." Amara's eyes widened. "They chose Seiya-no-baka?!" she gasped. Then the rest of her mother's words sunk in. "I was betrothed to Endymion's younger brother, who happens to be reborn as Seiya Kou? He was a woman until a year ago!" she yelled in disbelief. The Queen looked at her daughter. "I can't believe that you don't remember. You two were so much in love. Enve though you didn't get along at all at first," she said. "In fact, you hated each other." 'Must be a family trait,' Amara thought sarcastically, her eyes wide as she looked at her mother. 'That also describes the relationship I have right now with Seiya-no-baka. We absolutely hate each other. But I don't think that will change this time around. He's still in love with Serena,' she thought. She cleared her throat when she saw her mother looking at her strangely. "I want to set Kakyuu-hime as Regent here," she said. "Why?" "I have to stay on Earth to protect Serenity. Once she and Endymion are married and the building of Crystal Tokyo has begun, I will return to claim my place on the throne. But until then, Kakyuu-hime will rule in my place," Amara explained. The Queen nodded. "A wise choice. She seems to be a fairly competent ruler from what I have observed," she said. She and Amara spoke for a few moments longer when she noticed movement behind her daughter. "Prince Endymion. Princess Michelle. Princess Trista. It is good to see you again. And Prince Seiya. Prince Yaten. Prince Taiki. Kakyuu-hime. Welcome. I am Queen Augusta, former ruler and Guardian Spirit of this planet and mother to Princess Amara," she said, nodding her head regally. She looked at Kakyuu-hime. "My daughter has appointed you as Regent to rule in her place. I will ensure you do a good job." Kakyuu-hime was bewildered, but she curtsied respectfully to Queen Augusta, then to Amara. "I will do my best," she said. Amara nodded in reply, looking at Seiya thoughtfully. Seiya returned Amara's stare, his thoughts racing. He had heard everything the Queen and Amara had said, having followed Amara, and was still reeling from all that had been revealed. "The wedding will be in two weeks," Queen Augusta said. "It will give you time to prepare for your life together on Earth as husband and wife." "I hope it will be a marriage in name only," Yaten said. Queen Augusta smiled. "It will be a complete marriage. Amara will need a daughter to inherit the throne after her. And that means children." Amara and Seiya both swallowed nervously and looked at each other. They hadn't even gotten used to the idea that they were going to be married to each other and now there was talk of children? 'What have I gotten myself into?' they each wondered. ***************************************************** AN: I came up with the idea for this story after noticing for the millionth time how much Darien and Seiya look alike. So I thought, why not make them brothers in a past life? And since Amara and Seiya are my favorite Sailor Moon couple, the two of them just HAD to be betrothed in Seiya and Amara's past lives. Let me know what you think. And please remember that this is just a fanfic and not at all real, so flames aren't needed.
