Here's my shot at a Sailor Moon fic that I promised my friend. Although after three chapters I'm putting on the breaks and moving to the next fan fic just like usual. This new story in no exception to my new rule.
MY RULE TO KNOW:
All fan fics will get a 2-3 chapter update and then I got to the next fic. The process will repeat until all stories receive their update and I start over in any order I deem fit.
OC: Alcina - a Greek name that means "strong minded"
and Endymion is a greek name to :) so, i stuck to the trend.
Her reborn name is Riku (land) or Chi (earth) and if you comment in time, help me choose one, or I'm just going with Riku.
her last name Hisakawa ("market place by the river")
I will also be using the original names given from the manga (or as close to possible as I can get)

Minako Aino- Sailor Venus
Mamoru Chiba- Tuxedo Mask
Usagi Tsukino- Sailor Moon
Rei Hino- Sailor Mars

Prologue
End of the World
Outside the marble white palace was a strained sort of peace. The kind that made all the adults weary of the slightest drop of a flower, the smallest shuffle of feet. Parents hid their kids inside the shining town, doors closed shut and locked, windows covered in drapes. A once beautiful and vibrant city was made dim and dark by the worry and gloom hanging over it like heavy rain clouds. Once busy shuffling streets were quiet, the over bearing silence broken by the occasional person who had places to go during this time of uncertainty.
Heavy rumors of war and rebellion had swarmed it's way through the kingdom and all felt it's mighty hand ready to drop. All but those who could afford the time to be oblivious. Such as a young little girl who had just turned eight, the young princess of Earth. She had her own priorities to take care of.
"Wait!" A little girl with coal black hair and caramel sun kissed skin ran down the open hall ways desperate to catch her older brother.
Her long black hair had fallen out of it's beautiful bun that the maids had put it in that morning and instead flew behind her. A simple but elegant white dress swirled around her legs, stained at the knees with grass from the garden and her bare feet slapped into the ground. Around her waist was a sword belt that belonged to her older brother, it was tied down tight and a large heavy sword clucked against her side. Running as fast as she could she kept her chocolate brown eyes open wide for the sight of her brother and his guards.
"Wait Endymion!" She waved her hands running out from the halls and down the stairs to a wide open garden and pond.
On the other side of the large pond which stretched through out the garden a few yards long was Prince Endymion and his royal guards waiting near the base of a tall spire that pointed up towards the full moon. They were waiting for the clearance to go to the Moon Kingdom. She ran faster, her young face filled with determination.
"Endymion!" She huffed up to them and stopped before them bent over with her hands on her knees to catch her breath. She managed to keep her eyes on her older brother.
He was dressed in his royal blue cloths, dark black cape flying down his back, the red peaking out as the winds lifted it up, attached to his cloths with silver shoulder protectors. A metal waist guard and black belt around that to hold his own sword. Not one like she had, hers was meant for training, but Endymion's sword was crafted just for him.
The prince scratched his black hair in confusion before chuckling. "Alcina," He said kindly, bending down to her level as she straightened out and placed a warm brotherly hand on her shoulder. "You know you can't come with me. Times are hard right now, everyone is weary, we can't afford a pleasure trip. This may seem like one but it is a political revenue."
"But I have to!" She declared, crossing her arms over her chest. Her lips pouted out and trembled.
Endymion sighed and turned to his royal guards. "Will you give us a few seconds please?"
The bowed respectfully to their prince and princess. "Sir, not to long, the moon will be high soon and that is the best time to go." Jadeite, a blond, blue eyed officer said politely before walking off to the side to join this men.
"You can't go!" Alcina huffed again. "If you do, you must take me with you!"
Endymion bent down so he could be level with his sister. He knew how stubborn she could be. "You must stay here, I will be fine."
"You just don't want me messing up a dance with the Moon Princess Serenity." She glared at his shoes, unable to keep the unhidden jealousy from her voice.
The statement caught him by surprise for a second before her laughed a little. "Alcina!" He scolded her playful a kind twinkle in his dark brown eyes. "No one will take my little sisters place, that is for you alone."
Suddenly he seemed distraught and the panic in his voice made Alcina look up. "You won't tell anyone will you!"
"No!" She yelled out waving her hands to ease his worries. He grinned satisfied.
"Thank you, it's a big secret to keep. I hope I can trust you."
"You can." She started to cry a little and a stray hand reached down to grab the sword clutching the hilt tightly. "But you still can't go! They can't protect you."
The prince let out a sigh and looked to the sky, the moon would soon be at high point. He had hoped to fend off her worries and need to go so that she may stay home.
"Alcina, did you have those nightmares again?"
Lately the young girl had been having horrible nightmares that woke her in the night screaming and crying and clinging to her brother. He knew that in each nightmare she saw his death.
"Yes." She whispered quietly. "Please, Endymion, don't go. I can protect you better down here." Alcina knew she wasn't all that strong yet and it be her brother protecting her more than she him, but she was desperate for him to stay or for her to go with him.
"I know, but I must. And they are only nightmares sent by demons to scare you. Take no heed in them."
"P-please!" She sobbed.
"I promise I'll come back." He tilted her head up and wiped away the tears with his thumb. "There's no way I could ever leave you forever."
That simple promised eased her fears and she embraced him into a big hug. "You swear you'll come back? You'll come back to me?"
"Always." He whispered and kissed her forehead gently. "Now, little lady, for you." He reached behind him and like a magic trick that she could never tire of he pulled out a lovely red rose and handed to her.
Alcina blushed happily and accepted the flower. "I believe you'll come back."
"Sir, it's time." Nephrite called to him.
"Bye Alcina!"
"Bye Endymion! Don't forget your promise!"
He stood back with his guards and in a bright white flash the men had disappeared. She held the rose to her chest as if she were holding his promise. Alcina had forgotten one of the rules their father had told them, always trust your gut. Her's said something bad was going to happen, her dreams screamed a painful death for her strong brother. But when he made a promise to her, he rarely didn't follow through with it. She would trust his word.
Sometimes though, fate has a way of breaking even the strongest of promises.

More NEED TO KNOW: IMPORTANT READ:
To give you guys an age grasp...
Before end of world:
Alcina: 8 Usagi: 14 Mamoru: 16
Present history time they will have already gone though what the manga (or anime if you haven't read) have gone through, so about a year after that.
Alcina: 12 Usagi: 18 Mamoru: 20
Chibimoon: 13
Outer scouts: Saturn: 13 Neptune: 21 Uranus: 21 Pluto: 23
Okay, those ages are harder than you think to come up with, Sailor Moon is one of the most confusing time periods I've ever seen, especial considers translation, where you're from, anime or manga, basic transition of time and jumping back and forth, the reincarnation, a girl from the future... most all of this is guess work. lol. But pretty close, so... XD
The rest is history, as they say. lol.
Do you like the princess? :)
Please read and review.
