I do not remember much of what this galaxy was like when I was young. I age far differently than everyone else, staring into a void with naught but a cold darkness for companionship. Time passes outside my ornate gates at a different relative speed. I have seen the birth of planets, the birth of life. Too much to see, very little I can recall.

I do remember being appointed to my position by Queen Serenity, many millennia ago. She gave off a gentle light, much like the moon she came to rule at the time. Imagine my joy when Princess Serenity joined us! Then, my pang of sorrow, for I must not be known by anyone but the Queen.

I am to guard the gates of time and space. I am one of the closest guardians to the moon, yet am the most distant. It bothered me at first, but I have grown content to watch the beloved princess and her court from afar. Each has their own strengths, their own weaknesses. Together, their bond is seemingly unbreakable.

However...as I live outside of time, I know what has happened in their world, and what will happen. It is one in the same to me. It is with a heavy heart that I watch the playful princess visit the Earth prince. Their love is their demise, and only now have the senshi begun to feel this.

I know the war will happen...but oddly enough, I cannot see further in that timeline. There is my true concern...I have not ever before been unable to see a place in time or space. I have never gotten goose bumps before, despite the constant chill in the air, but this anomaly has me on edge.

I strain to look into the darkness for a hint of what is to come, but to no avail.

Just...mist. Darkness.

The Unknown.

I have my assigned duties. I will not waver, no matter the pain I see outside of my world.

No matter the suffering beyond the Unknown, no matter the heart-wrenching screams, I will stand my ground at the gates.

As Sailor Pluto, I have no choice.
