Wisdom and Healing - Sailor Mercury's Story

Prologue

This is an idea that I've been sitting on for quite a while since I tend to go through phases of being into Sailor Moon Crystal and having it Inspire me. I Intend to do a whole series–a book for each of the Inner Guardians and then some–but it's gonna be slow-going since this is just the first book. I've no idea how long each one'll be–I guess till I feel I'm at a good stopping point and have the possibility of carrying over into the next book or leaving it as a standalone.

        By the way, since I'm American, I'm using the given names of the characters as per the original anime from the 1990s. It's just easier for me than trying to remember how to spell the Japanese versions, although I'm using their Japanese surnames–and even Creating some new ones for some characters.

        All credit for the original storyline goesta Naoko Takeuchi, the author of the manga Pretty Soldier/Guardian Sailor Moon. Some details from that manga and the anime remake based on it'll be used, but hopefully not very many since I'm not focusing on the King and Queen of Crystal Tokyo. It's still a pretty cool read for anyone interested in closing those gaps, so go have fun with that between updates from me!

During the Age known as Silver Millennium, Peace and Love ruled the Galaxy known as the Milky Way, as well as the Solar System in which humanity resides. Ruled by the beautiful and Serene Queen Serenity, one never had to worry about a thing, for she was as fair and just as she was peaceful and protective. In fact, those who resided on the Planet Earth oft mistakenly thought she was the Goddess Selene, and if they knew the difference, they still equated her with that particular Goddess for a few different reasons.

        But after the rise of Queens Beryl and Metallia, all that Changed when the ever-peaceful Moon Queen was forced into a choice she never wanted to make. Using the Power of the Silver Crystal, she managed to seal away the evil threatening Silver Millennium–but at the cost of her own Life. Fearing for her teenage daughter, Serena, she'd to make the choice between essentially giving the Galaxy a redo or letting it End.

        With the Moon Princess Resurrected from stealing her own Life and sent forth to the Future with her ever-loyal Galactic Guardians, Queen Serenity was able to die in relative Peace. However, there wouldn't be a Time of equal Peace anywhere till Serena gained her majority and ascended to her rightful Throne at last. That wouldn't happen till her Reincarnation Awakened as Sailor Moon and moved through all her various forms, which allowed her to finally evolve into the being known as Neo-Queen Serenity. At the age of twenty-two, she finally married her Centuries-old lover and took her Throne, thus Creating the Queendom of Crystal Tokyo–which quickly gained its heir in Princess Small Lady Serenity.

        On the sidelines of the King's and Queen's Happiness, though, stood the eight women and four men forever sworn to protect them at all costs. Everybody knew that the other Galactic Guardians'd give their very Lives for their King and Queen–they'd done so on a number of different occasions already. But beyond knowing that and a few key personality traits, one didn't know much about this group of twelve stuck on the Royal fringes. Things'd been eluded to in the original story of King Darien and Neo-Queen Serenity, but they'd never really been elaborated on.

        Now that the Galaxy's settled down into a Time of Peace the likes of which no being's ever known, it's Time those loyal and faithful folks've their stories told. Starting with the first rock from the Sun and its Guardian, we dive into what was eluded to between Amy Mizuno, Sailor and Princess Mercury, and the Knight of Purity and Healing.
