In the age of the Silver Millennium, where the Moon Kingdom's serene beauty contrasts with the vibrant Earth, Princess Serenity dreams of exploring beyond her celestial home. But the bonds of love and duty weave a complex web around her and her guar...

Princess Serenity was yet again dodging her lessons. But who could blame her? Lessons were boring. Who really needed to know Lunar History and Mythology? That's what Luna was for. Celestial Navigation was nearly as dull, followed closely by the Cultural Studies of Earth. Talk about a major yawn. It was way more fun to explore the hidden rooms of the Moon Palace or flirt with the castle guards.
But right now, all she wanted to do was watch Prince Endymion practice swordplay. The prince of Earth always looked so handsome in his regal attire, swinging around a sword. Now THAT was entertainment. So here she was, in her favorite place, the Celestial Observation Chamber, watching him. She'd even convinced Cook to give her a tray of savory buns and delicate moon cakes just for the occasion.
She bit down into a delicate looking tart. "Yum, moonberry, my favorite." As she enjoyed her treat, she took in the beauty of the Celestial Observation Chamber around her. The architecture of the moon never became mundane.
The chamber was a masterpiece of ethereal architecture, bathed in the soft, silvery glow of perpetual moonlight. The walls were crafted from pristine white marble, inlaid with intricate patterns of mother-of-pearl that shimmered like a thousand tiny stars.
At the center of the chamber lay the giant well-type portal, a marvel of ancient magic and lunar technology. The portal's surface rippled like liquid silver, reflecting the serene light of the moon. Surrounding the portal was a circular platform made of translucent crystal, its edges adorned with delicate carvings of celestial beings and lunar flowers, their details so fine they seemed to come to life under the gentle illumination.
Above the portal, a grand dome stretched high into the sky, its inner surface painted with a mesmerizing mural of the cosmos. Constellations twinkled with enchanted light, and shooting stars occasionally streaked across the painted sky, adding a dynamic, ever-changing beauty to the room. Moonbeams cascaded from a central aperture in the dome, bathing the portal in a concentrated shaft of pure, radiant light.
As Serenity leaned further over the portal, the moonbeams intensified, reacting to her presence. The silvery surface of the portal shimmered and shifted, revealing a clear, magical view of Earth. During the night, the portal's power was at its peak, allowing her to see every detail with crystal clarity. Cities sparkled like gems scattered across a dark canvas, and the moonlit landscapes of Earth appeared almost dreamlike in their beauty. In contrast, during the day, the images lacked that radiant charm, appearing more matte and muted, their vibrancy dimmed by the harsh light of the sun. Shadows stretched longer, and unseen areas were more prevalent as the moonbeams weren't as powerful.
As she enjoyed her treat, a few crumbs tumbled onto the surface. They caught in the moonbeams and started the descent to Earth. "Oops," she laughed. Someone was about to get smeared with moonberry.
