"I have an announcement to make." I started as I motioned for my female
warriors to come to me.  "I don't know how you people will take this or even
if you will believe me, but here it goes.  I am not entirely who you think I
am.  I am the Princess Serenity of what is known as the Imperial Moon
Kingdom.  I was sent here to Earth to learn of it's people, to make allies,
make friends, and to choose a place for what will be known as the Imperial
Crystal City.  My Mother, Queen Serenity, is here on Earth.  Melissa is my
Earth guardian.  While I am on Earth, it is her duty to watch over me.  The
only reason I am at the Academy, s because of two reasons.  One is because
my mother thinks it will be a good learning experience for me.  the other
reason is because it's the only thing my Mother and Father could agree upon.
These four beautiful girls re my general guardians.  They are my best
friends and they are like sisters to me.  They are each Princesses of
different kingdoms in the Imperial Kingdom." I said as I slightly nudged
Mina.
"I am Mina.  Princess of the Venus Kingdom.  I am first in command after
Serena.  I control the powers of love." Mina said most nobily.
"I am Raye.  Princess of the Mars Kingdom.  I am second in command.  I
control the powers of fire." Raye managed to spill out.
"I am Lita.  Princess of the Jupiter Kingdom.  I am third in command.  I
control the powers of thunder and lightening." Lita said as she stepped
forewards and back again.
"I am Amy.  Princess of the Mercury Kingdom.  I am fourth in command.  I
control the powers of water and ice." Amy said following Lita's lead.
"Together, we were trained to be warriors.  Our mission is to fight for love
and justice against the forces of evil." I said as I finished what I thought
to be one of the longest explanations in the history of the Earth.
"You're obviously serious about that, aren't you?" Iolaus asked.
"Why else would Serena have made a big deal out of it?" Lita asked.
"You mentioned your Father in there, but you never said his name!  Who is
he, or would you rather not say!?" Jason asked.  I suspected him of knowing
something about me and just not saying anything, but I wasn't sure.
"My father, is one of the greatest evils that we must face.  By telling you
all this, I do not wish to be compared to him at all because I am nothing
like him!  My Father is... 

My Father is...the God of War, Ares." I said, hoping they wouldn't freak
out.
"You're the daughter of Ares?" Lilith asked in amazment.
"Yes, I am.  It's something I'm not too proud of, but I am." I replied.

"Ok, so let me get this straight.  You, Serena, are the Princess of an
entire world of separate kingdoms, including your own.  Your Father is Ares,
and your Mother is Queen Serenity.  The rest of you are Princesses of
separate kingdoms in the world that is ruled by Queen Serenity!  Your duty
is to rid the world of all it's evil and through love and justice." Hercules
was somewhat good at recapping things.
"Roughly, yes!" I politely said.
"Why?  Why are you doing this? I mean it's not like you have to live on this
planet for the rest of your life.  It's not like you'll always be around to
protect the Earth or anything!" Hercules made a good point.  I probably
wouldn't always be around to protect the Earth.
"Ares will do anything to get rid of me.  To kill me, because he and every
other God in existance knows that I am one of the more powerful beings in
existance.  Yet, there is a spell on me.  The life I live now was to go like
so: I would arrive on Earth, live like I have been for the past year, so far
so good, the only thing is, by the time I turned 18, I was supposed to wed
my betrothed and together we were to rule his kingdom and protect it.  His
Kingdom is the Earth Kingdom.  Well, that's where things got messed up.  I
probably will not wed him, but I will continue to protect the Earth as I
have promised that I would.  When I die, or rather when we die, our spirits
will continue to be reborn into future selves and will still continue to
protect the Earth and rid it of it's evil!" I said matter-of-factly.
"What do you mean by you being one of the more powerful beings in
existance?" Jason asked as he stepped into view.
"Inside me is the mixed powers and blood of a God and a being so powerful
and strong that she could be a Goddess.  Because they are mixed and have
different properties, I have special abilities.  For example, according to
the words of a seer, I will be killed many times, but I will always come
back again and again until my duties are complete and I've lived like I was
meant to.  I also have the capabilities to kill any God or man with even a
simple thought.  I could be the greatest Heroine this world has ever seen,
of the greatest adversary." I said trying my best to answer his
question.
"SERENA!" a voice called from the trees behind us.  I turned only to see
Melissa running towards us.  "SERENA!!  IT'S AN EMERGENCY!  YOU MUST COME
BACK TO THE COTTAGE QUICKLY CHILD.....QUICKLY!" she turned and ran the other
way back to the cottage.  I ran after her with the entire rest of the group
closely following.  Upon our arrival at the cottage I saw another carrige
there.....it belonged to the Royal family of the Earth Kingdom. I
immediately knew that Darien would be there.  I ran into the cottage still
followed by everyone else.  
"What is it.....what's wrong?" I looked around not knowing what to expect.
Darien turned and looked at me.  Something was deathly wrong.....I could
feel it.
