	Once every few hundred years, an eclipse of the sun was said to bring either
great devastation or extreme exuberance to the world that it had bestowed its darkness
upon. Of course that was an old folk lore, tossed from one world to another. But its
true origin was none other than Earth itself, or as one may say, not Earth, literally,
but the people residing on Earth. How this old, well-known fable had born; the answer
to that query could be searched throughout the lines of people for over a century in
the past so none had ever bothered. And did not want to bother with new mysteries that
would only lead to disagreement and fighting.
	Which was understandable considering a short while ago, the monarchs of the
planets declared this era of peace the Silver Millennium. Even though accord had been
around for more than you and I could count, this century happened to be the time that
the rulers settled to take notice. But even though no militaristic actions and plots of
attack were stirring on other planets, each civilization was on high alert of any
misplaced armed forces from other kingdoms. 
	By now, you should understand that the word 'peace' that solely describes the
relationship between the worlds is exclusively an exaggeration and wishful thinking on
the monarch's part. All lands never cease to build up forces for the military in case a
planet decides to take action and assault another and they force scientists to burn the
midnight oil, to strive for new warmongering technology. So how one can call this
moment of tension peace is my question. A cease-fire would be considerable. 
	It seems as if every planet was nothing but a sphere of oceans and land with the
inhabitants so arrogant and disdainful, they looked down on immigrants from other
worlds and labeled them as 'rooks' and 'dirt-eaters'. It seems as if none had made an
effort to keep this peace last long. With the exception of the Lunarius Kingdom. A
majority call is the Moon Kingdom for the word, 'Lunarius' presumably is difficult to
pronouce in place of the peasants' harsh tongue. 
	To maintain lasting serenity, the great monarch of this Moon Kingdom, in which
case was a woman, declared that an alliance be formed and those who wish to grace their
signature do so. 
	Now, this was not an easy thing to do. First of all, not many were impressed by
the sudden declaration. Because the kingdom rotated around a much bigger kingdom called
Earth, the Moon Kingdom was considered a primitive. A close to a nothing. Just a rock.
Another issue at hand was that this monarch was a woman! You must know that back in
history, a woman was considered second class. Even one of royal blood could never live
up to be an equivalent of a man. So an idea so extreme from the mouth of a woman; It
was laughable. But even through the sneers and the gossip of a crazy and mental woman
on the throne of the Moon Kingdom, this brave Queen was defiant of all the chatter and
stood up to her very words. 
	This brave demeanor must have impressed and gained the respect of other monarchs,
for all of the kingdoms signed, with the exception of the Earth, Saturn, and Pluto.
(With Earthlings considered ultraists and not invited to be a part of the peace links;
Pluto a planet of waste polluted with swamps and clouded with mists so opaque that none
could see their hand, even if it was directly in front of their face, and Saturn; a
ghost planet that was rumored to aver a messiah that represented the end of all life,
so none chose to bother with the lost planet, were chosen not to sign, for there was no
gain for the Moon Kingdom nor peace that the Queen had hoped to obtain.) And by the
Moon Queen, she insisted that each planet give a child of royal blood to train into a
guardian and warrior status for her kingdom to ensure this peace treaty.
	Other monarchs were nevertheless shocked by this declaration. For no person, much
less a woman, had the right to demand that sort of recompense from other empires in
order to keep a peace agreement that they themselves had signed. Though many sputtered
in outrage and the cancellation of the treaty seemed to be within an inch of being
void, in the end, the words that flown from the monarch's mouths were nothing more than
empty threats as they each sent off their Princesses to the Moon, for Princes were of
greater value. 
	Obtaining each of the six planetary Princesses and accommodating each one warmly
and with great respect, the Queen appointed each one to their roles that they must
serve. Two of the strongest girls were assigned to protect the Moon Kingdom in general.
The other four were to be the alternates if the defense wore down from the first two
girls. Of course, as you may know, that these young girls were much more than mere
soldiers. They were to be guardians, soon, of a much greater purpose. That greater
purpose I shall not reveal but you may as well know now of what, or should I say, who
it is.
