^_^ Sailor November, back again! But before you read the first paragraph of the story and leave, keep this in consideration. This is not another ordinary Prince and Princess fanfiction. This is rated PG-13, for it refers to sex and things not intended for young children. This fanfiction is for the love of romance, and I do not intend it to contain any action or violence. More notes on the bottom. Read on! 'The Art of Love' An Usagi and Mamoru FanFiction By: Sailor November As I recall, my first visit to Earth began as an amazing and exciting experience. I was only eighteen at the time, but my joy was that of a child. I had packed my suit cases a week in advance, and researched every aspect of the culture I could. I belive part of my joy was because my father loved the legends of Earth. When I was a child, he would tell me of ancient legends spanning back to the origins of the universe. He was talented in story telling, I remember the passion in his words as he spoke of the brave heros and Heroins. He would dramaticly act out dashing sword fights, bravely killing imaginary magical dragons and beasts with a slash of his imaginary golden sword. My Mother, Queen Serenity, would anger with his bed time stories, for they never put me to sleep! Since my father's death, It had become my dream to actually set foot on this planet. My intentions on this planet were innocent. I had no idea my visit would lead me to my ultimate destiny, and where I am today. My mother and I were visiting Earth on a diplomatic mission, and to become further aquainted with the Royal family. A long time ago she had told me they had two sons not far from my age. But it was no matter to me, I was even more excited about the Earthly Art. Let me explain about my fascination with art. Artistic talent has ran in the Moon Kingdom Royal Family for generation after generation. But, this talent seems to have stopped after my mother. She has done wonderful sculptures that are proudly displayed in the Moon Palace gardens, but when it was my turn to create a masterpiece, a scribbled mess of clashing colors shocked mother and her court. When I discovered that I lacked the talent, I figured I could make it up to my mother by becoming interested in Art, and studying it. It was first just an attempt to please her, but as I became more involved, I became intrigued. To be able to express your emotions and inner thoughts through colors, shapes, and styles fascinated me to no end. The moment we had arrived at the Earth Royal Palace, My mother ran and embraced a woman who looked to be the Queen of Earth. My mother had told me they were best friends in childhood, they hadn't seen eachother in many years. I was introduced to the King of Earth, a jovial and handsome man, and their son, the heir to the throne, Prince Ethaniel. He must have been only two years older than me. His intense eyes were like his fathers, and his ebony black hair matched his dark features. He was handsom, but didn't seem interested in meeting my mother and I. At the time, I could have sworn they had two sons. When I asked if they had another son, my mother quickly changed the subject. A lot later, I found out more information on this missing prince. If my visit had occured a year earlier, I would have met two Princes instead of one. Prince Ethaniel hadn't always been the heir to the throne. His elder brother Prince Endymion was in fact the heir, but was not content with it. Prince Endymion had been raised as every prince was, with wealth, power, and women. But he was desperatly seeking something diffrent, something better. His heart was never with the Royalty. As he turned twenty-one, fights between him and his father grew intense and violent. One day, it went all too far. Prince Endymion left, with no intent to return. ***Explain how prince Joined the Art Theives*** As I walked down the unfamiliar hall, I closed my eyes contently and inhaled the sweet aroma floating among the Earth Palace. It was my first visit, yet it felt like home. The floors were a glassy marble, with twists and smears of black and ivory clustered together. The high ceiling was of the same marble, but it was hard to tell with the sunlight blinding my sight. This warm light came from windows directly below the curved ceiling, which were stretched all the way down the spatious hall. Mounted on the wall were numerous paintings I had seen before in text books. Vases were scattered among the paintings, overflowing with vibrant flowers of all kinds. The Earth palace seemed to glow with hospitality. MORE TO COME....... MIX AOL PLOT WITH TORN PLOT NEW NEO NEW NEO PLOT! Princess Serenity explains her fascination with art.
