Chapter 6

     "A long time ago, before our births, Queen Serenity was the powerful ruler of the Solar System. She was also called the Goddess of Night, the wielder of the Silver Imperium Crystal, also one of the few strongest senshi left.

     The Sailor Wars had ended with Galaxia's sacrifice. But with that, most of her existence became unknown. Then other smaller pieces of Chaos entered other powerful beings in the galaxy. Yet the majority of them did not attack anyone. Until the appearance of the Vortex, a black hole which would appear every 5 million year opening a portal to another dark dimension. Two shadows had escaped out of their imprisonment and began to collect the remnants of Chaos. They formed a formidable army and began a silent destruction of the surviving senshis.

     Queen Serenity was baffled at the disappearance of her comrades. While meditating in her throne room, a mysterious senshi by the name Myrona appeared. She approached Queen Serenity with an offer to defeat the two shadows in return for a certain child. No one knew what passed next. Finally, the royal court was shocked to hear of their Queen's decision. The child was sought out and handed to the Myrona. The parents objected but could not argue for Myrona was their only hope of salvation. Myrona vanished in a bright light. A year later, Princess Serenity was born." Setsuna cleared her throat. "Strangely though, all who knew of Myrona's price seem to have forgotten all about it, except Queen Serenity. When she told me the story, I inquired about the two shadows and the apparent forgetfulness of the people. Queen Serenity shook her head. The two shadows and their army had vanished after Myrona's disappearance. Another senshi by the name of Gaia had created a mind swipe, thus erasing this incident from all except Queen Serenity's mind. I was satisfied with her reply and did not inquire anymore."

     "Who is Gaia?" asked Usagi curiously.

     "Oh, I must have left that out. She was reputed to be the loyal guardian of Myrona. She too vanished after the mind swipe." Setsuna leaned back and a silence descended on the group.

     "That's all?"

     "That's all." replied Setsuna firmly.

     "Then why did you call them sorceresses in the first place?"

     "That's the same question I asked Queen Serenity." mused Setsuna "apparently that's how they described themselves, as the sorceresses."

     "Soo...what else is new?"

     No one answered Makoto's question.
