Sailor Charon of Pluto

Theophanu Lavastine, the eldest daughter of Lord and Lady Lavastine of Charon, stared out the window, her book laying forgotten in her lap. She watched the snow drift down outside her window, her thoughts wandering.

She was the eldest daughter of a rich and powerful noble family on Charon but in truth, her life was empty. The endless routine of parties, teas, and balls bored her.Those around her were simply attrated by her money and name, simply mindless followers. She glanced at the green silk gown laid out on her bed for the ball tonight at Charon Castle, all she saw was chains.

She brushed a strand of her waist long black hair out of her face, closing her book and set it on a nearby table. Tonight was going to be another night of standing around with the older ladies and the younger children, bored. If she was lucky, she could sit and read in the library by herself, a temporay escape.

That evening she found herself, as she had corrrectly guessed, standing alone. Charon Castle was lively with many guests that crowded the main hall and the large ballroom. When her parent's attention was directed elsewhere, she slipped away, down the long, deserted corridors of the castle. After a while of aimlessly wandering, Theophanu realized she was lost. The corridors all looked the same and for all she knew, she was walking in circles.

"Excuse me? Are you lost?" a woman with long dark green hair and deep brown eyes dressed in a long black velvet dress stood behind her.

"Um..." Theophanu couldn't manage to say anything intelligent at that moment. She expected the woman to take her back to the main hall but she only smiled kindly, holding out her hand.

"I'm Setsuna," she introduced herself. Theophanu could only stare at her. Setsuna....Princess Setsuna, daughter of Lord Chronos, the guardian of time and the prince of Pluto.

"Your highness, pray excuse my tresspass," Theophau bowed low to her.

"Please, don't. Just Setsuna is fine," she said. "But I still don't know who you are", she said as they walked down the corridors.

"Theophanu Lavastine, you-" Theophanu found it hard not to address royality properly, it had been trained into her since early age.

"It's nice to meet you, Theophanu," Setsuna said as they entered a large study. Lord Chronos, the guradian of time, sat on the couch with a young girl with short black hair and violet eyes who read to him. On the other side of the room ,a boyish girl with short blond hair and gray eyes lay on the couch, asleep, a book dangling out of her hand. Theophanu was surprised at the imformality and how close they all were.

"Theophanu, this is Chronos," Setsuna said as they came in. "And Hotaru," at her name, the small girl on Chronos smiled at her. "And sleepyhead over there is Haruka," Setsuna said with a laugh.Theophanu stood, uncertain on what to do.

"Theophanu, come sit," Chronos said, indicating an empty chair.

"Thank you, your lordship," Theophanu sat down carefully.

A girl with aqua green hair and matching eyes dressed in a long, elegant sea-grean gown came in holding a long light peach gown, looking proud of herself. She paused when she saw Theophanu.

"Michiru, this is Theophanu. Theophanu, this is Michiru, " Setsuna introduced them.

"Hi," Michiru smiled at her as she went over to Haruka.

"That reminds me. Setsuna, could you go get Hotaru dressed for this evening," Chronos asked his daughter who nodded and took the girl out of the room while Michiru tried to wake Haruka.

"Hm..go away!" Haruka rolled over but misjudged the size of the couch and flopped right onto the floor, much to Michiru and Chronos's amusement. Even Theophanu found herself laughing. Haruka got up, mustering her remaining dignity as she picked up her book. She froze when she saw the gown Michiru held in her arms. "No, no, not in a millon years-" she started, backing away from Michiru.

"You will. Be ready in thirty minutes," Chronos ordered. "I expect to see you in the main hall at that time," at that Haruka only nodded and let Michiru drag her out. Theophanu was struck how much like a normal family they were despite being royality living in castle with the guradian of time who could be a god in his own right. She sat there, uncomfortable, uncertain what to do or say. "Theophanu, you have heard of the sailor senhsi, have you not?" Chronos said after a moment, much to her relief.

"Yes, only various stories and legands," she admitted. It was well-known that the princesses of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune where the sailor senshi of their respective planets. Pluto didn't have a sailor senshi, neither did any of the other planets yet.

Chronos nodded, looking thoughtful for a moment. A short wand with simple yet beautiful designs appeared in his hand. "I believe that this belongs to you, Sailor Charon," he handed her the wand.

Theophanu stared at it, feeling the weight in her hand. The wand was cold to the touch and despite its size, was somewhat heavy. 'I'm..a sailor senshi?" she asked, certain that she sounded like an idiot.

"Sailor Charon, the satellite senshi of the satellite Charon of Pluto," Chronos said. Theophanu realized that this was her escape, this wand set her free from the birthright of her name. She looked down at the wand as the shackles that tied her to the meaningless existence of Theophanu Lavastine slip away forever.

"Charon satellite power make-up!"

That had been thousands of years ago, Sailor Charon thought to herself as she looked out at the sky. She held her henshin wand, still feeling its weight in her hand. So much had passed in that time. She had trained with Sailors Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto on Charon and later they were joined by other satellite senshi from other planets. Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Venus now had sailor senshi of their own. Queen Serenity's daughter, Princess Serenity, was born around the same time. It was then that her life changed forever. Lord Chronos, who had been as father to her and the other senshi, vanished. Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru had been sent back to their respective planets, as were the satellite senshi. Setsuna sunk into a deep depression that lasted for many years. Even now, she had never really recovered.

The Silver Millennium florished nevertheless, that is, until Beryl came. She, along with the Negaverse, conquered the Moon Kingdom. The Queen was dead, along with Princess Serenity and her beloved Prince Endymion from Earth and the rest of the planetary senshi, expect for Sailor Pluto who had disappeared. Only the satellite senshi were left.

For many years, they alone held the solar system against many enemies. A thousand years later, the senshi, along with Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion, had been reborn again. They defeated Beryl and her armies, along with many other enemies that threatened the solar system. Then the Starlights from Kinmoku appeared, along with a new enemy.

"Sailor Pluto," she greeted the guardian of time politly as she arrived at Charon Castle.She could tell by Sailor Pluto's appearance that there was something seriously wrong. There were dark areas under her eyes and she leaned upon the time staff slightly. Hotaru appeared behind her, eyes wide with curiousity. Sailor Charon smiled at the girl for a moment before turning her attention back to Pluto.

"There is a new enemy who is stronger then anything we have encountered before. The inner senshi and Prince Endymion have already been taken and I know it's only a matter of time before Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and I go, " Pluto told her quietly. It was then she noticed that Pluto gripped the time staff tightly. "I have come to find some information on this enemy. If you could check the library, I'll search the main computer," she said, turning away. She could only watch Pluto walk away hand in hand with Hotaru, frozen in shock for a moment before making her way to the huge library.

She had only gone a few steps when she heard the explosion in the main control room. She paused for a second, then turned to run down the hallway.

Emptiness greeted her when she finally arrived in the control room. Sailor Pluto was gone, along with Hotaru. The computers were blank, a low buzz came from the damaged communication system. There had been an evil force here, a very powerful one. There was nothing she could do.

Sailor Moon arrived, along with Princess Kakyu, the princess of Kinmoku, and the three Starlights. She watched them where they wouldn't notice her. There was no way she could help them. Sailor Moon had cried, seeing the images from the visual recording, seeing Pluto and Hotaru disappear. From what she heard listening to Princess Kakyu and the Starlights, the same had happened to Uranus and Neptune as well. They left, leaving her alone in Charon Castle. She wished she could help Sailor Moon face this Sailor Galaxia, but there was nothing she could have done.

She waited, alone. She knew that Sailor Moon and the senshi were facing the fight of their lives. She wanted to be there, but there was no way she could have helped them. She paced the corridors after fixing the communications system and erasing the visual recording.

She felt them die, disappearing. She felt them return to life and for that she thanked the gods.

Another few thousand years later, Theophnau walked down the corridors of the Crystal Palace of Crystal Tokyo. After Chao's defeat, there had been peace until the Black Moon attacked.

But the city had been rebuilt and Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion ruled in peace. The planetary senshi had taken up their roles as the Queens of their respetive planets, expect for Sailor Pluto who had returned to her post at the Time Gates.

Theophanu tried to fill Pluto's place the best she could. She attended Queen Serenity's meetings along with the Queens of the solar system and tried to govern the people of Pluto and Charon. She never married, it never would have lasted since her life was already filled with trying to be a queen with her duties as a sailor senshi. No, she was content to walk her own path, she reflected as she walking out of the Palace into the fading sunlight.
