Epilogue: Rebirth


June 30th – 14 years ago 

A hospital somewhere in Tokyo, Juuban ward 

7:51 P.M.


	The man waited outside his wife’s hospital room. His wife was resting. She 
had been in labor for a long time. By the time she had finally given birth to a 
beautiful baby girl, she was exhausted and needed rest.

 	He wanted to see his first child. He had come up with several female 
names when he and his wife learned that their child was female, but he was still 
unsure about what to name her. Maybe the perfect name would come to him 
when he saw her.

	The nurse opened the door and turned to address the man. “Tsukino-san, 
you can see your wife and child now. Please be very quiet. The baby is asleep 
and your wife still needs rest.”

	“Yes, thank you,” the man said hastily, and quickly squeezed past the 
nurse and hurried to his wife’s side.

	She was glowing with joy at the new addition to their family. She beckoned 
him closer. As the man watched his new daughter sleeping peacefully, he was 
struck with sudden inspiration. “Let’s name her Usagi,” he said, as he continued 
to admire his daughter.

	“That’s a beautiful name, dear,” his wife said approvingly. “A beautiful 
name, perfect for our dear, sweet Tsukino Usagi.” 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Present day –

	Luna suddenly awoke from her ages long catnap. She crawled out of her 
stasis chamber and stretched. She found herself in one of the many alleys of 
downtown Tokyo. Looking around, she saw no sign of Artemis. She hoped that 
there was a reason why they were separated. She had a huge task ahead of her 
and she could certainly use his help.

	She knew why she had been awakened. She was needed to search out 
the Moon Princess and her protectors, the Sailor Scouts. Unfortunately, she had 
no clue as to their identities. She sighed to herself and exited the alley. She had 
a lot of searching to do. She could feel the energies of the Dark Kingdom 
beginning to stir....


The End of the Moon Kingdom series






Afterword - October 23, 2003

	There you have it. An eight chapter - a prologue and an epilogue, too - 
history of my longest story EVER. Spanning five series and 88 chapters(including 
the ‘Lost Chapters’) to date, this Herculean task was - and still is - fun for me 
to plan and write. It better be, considering that I have a grand total thirty-four 
series plotted out for this story.

	Yes, thirty-four.

	34.

	Three-four.

	Try not to look so shocked, please. I know how long that many series may take - 
hell, four series took me four years - so, if you're following this story, it's gonna 
be a long ride. But, I certainly hope not to disappoint. I think I've done all right 
for myself so far. To paraphrase Kino Ryoku: “The future is not truly written until 
the present is past.”

	We’ll see what the future holds.
