Chapter 1; Goodbyes

The throne room was filled with darkness. If some guard entered it, searching for the queen, he would report to his superior that she wasn't there, that the throne room was empty. But he would be wrong.

The Queen Selene Channary Jannali Blackburn, over the past five years of her rule, has adopted this bizarre secret habit of hers; to sit alone in her throne admiring the stunt view of Earth that she had from there.

That was exactly what she was doing right now, when she was supposed to be preparing for her trip in Earth. She didn't feel guilty about it, she never did. She was always punctuate to her responsibilities and never let down anyone.

It could be said that she was a good and fair queen after all, she thought relieved.

She couldn't say that she didn't feel a sense of sadness filling her now when the time to leave her home planet had finally come. But at the same time over the past five years she had never stopped thinking of Earth and secretly hoping that soon she would be able to return to it, the planet that felt as her really home, although she wasn't born in it.

In a few hours, she would be to her home.

Besides her responsibilities here had ended. There was nothing else she could do about this planet; Not only did she fixed the relationship between the governments of Luna and Earth, but between the citizens too. The last couple of years the traveling and immigration of Lunars and Earthens to Earth and Luna respectively had become very popular and something completely ordinary. And with the release in the earthern market of the device that made Eartherns immune to the Lunar gift, there wasn't any problem between the citizens of both planets. Plus, she had managed to bring justice and equalitarian between the Lunars and wiped out every social injustice.

Last but not least, she had managed to fulfill her biggest goal. She had managed to change the governmental system of Lunar from monarchy to democracy. It required tons of hard efforts to persuade the people that this change was for their own good and that it wouldn't cause the elimination of their gift. Of course she had to make some concessions from her side. The constitutionalism of Lunar now was constitutional monarchy. Now the elected president, who now was Winter, with her also elected advisory council had the legal power to govern Lunar always according to the will of her citizens. The queen now had just a minor role; she was just a decorative element with no legal authority to interfere to the decisions of the elected government.

Exactly what she wanted.

But Queen Selene for the good of her own people had let a small window in the concordat; The Queen has the right to regain her right to govern when she adjudges that the elected government has become dictatorial. About this knew her and only her and the lone reason she did it, it was to prevent a repetition of the past events. Only herself could trust not to abuse the governmental power and none else, since being a queen was never her deepest dream and would never be.

Twelve o' clock, her cyber brain's control panel informed her.

Fifteen minutes before her departure, she thought.

It was time she and Iko left.

S he looked for a last time the throne room's balcony, the last place where Kai had genuinely express his love for her.

The place in which lots of false promises had being given. Both on her side and his.

And with that though Cinder closed the door of the dark room where her once own throne was.
