Jacinth's Story
A young prince is lead in to the throne room in
Shaizzar and before Queen Beryl by his uncle Demando. The child doesn't
move or look around when being presented to her for fear of his uncle's
wrath.
"My Queen, this is Jacinth. He has the potential to be a high
rank in our army.." Demando announces.
"Why do you think that?" Malachite asks from his position near
the queen.
Demando replies "Because of his powers. He has both his fathers
and his mothers powers. He has already proven to be quite strong.."
"For a child..." Jaedite interrupts with a smirk. Demando shoots
him an icy glance and simply says "Yes."
"Saffiru and Prisma are his parents correct?" Neflyte adds.
"Yes. And his powers sofar are Dark Thunder and Ice blasts."
"Big deal.. The other little brat ice blasts too.." Jaedite
says absently rubbing his ass, which draws a glare from Malachite and giggles
from Zoisite.
"Very well... Begin his training when he's ready. You're all
dismissed. Leave." Beryl said to end further discussion
On the way out the child forms an ice puddle infront of Jaedite who
falls when he steps on it much to Zoisite's amusement.
"Woah! SHIT!!" Jaedite screams and looks around and sees blonde
pig tails behind the throne. "grrrr.... Why that little... I'll get her..."
He says softly.
"Oh poor Jaedy fall down go boom?" Zoisite says with a giggle
while Neflyte barely controls a smirk and Malachite glares coldly. "Get
up you fool." He says colder and steps over Jaedite and walks out with
Zoisite right behind.
Dressed in green and gray pince uniform, Jacinth
steps into the training room warily, after seeing a youma nearly flatten
his uncle and Malachite yelling at a pretty blonde girl.. Demando nodded
to the trainers then left leaving him alone. Another Youma turns to the
boy and said "You, Jacinth, lets see what you got. Your uncle Demando says
you've been practicing.. But now you're gonna have to start the REAL
work." Practicing.. Jacinth thinks to himself more
like training.. But instead of revealing that he smirks and brushes
his hair back. "OK sir." He adds and stands relaxed and waits for him to
say begin..
"We'll start off with power blasts" The youma said. Jacinth smiled
darkly and quickly shoots off an ice/dark thunder energy beam right at
the youma, who wasn't even surprised and teleported.
"Huh? Wha..? Did I kill him?" JAcinth asks worriedly.
"Nope, but your uncle warned me of that little trick before."
The voice came from behind followed by a quick kick to the head which sent
him flying across the floor head first most ungracefully
"ouch... um.. That hurt... I don't think you where supposed to
do that..."
"Get up and we'll see what else 'I'm not supposed to do.'"
"Um... No thanks... I think I'll leave now.. Your mommy is calling
me."
"Haha.. Most amusing.. Come on... Lets see what else you can
do." The youma was saying totally unaware of the ice ball forming above
his head until it was to late and it dropped on him knocking him to the
floor.After getting up and dusting himself off Jacinth starts to
head out as Zoisite pokes his head in.
"Has Al.." he began but was interrupted by the youma's cry of
anger as he came to and fired a blast of dark energy at Jacinth. Jacinth
turned at the yelling and sees the blast and instinctively crosses
his arms and tries to make an ice shield in time, unnessicarilly because
when he opened his eyes Zoisite was infront of him with a shield up.
"Uh.. Thanks.. But I coulda handled it.." Jacinth said looking
away.
"I'm sure.. Maybe next time ok?" Zoisite replied.
"Only if you don't wanna help." Jacinth said smartly and walked
up then tripped over something and found himself looking at a rather lovely
pair of legs. His eye followed them up to the blonde girl with the attitude
but what he was thinking was WOW! She's pretty.. I wonder if
I could talk to her sometime... His thoughts where interrupted by his
uncle telling him to greet her the proper way. Jacinth took her hand and
kissed it on her signet ring. Interesting... a gold moon styled like
our crest.. he thought to himself Then his uncle was motioning him
to leave. Not that Jacinth cared.. he was to busy thinking of the princess...
Training was pretty much the same, only Zoisite
must have told the youma's not to lose there tempers with Jacinth cause
as much as he tried and as close as the got, none did again. Demando showed
nointrest in his training and soon stopped checking up on him at all. Instead
he seemed more interested in the 15 year old girl who was beating up people
in training, which was good because then he didn't tell him not to watch
her too. Zoisite came occasionally to watch her train but usually left
after a few minutes with a saddened expression. Jacinth was curios as to
what happened to the pretty young girl and if the 15 year old was her older
sister, even though the looked the same, but surely she couldn't have grown
that fast. Finally he decided to ask Zoisite what happened to her. The
next day he got his chance.
"Excuse me."
"Yes?"
"I was wondering what happened to that girl my age... And where
did her sister come from?"
"That is her.. Unfortunately..." Zoisite sighed.
"How can she be? she's too old to be."
"She was aged."
"Really? Can I be then? She's pretty.. But I don't think she'll
talk to a kid.."
"You're not the only one in your family that likes her unfortunately...
Your uncle does too. That's why she was aged."
"Uncle Demando." Jacinth sighed too. "Why does he have to like
the kids now too?" Jacinth asked depressed.
"What do you mean?" Zoisite asked intrigued.
"He has all kinds of girls falling on him back home. Daddy says
he's a playboy and is gonna find one someday that's gonna be the death
of him." Jacinth said with out any sign that his uncles fate would bother
him.
"Oh? You're uncle gets around huh?"
"Yeah.. And now he likes the only girl here I like..." Jacinth
sighed again. "Just like him."
"You don't like him very much do you?"
"As in do I like him more then I like his rules? No, atleast
the rules make since.. Even though he doesn't follow them either."
Zoisite giggled at the boy and said "How would you like to have
a shot at beating him for Alex and get to be older in the process?"
"I dun know... Will he punish me?" Jacinth asked worriedly.
"No. But it will hurt.. alot." Zoisite added looking
worried for the child.
"Uncle taught me that pain is for the lesser people, not the
royal family."
"Oh? Hmm... OK... I'll see you in a few days.. Don't tell ANYONE
about this ok?" Zoisite warned.
"Ok" Jacinth nodded and said.
"OK. I just need to set everything up. How about next week..
That should give me plenty of time."
"OK. I better go now. Bye Zoisite" Jacinth said and hugged him
innocently. Zoisite smiled as Jacinth left.
Another week of routine training spars and trying
to aggravate the youma trainers while spending his free time thinking about
the princess, and being older. When Zoisite found him at the end of the
week Jacinth was a ball of anxious energy, even though he did his best
to conceal it.
"Are you ready Jacinth?" Zoisite asked.
"Yep." Jacinth said and smiled brightly.
"I think I've managed to find away to dull the pain, but
it's going to make it take longer..." Zoisite was saying.
"Ok. Lets go." Jacinth said and tried to lead Zoisite
even though Zoisite was telling him the directions.
When they reached the aging chamber, Zoisite helped
Jacinth in and before closing the door said "Last chance to change your
mind."
"I'm ok. Really." Jacinth said and flashed a smile
that people said he got from his uncle, along with the silver-blue streaks
in his hair. Zoisite tried to smile back and hide his concern as he closed
the door and the energy surrounded Jacinth.
Jacinth grimaced but didn't yell Instead he
put his mind someplace else, like his father taught him.
After what seemed like hours Jacinth found himself
falling to the floor, naked and his short hair aslong as his uncles but
mostly black, blue and dark green streaked and patches of silver-blue.
The pain of catching himself on his hands and knees shocked him back into
reality. He stood up slowly, he was sore and alittle disorented but other
wise fine. The he realized he was 15 now. He looked around and nervously
and found Zoisite standing up holding a uniform for him.
"....it'll have to do for now." Zoisite was saying handing him
the uniform. Black.. Good. Jacinth thought as he gingerly put it
on his new body. Now He'll noticed this fast.. It'll be a sharp contrast
to his white one. Jacinth said to himself.
"Lets go." He said out loud to Zoisite.
"Go where? You're going to need to rest..." Zoisite was saying
as Jacinth was walking away.
"I'm fine and we're going to find Alexandrite and Demando."
Jacinth turned and said coolly. Then added "We've wasted enough time already.
Who knows what he's already doing to her." Jacinth turned back to the door
and left the room leaving Zoisite wondering if this was a good idea, and
if he was going to be as twisted as Alex had become...

Authors note: Incase noone noticed, Dark Princess and Jacinth's
Story are intertwined. The timeline is the Silver Millennium before the
fall of the Moon Kingdom. We're working on creating our own universe based
off of the Sailor Moon characters. If you want to write a character for
the universe we're making, email us and let us know, but we have to know
what major things you're planing so that we can work them into the story
line. Eventually we want to get stories from both the Dark Kingdom and
the Moon Kingdom.
