A young-looking woman was standing by herself in a hallway with marble flooring and walls of pure white. Inscriptions of celestial objects decked the walls, an organ could be heard in the background.

The woman's large, soft-looking angel wings flapped to the beat of the music, her deep, dark blue eyes glistening from tears forming around them

It showed a warrior decked in white and gray armor, marching into battle with her army and carrying a large, white flag. Her headpiece showed her rank among the army, she was the leader. She stared back at the woman with intensity and anger in her eyes.

"How I miss my prime..." The woman told herself, looking away from the portrait, "how I miss the glory days of The White Paladins... heh, truly were we an unstoppable force... But how the universe has changed, how has sin plagued the Light... I feel as if it were my fault the events occurred."

She walked down the hall, running her finger down the inscriptions of celestial objects on the walls. She stared up at the ceiling, seeing a chandelier of gold held up by the grasp of an angel. 

"Light has fallen and darkness grows... such despair is prevalent throughout life... I have failed my duties as Goddess and daughter of Mother dearest... Now I look upon my planet founded in chaos and pain, brought to a blessed future... but now all is dark once more. The blessed Rebirth... how long must I wait, how much time must I waste just sitting here?"

She ran her left hand through her long, soft, white hair, looking down at the marble flooring. She saw her reflection.

"Luna... what has happened to you?" The woman asked herself, "why have you fallen to such sin? Why has the darkness and destruction filled your heart? I see my planet as just another failure... another sinful breeding ground for the sick and dishonest."

Luna shook her head and entered a throne room, looking up at a statue of a massive woman, pointing ahead towards the sky, her other hand holding an orb meant to represent a planet.

"Mother... how much I have failed you..." Luna fell on her knees, shaking her head. "Look at you, so beautiful... so powerful... but now, you are gone... and it's my fault!" She looked up at the statue. "HOW I MISS YOU, MY QUEEN! Gah, the pain..."
