May 2004:

    Well, due to the nature of Death, one of the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, this Sailor Saturn: The Silence of Death is the darkest chapter I ever had worked on. So to give you some head-ups, there will be some quite dark (and bit of horror) parts in this chapter (especially toward the end of this chapter) and some of you may get shocked at certain scenes (that's why it's "Rated PG-13"). So better get yourself prepared.

    Here's some information for those who are not familiar with Sailor Moon Stars series.
        -Nehelenia heard a voice, and she was given powers over the mirrors. That's how she freed herself, and captured Mamoru which nearly erased Chibiusa's existence.
        -Setsuna took baby Hotaru from her father (Professor Tomoe) so Hotaru can be taken care of by Michiru and Haruka. Michiru & Haruka acted like Hotaru's parents, hence, Hotaru called them "Haruka-Papa"and "Michiru-Mama".
        Because of Nehelenia, Hotaru grew up quickly in order to help Usagi attain her Eternal Power Level and confronting Nehelenia.
        -Remember that the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse takes place after the defeat of Nehelenia and before the arrivals of Sailor Galaxia and her henchmen.
        -Anyone not familiar with basic history of the western civilizations may not understand some references in this chapter, so please feel free to ask me if there're something you don't understand. ^_^

I would like to express my thanks to:
    Meagan Sanders for editing and double-checking the grammar as well as her advice on handling sensitive Christian matters.
   Anyone who helped by spotting the typos.
  I'm running out of editors/reviewers.. I could use few more. ^_^;;

-Old pictures of World War II and Holocaust used in this chapter were obtained from the Library of Congress Archives in Washington DC thru their website.

-Chibiusa still haven't caught all of those little Kappa, so watch yourself (and keep the bananas in a very secure place too).
