She stared at sky, the stars were beautiful tonight.She slowly closed her eyes..
"Grandma?"
"Yes darling?"
Wrinkled hands caressed the silky hair of the young girl. Moonlight lit up the girl's brown hair .She had buried her face into the old lady.
"Can you tell me that story? "
"which one? "
"The one with the warrior girl "
"Did you mean the story of the queen of stars? "
"Yeah ! That one"
"very well then"
"...."
"Long long ago, in a far away land, the land of the Immortals, there was a little girl. She was always curious about everything. She spent a lot of time reading stories about faraway lands. By reading a special book she accidentally learned to see into the future .
one day she dreamt about the future when the darkness coming back. The darkness used to be all over the world before the birth of the first star. The star which protects every single life from the darkness. She dreamt that the awful creatures of the darkness would come back.
She was scared of what was about to come. She told this to many but nobody understood what she meant. They dismissed it as ramblings of a child. She was scared but she wasn't going to admit defeat.
She decided to fight on her own. She practiced multiple techniques of the light and even the techniques of dark which no one was able to master for a long time. (The legend has it that no one have mastered the techniques of the dark after her. )
She became powerful. So powerful that she was crowned as the queen of the immortals . Then one day the first star went out with a loud bang the other stars blinking out one by one. The evil and vile creatures of the darkness crept out of the crater were the first star exploded. They started to spread rapidly.
She decided to fight them all alone, after all this was what she had prepared herself for, for years. She fought with two long swords. Her moves elegant like a dance, a deadly dance . Then she fought with her chained daggers which flew around like birds swooping down to its prey. Nothing survived after facing her
But there were too many of them. No matter how many she killed more kept coming. They didn't seem like they feared death either. She realized that no matter how long she fight, she has no hope to win. They were innumerable.
Helpless, she retreated acknowledging her defeat .But she had to stop it some how. That's when a mysterious guy told her that she should go to the crater were the first star went out and rekindle it.
She didn't know how to do it but she was willing to try. She fought her way to the center of the crater. She decided to try her luck and concentrated all her energy and tried to make it into a bright star. She realized that it was sucking in her life.
But she was brave. She let herself explode and in the process turned herself into a star. A star much brighter than the first star. "
"What if the darkness comes again grandma? "
"Then that girl would be reborn and she will save us again just like in the past "
"Are you sure ?"
"Of course.Now go to sleep,sugar plum"
