Once upon a time there was a princess. She wasn’t a princess as you normally think of one. Her parents weren’t kings and queens, she didn’t live in a country that had royalty and there wasn’t a prince that one day found her and made her his princess.
Instead, she was not there one day and then the next instant she filled the sky and changed the world for so many people by suddenly coming into being.
She is a Star and her name is Etoile. A young silvery star that filled the darkened sky, one day upon a dreams whim.
Stars are interesting creatures, they are born in an instant rush of breath and thought. They touch people that they will never ever encounter in all the moments in the land of the time before time.
Stars have great responsibility and from the moment of their existence they start learning and have advisors who are there to help guide them with the handling of the responsibilities and burdens they have to bear.
As they come into being, a guardian/protector is also born at the same time and their lives will forever be twined. As one lives, the other is destined to live also. As one dies, the other also ceases to exist.
Etoile was born with a guardian dragon entwined around her heart and through her soul. As she breathed, her dragon breathed. As her laughter and light burst into the night sky the dragon’s blue-white flame also burst into the night. As consciousness came into being a whisper in her mind said a single solitary word, a name… Cyn.
And the land they lived on/in started to form. For even though existence may have only been a couple of minutes, the heart and sould of the start and the protector dragon had been formed in the time before time long before this moment.
Around the land formed a crystal castle with walls that were clear enough to see deep into the soul before, with a blink it reflected the patterns of the moving clouds ever changing, one second indescribable and the next showing fantastic creatures that can only be found in dreams. At night, the walls were blacker than the blackest sky. But, if you dared to look you could see reflected the multitudes of the universes from the unlimited world of time.
Around the castle grew fantastical gardens, deep woods and oceans that reflected the depths of the universes dreams.
This is the land which Princess Etoile created and this became her world in the land of time. Sometimes she would wander off into the time before time, but this is her world, her universe that she chooses to live in the Now.
The world that Etoile created was filled with knowledge and beauty. But, it was lonely. Living on a star let’s you see everything and many people are touched by you. But, it is ever so lonely. No one to share adventures with, no one to share thoughts or jokes or laughter.
Cyn didn’t count, he was bound to her soul. They faced the world as one. The advisors were always talking and telling and advising, nothing new and exciting there. And the dreamers and wishers all wanted something from her. There was always a cost.
