MsTiara’s Thoughts

As Etoille and Cyn wander through the wood sharing their stories and dreams for the day, they hear shrieks and giggle up ahead and off the path… As they pick up their speed they can hear childish voices raised in terror, “No! No! Don’t catch us.”

We looked at each other in fear and ran up ahead to see if we could save the voices we heard. As we rounded the bend and saw the open clearing, a dark black dragon filled our vision, swooping low and deep towards the ground. Up ahead of him were 5 baby bunnies, running in terror away from him as the dragon came in even lower and grabbed them each with his claws.

As I gathered my magic to blast the dragon with a freeze spell, Cyn yells in my head. “NO! If you do that, he will fall to the ground and squash them. We need to think of something else. I will distract him and you put a float spell on the bunnies.”

As I gather my energy once again, this time to make them as light as the cloud, the dragon swirls around the clearing, skimming over the trees and the shrieks of the bunnies can be heard throughout the woods. I start the words forming in my head when the dragon swoops low once again towards the clearing and gently lets each bunny drop daintily upon the ground.

All of a sudden the giggles of the bunnies were filling the clearing and as they ran in joy away from the dragon, you could hear their voices float back upon the wind… “Again! Again! Catch us again. We want to fly into the clouds this time and cool off.”

The dragon lazily did a loop da loop through the sky and shot a look towards Cyn and me. His voice echoed in my head, “come play with us.” I looked longingly at the bunnies playing in the tall grass, working out their strategy with glee and I wanted to run and play with them.

“I want to, but I am too big to play with the bunnies.” I whispered back through the path he left in my head to talk to him.

“Then I will just have to make you into a kitten.” As the words whispered through my head I felt myself change until I was low to the ground. As I linked with Cyn to see myself through his eyes, I saw a cream colored kitten with Aqua colored eyes and a star in the middle of her forehead.

I felt a joy rush through me. Tired of having to be the perfect princess, always making the right choices and decisions, always speaking with perfect clarity so that everyone around me would trust me all of a sudden I knew what it would be like to just be small and give up and play for a day.

As I looked up at Cyn he smiled slowly at me, “It is okay to play for awhile as long as you remember it is for play and it isn’t who you are.”

I ran towards the bunnies in the grass and we started to whisper out our strategy of how we were going to evade the dragon before we let him pick us up so we could fly through the clouds and let our laughter shower the land with joy.

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.
