Starfighter

Prologue: The Elements

A low bustle crept around Ablia's marketplace, shops finishing up for the night. The gentle sweep of brooms accompanying the low talking of the final sales of the day. The hunters finally returned from their day-long expedition, bringing the things they collected to shopkeepers, preparing them for another day of trade.

Though things seemed peaceful, the whole kingdom was in a pandemic, a strange sickness taking countless lives, no person spared from the chaos. Even the king was brought down by the disease.

That was until it arrived.

A blacksmith stood outside of his shop, looking out to the bright and colorful night sky, his face filled with concern and head turned in confusion.

"There appears to be nine comets coming in the direction of the land."

The other shopkeepers joined the blacksmith, watching the skies. He was right, a light pink shimmer was aimed right for Ablia, a bunch of other glows aimed towards the other eight kingdoms. Five were colors of the rainbow, accompanied by a maroon, a cyan, and a gray.

And before long, the whole Ablian army and bystanders gathered around a flower field, one where the pink comet crashed. And in the center of the action sat a figure, no taller than the average female, dawning short blue hair and a gaze that felt like they were daydreaming. Behind circular glasses were its sea green eyes, and freckles littered their face. Their ears were quite pointed, white bird-like wings fading to light pink at the bottom, and a wiry tail with a rose quartz diamond at the end wrapped around their leg. The pink glow still surrounded them.

The being looked around, smiling and picking a flower, staring at it in awe, "Fascinating, it's like a tiny star, but fuzzy!"

After a moment, the figure had already weaved a crown out of the pink and white flowers, placing it over their white antlers, giggling.

Before long, the group of guards had their swords aimed at the creature's neck, the head of the army finally speaking, "Who are you and what are you here for?!"

The being stood, dusting dirt and grass off their clothes, "Please, I mean no harm! I am Entity, god of creation. My siblings and I have come to help with your troubles."

The guards were not having it, keeping the swords at this "Entity's" neck until the being backed themself up, flying up into the air and towards the village.

"After it!" the head of the army snapped.

Before long, they found Entity, walking through a medical hut, looking at the patients in sorrow, hands held to their chest.

"So this is the disease that has been killing your people," they stopped in front of one girl whose time was running low. They didn't look to be breathing, or if they were, it was very shallow.

After a second, the being gently grabbed her, holding her under the arms while the rest of her body still rested on the cot, putting their head to the other. After a moment and the glow of Entity's becoming brighter, the girl awoke, staring at them with awe.

"They healed her," one of the guards muttered as the deity stood in the center of the hut, glowing again as all the humans that were in there regained their strength, some of the others feeling more lively and upbeat.

Entity turned back around to the guards, "Enough to prove to you I'm a god?"

The people were dumbfounded, and the head of the army grabbed the god's arm, dragging them along behind him.

"Alright, if you're really wanting to prove yourself, then heal our king," he spoke before throwing the deity down in the main hall of the castle, slamming the door closed behind himself.
