Cosmic Fables: A Princess Odyssey

PROLOGUE: Cosmic Echoes

Four years ago...

In a faraway planet called Slyrio, 32 million light years from here, there lived extraordinary creatures much like us.

Today they were getting ready for a big celebration in their kingdom, and that's where our story begins.

The Princess was turning 18 today. The whole kingdom was buzzing with excitement.

Inside the grand ballroom, things were really magical. Shiny chandeliers hung from a glass ceiling, casting a soft, shimmering light. The walls were draped in silky curtains, studded with shiny diamonds and gems. The floor of the ballroom sparkled like stardust, and the stage in the middle looked like it was covered in stars and clouds. Four fountains around the stage made gentle, tinkling sounds, adding to the enchantment. Tables were decorated with beautiful, fragrant flowers.

Butterflies floated gracefully around the chandeliers, adding a touch of wonder. Tall, strong guards along with royal automatons stood outside, making sure everyone was safe. As guests arrived, they couldn't help but feel like they had stepped into a real-life fairy tale.

In between the hall, there stood a girl watching everything with a smile. She looked like she came out of a fairy tale book. Her eyes were a brilliant shade of blue, like precious sapphires. Her cheeks were rosy and warm, and her skin was smooth and radiant. Her dark brown hair flowed down her back like a silken waterfall.

Her gown was like the morning sky, with soft pinks and light blues. It had delicate designs that looked like morning dew on grass, making her look even more magical.

Among the guests, whispers of awe floated to her ears. Words of admiration for her meticulous planning and stunning decorations filled the air. "This is absolutely incredible," marveled one guest, entranced by the magical ambiance. Another added, "It's so beautiful, like a page out of a fairy tale." The sentiment echoed across the room.

Amidst all the people loving the decorations, Queen Anika, her mother walked over to her with a big smile. She looked like the older version of her.

Seeing her mother she bowed in respect and said with a smile, her blue eyes beaming with happiness,"Greetings! Mother."

Queen Anika acknowledged her greetings and said with a smile, "These decorations are amazing! It's like walking into a dream. Sia, my princess, you did such an awesome job, and everyone's talking about it."

Sia happily replied, "Thanks, Mom! I really hope she likes it."

Right then, King Dimitri joined in, looking around and asking, "No doubt she'll love it. It's so beautiful, sweetheart. But where's your sister, after all it's her 18th birthday?"

He turned around, trying to find her.

Sia looked towards the entrance and playfully said, "Well, just like always, your dear daughter is running a bit late."

She giggled and added, "Let me go get her."

Under her breath, Sia whispered, "I hope she's not still sleeping."

Queen Anika joined in the fun, teasing, "Don't expect too much. It'd be a miracle if she's ready without us reminding her."

Sia and King Dimitri both laughed at that.

Dimitri and Anika, the King and Queen of Slyrio, may have held grand titles, but to anyone who witnessed their moments right now, they appeared to be loving parents above all else.

The kingdom knew that their two princesses were the center of their parents lives. Dimitri and Anika, despite their important duties, made sure to teach their daughters good values and showed them immense love. They were not just extraordinary rulers but also amazing parents.
