Celestial

Revelations of the Past

Yalu and I descended the grand staircase, with Jenna not far behind. The soft click of my diamond-crusted heels echoed through the hallways as we approached the lively party below. Excitement coursed through my veins as I anticipated the night's unfolding.

The hall was a breathtaking sight to behold, adorned with tasteful decorations that complemented the natural beauty of the cave. The essence of the surroundings remained untouched, and the decor only enhanced its beauty, creating an enchanting ambiance that captivated every guest who entered.

My parents had carefully chosen this side of the castle for the celebration, knowing the significance of the location. The hall overlooked a sacred cliffside, a place steeped in our family's history. It was here that generations before me had been bestowed with the highest honors and powers, and witnessed both births and deaths of our kin.

The decor, carefully selected by my parents, reflected the essence of who I was - a blend of celestial wonders and earthly connections. Crystals adorned the walls, representing the mystical powers that flowed through my veins. Soft drapery, reminiscent of the starlit skies, cascaded gracefully from the cave's ceiling, adding an ethereal touch to the surroundings.

I was eager to embrace the gifts fate had in store for me, to discover the destiny that awaited. Yalu's 21st sun orbit had marked a rite of passage, gifting her with formidable war skills. Accompanying her brother's army, she triumphed in battles, carrying the scars of honor as symbols of her prowess.

As for me, I wondered what the Kyrie had planned. What gifts would they bestow upon me? What path would they set me on? Tonight would reveal the answer, and I eagerly awaited on my divine destiny.

As I looked around the lively party, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The room was filled with important guests from all 12 planets of the galaxy, and the air was buzzing with energy. The servants were diligently attending to everyone's needs, ensuring the event ran smoothly, while my parents gracefully greeted each guest with warm smiles.

Meanwhile, the gifts I received were piling up in a corner, forming a mountain of beautifully wrapped packages. I couldn't wait to explore them later, curious about the surprises they held. Among the crowd, I spotted some of my friends and their families, all of them enjoying themselves and adding to the joyous atmosphere.

Feeling the weight of my impending responsibilities, I turned to my loyal friend Yalu, who had been by my side through thick and thin. "Yalu, let's get a drink before I have to put on a smile for what feels like thousands of guests," I suggested, trying to hide my nervousness behind a playful demeanor.

With a mischievous grin, Yalu nodded in agreement, and we made our way over to the table where a server was expertly preparing an array of concoctions. Tonight called for something stronger than usual, as I knew I would have to greet almost every guest, including some I didn't even know—friends of my parents and acquaintances from various realms.

"I can't wait to go through your gifts and see what I might want to borrow for myself," Yalu said with a playful glint in her eyes.

Laughing, I rolled my eyes at her antics. "you had your party, and now it's my turn," I replied, feeling grateful for her lightheartedness amidst the grandeur of the occasion.

As I sipped on my drink, I couldn't help but notice its strong taste. "I think the server put a bit too much dragon's blood in this," I remarked, feeling the effects of the potent concoction almost instantly.

Yalu smirked, clearly amused by my reaction. "You'll be fine. Just remember to pace yourself," she advised.

"Anyone on your prowl tonight?" Yalu asked, raising an eyebrow playfully.
