It has to work...

.

Countless stars are shining above a small girl in rags. Her movements are slow, dragging the sand with her. She held an old wooden bucket in her dirty calloused hands. Sand leaks out of the bucket through its many holes. However, she treks on through the endless dunes of sand towards a small pile that she had been working on for years.

As she approaches, her eyes begin to shine more than her usual dull-shaded look.

She pours the bucket of sand onto the pile. Its glitter reflecting the light of the sky above her. Falling to her knees, she begins to mold the sand she had collected.

This pile differed slightly from the sands of the dunes surrounding her. Its color is more white with blue crystals within, compared to the dark gray sand she was sitting on.

She worked...

and worked...

and worked...

Moving and molding the sand into a creation only she knew of. Only using the light of the tree to view her creation. Her eyes shone brighter as she worked, this was her best work...

Her masterpiece...

Her Starchild...

She leaned back, looking at her creation...

An infant made from sand.

 A smile formed as she looked at the child. Her hands began to emanate a yellow electric energy. He reached down and held her glowing hands against the head of the child. The energy covering the sand sculpture. The woman spoke out, her voice raspy and exhausted.

"Rise, Starchild"

The light began to shine brighter than the tree and the stars combined. And as fast as it came, it vanished without a trace. Leaving only the faint cries of an infant filling the soundless desert.

The woman looked down at the child, the sand being turned into flesh and blood. Tears build in the bright (E/C) eyes of the child. The woman picked up the child quickly quieting it down. She spoke again, in a gentle tone.

"Hush, Starchild. Stop your tears. You shall be going to you're new home soon."

With a flash of light, the woman and child were no longer in the infinite deserts but instead a brick city, surrounded by massive walls. 

A storm was raging on, the rain pelting the woman and child at a sharp angle. Lightning and thunder make the infant begin to cry again.

The woman walked over to a home where she knew the child would be loved and would be led to the path that she... no... the world needed. This child would save the world from what she knew was coming. Laying the child down on the doorstep, it's crying echoing throughout the city. She turned and walked away only looking back to say one thing.

"Stay strong Starchild."

She then left in a flash of light. Illuminating the city. Leaving only the crying Starchild on the doorstep of a home...
