---------------------------------------------------------

   Celestine woke up in the middle of the night, unable to have a good night's rest. Might as well fix the tribe... She thought as she got out of bed.

   Still in her silk nightgown, Celestine slipped into her silver-sequined flats as she walked out of her room and out the building. Only then did she realise she slept in the Cloud Wing.

   The Sky Tribe was seperated into two parts. The Cloud Wing and the Stardust Wing. The Stardust Wing was the main part, the place the leaders usually slept. The Cloud Wing was for the other people that had the ability to fly. The elevator was made for guests or injured-winged people.

   Using her magic, she fixed one of the buildings and cleared up the rubble. When she thought she was done, she saw at least ten more buildings that needed to be fixed and thrice the amout of rubble which needed to be cleared up.

   "If Electra were here, the rubble clear up would be a piece of cake..." Celestine muttered under her breath as she started to fix the other buildings.

   Alas, when she was done, the sun started to rise. Her body was filled with fatique and her muscles were aching. Once her head touched the pillow back in her room, she fell asleep right away.

   Almost an hour later, Electra came knocking on her door.

   "Uhm... Celestine? It is already 7 in the morning. Wakey wakey!" She remimded Celestine to wake up.

   Groanning, Celestine changed into a simple cream-coloured blouse with black thights and a silver belt around her waist. Once she was ready, she walked down for breakfast.

   Upon reaching the breakfast hall, everybody eating there bowed as she walked past. They all knew about the attack the day before and were not very surprised to see the dark eye circles below Celestine's eyes.

   "Please, be seated." Celestine acknowledged and sat on her chair.

   After simply three bites of a sandwhich, she returned to her room to catch some sleep. On her way though, she realised she has not checked the Stardust Wing yet.

   Please tell me that was not destroyed too... She thought in her mind while making her way down.

   Upon reaching the waterfall though, she noticed a big boulder right smack in the middle of the lake before the waterfall. To add on to her misery, she saw bunches of rainclouds collecting above her.

   "OH COME ON!" Celestine screamed in annoyance as she formed a battleaxe in her hand.

   She ran forward, crushing the boulder into half. She did it again and again until the rock became small and tiny pebbles. By then, rain was already pouring from the sky and Celestine was drenched in rainwater.

   In exhaustion, she fell onto the floor and slowly closed her eyes. Before she knew it, she was unconsciously sleeping in the rain. Every part of her body ached, screaming for relief. Although it was raining, Celestine felt like she was put in a hot dessert.

   Hours later, Alexander started to worry. Where on earth was Celestine? Why isn't she back yet? Did something happen to her? Why am I even thinking of her right now?

   "Alexander? I'm guessing you are thinking of Celestine again..." Gaia muttered, making Alexander blush profusely.

   "Think about it. It has been three hours and it is raining right now. She should be back by now!" Alexander spat, covering his embarassment.

   The four thought about for a while. Electra nodded in agreement, much to the others surprise.

   "I hate to say this, but your right. She should be back by now!" Electra exclaimed as she went to get Diana, Celestine's mother.

   In shock, Diana rushed to the other three along with Electra. She stretches her pure wide angel wings and flies off, planning a search to find Celestine. Meanwhile, Alexander ran out with Oceana and Gaia in attempt to find her. Electra on the other hand, went to inform Crystalite, Celestine's sister, of the matter.

   She went to the Stardust Wing, noticing dozens of rocks lying around everywhere. Hailstorm? She fumed as she continued walking. The moment she saw someone on the floor though, she jumped in shock.

   Using her Lightning powers, she gave the others the signal to inform them that Electra had found Celestine. Electra carried her, rushing back into the Stardust Wing. She felt Celestine's forehead, shocked at how warm it was. Oh dear, she's running a fever.

   As Electra was about to enter the Wing, the others joined her. Judging by the worried look on Electra's face, they knew something was wrong.

   "Celestine's running a fever. All she needs is some medicine and rest." Electra assured as they entered the Stardust Wing.

   Ignoring his sensitivity to water, Alexander walked through the waterfall with ease. Instantly, he remember the time when Celestine threw him in. Those times, were the joyful and funny ones.

   Without hesistating, Alexander led the others to place Celestine in his room while they worked on the healing potion.

   Oceana puts together the effective fever cure with the items she collected: 1 Frost Petal, 5 Aqua drops and 1 Lightning Stone. She placed the Aqua Drops on the Frost Petal, letting the drops enter the petal like it was a container. She instructed Electra to shoot the Lightning Stone with a single strike of Lightning. Electra did as told, turning the stone into powder. Upon stirring it with the newly created Aqua Drop Petal, it became a thick blue liquid. That liquid was the best medicine to feed someone running with a fever. Or at least the only one Oceana knew of.

   She poured it inside a crystal goblet and woke Celestine, who was perspiring profusely, up. She drank the liquid down her throat, scrunching her face in disgust as she drank another glass of pure water to gulp it down.

   "Ugh, what was that horrible tasting liquid?" Celestine commented, staring blankly at the goblet.

   "Celestine Stardust. On Medic's orders, you are expected to rest till tomorrow morning. Only then will I allow you to continue providing your wonderful service." Oceana told her firmly, expecting her to protest.

   Celestine stared at her blankly before nodding eagerly.

   "Good. I think I need a rest considering the fact that I was fixing the whole tribe last night..." Celestine muttered as she fell asleep on the couch.

   She was doing what?!
