Stella's PoV
I waved goodbye to Nathanaël and I walked up to my room. I sat at my art desk and grabbed a pencil, sketch paper, line art pens, some of my copics, and marker paper. I started to sketch out a rough outline of what was supposed to be a small group teenagers with my pencil. Turning slightly to grab my light box to set it up, I knocked over some papers with my elbow. I heard a small thunk.
     What was that? I turned around to see a small black hexagon shaped box with a red design on top. How did this get in here? I picked it up and opened it. A blinding light emitted from the box in my hand. Gah! I dropped the box the light glowing brighter. Suddenly it stopped and floating there was a little blue thing. My eyes grew wide and I tripped over my chair trying to get away from the floating little thing.
"Hm? Usually I get more of a reaction." The thing said in a high but cute voice. I backed away some more and felt for something to throw. I found a cup holding my some of my pens and threw it at it. "Wha-? H-Hey! Hold on! D-Don't be afra-" I threw a book at it and fell to the floor. The thing flew over to me.
"Don't be afraid Stella, I-I won't hurt you. My names Paon, and I'm your kwami!" I looked at the little kwami.
It was small, about the size of my palm. It had bright blue-green eyes. On the top of her head were three little hair thingies. On the back she had a fan of bright blue and green feathers.
H-how did it know my name? I asked myself.
"Because I'm magic, that's why!" My mouth fell agape. "Oh don't be surprised, reading minds isn't all that hard! Everything someone or something thinks is already audible. You just gotta know how to listen!"
Okay so does this mean you can hear me right now?
"Yes! Yes I can!"
CAN YOU TEACH ME!!
"AHH! Stella there's no reason to shout!" The little kwami pressed her hands to her ears. "And also, if you want me to I can." I gasped in excitement. "But! You can only use it to talk to me. Invading other people's minds is rude. It's like your breaking into their home and stealing their most valued possessions. Got that?" I nodded.
     "Good! Now all I want you to do is think about what you want to say and who you want to say it to."
     Like this?
     "Perfect!" Said a little voice in my head.
     "Okay now that's over let me explain some stuff. Have you ever heard of the super heroine Ladybug and her charming partner Chat Noir? 
     Yes.....
     "Great! Well they didn't just get their powers out of thin air. No, they both have their own separate kwamis like me! They all have their own special powers and weapons. Ladybug has her yoyo and Lucky Charm attack she also has the ability to cleanse evil akuma. Chat Noir has his staff and also has the ability to destroy anything, his Cataclysm. You will have your fans. The ends are sharp and can make a perfect cut through anything. Also-
     Wait! Are you trying to tell me I'm going to be a super hero like Ladybug and the Chat!? I asked via telepathy.
     "Hmm? Oh I thought I said this already! You, Stella, are going to be a.... SUPER HERO!" The little kwami exclaimed, doing a loop-da-loop in the air like a true showman. "Now like I was saying-"
Hold on! You can't just say that and act like nothing happened! The kwami looked at me and I sighed. What I wanted to say was why me? I can't speak. I'm clumsy. I can't do anything right. Why did you want me to be the hero? The little kwami looked at me with sad eyes.
     "Stella, I've seen you. I've seen you go out of your way just to help a random stranger from off the street. Not looking for any recognition. Not caring if you got a thank you or not. Just helping. Just for the good of it." She took a breath. "Even if you had your own problems. Or late to something important. You just helped."
     I looked down at my feet. "H-Hey! Don't be like that! I'm still not done explaining things to you!"

(After most of the explaining is over.)

     "Okay now, the last thing I want to tell you is your special power." Paon looked at me with a happy shine in her eyes. "It's called 'Whirl Wind'. This will allow you to control the air around you and you can make it do what ever you want it to! You also have the power to purify evil akuma like Ladybug can. And oh yeah, after using your Whirl Wind you only have five minutes until your transformation wheres off!" She said.
     Okay but how do I transform? Where do you go?
     "Oh! Argh! I forgot!" She flew over to the black box that she came out of and handed it to me. I opened it up very carefully, not wanting to relive what happened with Paon not long ago. When I opened it I saw a silver necklace with a peacock printed on its silver circular tag. Five blue and green gems on the feathers. "Now I want you to put this on and say 'Paon, fans out!' Okay?"
     Okay! I hastily put on the necklace and said/thought: Paon! Fans out! The little kwami flew into my necklace. Only a second passed and instead of me being in my normal everyday cloths with my thick rimmed glasses, I was in a skin tight blue spandex suit and a blue feathered mask. On the top of my head sat a peacock crest. (The little feathery thing on top of a peacock's head.) In my hands were two fans, both a blue-ish, green-ish, teal-ish, color. A strap connecting them to my wrists. With the ends, a sharp blade that practically vanishes into thin air. When I stood in the light my suit would fade from blue to green, same with my mask.
"Woah!" My eyes grew wide as I gasped and covered my mouth.
"Oh I forgot to mention that most physical problems or injuries will be fixed when you transform. Now you'll be able to speak freely! You'll be able to say what you feel out loud and not have to be cooped up in your mind all day!" The little kwami laughed inside my head.
"Thank you Paon!" My voice sounded fine as far as I could tell. It definitely didn't sound like it hasn't been used in seven years.
I looked around and, out of habit, tried to push up my glasses. But they weren't there.
"Oh yeah, right." I mumbled to myself. "Paon? Umm... how do I take off the transform?"
"Oh! All you have to do is say: Paon fans off. Okay?"
"Okay! Paon! Fans off!"
A blue light surrounded me and in a flash I was back in my normal cloths. The ability to speak slipping away. Paon was floating in front of me when she said.
     "Soooooooo? Cool hmm?
     Yeah.... But what am I gonna do with these newfound powers?
     "You'll see."
