The Tales of Wonder

The Star and the Thief

(Gah! This is very exciting! I finally get to show off some of my own Tales of Wonder! Now, if you guys want to see some of the original 12 Tales of Wonder, let me know and I will make it happen Cap'n! But first, we are going to start off with a current favourite of mine that I wrote! So, let's get into, The Star and The Thief!)

Once upon a time, many years ago, before even the fathers of our fathers of our fathers were born, there lived a girl. She was raised as one of the stars themselves. She was to be the North Star when she came to age.

But fate, as it would, had other plans. She was torn away from her celestial family and brought down to Earth by men who wanted to cut her heart out and eat it, thus granting them eternal life. But she had managed to escape, and met up with a pirate captain.

This pirate captain took her under his wing and treated her like family, and she found great companionship in him. But as fate would have it, she lost her friend and his formidable ship, the Black Pearl, to a terrible whirlpool, and lived on land for countless years.

Until the day she found her way into a world you may all know too well. She found her way there with a wand with blackness on it like smoke. This wand brought her into a magical world, where with the little luck she had and a bit of piracy, she got a hold of a new ship and crew. The ship, she named after her best friend and old captain, as well as the people of her kind. The Sparrowed Star.

But what is a new adventure with a little tragedy? A terrible storm came over the seas one night, and she was shipwrecked. And when she awoke the next morning with her crew, she found another pirate crew exploring her ship.

Now, amongst the pirates were two princes. One was to become Emperor, and one was a Thief. The Star wanted to use the future Emperor as a ransom against him kingdom. So she told the pirate crew and the future Emperor that they would fix her ship and abide to her taking the Emperor as prisoner, or else she would kill the Thief. And she left the scar on his neck to prove it.

The pirate crew and the Emperor fixed the ship, but managed to escape with the Thief. The Star had been injured, and turned monstrous against them. But as the ship sailed away with the Emperor and the Thief, the Star could see the Thief, and she stare into his stormy blue eyes.

Not even a week went by, and she saw the Thief again. This time, she had been raiding a small city, and had spotted a young girl that she wanted revenge against. She went to attack the girl, but the Thief shot her and poisoned her. The girl ran away, but the Thief and the Star circle each other, only to learn that they knew one another's names. How they did, they would never know, or else never remember, but they did. The Star soon ran, telling the Thief that she hoped to meet again, despite her not wanting to be around someone who had escaped from her.

The Thief and the Star managed to meet many times on accident, until they realised their intertwined destinies, and found that they were in love. But the Emperor was unsure of his elder brother's fate with the strange pirate captain. Although the Emperor himself had an Empress who had once been the terror of his kingdom.

But the Thief and the Star didn't care. The Thief, who lived in the palace with his brother and the Empress, would often sneak out, going to stay with the Star on her ship overnight, and her leaving notes for him in special places.

But even the best of secrets can't be kept forever, and this one was no different. The Emperor had come across one of the Star's notes for the Thief on his windowsill one night. This made him upset. He couldn't believe that his own brother, who had protected him when they were young, would go behind his back like that and be in love with some pirate woman.

But luckily for the Thief, the Empress was a deep believer in true love, and was able to cool her husband's flaming temper, and the Thief and the Star were able to be together.

They had many happy years together, adventuring, and sailing, and simply being together. But unfortunately, their love was not forever. The Star had come across an evil woman, who drained her of her magic, and the world was about to be thrown into terror. So the Star told the Thief, that she had to go into hiding to replenish her magic. This was over two years ago, and the Thief hadn't seen her all that time.

So if you see a young man with black as night hair of mass curls and stormy blue eyes, tell him that his Star doesn't stop thinking about him.

And if you see a girl with dirty blonde hair and eyes like the night sky that look as though stars shine in them, you tell her that a Thief has stolen her heart.
And is waiting for her.
