The Power Orbers

Chapter 9

"Time to go. Hey! Get back over there!" The man said, pulling Jason over to the corner. "Jason! Let him go!" I said, grabbing the guys pant leg. "Get off me." The man said, kicking me away from him. "I don't want a slave that has more than one injury. Bad enough she already has one injury." A woman said, walking into the cell. "Here. Let me help you up." The woman said, holding out her hand to me. I hesitated for a moment then grabbed her hand. "Are you ok?" The woman said, helping me sit down. I shook my head wiping away the tears. "Do you know the man in the corner?" The woman said, pointing to Jason. I nodded my head. "H-he's my husband." I said, looking at the woman. The woman pulled the man away from Jason. "What do you think you're doing?" The man said, looking at the woman. "I can't break these two lovely people up. How much for the man?" The woman said, helping Jason up. "He's not for sale." The man said, looking at Jason. "I said, "How much for him." The woman said, glaring at him. "He'd be 45 gold pieces. Same as her." The man said, looking at me. "Deal." The woman said, giving the man a small bag full of gold coins. "Come on. Let's go." The woman said, helping me up. Jason wrapped my arm around his shoulders. "Follow me." The woman said, walking out of the cell and out of the building we were in. "Where are you taking us?" I asked, as we followed the woman into the woods. "I'm setting you guys free. Oh and Stacey." The woman said, looking at me. "Yes?" I said, looking up at the woman. "By any chance, when you were in that giant outside cage, did you see a little girl?" The woman said, looking at me. "Yeah. Why?" I asked, looking at her. "She's my daughter. She was taken away from me two days after she was born." The woman said, starting to cry. "It's ok miss. We'll find your daughter." Jason said, looking at the woman. "Th-thank you." The woman said, wiping away her tears. "Oh and Stacey. Take this." The woman said, giving me a clear orb. "I-it's my orb. B-but how? It broke." I said, taking the orb from the woman. "It did but I fixed it for you." The woman said, looking at me. "Thank you." I said, looking at her. "Your welcome." She said, as the orb started to glow. I looked at the orb and I started to fly as well as glow. "What's happening?" I said, getting scared. "Since your orb broke then got fixed, your orb is reconnecting with you, and it's also healing your leg." The woman said pointing to my leg. After I stopped glowing my leg was healed then I stopped flying and started falling towards the ground. Jason caught me and laid me on the ground. "Are you ok?" Jason said, looking at me. "Yeah. I think so." I said, sitting up. "Careful." The woman said, looking at me. "I-I need to rest." I said, looking at the woman. "Of course. Then in the morning I can tell you my name and my daughters name." The woman said, setting up two tents with sleeping bags. "This one is your's and Jason's and this one is mine." The woman said, heading inside. "Here let me help you." Jason said, picking me up and carrying me into the tent. "Thanks." I said, laying on the sleeping bag. "Night Stacey. I'll wake you up in the morning." Jason said, laying down in the sleeping bag next to me. "Stacey, time to wake up." Jason said, shaking my arm. "I'm up." I said, rubbing my eyes. "We have to talk to the woman then go find her daughter." Jason said, helping me up. "Ok. Let's go." I said, walking out of the tent and over to the woman. "I'm Joan and my daughter's name is Abbie. She has auburn hair, green eyes, and she always wears a purple dress with a burgundy bow on the tip of her tail. She is a meif-wa." Joan said, showing us a picture of her and her daughter. "Ok. Come on Stacey, let's go." Jason said, walking off. "We'll find your daughter. I promise." I said, running after Jason. "Where should we start looking?" Jason said, walking next to me. "Maybe there." I said, pointing to the giant cage wall. "Didn't even see it." Jason said, looking at me. I started laughing. ""Come on. We have to figure out how to get in." Jason said, looking around. "There." I said, pointing to a door. Jason and I picked the lock to the door."I'll stay here and keep an eye out. If you need help, you know how to get me." Jason said, standing next to the door. "Ok." I said, walking inside. I walked around in the woods for about an hour before I found a small group of tents. I saw a lay holding a baby. "Excuse me. Do you know where I can find a little girl named Abbie?" I asked, walking over to the woman. "Oh course. She's in that tent over there." The woman pointed to a tent with no windows. "Be warned she does not like anyone." The woman said, walking off with the baby. I walked over to the tent the woman pointed to and knocked on the door. "Who's there!" Abbie said, coming to the door. "I'm Stacey. Your mother's friend." I said, looking down at Abbie. "You are?" Abbie said, starting to cry. "I'm here to take you back to her." I said, holding out my hand. "Ok." She said, crying even more. Abbie grabbed my hand and we started walking back to the door. Right when we got to the door we were ambushed. "Abbie stay behind me." I said, pulling her behind me. I pulled out my clear orb and it made my half blue half pink orb appear. I grabbed it and put the clear one away. "Stacey I'll take these four you get those four." Jason said, pulling out his orb. "Jason Aken Wolf, King Of All Dimensions." Jason said, transforming. "Stacey Faith Domencia, Queen Of All Dimensions." I said, transforming. "Give us back the princess of Melona (Mal-oh-nah)." A man said, stepping towards Abbie. I growled at the man. "Seriously? I am not scared of you." The man said, attacking me. My eyes glowed brighter than ever before. "Stay away from Abbie." I said, attacking the man. Three men were knocked out and the other man just ran off. My eyes stopped glowing, as I turned around I could see that Abbie was scared. "Are you ok?" I asked, looking at Abbie. Abbie started shaking, then she pointed to Jason. I turned around and saw a man sneaking up behind Jason with a knife. "Jason watch out!" I said, flying over and knocking the knife out of the guys hand and tumbling down the hill with him. "Stacey! That's it, I am done." Jason said, knocking out the man, grabbing Abbie's hand, and running down the hill after me. My wings hit off a tree as I kept rolling down the hill punching the guy. We both hit a tree and came to a stop. I had a cut on my cheek, a cut on my arm, my wings were broken and bleeding, and I also had a minimum of ten bruises. The other guy on the other hand, had cuts and bruises all over. "Stacey! Are you ok?" Jason said, helping me up. "Yeah, I think so." I said, as I started to glow a dim light blue. "Stacey, your magic. It's weak." Jason said, as the light disappeared, I de-transformed, and fell to my knees. "Abbie. Take Stacey and head back to your mother. I'll take care of this guy." Jason said, as the guy stood up and pulled out a pitch black orb. "Go! Now!" Jason said, turning to face the man. "Y-yes sir." Abbie said, helping me up and teleporting us away. We teleported to Joan's camp, and ended up in the air. Abbie landed on her feet but I ended up landing on my wings, breaking them even more. "Oops. Sorry. I'm still getting used to the whole teleporting thing." Abbie said, helping me up. "It's ok." I said, nearly falling down again. "No it's not. You have cuts, bruises, and your wings are broken." Abbie said, sitting me against a tree. "But my wings disappeared. How do you know they are broken?" I asked, looking at Abbie. "They just shrunk. They aren't gone." Abbie said, pointing to my back. "Abbie? Is that you?" Joan said, walking over to us. "Mom!" Abbie said, running over and hugging her mom. I smiled, I was glad they were back together, I ended up falling asleep. I woke up a couple hours later. It was midnight and there was no sign of Jason anywhere. "Where are you Jason?" I said, looking up at the stars. Stars started to move and form an arrow. Multiple arrows appeared and pointed East. "Is that a new power?" I said, standing up carefully. I followed the stars all the way to where Jason was fighting the man. The arrows stopped. "Jason? Are you here?" I said, looking around. I heard nothing. "It's too dark to see." I looked up at the stars. "Can you shine some light down?" I said. The stars shined bright. I looked around and saw Jason. "Jason!" I said, running over to him. Jason wasn't moving but I could tell he was breathing, just barely though. "Stars. Can you help me bring him back to Joan's camp." I said, looking up at the sky. The stars glowed and made a door in the sky. The door opened and a person came out, holding something in their hands. Stars made a staircase down and the person walked down to us. "I'm Delphina. I was the Princess Of Stars." Delphina said, handing me a necklace. "What do you mean, was?" I asked, holding the necklace. "You, Stacey Faith Domencia, is the new Princess Of Stars." Delphina said, walking back up the stars, into the door, and disappearing. "What?" I said, to myself while looking at the necklace. I put the necklace on and it glowed. My wings broke completely and stars formed new ones. The necklace changed to small stars. "Woah." I said, to myself, looking at my wings and the necklace. I turned around and saw Jason. "I have to get you back to camp." I said, picking Jason up and looking up at the stars. "Make a doorway to camp." I said, as my necklace glowed. A doorway appeared in the sky with a staircase down to us. I climbed the staircase and opened the door. I walked through still carrying Jason. We teleported above the camp and a staircase led down. I walked down the star staircase as it disappeared from behind me and put Jason in our tent. I went back outside and sat down under the stars. "What even happened to him?" I said, looking at the stars. It turned to day and my eyes started to hurt from the bright sun. I ended up falling asleep. "Stacey. Wake up." Abbie said, shaking me awake. "What. What is it?" I said, opening my eyes. The sun was bright but the shade from the tree blocked most of it. "Your wings are made of stars. Wait does that mean your? The Princess Of Stars." I said, interrupting her. "Really? How?" Joan said, walking over to us. "I don't really know." I said, holding my necklace. The stars on my necklace started to glow and the stars came off and showed everything that happened. "Okay, that's new." I said, as the stars attached back to my necklace. "Woah. That was awesome." Abbie said, looking at the stars as the last one attached itself. "It's strange." I said, looking at the necklace. "Why did I become the princess of stars?" I asked, looking at Joan. "Did you loose any powers or blow out any powers?" Joan asked, looking at me. "I lost my power to heal after Katania was born. Oh no. I have to get back home. Katania has no idea where we are." I said, standing up. "Woah. Calm down. One year here is actually an hour in your dimension." Joan said, walking over to me. "Wait. IT'S BEEN A YEAR!" I said, looking at Joan. "Yeah..." Joan said, backing away. "I need to check on Jason." I said, walking over to our tent. I walked inside and saw Jason trying to stand up. "No. Jason. You need rest." I said, running over to his side. "How did I get here? Wait. Stacey?" Jason said, looking at me. "I'm here. Don't worry. I brought you here." I said, helping Jason sit back down. "How? Your wings are broken and where I was was miles away from the camp." Jason said, looking into my eyes. "They're not broken anymore." I said, showing Jason my wings. "You're the princess of stars? Wait. Have you ever tried transforming?" Jason asked, looking at my wings. "Yeah, I'm the princess of stars. But I never tried to transform before." I said, sitting down next to Jason. "Well. After I'm better, we could see what happens when you transform." Jason said, looking into my eyes. "Ok. But for now. Get your rest. You need it." I said, heading out of the tent. It started to turn night again so I just went back to the tree and sat down. "I wish I could heal Jason. I don't want to loose him. I said, as it turned night. The stars glowed bright as one flew down to me and landed in my hands. "What's this for?" I asked looking up at the sky. The stars moved and created words. It said, "To heal the one you love." Then the stars went back to normal. "Thank you." I said, standing up. I went into our tent and stood near Jason. "I don't know how to do this." I said, starting to shake. "What's happening?" I said, to myself as I kept shaking. The star started to glow. My hands kept shaking as the star started floating over Jason.The star disappeared then I passed out. When I woke up I saw Jason sitting next to me. "How are you feeling?" I asked, looking at Jason. "I'm doing great. How did you do that?" Jason asked, looking at me. "A star landed in my hands and I used it to heal you." I said, slowly standing up. "Are you ok?" Jason asked helping me up. "I actually don't know." I said, looking at Jason. "Let's get you outside, under the stars." Jason said, helping me outside and sitting down under a tree. The stars glowed and healed me. "How did that heal me?" I said, looking at the stars. "You are the princess of stars after all." Jason said, looking at me. "True." I said, looking at Jason. "Tomorrow we can see what happens when you transform then the day after that we can go home." Jason said, helping me up. "Ok. I can't wait to see Katania." said, heading to the tent with Jason. "Yeah. I hope she's ok." Jason said. "I know she is." I said. "Here. You can sleep in the sleeping bag. I'll sleep on the ground." Jason said, looking at me. "It's ok. I can sleep outside. The stars seem to calm me." I said, heading towards the door. "Are you sure? What if you get hurt?" Jason said, looking at me. "I'm sure. I'll be fine. If anything happens the stars will tell me." I said, heading outside and falling asleep under a tree. I started dreaming and ended up having the stars wake me up. I woke up and looked at the stars. The stars glowed and showed me a man sneaking up behind me. I snuck up behind the man and attacked him. "Why are you sneaking up on this camp?!" I said, lifting the man up off the ground. "I want Abbie Sona Of Colaris. She will be mine if it's the last thing I do." The man said, kicking me in the stomach. I fell to my knees. "You will not be going anywhere." I said, getting back up. "What makes you so sure about that? Princess." The man said, looking at me with a evil grin. "This." I said, standing up and attacking the man. "That never works." The man said, dodging my attack and pinning me to the ground. "J-jason." I screamed, as the man started trying to choke me. "Stacey, I'm coming!" Jason said, running out of the tent and tackling the man. I started coughing and choking. Jason tied the man to a tree and came running over to me. "Are you ok?" Jason said, helping me up. "I-i think so." I said, breathing heavily. "This rope can't hold me." The man said, breaking the ropes. "You will not get Abbie! Leave now or else." I said, taking a star off my necklace. "What are you going to do? Throw a charm at me?" The man said, starting to laugh. I started to get angry. "Stacey Faith Domencia, Princess Of The Stars." I said, transforming. My wings grew bigger, I had a black dress with stars on, and a tiara made of stars appeared on my head. "You're just a little creep." The man said, looking at me. "I am not a creep!" I said, as the stars in the sky started to spin in a circle. The man started running towards me. I flew up as the man pulled out a bow and shot one of my wings. I started falling towards the ground. Before I did, stars appeared underneath me and helped me stay in the air. "You can't get away from me that easily. Kevin Ash Fox, Prince Of River Valley." The man said, flying up to me. "Great. This just turned into a royal battle. I better transform and help." Jason said, pulling out his orb. The man kept attacking me as I kept dodging him. "I heard that and you are not helping Jason. I don't want you to get hurt again." I said, as my ears and tail changed from snow wolf to vulpini. (Vulpini is a type of fox.) "Why did your ears and tail just change?" Jason said, looking at me. I continued dodging the man's attacks. "What are you talking about? I still have snow wolf ears and tail. Right?" I said, knocking the man to the ground. The stars spun around me and started to glow. "What's going on? Stacey, are you ok?" Jason said, holding his red orb. "I honestly don't know." I said, as the stars stopped glowing and disappeared. Jason put his orb away and looked at me. I started falling towards the ground when Jason ran over and caught me. "Who are you two?!" The man said, standing up. Jason put me down and started growling at the man. "Jason. Please don't." I said, de-transforming. My wings shrunk, the dress disappeared, my necklace went back to normal, and the tiara combined with my crown for all dimensions. The crown was the same but instead of small gems, the stars were there. "Wait. Are you, Stacey Faith Domencia, Queen Of All Dimensions?" The man asked, looking at me. "Yes, I am." I said, standing up. "Then that means. Oh my Queen Clair. Err. Queen Stacey. I-um. I am so sorry." The man said, bowing. "What's your name?" Jason growled. The man took a step back. "Jason, stop growling. Can't you see you're scaring him." I said, pulling his arm. "M-my name is Kevin. I-I'm the prince of River Valley. It's a dimension that was destroyed a couple days ago. My whole family was captured. A man told me that if I got them Abbie Sona Of Colaris then my family would be free." Kevin said, starting to cry. "I think I might know how to get your family back without getting Abbie into this." I said, making five stars in the sky come down to me. I made an exact look alike out of stars. "How did you do that?" Kevin said, looking at me. "Even though I'm the queen of all dimensions, I'm also the princess of stars. I don't know why I was chosen but I was." I said, looking at the necklace as the exact replica disappeared. It started to turn day and my eyes started to burn from the bright sunlight. "Stacey? Are you ok? Your eyes are turning a little red." Jason said, looking at me. "I don't know. The sun is just really bright for some weird reason." I said, blocking the light from my eyes. "How many days have you been in the sun?" Kevin said, looking at me. "Four days. Why?" I asked, still blocking the light. "That's why. You can only be in the sun three times. Then you have to be out of the sun for a day then you can go back in the sun for three days. It's a pattern." Kevin said, walking over to me. Jason started growling again. "If you growl at him, I will start pulling on your wolf ears." I said, looking at Jason. Kevin stopped in his place. "Fine." Jason said, looking at me. "Let's get you in the shade." Jason said, helping me get under a tree. "Thanks." I said, looking at Jason. Jason's smile seemed to calm me. "Are you sure you're ok? Your eyes are still red." Jason said, looking at me. "Her eyes will be like that for a couple hours." Kevin said, looking at me. "How do you know all of this?" Jason said, looking at Kevin. "My mom. She used to be the princess of stars." Kevin said, looking at Jason. "Wow." I said, just before passing out. When I woke up half the sky was sunny the other half was filled with stars. "Oh great. My powers are messing up." I said, standing up slowly. "Careful. We don't want to mess up the dimension then it already is." Jason said, looking at Kevin. "Then how do we do that? The princess of stars is passed out and the dimension is going crazy!" Kevin said, looking at me then at the sky. "I'm actually not passed out anymore." I said, walking over to Jason. "What are we going to do." Kevin said, walking back over to Jason. "Seriously. Am I invisible or something?" I said, looking back at the tree. "Oh." I said, as I saw myself. "So I'm dreaming?" I said, looking at myself. "Or is this what's going on while I'm passed out?" I said, sitting down by the tree. "What if we wake her up?" Jason said, looking a me. "That could work. Either that or explode the whole dimension." Kevin said, looking at Jason. "What!" I screamed, when my soul returned to my body and woke me up. I was breathing heavily when Jason ran over to me. "Are you ok?" Jason asked, looking at me. I stood up and looked at the sky. The ground started to shake. "What's happening?" I said, as the ground started to split apart from underneath me. "Stacey watch out!" Jason said, running over and pulling me out of the way. "Are you ok?" Jason said, getting up. "I think so. Thanks for saving me." I said, standing up. My left arm started to hurt. I held my left arm close to me. "Are you ok?" Kevin asked looking at me. "Yeah. I'm fine." I said, looking at my arm. The stars started spinning, disappeared, then the sky went back to normal. "What just happened?" Kevin said, looking at the sky. "I don't know." I said, looking at the sky. My crown and wings disappeared. "Um Stacey? Your crown and wings disappeared." Jason said, walking over to me. "Great. Another power failure." I said, sitting down. "It's ok Stacey. They'll come back in about a week." Jason said, hugging me. "How will we get Kevin's family back and also be able to get back home to Katania." I said, starting to cry. "We'll figure this out." Jason said, wiping away my tears. "You stay here. Jason and I will rescue my family." Kevin said, looking at Jason. "Are you sure you guys will be able to do it?" I asked, looking at them. "Yes. We're sure." Jason said, helping me up and over to our tent. "Where are Joan and Abbie's tent? And also. Where are they?" I asked, as we both walked into the tent. "They went back home a while ago." Jason said, looking at me. I sat down on the sleeping bag. "Take this." I took a star off my necklace and handed it to Jason. "It will teleport you all back here. But you can only use it once." I said, looking at Jason. "Thank you." Jason said, kissing my cheek. "No problem." I said, as Jason left. "Be careful." I said, to myself. I grabbed a piece of cloth and wrapped it around my left arm. "There. Hopefully it will make it hurt less." I said, tying it together. I layed down and went to sleep. I woke up to a loud bang. I got up and poked my head outside my tent. There were men standing right outside the camp and none of them were either Jason or Kevin. Just then one of the men spotted me. "Get her!" The man said, pointing to me. I ran out of my tent and started running through the forest. I hid behind a bush. "Where did she go?" A man said. "I don't know." Another man said. "Find her!" The leader screamed, at the other two. "Yes sir." The two men said. I heard a twig snap. "What am I going to do?" I said, to myself. "Found ya." The man said, grabbing my right arm, picking me up, and throwing me against a tree. "Careful with her. We need her power." The leader said, walking over to me. "Leave me alone." I said, crawling away from him. I grabbed a star off my necklace. "Grab her." The leader said, looking at me. I threw the star on the ground. "Teleportan." I said, as the star broke and I teleported away. I was teleported back to the camp and landed on the ground right in front of Jason. "Stacey! What happened? Where did you even come from? I thought you were in the tent." Jason said, helping me up. "I heard an explosion and when I looked outside the tent I saw a bunch of men. They started looking around and one of them spotted me. I ran and hid. Then one of them caught me and threw me against a tree. I teleported away and that's when I landed in front of you." I said, as my back started to hurt. "Are you ok?" Jason asked, looking at me. "My back really hurts." I said, while years started to twitch along with Jason's. "Did you hear that?" I asked, looking at Jason. He nodded his head. "It sounded like it came from over there." I said, pointing to a bunch of shadows behind the trees. "Come out now!" Jason growled, letting go of my arm. I fell to my knees. "Are you ok?" Kevin said, helping me up. I nodded my head. "A huge group of men came out from behind the trees. "Give us the star princess and Abbie Sona Of Colaris and no one gets hurt." The leader said, looking at me. "Abbie's no longer here." Kevin said, looking at the leader. "Then give us the princess of stars." The leader said, taking a step forward. "Over my dead body." Jason said, pulling out his red orb. "Jason Aken Wolf, King Of All Dimensions." Jason said, transforming. The leader motioned everyone of his minions to attack. "Leave him alone!" I said, looking at him. "Get her!" The leader said, pointing to me. "Leave her alone." Kevin said, pulling me behind him. "I won't let them hurt you." Kevin said, pulling out a half blue half clear orb. "Kevin Ash Fox, Prince Of River Valley." Kevin said, transforming. Kevin's family transformed as well. Kevin and Jason, both kept the guys at bay so none of them could get near me. While Kevin's mother, father, three sisters, and two brothers guarded me. "Jason watch out!" I screamed, as Jason got knocked out by one of the men. I ran over to Jason. "Jason please wake up." I said, holding his head in my lap. "What have you done to my husband!" I said, as my eyes glowed a bright pink and a bright light blue. My hair started floating, stars appeared in the braids, then my crown and wings appeared. Jason and I both started floating. One of my eyes turned completely pink while the other one turned completely light blue and glowed bright. "Sonafa onefa kona mas no tona." (Pronounce as well as you can.) I said, as my eyes glowed brighter and brighter. The men started running as I turned my head ever so slightly as the leaders gaze met mine. "Traitors." The leader said watching his men run away. "Now for you." I said, as a cage appeared around him. "You shall be stuck there until the end of time." I said, as my eyes started to turn grey. "Stacey listen to me. This isn't you. Look inside yourself. This isn't the woman Jason married. He married a loving and beautiful woman. He wouldn't want this. So please. Look inside yourself and find the kindness in your heart to not kill this man." Kevin said, walking forwards. My eyes turned back to pink and light blue. Both me and Jason floated back to the ground as my hair stopped floating. When both Jason and I touched the ground I passed out. I woke up in a tent next to Jason. I sat up slowly and went outside of the tent. "Hey. How are you feeling?" Kevin said, looking at me. "I'm better. Thanks." I said, sitting down next to him by the fire. "No problem. Um. Stacey?" Kevin said, looking at me. "Yeah?" I said, looking at Kevin. "Are you a lord of a village or something because a woman that looked just like you showed up and was looking for you." Kevin said, pointing to a woman sitting under a tree. "Alina?" I said, standing up. "Stacey!" Alina said, running over and hugging me. "It's been an two hours. Where have you been?" Alina said, looking at me. "Long story short, I am the princess of stars and people want my power." I said, looking at Alina. "Oh. So the usual." Alina said, laughing. "Stacey. Can I talk to you." Kevin said, pulling me to the side. "Sure. What do you need?" I said, looking at Kevin. "Since your the lord of the village you live in. I was wondering if me and my family could live there? My dimension got destroyed so now we don't really have a home." Kevin said, looking at his parents and siblings. "Of course." I said, smiling. It turned day and Jason came out of the tent. "Jason you're okay!" I said, running over and hugging him. "Are you ready to head home?" Jason said, looking at me. "Umm, yeah but. Alina's here and also Kevin and his family are coming to live in out village. The only way to get a group this big to another dimension is to open a portal at night. That's when I'm in the most control of the stars." I said, still hugging Jason. "Ok." Jason said, hugging me back. We all sat down and waited until it turned night. "I'll get the portal all set up. Alina. I need you to help make sure everything is all packed and ready. Along with making sure everyone's ready. Jason. I need you to help me keep the portal stable when it's open so everyone can get through." I said, as stars started to for a portal frame. "Alina ran off and Jason stood at the other end of the portal. "Ready." I said, holding a star in my hand. Jason nodded his head while holding a orb in his hand. I threw the star on the ground at the bottom of the portal. Jason made his orb glow and held the portal open. I held my necklace with one hand and kept the portal open with the other. "Single file and one at a time." Alina said, getting everyone through the portal. "I'll meet you guys on the other side." Alina said looking at me and Jason. I nodded my head as Alina went through. "Jason you go through next. I'm right behind you." I said, looking at Jason. He nodded his head and went through. I took one quick look around then went through the portal. I landed on the ground then the portal disappeared behind me. "Everyone make it through ok?" Alina said, looking around. "Yeah." Kevin said, looking around. Jason helped me up to my feet then we headed into our village. "I can build your guys's houses in the morning. For tonight you can sleep in these tents. Is that ok?" Jason said, looking at Kevin and his family. They nodded their heads and went to sleep. Alina went off to her house while me and Jason went back to ours. We went upstairs and went to bed. When I woke up Jason wasn't next to me. I looked at the clock and it was 2:30 in the afternoon. I went downstairs and saw Katania. "Mom you're finally awake. Are you ready to go train?" Katania said, walking over to me. "Sure thing. Come on. Oh and don't forget to bring your orbs. I just have to grab something from my room. I'll meet you at the training area." I said, heading up the stairs and into my room. "Now where did I put it?" I said, looking in the drawers and the closet. "Not there." I said, closing the drawers. I looked under the bed and found a box. "Found it." I said, opening the box and seeing the tiara for the princess of all dimensions. "This will be a perfect gift for Katania. Then she can finally transform into her Domencia princess form." I said, walking downstairs and outside, still holding the box. I wet over to the training area. "Are you ready to start training?" I said, setting the box behind a tree. "As ready as I'll ever be." Katania said, playing with her hair. Katania pulled out an orb and we started training. I went easy on her so I didn't hurt her. I would feel so bad. Katania ended up hitting every target I sent her way. "Nice job. Since you completed your training, I got you a little present." I said, grabbing the box that was behind the tree. I handed the box to Katania and she opened it. "It's just a tiara." Katania said, taking it out of the box. "It's been passed down through our family for generations. It was given to me when I completed my training. The tiara was made to help it's owner transform into her Domencia princess form. On your 16th birthday you get a special tiara made to only unlock your powers and help you transform." I said, taking the tiara and putting it on her head. "Repeat after me. Katania Flora Domencia, Princess Of All Dimensions." I said, as Katania repeated. Katania transformed, she had yellow flowers in her hair, and a yellow dress on. "You look beautiful, Katania." I said, looking at her. "Thanks mom." Katania said, hugging me. "Now, how do I de-transform?" Katania asked, looking at me. "Just think of what form you want to go back into and do it." I said, stepping back. Katania pictured how she was before and de-transformed. "Nice job Katania. It's time to head home now. It's midnight." I said, grabbing Katania's hand. My ears started to twitch again but I just ignored it. We went back to the village and Katania went to the house and went to sleep. I went to the clinic and walked inside. "Hi my lord. Are you looking for Ethan?" Cathy asked, looking in her folder and organizing everything. "Yeah. Have you seen him?" I asked. "Yeah. Alina took him back to her house to take care of since you are taking care of Katania." Cathy said, putting the folder away. "Ok. Thank you." I said, leaving and walking back to my house. I sat outside by the door and looked up at the stars. I went inside and went to sleep. (In my dream.) "Stacey. In two weeks the star solstice will be here. The star solstice makes the night last for sixteen hours with only eight hours of daylight.. It can grant you new powers for the greater good or for evil. You have to keep yourself and everyone you know and love, safe. If you don't, evil will take over and destroy you from the inside." A woman said. (Out of my dream.) I ended up waking up, screaming. "Stacey is everything ok?" Jason asked, waking up. "I just need to get some air." I said, getting out of bed. I went downstairs and sat down by the open window. I didn't care that it was still night. The air helped me a little but I was still scared. "Stacey. Are you sure you're ok?" Jason said, coming down the stairs. "I don't know." I said, turning around. "Come to bed. You need to sleep. Then you can tell me what happened in the morning." Jason said, looking at me. We headed upstairs and went back to bed. Twelve days later, and only two days before the star solstice. "We have to get this barrier finished before the star solstice." Garroth said, pulling out all his orbs and forming a circle around himself. "Ok." Alina said, pulling out her half green half pink orb. Jason pulled out his green orb. As I pulled out all my orbs and went over to help. I placed all my orbs around me, grabbed a star off my necklace, turned it into an orb, and put it with the rest. I actually had four times the amount of orbs Garroth had, and he had a lot. I made all my orbs glow and helped form a barrier. It drained most of my energy and power but I didn't care. It was to help the ones I loved. The barrier was finished and all my orbs disappeared into my pockets as the star went back onto my necklace. Garroth picked up all his orbs and put them away. Jason and Alina put theirs away as well. "Is everyone okay" Garroth asked, looking at me, Jason, and Alina. "I'm fine." Alina and Jason said, standing up. "Stacey?" Garroth said, looking at me. "I'm fine. Just tired. I-i'm going to head to bed early." I said, standing up and walking to the house. I went inside and went to bed. I woke up the next day, it was 11:30 in the morning. "Hey. You're finally awake. How are you feeling?" Jason said, walking into the room. "To be honest. I feel completely drained." I said, sitting up. "At least you're awake now." Jason said, hugging me. "Thanks." I said, hugging him back. "I finished building houses for Kevin and rest of his family." Jason said, standing up and holding out his hand. "That was very kind of you." I said, grabbing his hand. WE walked downstairs and I sat down at the table along with Jason. "Dad guess what mom trained me to do!" Katania said, coming downstairs. "What did she train you to do?" Jason said, looking at me then at Katania. "Come outside. I'll show you." Katania said, running outside. Jason and I both walked outside and over to the training area that was outside of the barrier. " Are you sure it's safe outside of the barrier this close to the tar solstice?" Jason said looking at me. "We'll go back inside the barrier after Katania shows you what I trained her to do." I said, looking at Jason then at Katania. "Katania Flora Domencia, Princess Of All Dimensions." Katania said, transforming. "Nice job Katania, I'm so proud of you." Jason said, smiling. "Thanks." Katania said, de-transforming. My ears twitched again. This time Jason noticed it. "Ok. Time to head back inside the barrier." Jason said. Jason, Katania, and I went back inside the barrier. Jason's ears started to twitch as well. "Katania. Head inside the house. We'll be in later." Jason said, looking at Katania. "Yes dad." Katania said, running into the house. Garroth and Kevin walked over to us. "Is everything ok?" Kevin said, looking at us. "Stacey's ears twitched, along with mine." Jason said, looking at me. "She's a vulpini now?!" Garroth said, looking at my ears. Jason put up the hood on my cloak. "Yeah. We have no idea how it happened." I said, looking at them. "Did you guys hear that?" Kevin said, looking at me and Jason. My ears twitched as my eyes darted to the village entrance. Twenty or thirty men walked towards the entrance. "The barrier should keep them at bay for now." Garroth said, looking at them. One of the men stepped forward and looked at us. Garroth, Kevin, Jason, and I walked over to the entrance but stayed inside the barrier. "What do you want?" I said, keeping my hood up so they couldn't see my face. "Well. Since you asked, little lady. I want the Princess Of Stars." The man said, looking at us. "How do you know she's even here?" Kevin said, looking at the man. "We put a little tracking device on her cloak, the last time we saw her." The man said, looking at us. "And she's right there." The man said, pointing to me. I took a step back, Jason wrapped his arm around me. "You can't have her." Garroth and Kevin said, standing in front of me. "What makes you say that?" The man said, looking at them then at his group. I looked at Jason, I could tell he was scared, I didn't know what to do. "Give us the Princess Of Stars. Oh and I guess while we're at it. Why not the Queen Of All Dimensions as well." The man said. "Sir. That wasn't what we-" The leader was shocked the man spoke to him like that. "What do you mean "We" hmm?" The leader said, turning to look at the man. "I. Sorry sir." The man said, bowing. "You better be." The leader said, shoving the man out of his way. My ears twitched again. The leader was whispering something. But I couldn't hear him. The leader walked off and the men disappeared. "That was strange." Jason said, looking at me. "Is he seriously that stupid. Stacey is both the Queen Of All Dimensions and the Princess Of Stars." Kevin said, looking at me. "He is pretty stupid." I said, laughing. We all walked back to the middle of town and saw Alina finishing building a fountain. "It's beautiful Alina." Garroth said, looking at it. There was an empty platform in the middle. "Why is there a empty spot in the middle?" Jason asked, pointing to the empty platform. "That's where the statue of Stacey will go. She is the founder of Falcon Fire after all." Alina said, looking at me. "M-me?" I said, shocked. "Yes you. It's because of you, we're all here and alive." Alina said, looking at me. "I. Thank you." I said, looking at Alina. "The statue will be finished by the Star Solstice." Alina said, looking at us. "Thank you Alina." I said, hugging her. "No problem." Alina said, walking off to her house. It turned night so we all went to sleep. When I woke up, the sun was shining through the window, blinding me. I got up and walked over to the window. It was blinding as I closed the window shades. I went through the whole house and closed all the window shades. "Mom. Why is it so dark in here?" Katania said, walking into the house with Jason right behind her. "Katania. I'll explain it to you later. For now. Just let your mother be." Jason said, showing Katania outside. Jason followed her outside and closed the door. I felt upset and I didn't want Katania to live without a mother. "Star Princess before me. Please come. I need your help." I said, looking into the darkness. Light shined from my necklace and created a door. A woman walked out and stood in front of me. "You called?" The woman said, looking at me. "What would happen if I went outside into the sun even after I stayed outside for three days?" I asked, looking at her. "If you do. Then you will never see again." The woman said, looking at me. "There has to be a way I don't have to be inside every three days." I said, looking down. "There is. You have two choices. Either you give your child the power of stars or you wait till the day after the Star Solstice to be able to go outside everyday." The woman said, looking at me. "I can't do that to Katania. I'll wait until the day after the Star Solstice." I said, as the past Star Princess disappeared. "Tomorrow is the Star Solstice. The shortest day of light time of the year. "Mom! There's people outside the barrier. It's starting to crack!" Katania said, running into the house and over to me. The sun blinded me but I could tell Katania was scared. "Go round up all the children and have Alina, Samantha, and Cathy stay with you and the other children in this house. There's a special barrier that no one can break through. It took me years to perfect. There is only few people who can go beyond the barrier." I said, grabbing my cloak. "Mom don't go outside. It will hurt you." Katania said, grabbing my hand. "I can't let them hurt you or anyone else I care about." I said, looking at Katania. "Please do what I said." I said, looking at Katania. "O-okay." Katania said, running off. I put my cloak on with my hood up and shielded my face from the sun.
