Astra: Awakening

Starr

I watched as she pulled back her fist, and a white orb formed around her hand. Glowing very, very brightly.

"Nora, you have to go, now!!" I shout to her. "Keep going and don't stop!!"

She stomps on the pedal, and I jump out of the bed. 

"WAIT!! STARR!! NO!!" Leon yells from the inside of the truck. His voice is pained and scared. "NORA STOP!! WE CAN'T LEAVE HER!!!"

"Keep going!!" I shout. "Lucian...what do I do now..."

Imagine a sword.

See it, there in your hand. Feel your fingers grasp the handle.

Now look. In your hand. It's there.

I look into my hand, and see the sword. It was a beautiful sword, too. Silver, yet it glowed purple. Shining beautifully. The blade was straight and pointed sharply, and the cross-guard was made of silver metal, swirling and curving like wind. The pommel was a gem in the shape of a crescent moon. No blacksmith could possibly make something like this. 

Taking it in both my hands, I held it at a ready stance. 

X-752 tilted her head a bit. Like she was mocking me. Then the orb glowed brighter and brighter, growing bigger and bigger. 

"I've been waiting some time to do this." she says, pulling back her arm and running at me.
