"Salvē!" The golden specter repeated. She was in shock. That had to be it. All that tossing around in the water must have shaken her insides around enough to make her see things. She blinked a few times, but he was still there, looking even more confused than her. "Quid...agis?" She rubbed her eyes. Surely her grandfather had been exaggerating, there was no way that the stars looked like- The glowing face of the boy filled her vision, "Valēsne?" She screamed, ripping off her shoe and lobbing it at the intruder. **************** 17 year old Asha can't use stardust to save her life. Born from two incredibly talented parents, she can barely light a candle, let alone summon anything without the help of props. But with the death of her father, their family has fallen from their once prestigious place in society. Desperate to reclaim the king's favor, Asha endeavors to win an apprenticeship under his tutelage. But when she finds her skills lacking, she turns to the stars for help. Sure, Sol has made a few mistakes. You know, the usual kinds of things...like starting a few wars, ending an empire or two, burning down the Library of Alexandria....ok, a lot of mistakes. But now he has the chance to change all that! On a quest to track down the missing Queen Cassiopeia, he crosses paths with a girl from Rosas. And he can't resist granting her wish. Explore the Kingdom of Rosas, a city that glimmers under an eternal sun. Where people can perform magic with the power of stardust, but only by the grace of the king. Where the desire for love will drive some to triumph and others to ruin. Where a girl will meet a star at the place where the sea touches the sky and change everything.
