The Preparation
As Lenora woke up on her floating bed, she looked out her solar panel windows and sat still in awe that she finally got her own planet. Lenora was the youngest of the stars and her only job was to supervise the other stars. Because she was the youngest star she was never really trusted with her own planet because she was too young, but now that she just turned 15, the stars finally decided to let her colonize her first planet.
The stars are the authority of their ginormous empire and all twenty-four stars had their own planet, army, and most importantly they each had a seat at Domain. Domain was a home planet where they would all usually meet and discuss things of utmost importance every once in a while. Most times there would at least be one star missing because each star's schedule is increasingly different day by day.
Each star is very different. Star is the term their people use to identify their kings and queens. Each star also has a unique power. Lenora's power is to take away a person's senses by emitting a dark shadow.
All of the stars have a color to answer to. Early in their lives they all decide to choose a color and the color they chose would forever be their name to answer to and the color they chose also represents their persona. It was forbidden to ever call a Star by their real name, in fact, most stars would keep their name a secret and just go by their according color, Lenora answered to her color which was Olivine. Each star would usually wear its color to represent its court. Each star's court is its entourage. Since each star has a role, their entourage is filled with people who study under them and have jobs that relate to their jobs such as if a star were to be in charge of laws, their court would be filled with lawyers and people who help the star complete tasks around the galaxy that relate to laws. Since Lenora's job was to supervise the other stars, her entourage is filled with many supervisors and people who have been assigned to supervise the other stars.
Lenora was nervous considering that she had to go to Domain for a big meeting but at least she would get to leave her unfinished colony planet and get to see the rest of the stars. "I'm kind of nervous to go to the meeting today.", says Lenora talking to her handmaid as she lifts herself off of her floating bed and walks to her desk. "On," she says as she looks at her monitor, "Show me today's schedule," says Lenora as she fills an olivine-colored cup with water from her miniature fridge under her desk, "Yes my starlight," says a female robotic voice from inside the monitor. As she sips her water and looks at the monitor her eyes turn white.
"The ceremony!" she yells in a panicky voice. "The ceremony is today?!" she says to her handmaid "I thought it was next year!" Lenora had goosebumps all around her face, usually, it takes an entire week to prepare for a ceremony, "I thought you knew and were going to stay on your planet and not go" said the handmaid, "The ceremony is the biggest event that happens each year why would I not want to go?!", Lenora says angrily. "I'm sorry!" the handmaid shouts in a fearful voice. "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted at you", says Lenora. "But seriously, we need to get to headquarters now, and plan our entrance theme", so the handmaid and Lenora make their way down the high tech fortress, out the entrance and hop into their spaceship and speedily float off to their headquarters
"An entrance theme is the grand entrance of each star. Each star has a unique entrance theme like maybe floating reindeer that pull a carriage or even just an organized parade that shoots fireworks, usually, the stars go all out which means we have to also." Says Lenora talking to her entourage as she stands on a table inside her massive headquarters building. "Now the first person to make an acceptable idea get 12000 units" her employees gasped but then quickly started to run off to their cubicles. Each cubical was like a square bubble that floated in the air, "ding", many watches chimed as the employees directed their cubicles to pick them up. "Write your ideas on a paper and when you're done, give it to me," said Lenora as she steps on the staircase that automatically floats up when her foot goes up in the air.
Lenora was hoping that giving them money would motivate them to work faster. Even though her employees were working as fast as they could she still wasn't getting anybody with ideas. Maybe because they want to make sure their idea is good so that they won't have to keep coming back to her? after a few minutes Lenora was nervous. "Eureka!" shouted an employee. As the employee ran up the stairs, Lenora was shaking with excitement. "Here," said the young woman employee as she hands the paper over to Lenora. As all the employees were waiting for Lenora, to tell all of them if she just got the 12000 credits or if they can all keep working, a silence of wonder fell upon the large spacious room. "I like it. Let's use this!" said Lenora to her crowd of employees as they all sighed gloomily. "Dang it!", shouted an employee. "Here's what I promised you", said Lenora as she hands a hard shell briefcase over. "Now let's start making our theme!"
As Lenora stepped out of her headquarters building and onto the hard concrete sidewalk, she took in a deep breath and let the cold morning air fill her lungs. "C'mon Zaida," said Lenora calling her handmaid by her name as a little platform lifts her into her dark green spaceship. Her handmaid Zaida got into the flight deck and the ship hovered above the concrete road, then quickly zoomed off to their next destination
"Contact the nearest fashion clothing maker," said Lenora to the ship. "Yes my starlight", said a robotic female voice from inside the floating monitor in the flight deck. "Ding", a little chime sound came from the monitor and then showed a route to a warehouse where the fashion maker was. "Take us there," said Lenora. The ship quickly turned and in just a few seconds they arrived at a small warehouse. As they began to exit the ship they saw a man with white hair, he was very tall and slim and had very big eyes and the palest skin and looked very unsettling. Lenora wasn't a model herself but this guy was creepy. "He creeps me out" whispered Lenora to her handmaid. "Don't worry I'm a trained fighter and had three years of training so I'll protect you if anything happens", said Zaida reassuring Lenora.
"Come in," said the tall man. "If a may ask, what's your name?", said Lenora, "Damon" he replied. "I already made the bottom half of your outfit." said Damon whilst looking down on them because of how tall he was "Okay well we'll just look around and let you do your work."
After a few hours of sitting and gazing upon mannequins that had some of the finest fabric on them, Damon brought out a beautiful Olivine-colored jumpsuit. The jumpsuit had the most elegant sleeves and felt very soft. It had much detail and had a dark green bow around the waist. The legs of the jumpsuit were flowy and it complimented Lenora too. Speaking of, Lenora had Olivine eyes, thin dark brown hair, and had a height of around 5,4 she wasn't pencil-thin but she wasn't very wide either, somewhere in between.
"Would you like to try it on?" said Damon questioningly, "Yes" Lenora said excitingly.
As Lenora put on the elegant jumpsuit she was surprised at how well it fit and how amazing it looked on her. She was totally starstruck at how impressive it looked. "So how much for it," said Lenora in a serious tone. "How much do you think it's worth?" said Damon while smiling "Maybe 700 units," said Lenora in a bargaining voice, "I know you're rich so 1000 units in the least," Damon said while beginning to grab more fabric. "Fine 1000 units it is," said Lenora in a smug voice while slapping down a 1000 unit check on Damon's table. "Pleasure doing business with you," said Damon while looking at the check to make sure it's real. "Thanks for my new outfit, you're an amazing fashion designer, I think I might just advertise you," said Lenora as she walks out of the warehouse with the jumpsuit in between her arms.
"Ok, so what next?" said Zaida the handmaid as she turns on the flight controls while putting on a headset, "Now we prepare," said Lenora. "Take us back home so we can prepare for the ceremony," said Zaida to the ship. As the ship flew off into the distance Lenora touched one of the little screens on her chair's armrest and said "Advertise title: Damons Fashion. And put it on 6 percent of the billboards of this planet,". "Advertising: Damons Fashion, on six percent of billboards on this planet," said a robotic female voice from inside the walls of the ship.
As they arrived at their olivine-colored fortress they saw a crowd of people dressed in olivine-colored clothing. As the ship descended onto a flight pad Lenora could hear the sound of commotion as the ship opened allowing them to see the crowd better. As a group of soldiers marched into the crowd while pushing out the people in the way in order to make a path for her, the little crowd of people followed her into the building. "My starlight," said a woman while walking aside Lenora, "Yes?" Lenora replied, "We have all the preparations ready for the ceremony tonight," said the woman while showing a short preview of what Lenora's entrance should look like. "That looks amazing, but change the color of the throne to Olivine instead of black, after all, that is my color," said Lenora to the woman in a monotone voice, "Okay, will do," said the woman as she directed the crowd to her in order to share her ideas.
As Lenora finally walked into her room, she directed her handmaid to her so that she could put her outfit on. "Are you excited?" said Zaida as she helped Lenora put on her jumpsuit. "Very," Lenora said in a shaky voice. "Well the ceremony is in 10 hours which means we have 1 hour to get you looking ready, 3 hours to prepare our entrance theme, 1 hour to get all of your entourage ready which will leave us with five hours to do more things or five hours to do something productive," said Zaida as she started to zip up Lenora's flowy jumpsuit. "Okay well then let's get prepared," said Lenora
After almost 8 hours of preparing, Lenora was ready to go into Domain, which was a home planet where the big ceremony was being held. "Okay," said Lenora nervously, "I think it's time to go to Domain," said Lenora to Zaida "Me too," Zaida nervously said as they both walked out of the room and into an elevator. The elevator chimed and the doors opened as they walked in. "Rrrr" the elevator whirred as they descended down. Lenora sighed nervously and said, "Okay... I'm ready," as the elevator doors slowly opened.
