The Star Who Always Lost Its Shine on a Particular Day
Once upon a millennium, there was a clan of bright stars in the cosmos. All was fine and everything was going on smooth, till one day, something befell on the youngest one. It was just a new-born, as stars take lot of time to turn a year old. It was the brightest of all stars as its light was brighter than that of the rest. The tragedy struck, when it started shining meekly and fell terribly weak at times. And, later on, with each passing time, its light started flickering the way the bulbs flicker at times in the human world before they go out. The rest of the stars begin to get worried for it was considered not normal for a star to have become this way as their light is the symbol and reflection of who and what they are. Then one year, a tragedy stuck the Star Clan when one day, the weak and terribly ill star suddenly vanished without a trace, never to be seen again. It just dropped out of the cosmos as it never existed and the rest of the family started falling like shooting stars in mourning, in lieu of its disappearance, for that star was also the strongest, dearest and most affectionate member of their clan. Even the rest of the Star Clans started dimming their light in mourning as well. Such was the respect and honour of this particular Star Clan. The star was loved by all clans as it was meant to be their guardian as well as peace-keeper. But it seemed as if something else was written in store for it. Even now, if you look at the sky from evening till night, you can still see some stars with their light dimmed as they have all decided to remain in mourning till the star is reunited with them, no matter how long it takes. Little did they know that their beloved star would take birth as a human after years of its disappearance.

But that human would always look towards them whenever he would get a chance and feel a strong pull towards where they all are, in the sky up above.

And, years later, a shocking truth about the human will finally reveal what he/she really is, not only to the entire mankind, but to all the sentient beings in the universe. A truth so shocking that it will shake the beliefs of many known to him as well as those who would get to hear stories of him/her.

The Star Born Again as a Human
After some years, a human was born in a respected and well-known uber rich family. The human was named Alex as it seemed more like a boy than a girl with such angelic features that no one has ever seen. But, little did they know that the human is, in fact, the star reborn, which went missing many millennia ago. People were in for a shock when they saw the human growing up. For, the human looked far different from the rest of the boys or girls of his/her age. The human had an eerily different shine around it and, so did itshis eyes, which were so intense as if they will penetrate right through yours. Everyone started wondering what’s wrong with the human. “Why the human looks so different from the rest of us?” “Is it really one of us or is it from somewhere else?” These were the questions in everyone’s minds. But, no one knew the real story behind the way the human looks, for no one knew why it had such penetrating sad eyes that leave you in a kind of trance and even hypnotize you, making you feel what it feels, at the moment. Oh yes, the human did have that power in it, and, that too a very strong one. And, whenever it wrote a song, a poem or a story, it always had a hint of sadness or pain in it, as if the human had gone through something dreadful or painful, but it was just a kid and its life was going on normal and fine. Everyone was surprised to see the amount of sadness in the human’s songs, poems or stories and they all wondered what makes the human write such sad prose and poetry at such a tender, young age. But, alas, no one had the answer to any of these questions. Except for the old man who lived somewhere in the hills and who knew the stories of old, especially the prophecy concerning the human. Oh Yes! There is, indeed, a prophecy foretold by a very great seer of all times, about this human. The prophecy goes like this:
“After 200 or so years, a star will be born as a human in the 10th month of the 400th year. He/she will be unlike any human anyone would have ever seen, for he/she will have an eerily sad aura and shine around him/her. And, his/her eyes will be filled with so much pain and sorrow that they all will start wondering what’s really wrong with him/her. The soul of the born human will be that of an immortal elemental being, the last of the Moonlight Warriors – Guardians of the Universe and also the Gatekeeper of all the Realms”
*********
Everyone got perplexed on hearing the prophecy. Some were curious to know as to who this human will be or how he/she will look like. Others were excited, and still some were even scared to know that what if some other-worldly being is born as one of them.
Day by day, until the human’s 10th birthday, it started experiencing supernatural and paranormal phenomena. Its psychic powers or shall I say gifts, started to develop at a rapid pace. He/she was unlike any other boy or girl anyone has ever seen. He/she could see things which others can’t. He/she could even sense or feel things which they couldn’t even fathom. He/she doesn’t have just a very few of them, in fact, he has many. To tell you the truth, he is the very own Chosen One, a psychic so strong that no one can ever beat him at any of those gifts; he is that strong, psychically. Over time, he started developing even more of these powers and became so much advanced that it roused fear in one and all. He could not only feel or read the human minds, his race; but he could also feel and read other races and species as well — the Lycans, the cold ones, the shifters and many more, to name a few. No one could really figure out what he/she was.
***********
After 28 years, few more shocking truths got revealed about the human. The human also turned out to be an ancient immortal so strong, that even the cold ones were wary and fearful of it. So much so, that its orders were strictly followed and its suggestions and advice were strictly relied and acted upon. And, it even turned out that the human was not a boy, but a girl!!!! Imagine the shock his parents, family and the people had felt when they realized he wasn’t a boy, but a girl!!! A girl who can disguise herself as a boy, while still being a new-born!!!! That was something very unheard of!!! Indeed, this was the first time something like this even ever happened!!!
Humans and other beings alike, started to distance themselves or avoid her altogether, for no one could truly understand, leave alone, figure out how she could even be an ancient immortal while being born as a human and that too, a girl who can even disguise herself as a boy, while being a new-born?
But there is still one prophecy which has answers to all these questions. The one about the Moonlight Warriors – an immortal warrior race as ancient as the universe itself, the purest of all elemental beings, their blood pure white as that of the moonlight itself. That’s how they came to be known as the Moonlight Warriors, for they were born with the moonlight blood. And, shockingly enough, all the warriors have been females in all these millennia. Born in an unknown place, far from all the solar systems. They are born only once in every hundred thousand millennia. Even their swords are no ordinary ones, for they are also fused with the same moonlight which flows in their blood. That’s the main reason why no one has ever been able to have a glance at how these warriors looked like.
