Dreams are like stars...
you may never touch them,
but if you follow them they will
lead you to your destiny.

When I was born...I didn't cry like normal children where supposed to do. When children were born their skin would be pink, but I was born deathly pale, not even my cheeks were red.
What was more confusing was my appearance, I looked very much like my mother, but so so much different. My hair was pure white and my eyes were empty dulled brown eyes.
My parents sought help from the celestial spirit king who was a close friend of my mother. The celestial spirit king came with his 12 zodiac warriors to my parents house the moment he heard the news.
"Please your majesty" my fathers voice was raw and hoarse from all the crying he did but he didn't take notice of his voice. "Can you please save our daughter?" Before the spirit king could answer, Aquarius a worrior of the king asked why they couldn't just try for a new child. When she asked this, my mother started crying heavier. "The birth was too hard for my body...I cannot give birth to another child ever again"
The celestial spirit king was deep in though for a while before an idea came to him.
He came up to my mother and stroked my cheek and smiled at me.
"Me and the Zodiac will give her each a gift from us. Gifts that will help her in her life, you could see this like a blessing." The king looked at my parents with a serious look. "If you give me permission of course." The king didn't have to ask twice before my parents said yes.
"Anything, as long as my daughter will live and be happy."
The king nodded before he instructed my mother to lay me down in my crib, she did what she was told and stepped back into my fathers arms.
Aries the lamb came first to give me her blessing. "As a gift from me to you, I give you mercy, as a sign of your faithfulness." Pink smoke clouded me before it sank under my skin.
After Aries had give me her blessing and walked back Taurus the golden bull came to my crib.
"As a gift from Taurus, I give you the willpower of over 1,000 men!" My eyes shone a mighty gold before the light dimmed and my eyes came back to the dulled ones I had.
Taurus steppet back and let Gemini the twins to step forward. When the twins came to my crib Mimi widened her eyes. cute. The twins looked at each other and smiled. They knew the perfect gift. Gemi steppet to my right side while Mimi on my left, they held hands above my head while they chanted their blessing. "We give you loyalty, it's easy for people to trust you." A strong wind blew past us before it settled down.
After Gemini walked back, Cancer stepped forward. "As the sensitive Zodiac warrior I am, I give you the golden vision, that allows you to see the beauty in everything and everyone, ebï." When he said that a golden circle appeared on my forhead before it sank down onto my eyes, there my eyes started to get tiny golden spots in that looked like stars. Now my eyes didn't have that boring dulled brown, but a rich joyfilled chocolate brown with stars in.
After Cancer, Leo the lion the leader of the Zodiac stepped forward. He took of his shades and went on his knees while he hold one of my tiny fists. He whispered so low that only the wind would hear, "I give you a pure heart, that can separate the good and evil in every living creature." A bright light came from our joined hands before it traveled down onto my skin. Leo raised on his feet and stroked my forhead before he went back in line and took on his shades back.
After Leo, Virgo came. Her face was blank but people could see happiness in her eyes. She raised her and and let it glow with different colours red,blue,purple and so on where it swirled around each other. She let er hand be over mere centimeters above my face where she started to chant her voice monotone. "You will grow into a beautifull woman, with porcelain skin and hair so golden that looks like a rive of stars. Your smile will outshine the sun and eyes burn with a vibrant fire. Your laughter will make the saddest people smile." While she chanted, the colourfull glow in her hand expanded, where it covered my whole body before it disappeared, I had no longer white hair or deathly pale skin, but golden hair and healty pale skin with small red apples on my cheeks. Virgo bowed to my parents and the celestial king before she went back to stand with Leo.
Libra smiled at the celestial king and bowed before she went to me. "You will meet hardship in the future dear child, so I will give you something that will help you." Libra took her thumb and pressed lighly at my stomach while she spoke softly "Balance is something everyone needs, but many can destroy it easy, therefore I give you the gift of understanding and patience." I let out a small whimper but I fall asleep quickly.
Scorpio came after Libra, he grinned at me before he closed his eyes and started concentrating. "You will grow and you will be fearless, it's going to be hard to make you afraid but, you will also be temperamental." small signs appeared on my body before they vanished in thin air. Scorpio opened his eyes again and smirked before he nodded at my parents and stepped back.
Sagittarius laid down his bow and arrows before he went to my crib. He took his palm and laid them on either side of my body and murmured softly, low but loud enough so that the others could hear. "You will be confident in what you are doing, and you will always put other people before you. I bet that you will grow up curious and always seek for adventure, therefore I will give you a creative mind. A creative mind that will help you in later years." His palms glowed a faint light before it disappeared in my back. He stepped back and retrieved his bow and arrow before he sat on the ground where he sat since he came.
Capricorn stepped forward and bowed to the celestial king before he turned to my parents "May I hold the child?" My mother smiled at him and nodded "Just watch his head." Capricorn nodded before he turned to me and picked me up gently. "As you have gotten many gifts to help you with the future and your personality, I will give a personality trait that will often give you trouble, but will also be of help. You will be loving and striving. When you have first started something, you will finish it. you never say no to challenges." A white blending light started from my head and went down onto my legs and stopped at my toes before it disappeared. Capricorn laid me back down onto my crib and went back.
Aquarius steppet forward with a cold facial expression but it soon meltet when she saw me. "Aren't you a cute little baby?" she cooed but soon her face turned cold again when she saw that people where looking. She cleared her throat. "You will grow up independent and proud, you don't like to worry other people with your problems. You will be very intelligent and quite the observer. You will be damn stubborn and persistent." Aquarius eyes startet to glow a faint blue light while she stroket my cheek before it disappeared. Aquarius reluctantly walked away from me to stand beside Capricorn.
Pisces, the mother son duo came forward in their human forms where they where standing side by side. the mother inhaled while the son exhaled before they started chanting. "your imagination will be big, and you will believe in your friends too such an extenct that is memorable." A dark blue and white light melted together over my abdomen before it diseppeared in thin air. Pisces went back to their spot.
The celestial king stepped forward and cradled me in his arms. "You have gotten many nice blessings from my warriors, that will help you in the future. I know that you will grow up and think of us as your family, and we are going to think of you as our family too. I myself have a blessing to you that I hope you will use for good use." The celestial king looked at my mother and smiled at her. "And I hope that you will take care of my warriors and love them as much as I do" The zodiac looked worried at the celestial king. What was he talking about? A golden light surrounded the king of stars so bright that no one could see inside what is happening. "Therefore I'll give you 12 keys, golden keys that opens a gate each to my warriors into this world." The light disappeared and I was back in my crib. The celestial king was standing beside my crib, 12 golden keys in his hand. The spirits looked wide eyed at the king. He couldn't possibly? To a human child? "I give you my 12 Zodiac worriors, take care of them and then they will take care of you." The king smiled at me and dropped the keys inside my crib.
"My king!" Leo rushed forward "you are giving us to a human child? I though you said youself a long time ago that you will only give us to someone who is strong enough to handle us, but a child?" "Leo, my friend I know this is a lot to take in, but I have this feeling. A feeling that it will be okay to give this child your keys." Leo didn't say anything but bowed his head and went back to the others.
The celestial king turned to my parents and smiled warmly at them. "The child will live, and be strong and beautifull." My mother cried in happiness while my father thanked him. "but..." my parents looked at him in question. "Because her magic is so rare, it is important that you are holding a low profile, let her practice her magic, but don't let other people see. Live near a village where you can get supplies, it is best if you live in the forrest and grow your own food." my parents nodded and thanked him.
The celestial King bid goodbye and promised to come every year on my birthday. Then he and the zodiac spirits were gone.
