The legends claim that the Star Guardians would be summoned in times where the Universe was in peril at the hands of terrible evil, and the stars themselves were in danger. As one Star Guardian faded, another would take their place. Chosen for their strength, resolve and courage, the Star Guardians were to protect all galaxies and stars. Many planets have been saved by countless brave defenders, unbeknownst to the inhabitants. Guardians are said to work to blend in to the world of the planet, so their identity may be kept secret.
The legends also talk of the rare occasions in which a Star Guardian would rebel against her fate of servitude to the Universe. The cataclysmic shakes in the history of the Universe exist because of such girls. However, these rebels are unable to continue on living without using their powers for very long, so a new Guardian would replace her as she faded and the Universe would be put back in order.
That being said, one particular legend described a peculiar case in which the Star Guardian team of the time experienced greater trauma from a rebel than any other, and the Universe almost collapsed under the hands of evil.
The legend began with the summoning of the new team of Star Guardians. Plucked from their homes and thrown into a world of power, magic and wonder, the five girls fell towards a new planet; Earth.
"Leader!" Lux heard a voice in her head, one new and unfamiliar. Softly, she let her lids part and light filled her pink irises. Her first thoughts, predictably, were of her location and the identities of those around her. Gasping, she realised she was falling from the sky. Information flooded into her head, somehow explaining that she had been chosen to become a Star Guardian, leading a team consisting of herself, girls named Janna and Jinx, and two yordles named Poppy and Lulu. Where this came from, she couldn't fathom.
"Leader!" More clearly, she heard the voice again. She looked up to see a green-haired yordle. Her brain recognised this as "Lulu". Around her, she noticed a blue-haired yordle. Poppy. Lux was astounded. She identified a purple-haired girl as Janna, leaving the final red-haired girl to be Jinx.
She couldn't believe it. For years, growing up, all she had wanted was to be chosen as a Star Guardian. Her planet had been saved multiple times by the Star Guardians and she had admired them greatly. Of course, she never knew who they were, them having their whole "secret identity" thing, but she had wished to know them. A young girl with promising magic skills, Lux had grown up dreaming of becoming such a thing so much that it had bordered on obsession. A day didn't go by where she didn't wish to be able to use her gifts to help others. She recalled one particular day with her friend Quinn, where they had fought about Lux's chances of becoming a Star Guardian.
"I'm sure we'll find him somewhere." Lux reassured her friend.
"No we won't! He's gone!" Quinn protested.
"How can you be sure?"
Quinn crossed her arms. "He's a bird, he won't come back." She flicked a strand of hair out of her face and pouted. "This is why you'll never become a Star Guardian. You can't even find Valor!"
Lux stopped walking and turned to her friend, the hurt blaringly obvious in her eyes, despite her attempts to cover it with a witty remark. "At least I wouldn't lose my stupid bird."
"Did you just call Valor stupid?!"
"Yes, and you can find him yourself!"
Quinn was the only person who knew of Lux's dreams, as she was too embarrassed to let any others know. If only Quinn could see me now.
Her flashback was abruptly ended as she realised she was still falling through the air. She became more panicked as she realised that Jinx had begun to light up and turn to brilliant white crystals that then disappeared, and the other girls were beginning to do so too.
What do I do? She thought frantically, realising that through all her dreaming and researching, she hadn't actually ever planned for this moment. She never knew something like this would happen. She tried to cry Jinx's name, but her voice was lost in the wind blowing relentlessly from below.
Once Jinx had fully disappeared, she felt like crying. It had been mere seconds since she had become a Star Guardian, and one of her team members was already gone? It took a maximum of two more seconds for the other three to disappear as well. Lux had reached up towards them, hysterical and terrified. She began to feel a tingling feeling and noticed that she, too, was disappearing.
The others had looked so calm and peaceful, their eyes still closed, while they dissipated. Lux wondered desperately how they could have been. Was she meant to stop this? Was it a test? Had she failed? Would relaxing actually help? Questions buzzed like bees in her mind, and she tried to relax. Time seemed to slow down, letting her feel every cell in her body individually become crystallised. She couldn't believe that this was how she was going to end. The idea of this being a dream suddenly crossed her mind. But could one create full characters in their own dreams? Surely she couldn't have created this sensation of being turned into tiny white crystals. As the milliseconds ticked slowly by, she began to realise that there was no way this could possibly be classed as a dream. Nor could it be dubbed a nightmare. It had to be real. She couldn't tell if this was death, but she was definitely scared that it could be. She sighed softly and looked up at the lights above her. It truly was beautiful, the sky. She was honestly grateful to experience it like this. She decided not to accept this as her death and called out helplessly, squeezing her eyes shut as she felt her whole body crumble into brilliant white crystals that floated into nothingness.
A/N: Hello! Thanks for reading. I'm really interested in the new Star Guardian stuff and I have a full story idea based loosely off the "Burning Bright" music video and the skin set as a whole. I'm not a good updater, but I'll try my best to get this up if people really enjoy it. Thank you, and don't hesitate to leave a review! I'd appreciate no flames, but constructive criticism is welcomed, and of course if you like it, you can say that too. Thanks again for reading!
