Wish: To want, to desire, to long for, to yearn. To hope for beyond all belief. To create with just a simple thought directed to the heavens above. But to wish, my friends, you must first learn to Dream. And then, dear friends, you may search the darkness of the sky for a star worthy enough to make it come true.
Hey guys. Welcome to Moonlit Wishes! I hope you guys'll enjoy the story!
Anyways. I hope you guys enjoy it. I've had this idea for a while now, I just never got the chance to write it.
So here's the (edited) chapter one
Disclaimer: I only own my own characters and the plot
Once upon a moonlit night
Where the stars gleamed bright above
.o.O*0*O.o.
The globe spun lazily, glowing lights illuminating the surface. So many children who believed. So many who would soon forget, but that was how things were. The magic was only known for a short time, but soon it's power was lost on the minds that slowly grew older. Belief was a choice, and not many held onto that decision for as long as they could. But there were some who could hold onto that belief with both hands, unwilling to let go, until their hold slowly began to loosen, the magic slipping through their fingers, nearly impossible to get back. But on the globe lay a single light, a light that had gone out... That none had noticed been brought back, shining it's light in a way it never had. It's light brighter than all the other's across the spinning surface, for it's light wasn't the faint gold of belief like the others'. No. It was as pure and bright as a star shining through the darkness, and none could match the power it held...
"Star light, star bright." Amber eyes focused on the single speck of light that could be seen through the glow of the city lights.
"On the first star I see tonight." Icy wind blew in through the open window, rustling the pages of the many books scattered throughout the room.
"Wish I may. Wish I might." Auburn hair swayed in the gentle breeze that escaped into the room.
"On the first star I see tonight." Silent words permeated the air, ghosts of what was once said, of what was once asked. One more wish before I sleep. One more chance.
"I wish for an escape." I am the only one here that can see beyond what we know. There is magic in this world. I can see it. I can feel it. I wish to be a part of it. I wish to be one with the magic of the world, to soar through the skies, to see the world and all it holds. To see what others can't. Please, if there is anyone out there that can hear me, let this wish be granted, and I will show them all what they have been too blind to see. I wish to be a part of the magic that roams throughout this world, and I will show them all. With one last look to the sky covered by the glow of the city lights that blocked the gleam of the stars, she lay down, and prayed until she couldn't keep her eyes open any longer, that her wish would come true. As her eyes fluttered shut, she missed the bright glow of the lights that shone like no other, lighting up the sky like the stars never could.
With a swirl of golden sand, her dreams became a reality that would be taken from her the moment she opened her eyes. With a sad smile, the little golden man continued on, knowing that soon, he wouldn't be given the chance to hear her voice any longer. He could feel her belief fading, and he hoped he did not soon forget the smile that lit her face the moment she first saw him, even though he sent her straight to sleep afterwords. He had never, in all his years, had someone believe in him for this long. She would be seventeen in just a few short weeks, and yet, she still believed, though not for very much longer, he knew. So he gave her the most magical dream he could, pouring in every wish he had ever heard her make in the darkness before the dawn. He wanted her to at least remember, if she could no longer believe.
Under the Moon's watchful eye, he traveled on, but never going quite as much care into sculpting the children's dreams as he did hers. He flew on, watching the sun's rays peak over the eastern horizon for but a moment, before heading north, away from the city, already missing the feel of the belief she gave, for it held just a slight taste of the magic that she always held within her.
He would miss her, the one who never stopped dreaming, and believed with all her heart that there was a light to be found somewhere, somehow, even when her world was consumed in darkness.
And the single star that shed it's pale light on this small world that we live in, gave one last twinkle into the night, before it was no more, that last magical wish disappearing into the cool air.
Her wish was powerful, and it soared throughout the empty air of the world, searching for the silent whispers on the wind, the magic that was given to the stars but stolen by the hands of time, the spark of light in the darkness and the shadows.
Under the watchful eyes of the Tsar, she slept peacefully, surrounded by darkness, but still shining through. He felt her power, strong enough to even reach his distant home in the moon. He saw in her the power of the stars, and so with the darkness he saw fast approaching, he decided to add a little bit of light.
