Celeste had grown up to be a happy and playful young girl at age of 5 who loves to see new things every day, Nathaniel and Elanna were happy to see their little girl growing up every day to see what's new in the village.

"Where are you going today sweetie?"

"Daddy, let me go!" Celeste laughed loudly as Nathaniel let her go as Elanna stood with her husband "Now listen to me and your mother Celeste, I just wanted you to be careful. Bad things can happen to you and we're just nervous about that; you could get lost, you could get hurt or even get killed."

"Ok dad, I know that now. Don't talk to anyone that I don't know, ok ok daddy can I go now?"

"Ok then Celeste, I know you wanted to be careful while you playing on your own or with your friends."

"Ok then dad, can I go play now?" Celeste asked ad Nathaniel chuckled.

"Be careful out there Celeste."

"And stay away from bad people that you don't know who they are, you don't know what they can do to you. You can't trust them."

"Got it." Celeste went off to play as Nathaniel knew what he had to say to Celeste before she's out of sight.

"And stay on the path I marked for you."

"Nathaniel, who would I know who said that once?"

"What? who Elanna?" Nathaniel asked.

"You did, from where you were at Celeste's age." Elanna nuzzled Nathaniel's chest.

"That was a while ago Elanna, but I remember that so well." Nathaniel hugged his wife til Elanna pined him on the ground.

"You remember me pining you on the ground, when I was at Celeste's age." Elanna and Nathaniel made up a kiss as they were on the ground.

Celeste was in the field near her home town to see Lydia had jumped on her they laughed at each other about it.

"I didn't know you were behind me."

"I just wanted to scare you for fun." Lydia replied as she and Celeste got up and they were close to each other.

""I knew you would do that."

"Are you excited for magic school tomorrow?"

"I sure am Lydia, I heard some wonderful things about Dragon Vale Academy. It's the best magic school anyone has ever been."

"One day we'll go there."

"Hopefully one day Lydia, it's a long way there. Father tolled me it was far away from here."

"Really? I didn't know that, but it would be cool if we were there someday."

"Someday, we'll be there together." Celeste smiled at her best friend as they gave each other hugs.

The next day at magic school Lydia and Celeste sat beside each other while Celeste's mother was the teacher and she will be teaching her students about magic on how to use it and how to control it.

"Alright class, today we'll be learning the three steps of magic that has been used at Dragon Vale Academy."

"Hey Celeste and Lydia." whispered a boy from behind them.

"Don't listen to him Lydia."

"Yeah, I don't want to get in trouble. Let's pretend he's not there."

"yeah I agree with you Lydia."

"Now class, what's the three steps of Magic?" Elanna then point at her daughter "Celeste, do you know one?"

"Wisdom."

"Correct Celeste! I'm so glad I have a daughter that is so smart." Elanna wrote on the board Wisdom "Now who else wants to guess the next word?"

"Power."

"Awesome Lydia, there's another smart one. Now who can guess that last one?" Elanna then point at a boy that's across from Lydia and Celeste and is siting beside another boy, one has brown hair and the other one had a green strip of his hair.

"Lydia, they are like us."

"You're right Celeste, they do look like us a little."

"We'll say hi to them later."

"Yeah." Lydia whispered back at her best friend.

"Blance."

"Great work Jack, I really love my students who knows these things."

After magic school Lydia and Celeste walked up to the two boys as they looked at the two girls.

"Hello there."

"Hi."

"We saw that your in our magic class." Celeste said.

"We are, magic is amazing to learn."

"Who are you two?"

"I'm Jack and this is my best friend Tiago, what are your names?"

"I'm Celeste and this is my best friend Lydia."

"Is your mother a teacher Celeste?"

"She is, and a healer."

"Wow I didn't know that."

"Are you two best friends?" Lydia asked.

"Yes we are, me and Tiago are very good best friends."

"Me and Celeste are best friends and we really love being together."

"Same here with Tiago and me, but what we don't like in our class is Max."

"Who's Max?"

"He's the guy who tried to get kids into trouble."

"How do you know he does that?" Celeste asked.

"We see it all Celeste, when you see it with Lydia you will then know it." Jack replied "He can be stupid at times like this, he gets into people's businesses, he is very nosy and he overhears what we say in class."

"Why does he do that?"

"He just does Lydia." Tiago replied.

"Will he do this to us?"

"He might, this guy is a idiot."

"Don't call anyone that Jack, it's not..."

"I know Celeste that it's not nice, but Max is a jerk for what we all know."

"Jerk is not nice to call anyone that..."

"Yeah we know Lydia."

"You can't trust Max, who knows what's up with him."

Later on that day Celeste and Lydia were walking down the village when Max was walking with them.

"Now how can we ditch him Celeste."

"Oh just look at you two girls, you're growing up just like your mothers. You're parents will be amazed, one day you'll be betrothed to a man you trust and Lydia will one day betrothed to a man she trusts."

"Be...what?"

"Betrothed, this is what happens to couple that loves each other very much."

"That means..."

"One day Celeste and Jack will get married, and one day Lydia and Tiago will get married." Max said

"Ewwww."

"Yuck!"

"I can't marry Jack, he's my friend." Celeste whispered to Max.

"I can't marry Tiago, Max he's my friend."

"Yeah, and this will be so weird."

"Well who cares about that girls, you've got allot of magic to learn."

"Well, when I'm adult will be the first thing to go to." Celeste replied.

"That will be the same with Lydia."

"Well in that case you're fired."

"Nice try princess, but only the adult can do that."

"Well, we're the future adults."

"Not yet you won't be adults if you are mean and rude like that."

"Who cares then Max." Lydia pushed Max into the pond as she and Celeste ran away.

"We did it Celeste."

"We lost him."

"He's a jerk anyway Celeste."

"Hey Lydia, Jack and Tiago started calling him that and stupid."

"Well who's the boss now girl." Celeste pined Lydia to the ground as they played around til they were not in the village.

"Oh my gosh Lydia, where are we?"

"I have no clue Celeste, it looks like we're in some kind of ghost town."

"I wonder what this is."

"Our parents never tolled us about that place."

"Let's check it out." Celeste and Lydia then heard growling that sounded like a tiger.

"What was that?"

"I didn't hear anything." Celeste and Lydia stayed quite as a wild cat jumped out of nowhere and started to chase Lydia and Celeste in the abandon field, they ran to get away from the wild cat but he wouldn't stop chasing them.

"Celeste!" Lydia cried as the wild cat was about to attack Lydia when Celeste threw a stick and it it's face as Lydia got to Celeste's side and they ran til they were trapped in a dead end and the wild cat, til Elanna attacked the wild cat as he ran away.

"Mother I..."

"You disobeyed me."

"But mother I..."

"Let's go home."

"Now we're in trouble Celeste." Lydia and Celeste walked with Elanna back to their village.

When they were out of the abandon fields Elanna saw Nathaniel.

"Nathaniel."

"Yes Elanna?"

"Take Lydia home, I have to teach my daughter a lesson for her and Lydia going off on their own in the abandon fields."

"Ok then Elanna." Nathaniel took Lydia and he went to take her home as Celeste looked at Lydia as she looked back at her.

"Celeste!" Elanna called as Celeste slowly walked to Elanna as she stood where her mother was, Elanna looked upset and mad at the same time also she was scared "Celeste, I am very disappointed at you."

"But what have I..."

"You could have been killed, you disobeyed me. And what was worse, you put Lydia in danger."

"I wanted to see if I was strong like you."

"I'm only strong when I have to be, Celeste. Being strong, doesn't mean you go looking for trouble."

"But you weren't scared of anything."

"I was today."

"You were?"

"Yes, I fought I would lose you or Lydia. That is what I was scared of." Elanna replied.

"I guess magic teachers and healers get scared too?" Celeste replied as Elanna nodded "You know what?"

"What?"

"I bet the wild cat was scared of you."

"That's because no one messes with your mother, come here you little girl." Elanna brought Celeste closer as she and Elanna were playing around til Celeste was on Elanna's stomach.

"Mom, we're friends right?"

"Yeah."

"And we'll always be together right?"

"Celeste, let me tell you something about what my mother tolled me. Look at the stars, many people in this village say about these stars make a shape of someone close to you died they're up in the stars, they watch over you til it's your time to join them. This story repeats every time you look at the stars at night; my parents, your father's parents and our grandparents are up in the stars. They look down on us from those stars, just to let you know Celeste when you feel alone just remember all those people you know that are in the stars are here to guide you and so will I."

"Can I play with you today?"

"Sure, but we can't play near the abandon fields."

"It's my doll that I had since I was 4 years old."

"That doll is so cute Lydia, who gave you that doll?" Lydia looked at the doll and smiled "My mother gave me that."

"Look what I had when I was young." Celeste showed Lydia her pendent.
