Here is the next theme- Light.


If anyone asked Brandon what he thought of when he thought about light, he would not answer, "The sun," or, "The moon," or, "The stars." He wouldn't even answer "Solaria." No, if asked what he thought of when he thought about light, he would answer, "Stella."

It wasn't just because Princess Stella of Solaria, the crush of every boy in the Magic Dimensions one time or another, was the Fairy of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. It also wasn't because she hailed from the land where the sun never set. It was because Stella was his girlfriend.

Stella was the light of Brandon's world. Whenever he was feeling down, she was always just a phone call away, and he'd brighten just at the thought of hearing her light and cheerful voice. Whenever he told jokes (which even he admitted weren't very funny), she always humored him and laughed. Whenever she did a fashion show, he'd always be in the front row for her and she'd always do an extra twirl for him. Her energy was contagious, and he always found himself with a smile on his face whenever she was next to him.

Brandon loved everything about Stella. He remembered the year when he'd first met her, and he'd pretended to be Prince Sky. He remembered that despite his deception and him not really being a prince, she loved him anyway. He also remembered their time in Downland when he'd almost been forced to marry Amentia. Despite her weakness from being underground away from the sun, Stella had still fought for him.

Riven might tease him about letting Stella run wild, but Brandon didn't care. It was that wild, happy, freeness that he loved about Stella. "She's the light," he'd tell Riven. "You can't control her, you just bask in her warmth and love her." And besides, Riven's relationship with Musa wasn't exactly what Brandon would call stellar, though it seemed to work for the two of them.

No, Brandon would never changed Stella for the world. He meant it when he said she was his light- sometimes he felt like his world revolved around her, and he wouldn't have it any other way. Once his reason for waking up was to protect Sky, and his reason for sleeping was so that he might get stronger. Now his reason for waking up was to see her smiling face and hear her happy voice that day, and his reason for sleeping was so that he could dream about her.

People might say that he was obsessed. Brandon said that he was in love. Some people couldn't understand how Brandon could put up with her energy from day to day. Brandon would simply ask them how they could put up with the sun shining.

That's what Stella was to him. She was his shining sun, the one who lit up his day. She was his silver moon, the beautiful, elegant creature that shone gently upon him. She was his stars, the diverse, sparkling little lights that peppered his life. Brandon was the land, and Stella was the sun above him, the moon that circled him, and the stars that twinkled across the vast sky.
