Normal POV

"Are you sure?" A man's voice asked as he looked at a craving on a stone wall.

"See for yourself, she has the necklace, the green gem, and a baby griffon. She's the one, I sensed it the moment I touched the necklace, she's the one."

Buttercup's POV

I was sitting in a giant barrel tub, Fang laid by the door, not letting me out of my sight. I sighed looking up at the ceiling, my knees to my chest.

"Just what have I gotta myself into...unless that nun is crazy...but a griffon, giant spiders, winged lizards, and...am I on another planet...in that case...maybe I could fly out...but...no that's stupid..I could be millions of miles away...even with my speed...It could take years or worse...I might end up more lost forever in Space. What if this is the future? Or the past, I've traveled in the past before but I had a robot. Another dimension...maybe...oh man where is the Professor when you need him. How will I get back home? I really step in it this time." That's when I remembered the gem.

I stepped out of the tub, after drying off, put on the clothes that Muriel left for me. They were green shorts and a long sleeve blue shirt, that once again, stops at my belly button, thank goodness she didn't wash my belt. I put my sneakers on and walked out of the room, Fang flew into my arms. I was kinda ok with that, I needed something to hug right now. I think...this reminded me of...a church...or maybe a very small cathedral...I've seen them in movies.

That's when I saw it, this weird statue...right in front. That's when Muriel appeared from behind a door, she smiled, "I hope you and your friend are hungry, I made a huge meal."

I sat in front of a table, everything smelled good even if I didn't know what it was. Muriel even had a dish out for Fang, who was devouring everything in sight on his plate and lapping up water like it was nobody's business. Across from me was this friendly old man, who might have been a few years older than Muriel, he had kind grey eyes, and a full head of gray hair, minus the bald spot in the middle, and he kinda was wearing a priest's outfit.

"Oh my, well it's not really surprising since he wouldn't leave your side the entire time," The Old man laughed as Muriel placed the plate down, she revealed bite marks on her wrist, and he held his hands up, revealing his wounds.

"Sir, I'm so sorry about that-"

"Oh no, please. My name is Mark and I believe you met my sister Muriel," He smiled, as Muriel placed a big plate of this stew in front of me, "It is Lemuh Lentila stew, it's delicious."

I took at slip and I think I found a new favorite food, I grabbed the whole bowl and gulped it down, I blushed as the two looked at me shocked, but they just laughed.

"I knew I like this girl, what am appetite?!" Mark laughed as Muriel gave me another helping, "Have as much as you like, we've made plenty. And don't worry about your friend, he was protecting you, it's one of the finest qualities of a griffon. You must be an excellent trainer, miss..."

"Buttercup. No, I didn't train him, I saved him from some hunters and he saved me from a spider. But I'm sorry about the bite marks, he bites me too if it makes you feel any better."

Muriel smiled as she was taking a spoonful of soup, "You know my dear, griffons don't always take such a shining to people, especially the babies and especially his species."

I felt like they were going somewhere with this, "He's not for sale." I said as sternly as possible.

"Oh no, not that, what Muriel was trying to say...is that is a Star Sphinx Griffon, they are the rarest of the rare, they have a mark in the shape of a star...of course this one is too young but...but...he's will show up soon."

"How about some dessert? I have made some-"

That' when this lady came bursting through the door, she was middle age, like a housewife and a gossiper, I could just tell.

"Is it true! Muriel...is it?"

"Bridgette, please we have a guest-" She interrupted Mark.

"Mary just told me that you brought a stranger here with a Star Sphinx Griffon...and a very strange stranger...with a necklace and a green gem...is it true? The whole town is a buzz...is it...is it...I just have to know...is it the Star Goddess?"

Star Goddess...that's what...what that man kept calling me.

The two looked shocked and Muriel cleared her throat as she got up, "Now Bridgette, you really must stop gossiping...as you can see...there is our guest...who was wounded and now we were about to have some dessert-"

This Bridgette chick was suddenly in my face, "You...you can't be the Star Goddess...the Star Goddess is a radiant beauty...but you are very pretty, if you got that hair out of your face...oh my, "She saw Fang jump into my lap, purring and hitting my necklace with his paws, and her eyes widened, she backed away, fanning herself, "A disguise...oh my a disguise...very clever your...your...godliness...oh my...oh my...it is her...and I just bad mouth you..."This Bridgette bowed to the ground, "Oh Star Goddess please have mercy on your humble servant...I had no idea...how clever you are...please...do not call the heavens down on me or this town...maybe except on Mary or Micha who I know stole my shawl..."

Muriel pulled her up off the floor, but Fang jump off my lap the same time I jumped up. My gem and my belt were both glowing bright, I just ran out.

My mind was spinning in circles, everything...all of this...I felt so dizzy...I just needed some fresh air, but as I walked out of the door, so many people...were bowing to the ground.

"This can't be happening." I shook my head, the gem and my belt just shot energy beams into the sky.
