Hoshi no Yume
Book One – Coming Storm
Chapter 14
Where does one belong?
"Each Friend represents a world in us; a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by meeting that a new world is born." Anais Nin
Hoshi felt like she was dreaming. This place, the Forbidden Island, was strange and almost completely unreal. There was no light, but shadows stretched in every corner. Lions with fiery manes stalked the strangely paradise-like jungles beyond main city. Dragons flew under the clouds, their iridescent wings shining almost like starlight.
And Hoshi loved it. She loved the Dragons, she loved the Fire Lions, and she loved the red sky. The one thing she didn't love was it's ruler. Yes, he was better at leading than Dedede, and yes, he was (she would never admit this to anyone) attractive, but he had an almost … evil vibe. She didn't like it. Strangely, he was the only person she felt totally comfortable around, despite the creepy vibe. She never felt comfortable around anyone back in Dreamland. Not even her overly protective brother.
But his mind seemed occupied. He would absentmindedly answer her questions, and often she saw him roaming his dark colored castle as if he was dizzy. Yet still every person on the island respected him. They often refer to him as "Meta Knight-Sama", which she figured was a term of honor or something.
Hoshi glanced around, her robin blue eyes taking in the shadows. Despite Meta Knight calling her an "Honorable Guest", no one really trusted her. Still, she felt like this is where she belonged. Dreamland was behind her (for all she knew, it could very well be. She didn't actually know where she was on the map), and she was on an island of legends.
"Are you Meta Knight-Sama's guest?" Someone suddenly asked Hoshi, surprising the female Waddle Dee. The speaker was a girl with bright albino hair and red eyes, pale skin, and large black cat ears. She was dressed in dark purple armor with gold edges, and the symbol of the girl's master; an M with a sword piercing it.
Hoshi nodded, blinking in surprise as the girl gently held her hand out, as if to shake.
"I am Andromeda." the girl said, still holding her hand out. Hoshi took it, smiling.
"I'm Hoshi." The Waddle Dee responded, smiling. Andromeda's face remained emotionless, but she nodded.
"Are you a Star then?"
"What?"
"Hoshi means Star in our language."
"Oh, I guess that's what it means in mine too, since we speak the same language and all."
Andromeda nodded, walking away. She waved over her shoulder. "We should browse the market sometime. Just us, since there are not many girls in this castle that are not servants."
Hoshi nodded, smiling. Back in Dreamland, she never had any friends. Now here she had just made a friend within two days.
Maybe she really did belong here.
Here on an island of shadows.
Blurg… No one is allowed to bug me about how long this took. Or if I need to update any other fictions. I BROKE MY OLD LAPTOP, LARRY. REST IN PEACE LARRY. So this was typed up on my new computer. I lost all previous data on every single one of my fictions, so it'll take some time to retype…
Please, if you wish, tell me about an OC of yours and your favorite song. RAP IS NOT ALLOWED. Well… I guess you could, but that OC would get kicked out of what I have ready before you know it.
Kirby163: You are gonna love the part she has in this series. --- Don't matter to me. I just need some OCs!
Yera-Roo: More like Miko Fumu.
Starrgrl24: NO THIS WILL NOT BE A FUMU X META KNIGHT X HOSHI FICTION. Fumu doesn't even like Meta Knight (in this universe).
ChocolateCheese08: The quote was "You followin'?" by Kirby. The original quote was done by Boggart.
BDun: OMG SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME. And Meta Knight's past will be revealed later on in the series. Same for Dark Matter.
Dimentio713: Then you'll love the part I wrote out for him. And thank you!
