For Zelda6. Thank you for putting up with my slacker ways. Since I have yet bettered 'Blasted,' I present this to you... I'm really sorry for everything.

The Night a Star Fell

Prologue: Then

The night conveys much mystery, similar to the way its ember sheets disguise the sapphire hues of the morning sky. It is a wonder how the stars are held high up in the heavens and why they are placed beyond every dreamer's reach. Maybe that is the reason why when a star falls, people wish upon it... A falling star signifies that one is closer to a certain dream, a certain hope.

I remember a tale my father use to tell me. It is about a supreme being, men, and women, and how the latter two's selfishness caused this God to keep an abundance of the wonderful things on the sky. The stars symbolize each desire that is known to man and woman, and the wise God made it so that one would fall and grant someone's wish in due time...

On this particular night, I find myself standing before my window, anticipating a star's fall. And as if the gods are listening to my silent plea, a falling star has come, its thin fiery tail leaving behind an almost indiscernible trail of golden specks. Mesmerized, I gaze at it before closing my eyes and saying my wish.

They say that when a person wishes on a star, it is usually for himself.

But on this night, I'm not going to wish for myself...

I will be wishing for you...

Author's Notes: How'd you like it? :)"The Night a Star Fell" came out after I realized I had fallen out of love with Bittersweet*. Honestly, this is my first time writing something personal, and I don't know how you guys would welcome it. But I am writing this for those who understand, for those who will understand, for those who try to understand and for myself as well. And even if my goal is to simply reach out and tell a different rendition of "my tale" to others, I hope the fic would be well appreciated by the readers.

BTW, the entire story would be written in first person, present tense form. The first two chapters have already been finished (slight editing and looking out for mistakes) and hopefully, I'll post them soon enough.

I would truly appreciate any comments. Please review if you have the time to do so. ^_^

Thank you for reading. :)
