Chapter 2
Kal El
It was the first day of her "special training." She was to go to the training arena and meet her teacher. When she arrived, she saw a tall man of great physique.
"Hello Princess," he greeted her with a bow.
"Greetings..." She paused so he would tell her his name.
"Kal El, of Krypton," he said proudly. "At your service."
Kal El was a handsome man, maybe four or five years older than Star. He had messy brown hair, giving him a sort of mischievous appearance. Star hoped he didn't notice her examining him so closely. She decided talking would keep her from being distracted.
"Krypton... I have read about it. Is it really true what they say in the books?" She was soon filled with many questions about Krypton. The books described the planet as a place filled with beings who could fly and shoot heat beams out of their eyes. They could also see through solid objects and had super strength. These concepts fascinated Starfire.
Kal El looked at Starfire and smiled. "Well, it all depends. What do these books say about my home planet?"
"They say it is a place filled with wonders; beings with power beyond imagination, with eyes that can destroy buildings, and flight! Oh how I would love-"
Kal El laughed. "Why Princess, that is exactly what we Kryptonians think about Tamaran!"
Starfire looked at him confusedly.
"Uh, you are probably wondering why you have been pulled out of your classes... Umm. This may seem a little off the subject, but it's not. Do you know where this excerpt is from?" Kal El cleared his throat and began reciting...
The first time I saw her, I felt faint. I thought 'did I die,' for she was an angel. But then I realized, what a strange beauty? For this angel, she had no wings. So I asked her, "Oh fair angel, where are your wings?" And she said with a smile, "I need none, for I fly with the light." Her smile mezmerized me. And her eyes... pure emerald eyes. I leaned forward. I couldn't help it. Her beauty enchanted me, and I had to kiss her. And then... Right then... She was gone! All that was left was a shining trail of her wingless flight.
Kal El stopped with a dramatic effect. He looked at Starfire with enchanted eyes, which made her stiffen and grow hot.
"The Wingless Angel... Of course. It is one of my favorite stories. Every Tamaranian knows it."
Starfire did not understand what Kal El was trying to tell her with this poem.
He was staring deep into her eyes. Into those fair emerald eyes. Starfire looked back into his, but soon turned away blushing. "You are trying to teach me something, but I am not smart enough to understand... Forgive me teacher Kal El. I am no queen, or even a princess. I am but a girl..."
Kal El smiled. "Princess, you are being way too modest. I can feel your good energy just by standing next to you! You are the princess, and you will bethe queen. One with a pure heart!" Kal El was beginning to get very excited. Starfire was lost once more.
That was a compliment, was it not?
"Princess, you are The One!That story, what's it about?"
"A man falls in love with an angel with no wings. Love at first sight... When he tries to kiss her, she disappears, and the man lives his whole life awaiting her return."
"Yes, a sad, yet enchanting story. Anyways... An angel with no wings! The story is talking about your people, Princess! Well, to be exact, it is describing your great great grandmother."
"My great great grandmother? She was the angel with no wings?"
"Yes! And so are you."
"Me?"
"You."
"..." Starfire gazed at Kal El as if he was insane.
"But... I... Tamaranians cannot fly. How could my great great grandmother... How could I?"
"That is why I am here, Princess. Your father has informed me that you have been showing signs... Sort of symptoms I guess, that you are the angel."
"What signs? I did not notice anything different in me."
"Your eyes. Emerald-green eyes. Your father tells me that they glow bright green when you become... emotional."
"They do..." Starfire was beginning to understand.
The story... The angel has emerald eyes. Just like me... I have always wondered why my eyes were a different color from the rest of my family. In fact, not one person on Tamaran has emerald green eyes...
"That is one sign. Another is, well, your pure heart!"
A slight blush crept through Starfire's cheeks.
"Everyone who knows you defines you as the beautiful princess with a pure heart. Enough said, don't you think?" Kal El was grinning like a boy.
A handsome boy...
Star blushed immediately as she realized what she was just thinking about.
"Umm... Thank you... I... I am flattered?" Starfire was confused and embarassed at the same time. What was the meaning of all this?
"Okay. We don't have much time. Lets get to the point. You are the er... Chosen One or whateverThat means you are the first Tamaranian since your great great grandmother to possess the eh... godly powers. Which means you can like fly, shoot balls of energy stuff out of your hands, and you're super strong. Uh, yeah. Something like that. Well, I guess I'll find out exactly what your powers are..."
Star stared blankly at Kal El. Apparently, all that information was taking quite a while to be processed.
" So shall we begin?"
Whaaat? I can what! This must be a practical joke. Blackfire must be behind this... but how did she get a Kryptonian? ...this cannot possibly be real!
Kal El studied Starfire's reactions.
Hmm... Well, she seems to be taking it well enough. A bit surprised, but who wouldn't be? ...wow... Beautiful. I thought princesses were only beautiful in fairy tales. Ah! What am I thinking? The king will chop my head off if he finds me drooling over his daughter! Come on, Kal El! Just teach her what she needs to learn and get out of here!
"Did I give you enough time to uhh... absorb all this information?"
"So it is not a joke?" Starfire seemed alarmed.
Kal El smiled. "Far from it."
"Okay, I trust you. What will you be teaching me?"
Kal El was surprised at how trustworthy she was towards someone she just met.
Such a kind soul, but still naive. She can't just trust any stranger. She has to learn to defend herself so she doesn't get hurt and betrayed.
"I'll be teaching you how to use and control your powers. You're going to see me every day, same time, same place, and I'll make sure you become this uh.. angel. Yes. That is, if it is alright with you... Princess."
"Splendid, teacher Kal El." Star said with a beautiful smile.
"Yeah... Splendid." Kal El was of course talking about Starfire when he said this. He had to shake his head over and over to stop gawking at the beautiful girl in front of him. No, not a girl. A princess.
That's right... She's a princess.
"Teacher Kal El, are you in pain?" Star looked genuinely worried.
Kal El froze up when he looked back at her.
Ah! So pretty! I can't resist the urge... I want to kiss her. SO BADLY!
Without realizing, Kal El was slowly leaning in towards Starfire. Starfire just looked at him worriedly.
"NOOO!" Starfire screamed.
-End of Chapter 2-
I guess it's a cliffhanger. Wondering why she screamed? Was it because handsome Kal El has disgusting yellow teeth? Or something else? lol. Find out in next chapter! Oh yeah and any reviews? Feel free to comment. Like I said, criticizing me is ok, but make sure you have support. This way, I can improve my writing and make people happier!
