Dear Journal,
Tonight was a rough night for me and Lucky. It was finally the night we'd all been waiting for; the first night of the Festival of Wishes. As the sky grew darker, all Galaxy Soldiers and Star Warriors gathered around, waiting impatiently for the comet to appear. Among the whispers of the warriors, I gazed up to the Eastern skies, watching the clouds make their way into covering the stars in patches. Within those faraway painted voids, three bright colored lights danced into view- my good friends, the Guardians of Nebula, Chenoa, Aurora and Rivara. I've known them almost as long as I can remember- it feels like an eternity ago when we first met.
It was when Dark Matter invaded our home. My dearest friends and I were all separated, and I never saw Marx or Miralune since. I now know that Midnight escaped alive and well, but my greatest friend, Stella…it pains me to even write her name, knowing the worst turned out for her. That chaotic being of darkness, I fear its name so much- especially since it ripped her from my forever. I still remember that last glimpse of her, with its limbs at her throat- even thinking of that gives me the shivers. And it was coming for me next. I was sure it was the end for me- that was when the Guardians saved me. I don't really remember what happened after, up to the moment I woke up in their secret chamber and found out this was now my home.
During my first moons with the Guardians I felt like a mistreated servant, and I distrusted them. That was until Chenoa pulled me aside one night and said: "Magolor…although my sisters think otherwise, I really do find you something quite special." From that moment, I only trusted her, and then the others came around to me. But I never told them about what happened to any of my friends. The invasion of Dark Matter took a huge toll on me, and I often found myself falling into intense panic attacks, especially upon hearing the words "dark matter." Although she probably never knew the cause, Rivara always helped me get through the toughest of these times. Aurora, however, has always been tough on me about it, and acts as she is much more powerful than I. Well, I suppose she is a Guardian with immense power over most other creatures, but still…it felt very much like an abuse of that power at the time, and it might've even made my panic attacks worse. These panic attacks still haven't faded on me after all these years, although they have lessened greatly. Aurora is a lot easier on me as well, but who knows when she'll find it necessary in her intelligent mind to act up on me again.
Thinking of all this time I've spent with the Guardians, all because I lost Stella…I suddenly saw her amongst the stars. It was unbearably overwhelming for me. Not wanting to give away the secret of her and how much she meant to me, I made a run for a place to hide, where I wept uncontrollably. My friend Lucky eventually found me, and I forced myself to confess. He got pretty emotional upon this reveal, and I'm not sure if it was exactly worth it. I just hope he never tells anyone- not even the Guardians.
-Your buddy, Magolor
