An rather old woman roam the forest, searching for someone. Her long slivery hair matched the color of stars, her body was frail and weak, but have somehow amazing will power. Her long wooden walking tick, helping support her body. The stick was cravened with long river like designs. Looking up at the sky, the woman smiled, showing two different eye colors. One matching the color of light and the other matching the color of darkness. The old woman could feel death upon her, but she knew her time hasn't come yet, not yet, there was one more thing to do before crossing over. Meeting loss love ones, her mother, and many others she wished she could say I loved you more often. She shook the thought away, no wanting to dwell on it. "It has to happen.." her voice elegant even when time dare to ruin it. She walked a few more paces before leaning against a tree and collapsed onto the grassy ground. Her body was too weak to move, but her mind fought, becoming sleepy, she slowly shut her eyes.
Feeling soft small hands, the old woman woke up, feeling the rays of the sun on her wrinkled face. She slowly open and closed her eyes before looking down, seeing an 5 year old girl. Sitting on her lap, the woman noticed the girl had short black hair matching the night sky, eyes deep like the abyss, she wore an white Sunday-dress. "My my, what a lovely little girl you are.." she saw the girl flinched from her voice. "I'm Lit, what's yours?" she asked. She watched the girl muttered out her name but it wasn't loud enough for Lit to hear.
"I'm...I'm..Starlit.." she said quietly, but enough to hear. Lit smiled and moved few stray hair out of Starlit's hair face. She felt sudden pain, her time was almost up. She struggled to move her other hand and placing it onto of Starlit's head. The girl was confused, but didn't stop the old woman.
"Starlit..on your tenth birth year...your powers will be waken, but not all of them.....you'll have a special part in this world and what may become. Accept those, even if their not yourself, do that, your life and many others will be safe." her hand glowed, causing the girl pain, but Starlit couldn't get away from this woman's hand. She tried her best, but something stir, she didn't know what, but finally she was free. Looking at the old woman, she watched her slowly shut her eyes for the last time.
"Starlit! Starlit!" a woman yelled. Searching through the forest that belonged to their backward. The woman finally spotted the girl, seeing the child run and hugged her knees, scared. "What's the matter?" she asked, kneeling down hugging her offspring. The girl whispered something to her ear, shock. "Starlit, go to your father." The child obey and ran towards their home. The mother waited till she was gone from her sight. Walking towards where Starlit was at, she can upon on..nothing.."Must be the child's imagination." she walked away to ease he husband and child stress.
Without knowing it, the body of the old witch turned into small glittery stars. Waiting for the time to come to the skies at last, things where stirring, old, new things, things that was forgotten.
