Starlight Solace
Recap Chapter: Previously on Starbourne...
Load Full StoryNext ChapterSky Blue, in a raging thunderstorm of chaos, while trying to fly gracefully through it, failed miserably. As a result, she was struck in the left wing by a humungous bolt of lightning, which could not have been made from the electricity of the raindrops. She fell from the skies of her hometown of Cloudsdale and into a small daisy patch, which shouldn't have broken her fall.
What actually broke Sky's fall was her belief in spirits, which caused one of them to save her life. After Lucilia the Aurora Spirit Pegasus came to Sky in a strange dream, she, for the rest of it, warned Sky about great danger, as well as told her to find some new friends and form a quest party of five heroes. She was able to do this, the other four heroes being each of a different species. The five of them, altogether, were Sky Blue the Pegasus Filly, Reznor the Earth Pony Colt, Zillie the Zebra filly, Lucian Flash the Unicorn Colt, and... Geno the Gryphon Doll that could turn into any real OR doll creature at will.
During the meetings of each of these new friends, Sky learned something very important about her quest: Things like friendship lessons, intuition building, and verbal communication. Examples include as follows, in the next few paragraphs.
When Sky first met Reznor, he told her she looked like she fell from the Celestial Plane, which she thought was a flirty move. It was actually just a comment on her injuries, the concept of which he had to explain to her.
When she first met Zillie, Sky was introduced to the young zebra by her then newest friend Reznor. The three of them had all had similar dreams that same night, and so they determined what they should do as resting again before searching for the other two heroes.
When Sky first met Lucian, the at that time four heroes, including the newly determined Unicorn Hero, all shared a conversation about the gravity and importance of their epic quest. Said conversation ended with some farewells, including a heartfelt but rudely ignored goodbye from Aurora Flash to her young and heroic Unicorn brother.
Geno, oddly enough, despite being a doll, was having a dream about that very same quest, just to ensure that he, and not his REAL Gryphon brother Gaz, could go on the adventure. Gaz was too afraid anyway, so... it all worked out perfectly... except that they were supposed to find SIX Aurora Hearts and they only found TWO of them!
Aaannd... that's it! The rest is History! Oh, wait! No it's not! It's the FUTURE!!!! Can Sky Blue and friends find the remaining three Hearts of Aurora, form the missing link between those five and the sixth, and save the universe? Or will the Overseer and Shadestar succeed in their plan to destroy the universe and create an evil one to replace it? Will Aurora Flash disguise as Enigma Flare again? Will you ever get tired of reading these questions?
