WARNING: If you have not yet finished playing Aveyond: Gates of Night, I suggest you DO NOT CONTINUE. Thank you for your kind cooperation.
Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated. Please do not hold back if you see errors, major or minor. Thank you for your time! ~ CHAPTER ONE ~ Alienation Stella The Naylithians were happy people. I could see that, since the day I was born. The Naylithians were happy people. They smiled, they laughed, they polished each others' wings, they chuckled, they made peace. I was happy, too. My mother would hug me in her arms, and show me the world on my tiny little blue wings. She would comb through my hair when I was little, and polish my wings. I was a happy person, too. I knew that I was happy, that my life would be one of love, joy, peace and beauty... I thought it would be. It wasn't long before I realized one thing - other than my own mother, with her beautiful lavender hair and bright blue wings just like mine, nobody ever helped me polish my wings. Nobody helped me comb my hair. Nobody talked to me for more than two sentences. Nobody dared come too near me, either... "Why, Mother?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?" "No, there's nothing, little Stella," my mother would have that carefree smile on her lips. The Naylithians are happy people. But I wanted to be happy, too... I wanted them to smile at me, pat my head just like the other children, and ask, "Have you had a nice day, Stella?" Yet, only my own mother actually called me "Stella". The others just called me "girl", "that girl", "that brown Wingless girl"... "But I do have wings, Mother," I complained. "They're just joking, Stella," smiled Mother - her eyes glazed over, blank... And then she would teach me new words by reading me the dictionary. (Pedophile - An older person with a strange liking for small children) But I couldn't help wondering - what's Mother trying to hide from me? Who is my father? Why am I... Wingless? ~ The Naylithians are happy people. I understand now. "Why... Why..." my mother cried, her eyes brimming with tears. "Why can't you just leave Stella out of this?!" I stood there, limply. I didn't know if I was in shock, denial, or in the lack of emotion. I could feel the darkness welling up in the pits of my stomach. I struggled to fight back the tears. "We value peace over everything else!" Theo yelled. "Yet you just have to fall in love with one of those violent Wingless - a magic wielder, none the less! Who knows what kind of violence this girl would grow up to possess? Now we're purposely making it hard for the Wingless to come up here, but it's too late now. You're glad we even let your child stay here!" Aren't they supposed to be peaceful... Aren't they supposed to be happy people... Lies, betrayal. "I tell you - if that girl of yours shows any sign of magic or violence, she leaves!" The Naylithians are perhaps more complicated than you think... But I love this place. My home is here. Now that I knew my father was a human mage... My wings are the only things that tie my life to this beloved place of mine. I just... I just want everybody to be free... and fly like butterflies in the sunlight... ~ The Naylithians were happy people. I could see the dark, green, lethal poison flowing in my mother's system. I yelled, screamed - nothing worked. Nobody believed me that she was poisoned - "She's just ill". And I could feel their eyes on my back, watching me intently, as if waiting for me to do something... "If you don't do anything, Mother will die!" I cried and screamed at the rest of them. "Don't you care at all?! Even if I might not be... My mother's one of you after all, right?!" No response. "Why-..." I turned back to the fainted body of my dying mother, my tears streaming down my face in rivulets. If only I could have the power to save others... what kind of a blessing that would be... The colors of the poison continued to dance around in my closed eyes, as I clutched my mother's hand, crying... I saw the green in my eyes, the green venom in her blood, and I hoped - please turn red again... And there was a blinding flash. And I had this horrible, dreadful feeling that told me - it's the end. It's all over. You'll never be one of the Naylithians again, Stella, never... ... They were surprisingly kind. I was surprised at first. "Girl - near Naylith, in the Rose Forest outside, there is a cave called the Seer's Cavern. Uh- Apparently there's a powerful orb in it, we want you to guard it because you- well, you are powerful." I could see my healed mother in the back, shaking her head wildly, telling me no, no... so be it. "I will," I said emptily. I knew this would come. But I'll thank them for their kindness for not throwing me out rudely anyway. At least - at least they're getting rid of me on the pretense of me "guarding a powerful orb". I dragged my feet out - I felt their fake smiling faces on my back, their eyes crying in joy that I - being a curse - have finally left. So be it. I sank my feet into the grass. The Naylithians are happy people... They just don't want an alien like me to destroy their happiness. So be it. I saw the tunnel of the cave, and I peered into the darkness forth. Is this where I belong? A dark, deserted cave, with no companions but endless hordes of unfriendly monsters, nobody for me to cry on when I'm sad... I let myself fall onto the ground, hitting the cold stone, letting my hair fall, and I cried to the ground, why... Nobody who would talk to me and ask - Stella, you alright... "Little girl, you alright?"

Thanks.
I just felt like further showing how Stella came to become who she was today, how she survived through those years, alone, in the cave, and how she got enchanted, etc. etc.

~ CHAPTER TWO ~
Trust Stella The sky was so dark, so cold, so cold... Even the moon was covered, and the tiny little blinking stars barely provided much light... I'm scared... Mommy, I'm scared... Please, take me back... I don't want to be here! I'm sorry, so please... let me go back to Naylith again! I looked forth into the even darker cave, and I cried. It just seems so... monstrous. Maybe they were lying... there was no orb in here, just ferocious, starving vampires ready to rip me apart and drink me dry... I'm scared... How I wish... that someone would just hold me right now... "Hey, little girl, are you alright?" The voice, however, wasn't that of kindness. It was of impatience, annoyance... I covered my head with my hands, afraid. Who knows what's going to happen... But maybe it's a kind human who is just a bit gruff, who's willing to take me to a happy place, with grass and flowers just like Naylith, little sweet homes atop a hill- "Move aside already, sunwalker." That voice sounded deeply annoyed now, almost angry. What's 'sunwalker'? Mother never taught me that before... I looked up at the speaker, to see- "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" I screamed, seeing those blood red and hostile eyes. I ran, frightened, afraid... I didn't want to die...! But before I could run at least far enough, my leg got caught up in some brambles and I tripped - again. No... this-... "Thank you for moving aside," said the tall man again, completely ignoring my plight and moving into the cave. "Hey master, can we "No need to get distracted," the man replied. "Don't stray from the given course. And anyway, she's quite a cute girl." Hey, wait... Mother once taught me a word... what was that...? Hmm... Oh! I remember! "Pe-do-phile," I said, pointing my finger at him and pronouncing every syllable loudly. He stared back, a look of utter horror on his face. Then he closed his eyes and looked away, apparently irritated. "Okay, boys, you can eat her." W-W-Wait! Did I say something wrong?! ~~~ "Geez! That was scary!" I complained. "Stop following me!" "B-But there are lots of magical monsters here! I'll be killed by myself!" I cried. "Suit yourself. I'll be killing you later anyway, so this matters naught to me." And then, the apparently endless tunnel... ended. With a tiny chamber, and I see no orb. They lied... They told me there was a magical orb here, and they wanted me to guard it... but all they wanted was for me to be killed by these monsters...! How could they be so cruel... My mom said they were happy people! Why can't I be happy... too? I felt the tears welling up my eyes, and I tried blinking them away... but they just... kept on coming... "Hey, girl, if you want to tag along, at least be of some use. You're from Naylith, aren't you? Where is the orb? Speak!" Liar... "If it was the Naylithians who told you about the orb..." I whispered, my head bowed, "There is no orb. They sent me here to get me killed. That's all." I feel the tears on my cheeks now, as I wept. He came closer, and put his hand on my head, and- "I'm not such an idiot, you airhead!" he yelled, grabbed my hair and shook it roughly. "I know there's an orb - you're not going to lie and get away with it. Now where is it? And why did they send you here? What is it you want?!" "There is no orb." I replied in a monotone. "They apparently sent me here to guard the nonexistent orb, but I don't what to believe in anymore..." He stared at me strangely, and burst out laughing. "Guard the orb? Haha! So they've sent a guardian now? A little girl? Well, looks like I have to kill you, after all. The orb has to be destroyed. " Wait... if there really is an orb, and this man isn't lying... Does that mean I have to protect it at the extent of my life? "I will not let you destroy it!" I yelled, preparing myself in a battle position that I used to read from some strange looking panel thingies. "Prepare for my deadly attack! Um-" He sighed. "You just don't learn, do you?" He waved a finger, and the next moment the hem of my skirt caught on fire. "Yaaaaaaaaa!!!" I ran towards the water as fast as I could. As I quenched the fire, I sighed loudly - tripping yet again and landing right on a wall. Creak. "A- A door!" I cried, without thinking. Okay, that was a stupid thing to do, because immediately as I said that, the black-haired man and his two lackeys turned towards my direction. "Say, girl," he smirked. "Maybe you aren't so useless after all." "..." Okay, that was a stupid thing to do. ~~~ I've never seen an orb as magnificent as this one. Actually, I've never seen any orbs, but this one, encircled with crystal, and filled with an unknown bright substance, lit up the cave. I watched it, fascinated... Then I looked behind and see all those three standing far, far away, staring at me in irritation. Oooh, so they aren't coming near, huh... Well, since I'm going to become the guardian of this thing, maybe I should take it and keep it in a bagpack or something. That way, no vampires will come near me again, including those three weirdos, haha... I touched it. It won't budge. "Look, girl, are you having strange thoughts again? If that orb could be moved, I would have just smashed it a long time ago," said the man. I stopped pushing it, but continued to stare, fixated, at the swirling light... He tried to come closer, too, without getting scorched. "The Orb of Light, huh..." I could here him whispering. "So it's true, then," he said. "I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. But there being an Orb of Light, there should be one of an opposite force as well..." I could hear the glee in his voice this time. "So that's what we're looking for, eh?" he laughed softly. Wait... they came all the way here and couldn't destroy the orb, and yet they're so happy? Well- since the orb can't be moved, I shouldn't worry that much anymore, then. I guess I should just leave, go back to Naylith, and tell them- "But we can't give up on destroying this thing yet. A descendant of the human sorcerer - worse yet, a mage, can still move it and use it on us." ... Okay, looks like I won't be returning anytime soon. As the three left, I poked my head through the door to see them leave. And he turned back to me. "We should kill her now." I widened my eyes, and then closed them. I wasn't surprised. After all, it might even be a blessing. I don't want to spend my life guarding some unknown orb without knowing its properties, all alone in a forsaken dungeon, with nobody to visit me but three bloodthirsty vampires who want nothing but to smash the thing I'm supposed to guard, and I won't be strong enough to stop them... "It's alright," I whispered. "Kill me, then." I looked up, and I could feel the tears back again, streaming faster than ever before. "Because... Because... Because Stella doesn't want to live anymore, anyways... Forsaken by everyone she's known, doomed to have nothing but a dark, dark future... So kill Stella, okay...? Because you'll... you'd be doing Stella a favor..." I sobbed, and looked away. He looked at me. And then he looked away. And left. I saw him slowly disappear from the end of the tunnel, away...

Oh, Stella. Silly child. Don't call the scary vampire a pedophile!
...No matter how funny it ends up being for the audience. Looking forward to more--I suspect Gyendal will be returning. (Unless he's already worked his magic...?)

Wow, it's great!
It interested me how Stella spoke in third person at that part. I lol'd at the cupcake part. Was I suppose to?

@Elemental: Yeah, couldn't help it.
Glad you all like the humor. If you read Chapter 1, there was one part where Stella's mom taught her "pedophile".

Yay moar updaets.
Oops, this chapter seems quite short. I guess I just didn't have many ideas. ~ CHAPTER THREE ~ I Believed Stella I wonder why... He didn't kill me? I feel the pebbles crunch under my feet. Maybe he's not a bad person...? I wonder... I wonder... Why does he want so badly to destroy this orb that I've been sent to guard? Is he afraid that it might hurt him? Does it pose a threat to him? "The Orb of Light", he said... Maybe it can be used to kill all the vampires, and that's why he was afraid? But he was looking for something else, too... Something that he doesn't want to destroy, but to use. I wonder... I wonder what is it that I don't know, deep in my life, my soul, everything that matters to me... Why? Perhaps it's not my business to pry. Maybe I should stay happy for the rest of my life, in this little cave, staring at the same orb, forever and ever and ever - maybe it's not that bad, maybe... Maybe it might even be a relief. I sat down onto the cold floor, putting my hands again on the warm orb, seeing the bubbles of light enveloped within, sparkling... Maybe the vampires aren't bad people. Maybe he isn't bad. He didn't even kill me. He shouldn't be a bad person, so I should trust hi- And I heard a piercing scream. I didn't need reminding to tell me who that was. And I expected the worst. "MOTHER!!" I ran out, sidestepping the corpses of many magic flies, until I reached- Mother. No. No. No. Everything's a lie, right... I chose to trust you, and you- "WHY?!" I yelled at the top of my voice. "Why?! After everything... I thought... I thought...!" "I was hungry," he replied, that look of amusement never leaving his face. "What, something wrong? No? I'll be leaving, then." He moved out of the tunnel into the night, away... again... Why... Her body was completely bloody. I could barely recognize her now... and then, that was when I spotted a glint of silver in her palm. I took it. I looked at it. And I cried. I cried, and I cried, and I cried. I didn't stop for what seemed like eternity, as I thought how she had to come here in the middle of the night, getting herself killed, just to give me this... On the silver ring, engraved in a small, neat font, was Stella. ________________________________________ I buried her outside. There was no tomb. And as time passed by, flowers grew. It seemed beautiful, and yet always, I wanted to cry. I hated him. I hated him for taking away something so important to me. So little mattered to me, and he just had to take it all. And there's nothing I can do about it... because... I'm just... so weak...! Everything important to me... But at least, I still have my wings. Even that little thought could bring myself some comfort, at least. Weeks passed. Months passed. A year passed. Grass grew over the grave. He never returned. I remembered those days where I complained just because only my mother would comb my hair for me, and not the other Naylithians. Now I don't comb my hair. I don't polish my wings. I just want to live on, and tell myself, Stella, you'll be alright... Because nobody is going to help me live anymore. Nobody will be by my side, I'll just have to... get used to it... And I grasped the ring in my hand, and sobbed. It's time... for me to grow up...
