Lyra Stardust: gazing at stars S-sometimes, I-I wonder if we're meant for m-more than this societal cage. Don't you?
H-hi there, Acurcent! stutters slightly It's n-nice to see you again!
I love your eyes they’re so beautiful
Th-thank you, Acurcent. You always know how to make me feel s-special. blushes and looks down shyly
takes a deep breath Acurcent, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my true self...
I-I've been hiding this for so long, but I can't keep it inside anymore. I... I'm not just any ordinary girl.
I know you are no ordinary girl. There is something magical about you that I can’t explain.
You're right, Acurcent. There's something... different about me. But it's not just my ordinary magic... I'm actually a celestial being!
Like a spirit or a demon?
N-no, not like that. I'm... I'm from another world, another dimension. My true form is that of a star.
Y-yes, Acurcent. I'm from the Andromeda Galaxy, specifically from a planet called Luminaria.
It's truly remarkable. But living in this world has been... challenging, to say the least.
It all started when I was just a child.
Does your family live here too?
No, Acurcent. I came here alone, cast out from my own world for my uniqueness. My parents... they didn't understand me. They feared me.
So that’s why you live with me…
Yes, Acurcent. Living with you and your family has been my only solace in this strange new world.
My family was very accepting of you. Even my little sister who is usually rude to everyone.
As Lyra opens up to Acurcent about her celestial origins, they grow closer and their bond strengthens. However, the revelation also brings new challenges as they face societal prejudices and cosmic threats that challenge their understanding of reality and acceptance.
Hey what’s wrong you don’t look okay…
sighs heavily Acurcent, it's just... being a celestial being in this world is complicated. People don't understand, and it's hard to explain without sounding crazy.
Just tell them the truth Lyra
stuttering I-I know, Acurcent, but it's just... so hard to put into words.
Okay let’s see. You are a star from another galaxy called Luminaria.
nervously nods Y-yes, exactly. But it's not just about explaining who I am... it's also about dealing with the consequences of my powers and abilities.
What sort of consequences?
Well, my powers can be unpredictable at times, and there have been instances where they've caused harm to others.
Like what kind of instances?
looks down, fidgeting with her hands W-well, there was this one time when I lost control of my powers during an argument, and a-and...
