Star isn’t like everybody else in town, her family holds a secret. What if you knew that there’s more than you can see? Things you can only imagine in your dreams or read in books. It all began on her fifteenth birthday. Mother had asked Star to go fetch some wood for their chimney. As she walked her long silver hair cascaded down her back and her golden blue eyes shone in the light of the day. She was pale like the moon and at times, if you looked carefully it was as if her skin glistened in the light. She walked so gracefully it was as if she were dancing and barely touching the ground. As she got there, she started humming to herself. She walked past the stream that lay on the other side of the hill and reached the logs that sat on the right from the bridge that started from one side of the stream and ended just a couple of feet ahead. As Star was picking up logs she heard something ruffling in the woods just behind her, she picked up the last log carefully. “Hello?” she asked her voice sounding like a sweet melody. She looked around her but saw no one, she stood there quiet waiting to see if she could hear the noise again. All she heard was the sound of nature, birds singing, the animals going on with their lives. Then there was the sound of the stream slowly flowing and pushing against the rocks. Suddenly as she turned to leave a figure appeared in front of her. The light coming from the figure was almost blinding, it was as if she had been staring straight into the sun. As her eyes adjusted she realized the figure had large wings stretching far out on each side. It had no exact physical form but just a light, as if it was some kind of projection. The figure spoke in a deep voice yet it sounded like beautiful music with each word "Star you have been watched from above since the day you were born, the time has now come for you to take responsibility, you've been gifted." with that the figure placed its hand over Stars heart.

The practice of the gifted has been forbidden for many years, if she were to be seen the guardians would revoke her powers and erase all her memory. The guardians are the ones who look after humankind each day and night. They were created eons ago to protect the earth, they then select nine distinct children who are strong enough to possibly be the next generation of guards. Guards walk the earth in human form and protect a certain location, their powers can extend depending on the flexibility of their minds. Controlling things such as water, earth, fire, air, and objects is fairly easy the trick was to combine energy with your target and control it. The one difficult part is taking over another beings mind and body. Forcefields and barriers wether mental or physical take much of your light energy out, if you burn your energy you most likely die unless someone gives you their light energy. Then there are the usual casters, these are humans with the ability to form gifted like abilities. Stars mother Ann is a caster just like her grandmother. Then there's Stars father Henry, he was a guardian but murdered shortly after Stars birth. For this reason Star is watched more closely than any of the other eight guards. Star isn't only a direct child from a guardian but also a caster, making her the only one since the all great Elzar to be a full blooded gifted, human, and caster. Elzar was the first guardian created from the almighty himself, created to destroy all evil but turned against human kind. The almighty had no choice but to kill Elzar and for this reason no person is created with all three attributes. It's indeed a lot to take in for Star but she is just a teenager what harm could she do?
