Mother in the Star
Lilan, a young woman with a wide-eyed and wild spirit, lifted her hand to the midnight sky. She reached her fingers towards the stars, hoping to touch the dazzling beauties. But she couldn't, it was far too impossible for her, a novice mage, to do such a thing. Her mother once touched a star, she said it pricked her finger but made her body tremble with a feeling she couldn't describe perfectly.
"Tingling. Hot. Refreshing. Eye-opening." Her mother whispered to Lilan, the last night her mother was seen.
Lilan stared above, believing with her heart her mother was up there.
