Chapter 9

"Yes this is where the prophecy was cast about you Delila, this is where we were told you will save the galaxy." a women's voice behind Delila surprised her. She turned around to see two beautiful women, both with pure white hair, and in long white dresses. She realized that the two women were Karisa and Llia. She gasped, and stared wide eyed.



"Don't be scared Delila, we mean no harm, and we have come to help you with your training, we will take your training father then just the ordinary spells. Come with us" Karisa held out her hand and said each word with the pride of a mother over her child. Delila was immediately filled with lover for these ancestors of hers.



Delila followed them to a clearing surrounded by oak trees growing tall. Karisa took her hand and blew on it, sparkles like sapphires came out and landed on Delila's right hand, and formed a ten-point star. "This is the sign of the Starpower kingdom."



"Watch closely" Llia claimed, "Follow my exact movements." Llia took a step forward and murmured, "Wind that flows, Fire that burns, Water that soothes, Earth that steadies, Electric that sparks, and Psychic that controls, bring me the elements that shine like stars. Give me the power of the stars." and with that Llia shot out a power ball, that was white, but had shades of the colors of the rainbow, the colors of the elements.



The power ball knocked disintegrated five of the oak trees, which grew back immediately. "Now you try," Llia said. Delila stared in shock at her, how in the world was she supposed to do that!!!



Delila repeated the saying, and luckily she shoot out a power ball, though it was weak, and only knocked down half a tree. Delila moaned, while the two sisters giggled. Even her father and grandmother laughed. "Hey" Delila growled.



"Lighten up, that was perfect for a Star, I could never do that in my days of a Star." her father said. Delila smiled and perked up.



"You show great promise, you will have power father than anyone I have seen in centuries." Karisa smiled, and giggled. Delila felt filled with happiness. "Its time for you to go, Ill be seeing you soon."

Delila pouted and walked with her father, to the tree with the ten-point star, "Would you like to do the honers?" her father asked. Delila smiled, and pressed her right hand to the tree, and the passage opened up.

Light shined down on Delila, making her feel light and happy. "You know, its your sixteen birthday tomorrow and Samantha wants to meet you at the park tomorrow, I said you can go."
Delila forgot that her birthday, was tomorrow, life couldn't get any better!

"Thanks dad, I love you!" and with that they headed off toward their house.

"Wake up honey, come on I made pancakes, Delila!" Delila woke up to the screaming of her father's loving voice that was excited, and happy. Delila finally opened her eyes to see her father with a plate of burned pancakes, and a huge smile on his face. Delila crinkled her nose at the smell of burnt dough. "Yeah, I can t make them as good as your mother, but its tradition that you have pancakes on your birthday." his voice chocked at the reminder if her mother.

"Thanks dad, your the best! These actually aren't that bad!" they laughed together at the compliment of her father's cooking. "I love you dad!"

"Happy Birthday, I love too, Delila." their eyes met and they both smiled. "Here, here's your present." her father handed her a box. When Delila opened the box, she found a bracelet with a ten-point star charm on it. Delila eyes filled with tears as she hugged her father.

"This is the best birthday present ever!" Delila's phone rang, and she saw that Sammie had sent her a text telling her to meet her at the park.

"You go ahead, have fun at the park." her father said. Delila kissed him on the cheek and ran off.
