The Bright Morning Star

Bright like the stars,
Clear as the moon,
Elegant, beautiful and white.
She will shine even in the darkest night.

There once was a legend in a long forgotten world, Elyrah, about Sorcha'ma Taariq, the bright morning star. They believed she would give life to all the stars, bring good dreams and fortune. The people loved her, worshiped her, but like all worlds and planets it came to an end. Everything was destroyed in one blast, caused by a young woman. Sorcha'ma Taariq was now the guardian of a dead world. She looked down on Elyrah. It was still there, but everything was covered in darkness, everything and everyone on the planet died. Except for that one young woman. For the first time in a millenia Sorcha came down to Elyrah. She came face to face with the young woman who had destroyed the world she had always protected and to her surprise it was the princess. Simeyah Zeyliren Mehrizah Blagdan. Sorcha looked at princess Simeyah who's face was covered in tears, her hands shaking. Sorcha's immortal heart skipped a beat. Magic. Magic had disappeared from Elyrah long ago when the First King killed everyone that possessed even the tiniest bit of magic. But here she sat. The first magic wielder in a thousand years and she had destroyed everything without even knowing what she was doing. She had probably just discovered her gift herself. Sorcha was suddenly overwhelmed by grief and grief turned to anger. She had protected this world with her life and now this young woman had destroyed it! 
"Look what you have done."
Simeyah looked up to the bright morning star and suddenly her face went pale. 
"They deserved it. All of them." The princess said.
They stared at each other for a long time. Then Simeyah Zeyliren Mehrizah Blagdan stood up and walked off. 
Sorcha'ma Taariq watched her walk to nowhere and nothing and made her way back to the moon. She couldn't get the now princess of a dead kingdom off her mind and wondered what had happened. Then she abandoned the place. There was nothing left to protect here so she went on to a new world.
