"...And thanks to the new rule of tha land the kingdom prospered, the end"
We see the older man turn with a sweet smile to the little girl settled in her covers as
"Wooow...read! Another read another !"
The girl laughed and hoped up an down in bed as she eagerly shook her grandfathers arm, the older man fondly smiled
"Asha, you should be a sleep by now I promised your mother just one story and that's , it just one "
But the littler girl did not litsen as she scrambled of the bed as fast as posible almost tripping on some toys
"But I know the perfect-Wha- one"
Her moving things from her little drawing desk as she pushes some little paints and colors away as she grabs a a small book her grandfather fondly chuckles she then finally pulls it out with a thin as she caries it carefully back
"Here"
Saba just fondly smiling letting out a small laugh
"Hmm let's take a look shall we? "
But book wasn't a story book at all, but a note book with notes and sketches for small contraptions and markings of the stars, Sabas smile slightly faltered as his eyes gazed at the book in confusion
"We-where did you get this asha"his eyes flickered between the pages and her
The little girl noticed his shift on mood as her eyes no pointed to her lap began to twiddle her fingers
"Dads shelf... I-I know I probably shouldn't have...I just miss him" she didn't dare look up, the thought of getting scolded hurting he little hear as she hanged her head low in shame
The man didn't answer as he flipped the pages listening to his niece explain as his eyes dart towards the pages and her
"...I don't understand all of it, but it was his so...when I read it...I feel more connected to him"
Sabino sighed it gave his niece a small sad smile
"You father was a smart man dear,he looked up to stars and saw all their beauty and all we could learn"
Him softly closing the books and the holding her face in his hand as the little girl now finally looks at him, her melting into his hand with a soft smile
"I see so much of him in you..."
"Curious,Smart,creative and in your case ticklish!"
"Ah Saba no!-" she sputtered with giggles as she tried to push his hands away him just letting out a laugh as they calmed back down asha now softly laugh as she lied back down saba letting out a fond sigh
"The stars are powerful things asha, and your father believed that one day, they would reveal thruth beyond your wildest dreams"
Asha got quiet for a moment before looking out at the window as the peaceful night breeze blow through the rim, as the moon up above made everything glow with its pale beautiful light
She he's situated for a moment bitting her lip as she looked at saba tiding up a little bit
"Do you think I'll ever be as smart and magical as papa"
He turned back to her and properly tucked her in putting a little black bear plushie on her bed
"Well I belive you can do what ever you put your mind to"
The man smiling fondly looking out the window to a far off tree as he spoke
"but asha remember this, if you want to make your wishes come true you have to put in the work to, study hard keep your head up high and the fire burning in your heart..."
Then looking back at his niece with all the wonder in his eyes as he taps her chest for emphasis
"and you can do anything"
Asha put her little finger of to her lip in thought
"So I gotta work hard to make my wish to make my dream come true"
"Ha,yes, you young ones have the opportunity to make a great change you just need to reach out"
The old man quickly shaking his head as he then hood of the bed fully tucking the girl to bed and kissing her on her little forehead, and then grabbing the little singular candelabra by the little handle
"Now come on young lady You stayed up far to late already"
"aw"
He makes his way stepping over the jumble of toys and drawings as he makes his way to the door but a little voice falters his movements liking him turn back
"Saba"
"Yes my dear?"
"But what about you ?"
Ashas voice came out shaky as she sounded uncertain
"You already gave your wish and it still hasnt been granted"
The older man's hands ever so slightly trembled as they held the handle, his eyes gazing off with uncertainty before choosing his words carefully before just speaking the truth
"Well since I can't remember it,there's nothing for me to do"
Then he glanced back at his neise and smiled as brightly as he can
"That's why you must do all you can"
"And make my own wish come true" the girl finished understanding where he was coming from
Saba fondly sighed
"Very good my dear take it from me"
The old man stares as somewhere in the middle his eyes gain absence of longing,yearning before quickly snapping back to normal shaking his head softly gazing back at her
"It's better have tried and failed, then to have never tried at all"
Asha looked at her grandfather with all the care in the world The little girl contemplating for moment then just nodded with a determined smile
"Goodnight my dear"
"Goodnight saba"
Blowing out the candle the door shutting with a soft click
The little girl scrambles of her bed almost falling as she tangled in her sheet as she reaches her window looking up at the sky and it's shimmering Lights one in particular making her eyes twinkle
Asha looks down but a breeze flowing through the autum air catching her eye as in the distance there she sees her fathers star gazing tree
Asha then looks up at the star once more it twinkling once again as if trying to say hello
She hold her little palms over her heart and then takes in a deep breath and then whispers
"Please please please oh please"
Her gaze now turning to her and her fathers old stargazing spot her
"I'll make you proud"
The scene transitions from night to day but not all appears the same as time has passed
As the first light of dawn gently painted the sky in hues of pastel pinks and oranges, a tranquil hush settled over the sleepy little homes
The only sound being the sound of the whistling wind and the little birds singing their little tunes
ashas small little desks corners instead of being a mess of colors and drawing now...stills mess... but now filled with writings of runes and ancient texts all piled up with books and papers
The toys scattered off the ground now replaced to said papers as you can se the figure of a young lady who's a tangled mess in the sheet as she softly breathes in her sleep
She's is then unfortunately woken up by the sound of beeping as she groans and tries to reach over trying to find some sort of of switch instead nocking everything over the vanity her letting out a groan as she in unsuccessfull and just turns over to the side
Tossing and turning as she slowly beguins to wake up her tuning fully now lying on her back rubbing her sleepy eyes as they finally adjust to the room as she sees something looming over her
Once she finally realizes what she's looking at letting a sigh as she boops the little critter on the nose finally making him stop
Letting out a laugh with a hum
"Good morning Valentino"
The little goat letting out a little bleet and gaping down from the bed frame and into ashas lap making the bed sqeak
"Ooff you getting heavy there"
*slightly offended bleet*
Asha softly chuckling as she stretches her back leeting out a big yawn
"What times is it"
Her seeing the intricate little clock hanging the side with a gasp almost falling out of bed as sheclambers to get out of bed
"Oh I'm gonna be late!"
We now cut to the kitchens of the small little wood house a woman humming as she works,the table covered with fruits ,cheeses and other crops from their little farm as she jots down the amount in scroll with a feather
But she's quickly cut off for a moment as she hears a loud bang resonate from ups stars making her flinch
"Uh Asha ? what are you doing up there ?"
She walks along the kitchen cleaning up and continuing as un known to her her daughter almost makes a hole books she'll fall down as she was scrambling to gather books and supplies
With tow quils in Between her teeth a vase that almost fell from the top of the book shelf in one hand and the other one holding it up is her foot in this weird ballerina pose
"Uh Nothing ?"
Letting out a little strained grunt as she tries to keep the vase and the book shelf from falling
The woman smiled at the elderly man's sitting down as she sets a little cup of hot chocolate down infront if him as she sets a plate of breakfast at the other side of the table before locking up a the ceiling
"Your breakfast is getting cold"
She quickly burst into action tilting the buckshelf back into place blowing the quils to valentingo as he throws them into her open satchel and hoping the vase back into its place with a content sigh
"Grab that!need this! A few of these and..."
She goes back and fort grabbing a few books and paper and then finally her sketch book thy Valentino held up to her between his teeth with and eager little talk wiggle
"Thank you Valentino"
"Coming !"
The two dashing down the stars as Valentino hoped all over the place with ease eagerly jumping into the lap of someone else
"Oh hello to you too Valentino"
"Good morning saba"
The old man raising slightly shaky hand to cares the baby goats fur as he bleeds his ear of, almost as if the little goat was explaining something to him letting out a smal laugh
"Good morning to you my dear"
"Happy birthday !"
The older mama eyes widenening eve so slightly as a mused yet confused grin appears on his face "Oh it is isn't it"
She chuckled and gave him a kiss on his forhead then moving toward her plate as she quickly eats her food still standing
A Loud bleat almost making her drop a price of fruit as the little goat tried to get his point across
"Huh really"
*bleats in confirmation*
The little goat nods As saba smiled feeding the little one a piece of bread wich he greatfully eays saba letting out a fond laugh
"Valentino stop talking Sabas ear off"
"Hah no point trying Valentino never stops talking"
Then ashas mom walks ima and out moving crates of produce near the door as she jots some numbers down
A knock comes from the door as Sakina goes to open the door a older gentlemen greets with a wave
" good morning to you all"
Everyone in the house giving a small greeting
As Sakina softly smiles at the young man, Arthur being a long friend of the family having been a friend of Asha mom and dad long before she was ever born
"Arthur what a pleasant surprise we uh weren't expecting you"
He then goes to pull up the small basket filled with fruit
"Here are the oranges you wanted Alma"
Him the leening is in a "whispering" tone
"You know for the thing"
Sabino wallks over slowly cane in hand and palm on his hip as he goes to greet him at the door
"Arthur how wonderful to see you my boy"
"Oh happy 100th Sabino ,man does time fly"
The man's fixings his stuff as he now fully hands the basket over
"You know there's a wish ceremony happening tonight, I bet it's gonna be you"
"O thank you my boy"
Sakina looking between the tow her face slowly twisting into a a soft scowl as she clears her throat to get their atenciones
"Yes thank you Arthur. but don't you have somewhere to be"
"Doh right right right "
Scrambling to finish his deliveries he lets the other basket down as he goes to his little donkey and wagon as he makes his way out
"Got so many more deliveries to make"
"I hope to see you all at the ceremony, don't give up saba fingers crossed"
The woman watches as the gentlem drive of in the wagon with a small frown on her face a she shakes her head at his last coment , but wiping the form from her face quickly as she faces the others
"So all my work is accounted for next week ,asha can I count on you to help me out with you know what tonight ? "
Her grabbing on to the basket as she continues to talk putting it onto the kitchen table
The young girl pausing mid sip as she finishes her orange juice as she scramble to get up grabbing her satchel
"Ah no Ah i mean I cant"
Sakina loooking at her slightly confused Valentino hoping from thing to thing the little goat just cmlinbing higher and higher
"Well I'm giving a tour"
Ashas mother does not seem covinced
"And then I'm helping daliah a-and y/n yeah"
She scrambled to grab and pick up at the table withou looking as she glances between her saba and her mom
"Yeh so ah"
As Sakina gets closer withou her knowing
"Why'd you say it like That"
The young lady eyes dart forward and back as her mom looks at her suspiciously her saba also suspicious but more playful then anything
"Like what ?"
"What are you up to?"
"Why do you think that I'm up to something"
Sakina looks at her daughter fondly yet un amused as she fixes one of her boxes of produce holding it at her side
"Because I know your pauses"
"I'm maturing my pauses are changing "
and gives her a quick peck on the cheek before heading to the door
"Ashaa"
"Can't talk now I'm gonna be more late"
She goes to the door one arm on her satchel as the other reaches for a little banner flag of to the side Valentino hoping into her arms from stop the door frame
"I'll se you at the wish ceremony"
"Oh I wouldn't miss it"
"I gotta good feeling about it"
Her and Valentino dash acros their small little village acros the fields all the way to the entrance of the kingdom
