The Kingdom of Stars

Chapter 1

A small child sitting in his father’s lap looks up and asks him. “Father, can you tell me again about the kingdom of stars”?

“Ok but you have to go to bed afterward. Ok Star”? The father replied setting him on the ground.

“Ok” Star smiled cheerfully.

“Long ago when the sky was filled with stars there was a kingdom. It was said that the ones living there made the stars themselves. No one from below had ever seen the kingdom from the inside but they could tell you what they could see was breathtaking. Its walls shined like the morning sun in the darkest of nights. All loved the kingdom. Not just for the kingdom itself but for its king. Its king was a kind and generous one that no one could hate. Except for his brother. His brother grew jealous of the love the people had for him. So one night he and his trusted guards turned against his own brother. The king being smart tricked his traitor of a brother by sealing him and the entire kingdom away for good. It is said when only one star remains the kingdom shall once again come back. Now it's off to bed with you.”

“Sigh ok.” Star got up and headed to bed begrudgingly.

“Shh someone's here,” Father spoke in a concerned tone.

“Who?”

“WAKE UP YOU HALF BREED MUTT IT'S TIME TO GET TO WORK”

Star awoke from his roommates yelling as he had always done. Nothing new about this. He walked to the bathroom to wash up. Staring at the mirror he looked at the two star-shaped markings on his cheek. Other than that nothing else really made him stand out that much. He was average build short black hair and normal hight for his age.  Star was all of sudden pushed aside by his roommate hitting his eye on the counter.

“Mutt.” was all his roommate said.

His roommate who Star never got his name was around the same build as him but with short blond hair.

Star picked himself up and headed out the door a few minutes after his roommate had left.

Later that day after working in the fields it was finally time for lunch. As everyone else got roast chicken and veggies. Star got what could best be described as dog food. This was nothing new he was just glad to have food. As he walked to his table in the corning a leg tripped him. His food went flying across the floor.

“Oops I’m sorry.” the one who tripped him said in a smug tone.

“It's ok he is a dog after all. They eat off the ground after all. He doesn't even know how to use a bowl I bet.” His roommate replied.

Star did not reply and just started scooping what food he could back into his bowl. To his surprise, a hand reached down to him.

“Hey, do you need help?” The owner asked in a kind voice.

Star looked up and saw a person who he guessed was in his teens. Like all the others he had short hair and was of medium build.

“Careful he may bite.” The roommate said.

“Why do you hate him so much?”

“Because he is a half breed his dad fucked a wolf and made that”

“You’re a half wolf?.....that's AWESOME. Do you already have a roommate?”

“Yeah me but we can trade.” Stars roommate spoke up.

“Deal. Now since we are roommates now we should know each other's names. My name is Star and yours?’

Star looked at this stranger being nice to him not knowing if he could trust him and simply replied with “Star.”
