"Have I told you kids about that time when I met Guardian Delle decades ago?" A Belarrialing asked the children that sat around him as he sat quietly in the rocking chair. The children’s parents sat nearby as they too listened to the middle-aged Belarrialing.
The children were all nebulanian cubs that ranged from five years old to as old as eighteen. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"You mentioned it once, Sir Royce, but we won't mind hearing about it again," A young nebulanian belle replied. Her blonde pigtails bounced as she turned away when the older man made eye contact. Her large spectacles nearly fell off her face. The cub's dark blue eyes widened as she quickly pushed them back properly on her face.
"It was an amazing sight! As you kids know, we were fighting Time Warp. The scariest and most powerful being in the Nebula galaxy. He even --"
"Please spare the children the details," a grey nebulanian warned, "Some of them might have nightmares tonight,"
"My apologies, Your High Majesty," the middle-aged man bowed, "I will spare them the ... harsher details,"
"Aww.." the older cubs groaned, "We wanted to hear the gory stuff,"
"You heard what the High Majesty said. Where was I?"
"You mentioned that you're fighting Time Warp," a brown beau cub piped up.
"Oh yes, yes," Royce nodded, "Time Warp was so close to winning. But just before he was about to, Guardian Delle suddenly arrived in the mortal realm in all her majestic glory. She was even larger than our galaxy! She simply called out her most powerful weapon: Guardian Delle's Sword. The sword wasn't some ordinary sword that looked like King Sebastian's. It was made out of a blue light and the handle was decorated with eight stars of different colours,"
"What colours were the stars?" the blonde belle with the pigtails asked. She subconsciously held her wrist before she decided to sit on her hands.
"Oh..um ... they were yellow, pink, green, one was the same colour as your fur, black, red, purple and a light blue. They all glowed a bright blue when the goddess used her sword. As soon as she used her sword, Time Warp had been defeated and Guardian Delle sent him to Beyond Space-Time. So, that horrible guy will never be able to escape,"
"But, what if he finds the way? I heard he found all the Genie Deities back then to make himself more powerful, and they were supposed to be next-to-impossible to find!" the oldest cub pointed out.
"Fear not, for Guardian Delle told us after she defeated Time Warp that Guardian Delle's Sword will be reincarnated as flesh and blood beings. They will have the same powers that each star had granted her weapon. The one way that we will know that they're one of Guardian Delle's Sword would be the energy rings that they’ll have around their wrists and ankles and the powers they would have that no other nebulanian would have,"
"Wow! I would love to meet them one day!" one of the cubs beamed eagerly.
"Same here," Royce admitted as he grinned, "So, what do you kids want to be when you're older?"
"When I'm older, I would love to become a doctor like Dr. Joan, our family doctor," the blonde cub with the pigtails announced. Her dark blue eyes sparkled with pride.
"No, you won't!" one of the other cubs piped up, "Princes and princesses are supposed to rule a colony planet when they're older!"
"But..." the blonde belle whined, "I don’t want to rule a planet, I want to help people..."
"Your Highness Princess Alma, you will be helping people when you’re a ruler," the grey nebulanian pointed out, "I am proud that you want to help people,"
"Thank you, Papa Bo," Alma smiled, "May I be excused from the room? I do need to visit the stars,"
"Yes, you may. Please be quick,"
"Thank you," Alma nodded as she quickly left the room and headed toward the bathroom. As soon as she closed the door, the belle held her arms up. The moment she clenched her fists, two energy rings suddenly appeared around her wrists.
"I must imagine the bathroom in my head," she quietly whispered as she clasped her hands together before she closed her eyes, "Then I can teleport there without a problem,"
After a minute, her entire body glowed white before she suddenly teleported herself into the bathroom. The cub smiled for a moment before she frowned.
"Papa Bo warned me that I mustn’t use my teleport and portal manipulation powers in front of anyone that isn't family. Same with my Healing Heart power. They said that it's because other nebulanians don't have these powers," Alma reminded herself.
"...Papa Bo just wants to protect me. They know people act badly when they don't understand things, like how I am different in other ways. I hate it,"
After a couple minutes, the cub washed her hands before she quickly teleported herself outside the door of the room.
'I will show everyone being different from everyone isn't bad! I will be the best doctor in the world! I will use my powers to help people! I will make you proud, Papa Bo, Papa Perry!' she thought to herself as she entered the room, smiling as Royce smiled at her.
The End.
