Fallen Star

<" I am on my way to find a star," said the witch-queen, " which fell in the great woods on the otherside of Mount Belly. And when I find her, I shall take my great knife and cut out her heart, while she lives, and while her heart is her own. For the heart of a living star is a sovereign remedy against all the snares of age and time. My sisters wait for me to return.">


< "A star,"said one of her sisters.
"A star," echoed the second.
"Exactly,"said the witch-queen, putting a circlet of silver upon her head. "The first in two hundred years. And I'll bring it back to us." She licked her scarlet lips with a deep red tongue.
"A fallen star," She said. >

<exerpts from Stardust by Neil Gaiman>

This one is called "Fallen Star".
I mean an actual star! After watching Howl's Moving Castle (Ghibli) and reading Neil Gaiman's "Stardust". This fallen star came to me o.o In Stardust, this witch Lillim is chasing the fallen star, so she can take her heart. A fallen star's heart can make a witch young and immortal. She caught a fallen star before, because just as she goes off to find the new fallen star, she pops the last of a heart into her mouth before she leaves! o.o So I am enamored by the fallen star <3 Forgive me if it is a little risque.. I wanted to give a sense of vunerability and innocence...

(DISCLAIMER: If this contains mature content please let me know and I will remedy the situation. Also if you are a witch, I mean no harm to witches or offense. I enjoy stories o.o Including ones that turn the whole 'bad witches' thing around o.o I enjoy fairy tales, so I mean no harm towards other beliefs o.o;;;
