The Star Covers: The Tale of The Starterian Princesses

Inspired by my previous work and by @ladyshandioftheendless kissteriaverse works, here’s a big backstory piece for the Star Covers universe

Millions of years ago, when the universe was still rather young and developing, an ancient woman created by the stars named Misera arrived. She was the goddess of magic and had a desire to create magical cosmic realms across the universe to expand her powers in unique ways. These magical realms are the Dimensions, each with its own cultures, traditions and civilizations, inhabited by the humanoid dimensionlings. Of the many dimensions she created, the first 12 dimensions helped kept the balance of magic strong and aligned. Starteria, Kissteria, Godsteria, Cloverteria, Duransteria, The Dark Clipse, Namnos, Saffron, Umbra, Krytis, Beatlemania and Monkeemania held their respective rocks with its own shapes and powers and the rocks kept magic thriving throughout millions of years.

After each of their creations, Misera blessed each of them with ancient artifacts called Talentments, powerful magical pieces that grants people highly advanced magic in order to protect the universe and expand their worlds. Starteria was blessed with 18 of these Talentments and the first rulers of the realm decided to gift these items to their 18 beloved daughters, the Starterian Princesses. The princesses Harmony, Faye, Amore, Electra, Gemma, Alina, Iris, Aqua, Nera, Rosina, Fern, Astra, Ember, Crystal, Raven, Glace, Solara, and Lunia possessed the music, mist, love, thunder, sparkles, diva, seasons, water, drums, nature, animals, space, fire, jewel, darkness, ice, sun, and moon Talentments respectively.

For years, the princesses struggled to balance their royal duties, their magical powers and their personal lives but overtime they became more logical and soon grew to be strong and independent young women. However, their story takes a turn for the worse on the night of the Festival of Music, an annual holiday that occurs on the first day of summer every year. It is a celebration of unity, music and love between the dimensions of the universe. On this particular night, the princesses were greeted by the princes of Kissteria and Princess Harmony, the oldest of the sisters, was feeling rather lonely.

“What’s going on sis?” Electra asked. She found her older sister sitting alone on her favourite balcony in the palace. Electra knows that Harmony hides there when she’s feeling down. “Prince Demon of Kissteria is waiting for a dance with you.”

“I know. I apologize. It’s just that our parents are expecting me to begin the trial of the rulers soon. Which means at some point I will be the ruler of this place.” Harmony explained. She soon shredded some tears and Electra came over to wipe them away. “Our parents will be gone soon and I may outlive you and the rest of our sisters because of the ruler spell.”

“You mean, the spell that grants the rulers longevity?” She asked and Harmony nodded. “Please, don’t worry about that right now. Tonight is supposed to be a joyful night. It’s not often that the Kissterian princes come here and I’m sure Demon wishes to see you.”

“But that’s the thing. If I become ruler, I’ll outlive him too. And I really want to be with him forever.”

“Well think about this. He’s a great man to you, despite his grumpy face and demonic attitude, he puts you on a pedestal because he loves you. And he’s a prince too. With both of your statuses and your undeniable love for each other, I’m certain you too will be ruling together.”

“But what about Kissteria?”

“Harmony. There’s 12 princes.” They both laughed and Harmony smiled at her younger sister. “Besides, if you two get bored of Kissteria or Starteria, Starchild and I will fill in for you guys once we get married.”

“Oh are you finally gonna propose to him? Didn’t you failed at that the last time you saw him?” Harmony teased her with a smirk

“Don’t bring that up!” She retorted as they both laughed. “But yeah I’m gonna try tonight. I really do love him and I hope he loves me too. Do I look good? Is my hair ok? What about my dress?!” Harmony patted her shoulders and moved a few loose strands of Electra’s dark raspberry hair back and looks into her grey eyes.

“Look you look wonderful tonight and Starchild is such a lovely and romantic guy. He compliments you endlessly. When I was talking to him earlier, he couldn’t stop talking about you and how amazing you are. I’m sure he will say yes.” Harmony soothed and Electra smiled at her

“Thanks sis. Now let’s go down. A party isn’t a party without all of the princesses. Besides, it’ll be fun watching Ember setting the dining room on fire.” Electra joked and Harmony rolled her eyes as they both walked back to the main stairway to the ballroom. The royal purple walls decorated with white pillars, golden streamers and pink flowers. As the two sisters head inside, Electra ran off to find her lover and Harmony stood next to one of the rainbow stained glass windows and observed the crowd. She watch Solara and Lunia laughing with their favourite soldiers in the Starterian Military, Bella Horizon and Keira Gleamington, over some funny stories they’ve gained over training. She saw her sister Glace flirt unsuccessfully with Princess Kazemi, the water princess of Cloverteria, and the neighbouring princess expressed joy and amusement at Glace’s cuteness. She even saw Amore ranting about the princesses instructors to Prince Catman and saw his confused expression throughout the chat.

“There you are!” A voice exclaimed joyously. Harmony looked up at her Prince Demon and smiled. She admired his red trench coat with gold button and white gloves along with his black vest and dress pants with brown boots. His face was covered in his iconic demon winged makeup and his hair was wavy and held in his usual ponytail. “I was worried that you got sick or something. Glad to see you safe and sound.”

“Oh don’t worry about it. Just tired that’s all dearest.” She assured and took his hand.

“Now that you’re here, we should have our dance together.” He commented and Harmony accepted and joined him on the white reflective floor. They both looked into each other’s eyes with endless love as he gently gripped her by the hand and waist. By the corner of her eye, she spotted Electra and Starchild standing together and smiling, with her face blushing bright red. Harmony knew for a fact that Starchild was praising her endlessly.

“Demon, I want to ask you, how would you feel if I become ruler of Starteria? My parents are already making plans for me to take the trial.” She asked nervously.

“My love, I understand your concerns but just know that I want you to be happy and if being a ruler doesn’t make you happy, you should tell your parents. Besides, you have multiple sisters who are willing to become ruler. And with Electra planning on proposing to Starchild, it’s possible you won’t have to worry about the trial anymore.” He explained and Harmony looked away worried as she glanced at her sister.

“But I want to live my life with you. Demon, you’re the most perfect man in the universe and I’m worried that if I become ruler, I’ll outlive you. I can’t do that to you.” She protested and Demon takes her hands and pulls her closer.

“Please. I’m not worried about that. But I am worried about one thing.” He confessed.

“What’s that?” She asked and watched him drop to one knee and she looked on surprised and started crying tears of joy. She looked up and saw Electra and Starchild giving her a thumbs up, learning that they were in on this situation.

“You are the love of my life, the most beautiful princess of them all and I don’t want to become ruler if it means I can’t be with you. You have made my life all the more special and worth living. So I ask you, will you make me the happiest prince on Kissteria and be my queen?” He asked, holding up a diamond ring and Harmony laughed joyfully and dropped down in front of him.

“Yes! How can I say no to that cute face?!” She kissed him and he slowly slipped the ring around her finger and they embraced as the crowd in the ballroom started cheering for the newly engaged couple. As they get up, they continued embracing and Harmony’s worries slowly melted away. “Your turn!” She called to Electra and she blushed redder than ever.

“What?! I uh..” She laughed nervously and Starchild looked at her with curiosity.

“What is she on about?” He asked sweetly. Soon Electra showed the diamond ring, burning in her pocket. He looked on surprised before smiling brightly. “Well this is a pleasant surprise.” He stated warmly before pulling out another diamond ring and she smiled brightly.

“Great minds think alike I suppose!” She joked and they both laughed warmly and they kissed.

“How long have you planned this?” He asked.

“For a while I guess” She answered with a laugh and they both embraced as the crowd cheered for them.

“About time. I was trying to get him to do something for months” Demon stated and they both laughed and hugged each other. Suddenly, Serena Eldress arrived. She was the royal adviser to King Lucidum and Queen Stella and she arrived with a frightened look on her face.

“Lady Eldress? What’s going on?” Harmony asked.

“The Dark Clipse. They are coming toward us. Crimson has arrived.” She alerted. Harmony looked out the windows and saw several monsters invading the city. Shadowmoons hunt down and attack any civilian they find in the streets.

“But I thought Crimson was imprisoned?” Demon assumed. He watched Serena hesitate and looks away before looking back at him.

“I don’t know what happened but she escaped from our clutches and then she returned home. Haven’t you heard that her father has been killed and she took over? She might be back to get her revenge on us all.” She explained and Harmony watched the chaos ensue outside

“Sisters, come on we need to save our people. I don’t know what Crimson wants but anyone who threatens our home is an automatic enemy of mine.” Harmony ordered. Her sisters nodded and they leave as fast as they can but Demon grabbed her hand

“Please you can’t face her. She has the ruler spell now which means she’s more powerful than before.” He warned

“I’m sorry but as the next ruler of Starteria, the safety of my people is my priority. Please seek shelter or return home love. We’ll meet once we clear the threat.” She promised.

“I hope you’re right. Please be safe my dear.” They both kissed each other lovingly before Harmony ran off with her sisters. Demon watched on terrified and Starchild hugged him

“Don’t worry. They’ll be ok.” He assured him. They turned to Lucidum and Stella who witnessed their departure and rushed from the scene.

Soon, the princesses faced the wrath of the new ruler of the Dark Clipse, Crimson. With her head covered by a large red and white mask and matching armour and clothing, the princesses could see the rage in her eyes.

“Crimson! Stop this invasion immediately!” Princess Faye ordered coldly but Crimson sends a large blast in her direction and she gets smacked into one of the palace towers.

“I am the Crimson Witch and this world will be mine. This is punishment for my imprisonment. What was the point honestly? All because I was sent on a mission to clear out some of you glittering scums. Sorry my father was a terrible person who didn’t know how to run a planet. But I’m here to make things better, starting with killing each one of you.” She declared and sends multiple blasts at each of them, each one stronger than the last. They’ve tried to hold their ground but soon the long battle ended when they were all out of breath. As they laid exhausted, Harmony saw her parents standing before them on a balcony, staring at their daughters tormentors.

“Crimson Witch, your reign of terror will come to an end!” The king declared and his queen created golden bubbles around their daughters.

“Darlings, it’s alright now. You’ll be safer than ever once you leave this place” Stella soothed them

“Where are we going?!” Aqua asked terrified

“Earth.” She answered. “You must try to survive on that planet until the threat is defeated. Please take this with you. It’s the first of its kind and I will send you a message through it once we figured everything out.” She explained before handing Harmony a small electronic device called a StarPhone. Technology in the dimensions has always been far more advanced than Earth but Harmony looked at it surprised

“Mom we can’t leave you behind!” Ember begged.

“You’re gonna have to this time. I love you all so much.” She gently whispered before launching them off, shedding a tear as she heard her daughters screaming in fear and sadness. Little didn’t she know that the princes, especially Demon and Starchild, watched them depart in fear and despair, begging for them to come back. The other young princes and princesses watched on horrified but watched as the king and queen send large golden rays to the Crimson Witch. The king and queen were certain that the entire world would fall into chaos if they weren’t any sort of protection. In a last ditch effort to prevent the Crimson Witch’s triumph, the couple embraced and kissed each other for the last time before shining bright violet auras and the light stretched across the sky as the witch watched the royal couple disappear, leaving behind a bright purple star-shaped gemstone.

“A rock?” She asked confused, cautiously stepping forward towards the ancient object. The rock of Starteria was finally created and magic would be balanced for eternity. The witch knew that her power would strengthen once she takes it for herself. She reaches before a beam of fire strikes her arm. Clutching it in pain, she looked to see Demon and Starchild, glaring at the tyrant.

“You’ve brought disaster to all of us. I don’t care that you became the ruler of the Dark Clipse. You’ve destroyed the legacy of your realm forever and endangered the people of Starteria! And until our princesses are returned, you and the Dark Clipse will no longer be our allies in the peace of the universe!” Demon declared and the Crimson Witch looked at the young princes and sends multiple blasts at them and used her powers to grow larger and destroyed a huge portion of the palace and a part of the palace lands on top of Demon and injured his shoulder.

“Demon!” Starchild screamed and pulls him up. “Lady Eldress! Please! Get the army out immediately! They need to help as many people as possible!” He ordered and Serena nodded and ran back. Many soldiers ran and killed various monsters across the city and people ran in a panic. The world was changing in the worst ways possible as soldiers were murdered, royal families torn apart, and for the first time in the dimensions history, the 12 supreme dimensions were locked into a brutal war against the most powerful and dangerous woman in the Dark Clipse

——————————————————————————

Harmony awoke on the grassy terrain of the earth. The sky was dark and covered with stars and tiny grey clouds. It had seemed like days since the princesses were transported to the earth from their home and Harmony looked around and saw her sisters, sitting on the grass, mixes of emotions on their faces. Anger, fear, confusion and grief.

“Are you all alright?” She asked and they all nodded and she looked at Princess Nera, who was pacing angrily around the hillside

“I can’t believe this! That stupid Crimson had no reason to attack us! Like yeah I get it, getting imprisoned is annoying and trust me I would be too, but that’s not an excuse to attack our home! What did she get out of this!?” She yelled annoyed. She was always the most aggressive of the princesses so the others weren’t that surprised with her behaviour.

“I just hope that the others are ok up there.” Amore hoped. Harmony looked up at the stars, tearing up, thinking about her parents and her lover.

“Me too. Also that timing is just unfair, especially when you two just got engaged.” Glace remarked and Harmony looked at Electra, who was shaking in fear over the idea of losing her prince.

“Look we’re gonna be alright. We just need to find a way back to Starteria.” Harmony declared

“How?! We’re stuck on a practically unknown planet to us, our home is invaded by monsters, and there’s no one here who can help us!” Ember questioned.

“Seriously, this whole situation is ridiculous! It’s hopeless!” Gemma remarked

“We just need to have hope. There is a way to bring things back together. We just need to get going and find a way back. And when we get back, we’re gonna have to remove the spell off of that witch” Harmony decided

“You mean Crimson?” Aqua asked

“No The Crimson Witch. She’s no longer the same person as she used to be. By removing the spell off of her, we can get rid of all our problems.”

“But she hasn’t produced an heir.” Iris pointed out

“Doesn’t matter. What matters is keeping our people safe from her tyranny and destroy every enemy in our path. Now, if I remember from my studies, there should be a Guardian Spire somewhere on this planet so we can use that to get back home and stop her” Harmony informed. Guardian Spires are large temples where people can transport from earth to dimensions, each one for the supreme dimension in a different part of the world.

“You think we can do it?” Alina asked

“We need hope in this fight right now. Come on. Let’s see what we could find.” Harmony ordered and ran down to the bottom of the hill. Her sisters knew she was stubborn as hell about anything she sets her mind on. They slowly got up and joined her as she walked out. They travelled across the valley for a little while until Harmony stood at the edge of the valley in shock.

“What’s happening?” Electra asked. She looked down with the rest and everyone stood in shock and held back tears. Down below, there was a village where Shadowmoons were roaming freely, attacking and killing civilians, and destroying homes, setting them ablaze.

“She’s here.” Harmony replied grimly. Just as she stated, The Crimson Witch rose from the burning village and spotted them

“There you are. You don’t know how long I’ve been looking for you but thankfully you hand delivered yourself to me. You really think you have a chance against me? I am the leader of the greatest dimension in existence and once I kill all of you, Starteria will be mine as well. Now don’t worry, Starteria will be in good hands.” She declared, sending off large golden rays at them. The group tried to deflect the attacks, but one by one, they failed and were vaporized instantly, leaving only their talentments behind. Harmony watched in horror as she watched her sisters die in front of her, tears streaming down her face and the witch smirked at her misery

“How could you?!” She screamed in disbelief and agony

“Take this as a lesson princess. None of this would’ve happened if you haven’t have trapped me in the first place. But you don’t have to worry about being leader anymore as I will be a better leader than you’ll ever be. I’ll destroy every dimension you’ve come in contact with and this waste of a planet to show you how powerful I can be.” She promised and Harmony glared at her

“You shouldn’t underestimate this planet.” She warned

You shouldn’t underestimate me.” She warned, sending on more blast quickly, vaporizing Harmony instantly and leaving her talentment behind, successfully ending the royal family of Starteria forever. She looked at the talentments, lying on the ground and goes to touch one. But as she did, the ground began to tremble underneath her and she fell over. She flew up from the ground and looked at the earth’s surface, cracks forming on the ground and she looked on surprised. Additionally, bright rainbow light shoots out of the ground and strikes her in the arm.

“What is that?!” She asked annoyed. She creates a shield around her and flies into the crack and notices a large rainbow light orb in the centre of the planet. “Hmm interesting.” She remarked, rushing to get a hold of the orb but she gets zapped by its powerful energy. She saw her arm gaining a rainbow scar on her arm and knew it was time to leave. This power was more powerful than she imagined and had to leave it behind. She flew and saw the talentments falling through the cracks. As she desperately wanted to get that power, she tried to grab them quickly but her arm twitched in pain over the scar she had received. She had no choice but to leave her goal behind and flies off to the Dark Clipse above the planet. The rainbow lights slowly dimmed and the planets cracks slowly healed over the years and soon the memory of the planets rainbow orb was forgotten.

——————————————————————————

The Star Covers stared in horror and disbelief over what was just presented to them. The Eldress sat in her throne, looking grim and guilty. It is clear that the dimensions were never the same after the witch’s attack and The Eldress taking the role of leader was not a decision made by her.

“So what happened to the princes?” Cassie asked.

“After the princesses were killed, the princes were so devastated that they remained in their dimension till the end of their reign, refusing to marry another. As a result, no heir to the throne was conceived. So the position was passed onto the current ruler The Elder. She was a member of the royal family who took the position after the tragic death of her parents and arrest of her older brother.” She answered

“And the Dark Clipse started destroying dimensions left and right?” Tanya questioned

“They do. But they haven’t dare attempt to attack us yet because she knows I was there. That’s why we don’t allow any Dark Clipse scoundrels into our beloved dimension.” She responded

“But surely they all aren’t bad people right?” Maya questioned

“My dear, The Dark Clipse is full of monsters and criminals. They will soon spread their villainy onto their children.” She added. “Even the ones who defected from that place who ended up here.” All The Star Covers were a bit surprised by her statement but they kept that feeling to themselves.

“And you girls are gonna save us from them. They have caused enough harm to this world and the rest of the universe. But thanks to the ancient prophecy, you girls have enough power to end their reign of terror and destruction upon the rest of the dimension. We are all counting on you and I’m certain that you will free us from our enemies and sins. Now you better hurry back home. You said you have school in the morning.” She concluded. Everyone started leaving the new futuristic city of Starteria and started taking the large elevator of the Tower of Stars.

“Katherine. Come here will you?” She asked. Katherine turned to the leader and came to her. She looked at her leaders bright purple eyes and her serious expression

“Yes Eldress?” She asked with a small smile.

“Listen to me. The rest will be counting on you for guidance and support. As a leader you must never let your thoughts control you. Guardians are meant to protect and serve the people at all times and if you must do everything in your power to protect them, even lose your own life, then that is a duty you must be willing to take on. Their lives are precious and they must be your priority. Understood?” She explained.

“Yes. I would do anything for my family and friends. But why are you asking me this?” She asked

“Harmony was the oldest of her sisters. They were following her guidance and it resulted in their deaths. You can’t let the same fate happen to your friends.” She explained. Katherine didn’t knew how to feel but knew that The Eldress is very intelligent and very respectful so Katherine simply nodded.

“Understood. They’ll be safe and I’ll do whatever it takes to help them.” The Eldress smiled warmly. She patted Katherine’s shoulder and wished her safe travels back to Earth. Katherine joined her friends and came to the guardian spire, a huge amount of pressure laying on her as she watched her friends embrace each other. They activate the console inside the bright purple guardian spire and a large light surrounds them and they fly off and land on earth. Outside, they saw Kiss outside waiting for them.

“So how was it?” Gene asked.

“There was a lot that they never told us.” Hailey answered.

“It’s like they want us to get killed.” Kelsey remarked annoyed.

“The Eldress went through that whole experience remember. She probably is still shaken up by it.” Paul informed. “I wouldn’t be so quick to judge right now. Come on, let’s go home.” They got inside of their cars. They had a long drive from Boyd’s Cove to St. John’s and it was already 8 pm. Katherine went over to Paul and she looks up at the small red star in the sky.

“Paul do you think we’ll stop them from attacking the earth?” She asked

“We’ve been fighting them for over 30 years now. Even though we’ve had so many losses and injuries, I still have hope that things will get better. As long as we help each other and everyone else, we’ll be just fine. Trust me ok? Everything’s gonna be alright.” He assured her. Katherine nods and joins her friends in Gene’s car. However, during the drive, she couldn’t stop thinking about what The Eldress told her

“Harmony led her sisters and it resulted in their deaths. You can’t let the same mistake happen again. If you must sacrifice your life to protect everyone, that is a duty you are willing to take on.” Katherine realized that guardians are here to protect, they don’t have time for themselves. Katherine knew what needs to be done

“I’ll make sure none of my friends gets killed. I’m a guardian and I will fight to keep them safe. I don’t know how but it’s my life and I will use it to protect them”
