The Lantern Corps - IC

[AcerbusX]

Star Sapphire Celestine:

You are called to the throne room by your queen, upon arrival you see your sister sapphires gathered around the large Star Sapphire crystal located at the center of the throne room. You know that this crystal is the largest on the planet Zamaron and has many uses. among them a viewing device that can look just about anywhere in the universe. Currently the image being shown is that of a distressed girl on a strange planet.

"Celestine" the queen calls to you "The sapphire has found a heartbroken one who needs the healing power of love. Go to her and claim her in the name of Star Sapphires"

Orange Lantern Harkle:

You are thoroughly enjoying your one of many meals of the day, you look up as servants bring in more food. as usual they don't look directly at you. they keep their heads bowed low in fear of incurring your wrath due to a stray look. all around your opulent room, which is just short of a palace, there are the greatest treasures from all over the planet. All of which you hoard happily. This is your world, even the planetary government knows that. And nothing can dislodge you from your position. all thanks to the glowing orange ring on your finger.

As you scoop up the last bite of your meal, the whole building begins to shake violently, at first you think it's a planet-quake. but then three large hands punch through the ceiling, and one swift move the hands rip a huge hole, revealing a large orange construct of an alien creature. The strange creature tossing the section of ceiling aside as another alien floats down. The one is slightly larger then your average person, and is reptilian like in appearance. He's wearing a black and orange outfit with a symbol that looks like you ring on his shoulders. Tied around those shoulders is a orange construct of a rope that is tied on to a orange lantern. and on his finger you see a ring just like yours.

The creature looks at you and points his finger at your ring and says in a low deep voice 'MINE!"

Celestine

Entering the Throne room, Celestine quickly made her way towards the Queen and the sapphire crystal. She could feel its energy, and always felt at ease around it, perhaps it was more a subconscious reaction though. "Yes? my Queen," she greeted, giving her the respect she deserved with a bow of the head. She wasn't a formal sort of person, but to the Queen she didn't give attitude.

"The sapphire has found a heartbroken one who needs the healing power of love. Go to her and claim her in the name of Star Sapphires" The Queen explained, giving Celestine her duty.

Looking upon the crying girl, Celestine remembered her facial features and other distinguishing marks. Not that the ring wouldn't lead her there anyway, but more just for her personal memory. She would seek out this girl and do what she could to repair a broken heart.

"I'll do so with haste," Celestine replied, before heading for one of the outer observation decks.

Flying towards the outer atmosphere, she cast a protective force-field around herself so she could breathe in space and not be smashed apart at high speed by small fragments of space junk or rocks/ice.

After reaching space, she took a brief moment to fly backwards away from Zamaron. It was a beautiful planet, one she had called home for a while now. But her observations were drawn short as she returned to her duty.

Opening a portal, or wormhole, she entered it and crossed the distance between planets in a fraction of the time. Coming out the other side, she looked upon the heart broken girls home planet, or current planet of location. The ring buzzed, sensing her.

Flying around the planet quickly, she locked in on a general continent and headed down through the atmosphere, the heat not effecting her. Once back into the normal atmosphere she lowered the force-field to save her rings charge, and instead flew at high speed towards the country and then town or city or remote jungle the ring directed her towards.

Upon arriving, she looked out over the scene below her.

Star Sapphire Celestine:

Below is a heartbreaking scene, a lovely young girl appears to be alone in her dark room. holding a picture you can't see, and weeping mournfully.

Orange Lantern Harkel:

The alien slowly descends to the ground, followed by his very large construct. The alien slowly walks toward you, bathed in orange light that you know is his own shielding, "I am Larfleeze, the one and ONLY orange lantern in the universe. and the ring is mine. give it to me!"

Celestine

Lowering enough to peer in through the window, Celestine doesn't plan on watching for very long. Instead, she lightly taps her finger on the glass, hoping to catch the weeping girls attention.

Still hovering, and dressed as a Star Sapphire, she knows that her appearance can shock unknowing people. But her facial features are nothing but caring and warm at the moment, even if she can be a tide of anger sometimes. Love is such a strong emotion, after all.

"Excuse me," she says loud enough that they might hear but that the other people in the house or neighbor's won't.

"I mean you no harm, dear soul, but need to speak with you. May I come in, my name is Celestine. I'm here to help sooth the pain."

 

[AcerbusX]

Star Sapphire Celestine:

The weeping girl looks up and sees you. oddly you don't see any real reaction to your stunning appearance, she gets to her feet, and as if in a trance. shuffles to the window and opens it wide. then steps back and says in a low mournful, almost regretful voice "Yes, please come in, I would welcome the help of a Star Sapphire"

Celestine

Stepping in through the window, Celestine stands up straight and rests her hands on her hips. Her gaze is squarely on the girl's face, and soon she moves forward and envelopes the girl in a hug. It's both loving and strong. Then, as if sensing an ability to speak on the situation, she lets go.

Taking a seat on the bed, she crosses one leg over the other and pats the covers beside her.

"Sit down and tell me what upsets you, I'll do my very best to help you."
