@Lunaria Light shone through the stained glass windows of the Temple of Epona, colorful rays cascading onto the marble floor inside. It was a fairly moderate-sized temple, not too large but not overly small either. An altar with ever burning candles lit on it danced a fiery warmth, their heated glow illuminating a certain unicorn who was praying at this altar.
Stardust prayed for a little girl she had met while visiting the mortal realm several layers down from this reality, her home plane of Kalona, the twilight realm. Lovely songbirds sang their tunes at these times, the periods of dusk and dawn. Moonflowers also only opened up their petals then, before closing back up once the morning or night rolled around in full. It was truly a beautiful, magical time then, these twilit hours, more so than usual. Magic was said to be strongest at these times of day, good magic that is. Prayers were more likely to be heard and answered then too.
The silver unicorn finished her praying and stood up on all fours, stretching out her limbs, tail swishing back and forth as she left an offering of a white gem, dropping it from her mouth in the basket by the base of the altar. Bowing her head at the statue of Epona, Stardust took her leave then and left the temple. She hoped the little girl would find a family to adopt her soon, as she had been an orphan at her birth. Emalu was her name, a sweet little human child of five years. She deserved a loving family, one who would both love and cherish her until the end of her mortal days.
A star blinked in the night sky then, along with the last notes of a songbird sounding as it was already dark when Stardust emerged from the temple. It was a sure sign her prayer was on its way to being answered and soon. The unicorn smiled and bowed at the twinkling star in gratitude before continuing on her way. She wished to travel again to the lands below, the world of Earth it was called. Stardust had been there many times before and she wanted to do so again, as well as see who else she could help to guide them forth to a better life.
Enacting her Plane-Walking ability, the unicorn soon faded from sight and reappeared next to a small pond with colorful flowers growing nearby it, a duck swimming in its not so still waters as its feathery movement rippled the smooth surface. This was one of her two favorite places to visit here, and so she settled down near the water and relaxed, just enjoying being. Tomorrow she would check on the little girl and see how things were going at the orphanage she stayed at. Stardust wished to give the little girl a blessing as she began a fresh start at her new home. For now, the unicorn of light would rest a bit.
Closing her eyes she began to drift off into a soft slumber, the night sky a black palette of celestial beauty with the many stars shining above, just like it was back home. It was a tranquil time for her and she was happy. Little did she know her world would soon shatter to pieces, taking her down a dark and dreary path from which she might not ever return from.
