The night breeze whispered through the leaves of the nearby trees. Lucy took a deep breath – this was the moment she had been waiting for. The moment when she finally got to try doing her higher stardust magic. Feeling very excited, she tucked her long chestnut-brown hair behind her ears. Please let me be able to do it, she thought.
Hearing a rustle she glanced around. A dog fox was paddling out of the trees around the edge of the clearing. He gave her a curious look and then trotted on his way, his russet-red fur gleaming in the moonlight. Lucy smiled and watched him go. It was weird to think that just a few months ago she would have been very scared if she had found herself alone in the middle of the woods at midnight. But that was before she’d discovered hat she was a stardust spirit.
