+Every year on the anniversary date of the fall of [[The First]] is the celebration of Starfest, held to commemorate another year of success and prosperity for the [[Astrali]] and all of [[Kunvadis]]. It is considered the turnover of the new year for [[Kunvadis]], and this year celebrates the switch to the year 325. Although the official anniversary date is the 14th of July, it is celebrated throughout the entire month.
+This year's Starfest started as any of the past celebrations, with thousands of [[Stellaborn]] converging on [[Starhaven]] to sell their wares, celebrate, and enjoy time together. Stands of goods lined the streets past the Starlight Market, and the [[Magosoul|Magosoul's]] wandered and feasted on the excitement of the festivities.
+That was, until a large goopy mass of black and green appeared in the center of the festival, draining the color from the area around it.
+"Prepare yourselves!" The familiar voice of [[Zissel Feralstride]] yelled out through the crowd, running towards the swirling mass of grim, distaste and anger lining her face. "Either show yourself or leave, monster! You are not wanted here."
+As if her voice activated the magic in the mysterious object, the crowd quickly ducked as pieces of the mass separated into free bubbles that began to fill any of the empty spaces around them. Some quick thinkers did away with the sudden seperation with magic, {{vioness-humanivi-bust.png?275 |Vioness Bust Art}}before the ground began to shake and the grim void began to tremble. A silky, almost serpent-like voice responded in a pout, "Is that really how you welcome the return of your sister? But I brought gifts!"
+A black and green Beastion emerged from the void, her hand raising to her lips to blow a loud, and almost ear-splitting whistle. As she stepped through and adjusted to the solidness of the ground below her, hundreds of tall, hulking creatures followed after her, thundering into [[Stellagos]] like a stampede. Most stuck to the ground, but several took off with large wings into the air with whinnying cries of triumph.
+"Aren't they beautiful?" The mysterious [[Astrali]] purred, her attention solely focused on [[Zissel Feralstride|Zissel]]. "I would think you'd be much happier about such lovely creatures, [[Zissel Feralstride|Zi]]. Let alone the stories and knowledge I can share!"
+{{ zissel-humanivi-bust.png?200|Zissel Bust Art}}
+"You destroyed and sucked the magic out of our entire family estate last I saw you, [[Vioness Feralstride|Vioness]]! Why would I have any joy seeing you return, let alone when there are thousands to potentially be destroyed by your [[magic]]? Your grim necromancy has done enough, yet you bring more devastation. How will these creatures destroy us now?"
+"These creatures are not of the grim, my dear, yet unintelligent, sister. This portal is, as I have been able to visit worlds and universes far beyond our own! I have found a place called 'Earth' with these weird beings called 'Humans', thousands of light years away from us. A planet in which only these creatures, the [[Spartian]], run free with their hierarchy and bright intellect! I have so much to share, and goddesses forbid, I wanted to share them with my own."
+As the sisters argued, members of [[The Constellation]] quickly approached, with [[Hypselle Aster]] diverting from the group as [[Queen Batea]] rushed to destroy several bubbles with her flames. "[[Vioness Feralstride|Vioness]], it is surprising to see you return. After your...exit at [[The Marr of Vioness]], we thought you had left for good."
+The dark Beastion smiled a sinister, winning smile, "You named it after me? I'm flattered, [[Hypselle Aster|Hypselle]]."
+"Your portal here pulls from the very planet that you call home, yet you made it anyway. Your grim only thrives off the pain of the life around it, and it cannot continue to grow." The old [[Astrali]] snorted, yet her anger wavered reluctantly as she sighed. "Yet, [[The Constellation]] does not know your knowledge nor your ability, and would wish to learn how to recreate it //without// the hit to [[Kunvadis]]. You shall be taken into custody, yet we will not pull you from the festivities so that you and everyone else here may still celebrate Starfest. You will tell us your stories of these [[Spartian|Spartians]] and these 'Humans' for not only research purposes, but to ensure that Starfest is a success."
+[[Vioness Feralstride|Vioness]] turns her attention to [[Zissel Feralstride|Zissel]] once more, her glowing green eyes swirling with pride and victory. "Enjoy Starfest, my beloved sister. I'm sure we will see each other soon."

Over the sound of their cheers is the warm voice of an [[Astrali]] standing beside [[Locket on a Heart]], interpreting the small Beastion's signs.

+{{ cerrik-humanivi-bust.png?250|Cerrik Bust Art}} Wandering through the stalls of [[Starhaven|Starhaven's]] market district surrounds you with the excited chatter and laughter of sellers and buyers alike, before the flash of a bright green light draws your attention from the festivities. Few seem surprised by the sudden brightness, but your curiosity draws you towards its origin.
+\\
+\\ "You all are so furious by the absolute //genius// that [[Vioness Feralstride|Vioness]] has brought us, yet none of you understand the marvel, the beauty, the //fashion// that this has brought us!"
+\\
+\\ [[Cerrik Dotirum]] is standing in the middle of a plaza, in a form you have never seen before, but you recall [[Vioness Feralstride|Vioness]] mentioning the strange creatures known as Humans, and you assume that this might be what one might look like. [[Cerrik Dotirum|Cerrik]] smiles as you approach, his features foreign yet familiar. "Are you not impressed by the pure beauty of this form? This discovery leads to much potential for the unique diversity of [[Stellagos]]! You see, I can choose to look entirely like those 'humans' [[Vioness Feralstride|Vioness]] showed us, or I can add flair: not quite human, yet humanoid." As he flicks his hair over his shoulder, his keen and judging gaze runs over you.

+{{batea-humanivi-bust.png?250 |Batea Bust Art}} Towards the center of the festivities is where there are several [[The Constellation|Constellation]] members purifying portal bubbles that are seeking unhealthy power sources. Off to the side is [[Hypselle Aster]], ensuring worried partygoers that the portals will be properly taken care of, and their power sources redirected into something that will ensure that [[Stellagos]] continues to thrive.
+\\
+\\ Before you can approach her, [[Queen Batea]] of the [[Tartyn]] approaches you, a small flicker of flame swirling around her palm. "[[Hypselle Aster|Aster]] has it handled over there, yet we need to ensure that these festivities do not falter and these necromantic bubbles do not latch to more of healthy [[Edall]]. I assume you know at least the very basics of [[Magic]], so you should be able to assist. Follow." She leads you toward a relatively large bubble patch of micro portals, the flame surrounding her arm extending to several sections of the grim. They burn away the magic as if it were never there.
+\\
+\\ "If you have the prowess, destroy the bubbles with your [[magic]], as that will help lessen the spread of the sick. However, if you know only a little, create little sparks and fireworks that could battle the stars with their brightness. Spread awe and joy to ensure that the party continues, and that the [[Magosoul]] does not leave. They are imperative to keeping these portals from clumping together to something even more dangerous."
