Emerged From the Stars

        Beauty, light, wonder, the sight that stood before them could be called all of these things.  It looked as if millions of sparkling lanterns were floating down from the sky.  Flickers of falling flames looked like golden rain in the black night.   Soon the glowing stars had settled into a delicate swirling pattern around a closed white peony.  The glowing orbs dimmed and glowed,  seeming to breathe magic.  Then, The majestic flower surged and unfolded sending a shower of pink sparks into the air.
        The fairy council gasped, where they had been expecting a fairy, sat a beautiful baby girl.  Her golden hair and rosy pink cheeks seemed to glow in the starlight, and her blue eyes sparkled like sapphires.  She was clothed in a delicate pink  dress  flowing with many layers, like that of the flower which she had emerged from.
