"Shut up, I've brought a even better gift than you" - Kaiser said getting irritated -
" oh really , we'll see " - Cale said -
" here" - Kaiser handed her a necklace with a sword shaped locket on it -
" a necklace ?"
"It's -" - Kaiser was just about to say something when Cale interrupted him -
"it's just a necklace, how can it be a better gift than a magical sword " - he said -
" it's not just a necklace " - Kaiser said -
" den wat" - Asteria was confused -
" the necklace, when it comes in contact with mana it turns into a sword , it can also become a sceptre, you've to pour a bit of the mana in this necklace to mark it as your own , it will always listen to you " - He explained -
"it's a nice gift but you also choose a sword after all" - Cale said and chuckled -
' it's your son's fault that he also brought a sword as a gift , how dare he ' - Kaiser thought and was annoyed -
'wow, so magical ' - Asteria thought -
"tank you , it's really a special gift " - she said and smiled brightly at Kaiser , he was somehow overwhelmed by her and was shocked -
"there's no need to thank me , daughter " - his face softened up with a smile -
'I've never seen him smile like that after that incident ' - Cale thought and was shocked -
"hey hey now it's my turn " - Rafael said rushing towards her, he held her hand , kneeled down and said with a smiled , giving her a tiara with a Jem named 'eyes of the ocean' and two sapphires embedded on it -
" happy birthday , my cute little sister "
'it's gorgeous ' - she thought -
" t-tank you" - she was amazed -
" my pleasure sister " - he smiled -
__AN HOUR LATER __
'I want to get out of here ' - Asteria sighed -
' I'm tired of saying thank you to so many people one by one '
- Kaiser noticed her sighing and said while lifting her up-
"let's step out "
"but da party iz still going on , we cand leaf the party" - Asteria said -
" you don't need to stay here till the end of it, the party will continue and it's already dark , let us go see the night sky" - Kaiser and Asteria then left the room -
'is it really alright ' - she thought -
'where are they going?' - Rafael noticed Kaiser and Asteria leaving the room so he followed them out -
___OUTSIDE THE PALACE __

'the sky is full of stars'
