Through the pink forest of leaves, Johnny walked slowly trying to keep away from the many yellows stars that were coming at him so he didn't get scratched. He tried ducking but it didn't help the bright shining stars fell into his body, no matter what he did, filling him with a golden light.

He tried to stay angry. He was on a mission to find his long last love. He knew she has been taken into the strange forest and had never come back out in over a fortnight. It was time. She had told him to wait but wait.....he couldn't.

It was time to be married, for them to have a family. He needed her like a drug to make it through his days. With her gone, he had nothing left and he knew it. The last two weeks proving it once again.

The bight golden stars started coming faster now, faster, faster into his body. You almost couldn't see him but for the golden glow that was now surrounding him as he slowly kept making his way forward through the pink forest of leaves.

Sasha's Story

---

---

Through miles of forest, Johnny walked forward, always forward. His body now was unrecognizable to anyone what would have happened by. He had turned into a shining star glowing, glowing, always moving forward.

The day was slowly waining when he came to a dead stop. In front of him was a deep moat. He looked around for any way across but none was to be seen. No bridge pulled up that he could climb, nothing floating in the clear blue water that was tinged pink from the reflections of the trees.

He didn't hesitate. Johnny, a golden, glowing ball of light, flung himself forward into the water not caring what would happen when the stardust finally hit the water. He needed his love. Knew without a shadow of a doubt she was inside the castle walls.

The events seen next have been talked about for eons. Passed from animal to animal, human, to human for generation after generation. This is what they saw.

A golden star flew up in the air, landed in the clear water that surrounded the castle, sent up a spray of golden moisture that covered the whole of the forest. Turning the pink leaves now golden.

Sounds could be heard from the water that was not quite human but not animal either.

The forest became silent. All creatures watched as a man slowly emerge, dripping wet, from the now golden moat shimmering in the moonlight, sending ripples of pink and golden light into the sky becoming a beacon of life's joy for all to witness.

The man, glowing with inner light, light that radiated out from him in waves of gold, made his way up to the Castle's door.

They saw him slowly head to the tall, carved wooden front door of the castle. Just before he reached the beautiful wooden door it opened slowly in front of him.

Inside the doorway, a beautiful Lady also glowing golden reached out her hand to the man. The man grabbed her, laughing, spinning her around and around until he started crying as she was even more beautiful then he had remembered.

Sasha, Queen of all the forests, had finally found her King. One she knew would be strong enough to help her rule the forests for years to come.
