After being struck down by her own father, Zoe Nightshade was lying there on the ground dying. She was acutely aware of the people surrounding her body as her vision began to fade. Her eyes were fixed on the sky above her. "Stars," she whispered. "I can see the stars again, my lady."
"Yes, my brave one." Said a familiar voice. It was the voice of her mistress, Artemis, whom she served for thousands of years as her lieutenant. Now her service was coming to an end. "They are beautiful tonight."
"Stars," Zoe said with her final breath.
"Let the world honor you my huntress," Artemis said over her ex-lieutenant. "Live forever in the stars." With Artemis's final gift, Zoe's soul became immortalized in the night sky as a celestial spirit.
When Zoe Nightshade woke up, she was standing on a platform surrounded by stars and planets all around her. She couldn't believe her eyes and then her mistress's final words to her echoed in her mind. Live forever in the stars.
"Thank you, my lady." She said silently. As she looked around her, she noticed strange looking creatures coming towards her. They were very small and came in various colors. Also, she noticed, all of them had round heads almost bigger than their bodies and pointy cones that she assumed were their noses. Having hunted monsters for thousands of years, she became wary of these strange creatures.
"Do not be afraid. The Canis Minor are only here to celebrate the arrival of the new celestial spirit." She turned around and jumped as she faced with a colorful giant. "Welcome to the Celestial World, realm of the stars. I am the Celestial Spirit king."
"My name is Zoe Nightshade, former lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis. Would you mind telling me what a celestial spirit is?"
"Celestial spirits are guardians of the night sky. Each constellation is a celestial spirit. As you cans see, the goddess Artemis immortalized your soul into the night sky." He gestured to an area of stars and they rearranged to form an image of a girl holding a bow and arrow. Zoe realized that it was herself that the collection of stars formed into. "Now you are a celestial spirit and will forever be a guardian."
Zoe realized that Artemis had once again given her an immortal life. She sent a silent prayer of thanks to her former mistress knowing that she will receive it despite being galaxies away. "Now," the Spirit King interrupted her thoughts. "It is time to debrief you on your new role as a celestial spirit." The next thing she knew, she and the Spirit King were flying through space. "You must know that there are millions of worlds in the universe other than the one you are familiar with." As they zoomed past stars, images of different worlds appeared which reminded her of iris messages. The idea of other worlds was not too much of a surprise as she lived in the world of gods when she was alive on Earth. They came to a stop at one image of a world in which magic was everywhere and was not hidden by the mist. The Spirit King began, "This particular world has beings known as celestial mages who are able to summon celestial spirits with gate keys such as this." An object appeared in front of Zoe. It was a bronze key with a bow and arrow symbol. "This key was forged out of celestial bronze by Artemis herself when you became a celestial spirit. It will enable a celestial mage to open the Gate of the Huntress and summon you into their world. This celestial mage will be your master and you must serve them to do whatever they require you to do. Given your skillset, it will most likely involve what you do best which is hunt."
"May I make one request?" asked Zoe.
"Of course."
"I would like only female mages to have the honor to possess my key and become my mistress. This way I can honor my oath to swear off men in gratitude to my former mistress."
"Very well then," said the Spirit King. He then waved his hand and the key flew towards the world of mages known as Earthland like a shooting star. Now all that's left to do is wait for her new mistress to summon her.
