Hiiii... So I'm back, sorry for leaving all the time, but this time I'll try to stay here and interact more with the Wish AU fandom (if they want, of course :] ) Especially because now I really want to write my own Wish AU, which I already have a few posts about, but I never did anything consistent, so let's get started.
First, I would like to start chronologically with the story, so I thought it would be most appropriate to begin with Haedus, who is my starboy in the rewrite and is the younger version of himself, but I want to clarify how the magic system works here:
The stars are divided into classes of power. Those of the highest rank are the ones who can come down to earth to help people. Those of the middle rank can interfere with their magic directly, but they do not materialise or go down there. Finally, there are those of the lowest rank, who can only give what are known as “strokes of luck”. But above all, there are some stars that are respected and powerful throughout the galaxy. I am talking about the two classic Disney stars who have never shown themselves in person to the other stars and are basically treated like gods or masters.
On the other hand, the higher-ranking stars are responsible for teaching the stars their place and how to control their powers. They also assign each one which wish they will grant or whether they can go down there to help with the wishes. However, this sometimes creates problems in the community because there are stars who bother others or discriminate due to class differences.
Now, returning to Haedus, he was born a star with IMMENSE power, without exaggeration, which you might say is a good thing, right? Not really. You see, the power of a star also depends on how well it controls itself, including its emotions. If it doesn't control itself, it can cause disasters for everyone in the galaxy, so Haedus's case is very risky. If he loses his temper, he can be a threat.
This led to everyone being afraid of him and not wanting to approach him, which was sad for him, as he is very energetic and always sought the approval of others, but never got it. The only thing that remains in his memories are the fearful looks they gave him without him knowing why. The only stars he spoke to were some high-ranking ones who were in charge of watching over him and teaching him to control his powers, and above all, a friend who did what no one else dared to do: he saw Haedus for what he was, a star who just wanted to make friends and fulfil wishes like everyone else. They became inseparable in a short time (I would even say that Haedus may have developed feelings for his friend). However, everything was ruined one day.
As I have already explained, the higher stars decide who fulfils wishes and who does not. Well, they decided to agree that, due to the risks, Haedus would never go down to Earth or be given the opportunity to perform wish magic. They always distracted him or made him unaware that they were manipulating him into obeying them, until one night Haedus' friend got a pass to go down and grant his first wish to someone. At this point, our starboy is desperate to prove that he is not a threat, that he can do it right, so he begs his friend to let him go undercover with him to help him grant wishes, as a team at least, to prove his worth.
In the end, his friend simply refuses, saying he cannot risk his opportunity. That he cannot create a THREAT to the rest of the stars. What would happen if something went wrong?
An argument breaks out, one in which Haedus can no longer contain his frustration and anger. He can no longer bear being rejected, and even his best friend sees him as a danger to everyone. He loses control, his magic destroys everything around him, and oh, I almost forgot to tell you!
The only things capable of harming or killing a star are other stars.
Haedus doesn't remember well what happened next, he could only watch as his friend almost died in his arms, and worst of all, it was his fault.
His already poor reputation is now non-existent. Everyone fears and hates him, considering him a monster who should never have existed in the first place and who could harm them all. Now, all he can do is flee and escape from those who want to destroy him in order to rid themselves of the danger he represents.
His personality changed a lot after that. Now he is more blunt, more sarcastic, and has lost all hope of being accepted. He tries to hide it with jokes and acid humour. He may seem capricious and confident, but in reality he only does so to hide how miserable he feels. He actually has a good heart and still wants to fulfil the wishes of others, but he refuses to trust them.
This is Haedus' current design, and you may be wondering who the other two are? Well, let me tell you that I wasn't so mean as to leave our Starboy alone in space.
He is Naos, and together with his twin brother Nembus, they form the duo that Haedus found one day and decided to take under his wing. They basically see Haedus as their older brother and only source of support, as the twins stood out from the beginning for their lack of power and were always bullied until the older one arrived and defended them. Now they are his only companions and the only thing that keeps Haedus sane.
Naos is the most energetic of the three. He never stops talking and asking questions about basically everything. He is very curious, like Nembus, and before meeting his older brother, he was the one who defended Nembus and him from the other stars. However, he is also the most mischievous and, to a certain extent, childishly selfish, so Haedus is the one in charge of educating him and keeping him in line so that he does not destroy or bother the other stars that bother the three of them (although in the latter case, Haedus makes exceptions and decides to help him and Nembus cause disasters in space as revenge against the other stars).
I would also like to mention that the three of them can see most fairy tales from the sky, which, due to their lack of connection to other stars, leaves them with plenty of free time to observe. Naos loves doing this because he always finds the stories interesting (Haedus only watches because he has to accompany his brothers and also because he likes seeing the clothes everyone wears, especially how they are made, while Nembus is mainly interested in the music created by humans and animals), so I would say that when he arrives on Earth with Asha, he will write fairy tales invented by himself, and Haedus and Nembus fully support him.
Anyway, Nembus is the shyest of the brothers, but that doesn't mean he isn't curious about the world. Although he doesn't talk much, he likes to communicate by creating fairy dust figures.
Apart from that, on the rare occasions when he uses his voice, he does so to sing and create music, as he finds it easier to express himself that way
Haedus is a great big brother. He may be a bit of an idiot, but he would give anything for his little brothers. He doesn't want them to go through what he did at their age, so he does everything he can to distract them from the other stars who want to hurt them and tries to make them laugh as much as possible, even if it sometimes ends up exhausting him.
Before I go, I would like to tell you that Haedus and his brothers arrive on Earth through a deal... one that is not very safe and that our star boy completely regrets.
Because good magic comes from the stars, but when it comes to dark magic, where do you think it comes from?
This was the only option Haedus had to obtain permission to go down and fulfil someone's wish in order to prove that he is not a monster and be accepted again, but not because he wants to be accepted, he just wants to stop having to hide with his brothers and be in constant danger. He couldn't bear to lose them.
But in the end, things don't turn out well. The three stars were supposed to go to a fairy-tale-like world to complete their task, but let's just say that thanks to the power of the Disney star, that doesn't happen, and Haedus is teleported to a modern world, a city called Rosas, with a girl named Asha who is just as confused as he is. Now all he can do is help her get home and try again to complete his mission
Haedus' relationship with the two stars of the North is... peculiar. He knows they are like gods, but in reality he doesn't care much about them. In fact, he can communicate with them sometimes. Think of it as Jack Frost's relationship with the man in the moon!
They have spoken with Haedus very few times throughout his life, but that was enough for our star boy to constantly ask them why they let him live with this power and why they don't help him fix things (basically, he behaves like a moody teenager with them, but don't blame him, it's the only time he can be like that because afterwards he has to take care of Nembus and Naos).
That's all I have for now, see you next time!
