Once upon a time, in the city of Stellaris, lived a very special woman named Ahgaddes. Ahgaddes was no ordinary woman; she could foretell the future. She was a very admired fortune-teller in the city. Every morning, she would gaze into her crystal ball or divine with tarot cards and predict what the day had in store.
Ahgaddes had a beautiful glow that everyone adored. Her eyes sparkled with wisdom, and her heart shined with kindness. Everyone loved Ahgaddes and respected her for her amazing gift.
But not everyone in Stellaris was kind-hearted. Renese, a vindictive woman, was often seen lurking around the city. She was once an Oracle in the Oracle Kingdom but was banished for her spiteful ways.
Renese was envious of Ahgaddes' glow and popularity. She wanted to steal Ahgaddes' light so she could shine brighter. 'If only I had her glow,' Renese would often say to herself. 'Then I would be the most adored woman in Stellaris!'
One day, Renese decided to act. She tried to sneak into Ahgaddes' house while she was away, hoping to steal her glow. But the spirits of the astral world were watching. They did not allow Renese to enter.
Undeterred, Renese tried again the next day. This time, she tried to disguise herself as Ahgaddes, thinking the spirits wouldn't recognize her. Again, the spirits stopped her.
Renese made many attempts, each time failing miserably. The spirits would not let anyone harm Ahgaddes or steal her glow.
'Why won't you let me in?' Renese demanded of the spirits. 'I need her glow more than she does!'
The spirits replied, 'Ahgaddes' glow is her own. It can't be taken or given. It's earned through kindness and wisdom. If you want to shine, you must find your own glow.'
Renese pondered over what the spirits had said. She realized that she had been wrong all along. She couldn't steal Ahgaddes' glow. Ahgaddes was too powerful. She had to find her own another way.
Ahgaddes learned through her tarot cards, the Oracles, and Spirits of what Renese intended to do. Which grew a sour place in Ahgaddes's heart concerning Renese. Ahgaddes knew that she would have to always be observant and on guard for any potential threat that may come her way.
From that day forward, Renese still refused to work on herself and her spiteful and bitter ways. Her higher-self from within whispered, 'We all have our own unique glow. We just need to find it.' she said to herself as she walked through Stellaris, Renese ignoring the voice of reason of her higher-self and bitterness, envy and spite began to grow much worse.
