[Luna POV]
With my face scrunched up in slight disgust, I tried biting into the apple only to hear unusual crunching noises. I toughed it out and once I completely swallowed the apple, I had to keep myself from throwing it up.
Hugh.
{Whats wrong?}
Hugh*Sigh* It was a literal golden apple. With emphasis on gold.
{Ah. So it wasnt just the taste that was tallic, but the apple was solid gold.}
From skin to core.
{Well, at least you didnt break any teeth.}
True. I an, its not like-
Before I could say anything else, my vision flickered, and I beca very dizzy. It looked like the world around was spinning in every direction possible at the sa ti. In my head, I started to hear an announcent like I did when I beca a demigod.

[ssage from GC: Congratulations on your ascension, Luna. I look forward to working with you from now on and hope you and Tamamo the best. In preparation for this even, Ive made it so that you wont feel pain when your two new tails appear, so go and make the creation of stars a spectacle for the ages. Oh, but do know that even with the pain gone, you will still feel fatigued, so be ready to pass out at any ti when your ascension is over.]
Once I finished reading the ssage, a massive magic circle appeared and spread from where I was standing out over the entire area of the shrine.
Whats this!?
{Its part of the preparations for this. It makes sure that when the explosion of power happens, it wont damage the shrine of the city outside the grounds. And now its ti for my turn. I got special permission to do this just for you, Luna.}
Do what?
{Ufufufu.}
While I was trying to focus on what was happening, the ground started to shake.
Ugh. Whatever youre doing, its not helping!
{Dont worry, its almost over.}
True enough, a minute or two later, the shaking stopped.
Whatjust happened?
{Oh, just making your shrine a floating one. Its an important place in the city, so of course it needs to be better than the royal castle. I made it so that it floats slightly higher than the castle island.}
Fufufufu. AHahahahahahahahahahaha! UGH.
I felt a massive surge of power welling up inside . It burned hot enough to feel cold while simultaneously being so cold it burned. The magic circle under my feet started to glow brighter and brighter in tandem with the surge of power.
{Ill be waiting for you, Luna.}
See you soon, Tamamo.
Deciding that I should do this sooner rather than later, I closed my eyes and focused on what I needed to do. I did my best to concentrate on my Star Authority. Once I taphorically grasped it, I started to use it.
Fu. Fufu. FufufufuahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
I made what I wanted to happen a reality once the power welling up inside hit its peak and burst. With a content smile on my face, my consciousness faded one last ti in the mortal world.
[3rd Person POV]
In the capital of the Celestia Kingdom, the people were in an uproar. Just a short while ago, a young kitsune woman with eight tails was seen walking through the city, heading in the direction of the recently constructed shrine. Most if not all people that saw this realized the implications of this and imdiately tried to follow the woman to her destination.
When the kitsune reached the main gate of the shrine, she stopped and pulled sothing from out of nowhere and then vanished. So people tried to enter the shrine to see if she had teleported inside, or if it was just an illusion, but they couldnt enter, no matter how hard they tried. While the people were puzzled, a small troupe of knights from the castle, led by the famous Princess Knight Nia, arrived at the shrine and asked for the citizens of the city to move away for safety.
The people cried out with questions of what was going to happen and if the royal family knew of what was happening. This is when the Princess Knight announced news that caused the entire city over to cheer. In the midst of this cheering, a giant magic circle appeared around the shrine, glowing with a mix of every color, known and unknown, and the ground started to shake. The knights and citizens closest to the Princess Knight heard her sigh in exasperation while mumbling sothing, but the spectacle that was happening in front of them ignore whatever it was she said.
The entire plot of land that the magic circle covered started to lift out of the ground before ascending into the sky. The process took only seconds, but once the land stopped moving, those with the best angle possible noticed that it flew into a higher position than the Castle Island. So people laughed at this with the thought that whatever god or goddess did this had a good sense of humor while others thought that it was disrespectful for a shrine to be higher than the castle.
While this spectacle was sothing that nobody had ever seen, they were rendered speechless by what happened next. The sun had just set and the moon was creeping over the horizon. This was the sa thing that happened countless tis since ti immorial. Tonight, however, was different. It was the people that were watching the island that noticed first. In the night sky, one by one, specks of silver light started to appear. It started slowly at first, but soon the speed picked up until the entire sky was filled with motes of sliver light that accompanied the moon. So considered this to be beautiful while others feared that it was a sign of calamity. These reactions were the sa for most people the world over, but to so individuals, they figured out what was happening.
They felt a change in their bodies. A mysterious magic affinity that appeared at so point a year or two ago that was deed worthless due to having no spells or other effects finally beca complete. As soon as the birth of stars seed to stop above their heads, sothing else started to change. The brightest stars in the sky started to move and change color. They ford two shapes and faint lines started to connect them together. The image of two, ten-tailed foxes, one blue, one silver, ford. The images then started to move about in a beautiful dance before coming to a rest on either side of the moon. They would move every so often, but remains seated next to each other, staring longingly at each other.
[Nia POV]
Hehehe. Luna, you always were one for theatrics. And I have to say, this was the best yet.
I looked up at the sky that was once an empty void now filled with moats of light. I smiled with feelings of happiness for Luna before tearing my eyes away from the sky. I looked over at one of my knights who was next to and was similarly looking at the sky.
I know its beautiful, but I need you to focus. (Nia)
Maam!
Go and start your preparations. We need to go around and explain to the people that a new goddess has been born and that this is a sign of good things to co. Get the others to snap out of it and prepare as well, were going to be really busy soon. (Nia)
Yes Maam!
The knight imdiately set to work rousing his comrades from the collective stupor as I started to do the sa.
[Amagi POV]
Shortly after Luna left, the rest of her party showed up at the shrine. They t us in the main courtyard of the shrine where we had set up a large blanket to watch the sky for Lunas spectacle. To pass the little ti before nightfall, we listened to the group as they spoke about the Island of Dragons. As we listened, I looked around at the everyone present. Sitting next to was Deacon, while a little way away, Ana and Blake sat close together. The sa was seen with Soleil and Velvet and Skadi and Ophidia. While Mio was sitting alone, we all knew that Fenrir was here in spirit, especially since Mio was excitedly chatting away into thin air. It started shortly after the moon rose. The sky was being filled with countless little lights. We all watched with rapt amazent.
Big sis always did like making things flashy. I wonder whats going on in the Celestia Kingdom right now? (Soleil)
A massive uproar, most likely. (Velvet)
Yes, but what about the other places master visited? She did say that she was going to walk around as much as possible just to get people excited. (Ophidia)
I kind of feel bad for the rulers Luna knows personally. King Dro and King Lobo are going to have a hard ti dealing with all of the implications of Luna becoming a goddess. (Skadi)
Arent you forgetting about the Demon Emperor nya? (Mio)
We didnt really stick around there long enough to actually beco friends with him, so I doubt big sis took the ti to visit him personally. (Soleil)
Thats nice an all, you guys, but youre missing the show. (Blake)
They all fell quiet again as they turned their gazes skyward once again. Two foxes had appeared in the sky and were dancing about.
Fufufu. I know she likes to brag, but shes really taking it all the way this ti. (Amagi)
Yeah. Though I wonder just how many people will actually understand what this actually ans. (Deacon)
Guess thats the job of her Apostles. (Ana)
Goddess Tamamos as well, mom. (Soleil)
True. Guess we need to spread the word as fast as possible then. (Ana)
Worry about that tomorrow, for now lets look at Lunas work. (Deacon)
We all fell silent again as we watched the foxes dance in the sky until they ca to rest beside the moon.
Ugh. (Soleil and Ana)
Whats wrong? (Velvet)
Stellar magic affinity just beca easier to use. (Ana)
I wouldnt say easier, but more like we can now use it without big siss domains. Honestly, it feels a little more potent too, though I dont know if thats just because Im the Apostle of Stars. (Soleil)
So, if all of us are Apostles except for Skadi, how long are we supposed to stay in the mortal world before we actually see Luna in her full divine glory? I an, we still have things we need to do, especially now that she ascended. (Velvet)
None of us knew how to answer that. While we sat there in contemplation, Deacon made a strange face.
Whats wrong, Deacon? (Amagi)
Grey just contacted . He said that we should wait for a little while before doing anything. He also advised that Lunas party should make their way to the Celestia Kingdom, but they dont have to rush. (Deacon)
Hmm. Then should we take the slow way? (Ophidia)
Itll give Lunya and Tamamo ti nya, so probably nya. (Mio)
Then we rest here for the rest of the night and start to move in the morning. (Soleil)
Always so hasty. You dont have to leave that soon. (Ana)
I just feel like we need to. I feel like if we dont leave as soon as possible, sothing is going to happen with big siss shrine that she wont like. (Soleil)
Then we should probably take the fast way there after all. Set up camp there and make sure we keep anyone away that might do sothing. (Velvet)
Grey just told that you dont have to worry about that. Take your ti. (Deacon)
How about we put this topic to rest? Now isnt the ti for this type of discussion, after all. (Amagi)
The others stopped saying anything and they looked back up at the sky. While staring at it, I couldnt help but feel happy at what my Little Luna made.
[Luna POV]
I didnt know how long it was, but when I started to wake up again, I found myself in a nostalgic position. I was laying on my back looking up at the sky. This ti, however, the moon was accompanied by stars.
Hey Tamamo, doesnt this remind you of the first ti we t? Only without all the being dead thing.
{It is extrely similar, though I feel like this ti is infinitely better.}
I wholeheartedly agree.
I slowly stood up and brushed off any dirt that was on . I then turned around to face Tamamo. Her long silver hair and tails shimred under the moon and starlight and her beautiful, shining golden eyes stared into mine. Tears of happiness were streaming down her face, and before I knew it, I was wrapped in an embrace and my lips were covered by hers. I started to kiss her back as I felt the sa kind of tears start running down my face and mixing with hers. We stopped kissing for a few seconds to speak.
Tamamo, Im ho.
{Welco ho, Luna.}
