01:29The Princess Who Saw the Stars

01:59once wept. And a star fell to earth, splitting its soul in two. Of course, Grandpa also says

02:07he once spoke to the stars. Can you believe that? No, he's right. I've heard other people say it

02:14too. A star fell here. Old tales, my friend. Stars don't fall. They're just fireflies, I guess.

02:29At the age of ten, Princess Shine first discovered the patterns that set her apart from the world.

02:42Patterns in the sky, and sometimes on the heads of the people. These patterns always came

02:48with an inner voice, which she sometimes thought was not hers. That's a sign. Rain will come,

02:57but not now. She should be careful. She's going to trip. Trip? But she hasn't even moved

03:13yet, Your Highness. Watch.

03:27How did you know? It's not the first time. It's the stars.

03:38As she grew, Shine found herself increasingly isolated. The very gift that once made her

03:45special became the source of her alienation. Her warnings became a cause for concern for

03:51everybody who assumed that, Shine only brings bad news. If this wasn't enough, Shine thought

03:59the same. Somehow, around the same time, the kingdom began to suffer.

04:05What? A bad apple? This has never happened before.

04:10Years passed, and the people of the kingdom tried everything in their power to change the fate

04:23of their kingdom. There is a treasure buried deep in the ocean.

04:29Let's go then. Anything to bring back the glory days.

04:33But nothing worked. And on the other end, Shine, who was now all grown up, was still inside the

04:41library, cooped up with her trusted aide by her side. Though Marcus became her only true companion,

04:49she was still running from her gift, assuming that she indeed was the problem.

04:54Don't you ever get tired of being alone here?

04:58Shine wanted to pour her heart out. She wanted to tell Marcus how she felt alienated.

05:03And wanted to give up all her strange powers, and not know the future ever.

05:09But Marcus was the only one who didn't see Shine as someone different.

05:13When they first met, Shine saw a friendly pattern on his head.

05:18And she knew that Marcus was the only one she could trust.

05:23But Shine could not risk her only friend by discussing something she didn't fully understand herself.

05:29I'm not alone. I just don't fit in.

05:36Ah, of course you do. Listen, there's a fair in the market. How about we go there and get out of

05:42these dim walls for a bit?

05:44I am not allowed outside.

05:46Well, what if nobody sees the princess?

05:59Something was up. She could feel it. The pattern she saw on his head was unmistakable, dangerous.

06:17The future had spoken.

06:20He is up to no good.

06:25Shine forgot her purpose there.

06:27It was to keep a low profile.

06:30And keep it to herself.

06:32She was angry at the men.

06:35Why are you here?

06:37What's it to you?

06:38I know what you're planning. You won't get away with it.

06:43But, but we are mere tourists.

06:46But it was too late indeed. Everybody was now looking at the princess.

06:50I tried to keep you away from yourself, child. But I failed you.

07:07No, father. I failed you.

07:09Maybe I was wrong about those people.

07:12I don't want to see these patterns.

07:14Maybe I am sick, father. I need help. I am the problem. I will be in my room.

07:25Huh? Thunder in this season?

07:27I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

07:34I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

07:37Follow the hook. Follow the hook. Follow the hook.

07:41Shine rushed to the window and saw it.

07:45The hook made of stars in the sky with its rear towards the horizon.

07:49Shine was done denying her gift. She took her hoodie and her lamp and left that instant.

08:03Shine had no idea what she was looking at. Light beneath the surface?

08:08But before she could think, the stars burst from the ground as if waiting for her and rose to the sky over her head.

08:18And then it happened. Shine, too, was raised above the ground. And at last, the star had found its lost peace.

08:26Shine was not just Shine anymore. She had finally unearthed her star from beneath the surface.

08:42I know what I have to do.

08:44It is darker than usual today.

09:03Did you put out all the torches?

09:04As much as I could. Darkness is our friend today.

09:14Ah, wait. What is that?

09:17Blinding light through the insides of the palace.

09:19You, step aside. I'll not repeat myself.

09:33Surrender now, or face the consequences.

09:37We're not afraid of some palace princess. You, surrender.

09:42Think twice. You might not be able to handle if I surrender.

09:45Huh? Are you lost, princess?

09:50All right, then. You asked for it.

09:53You cannot hide your darkness from me. I see your greed, your malice.

09:57You carry darkness in your hearts. But light will always prevail. I will not let you harm my people.

10:04Shine opened her arms and let the light flow out freely from herself.

10:09She was the star's light. The kingdom's seer. Their protector.

10:14The light didn't affect anybody other than the bandits standing right in front of her.

10:20The force of the light was such that they were picked up and floated out of the palace.

10:25She was the star's light. She was the star's light. She was the star's light.

10:43Shine. What?

10:44Pardon me, father, but I have something to say.

10:58I see the patterns, both in the sky and in people. It is not a curse.

11:03I knew it.

11:10She is right, your majesty. I suspected it all these years. And now the truth is before us all.

11:17Princess Shine is the star that fell to this land centuries ago. The very star that has blessed this

11:23kingdom with peace and prosperity. She is its seer, its protector.

11:29She's the star? That's why she could see the future. But why has our kingdom landed into trouble?

11:41Because of me. I suppressed your powers. I am so sorry, princess.

11:47No, father. It was me. I let the weight of judgment and fear shape me into someone I am not.

11:53I stopped valuing myself, doubted my purpose, and turned away from the gift I was entrusted with.

11:58The stars were never angry. They were waiting for me to remember who I am.

12:03I was always different, and instead of embracing myself, I ran from it, letting my doubt and fear

12:08weaken me, and this kingdom alike. But I see it now. My power is not a curse. I will never run from who I am again.

12:18The kingdom finally saw their princess and accepted her for who she was. A light to guide them. A star to protect them.

12:29No longer misunderstood, Shine embraced herself. But she understood the dangers and risks of her power.

12:35It's surely a big responsibility to know people's futures shine.

12:40Yes, father. But I've learned that with patience, wisdom, and the courage to trust myself,

12:46I can carry this burden.

12:49I trust you, my child.

12:59I trust you, my child.

13:01I trust you, my child.
