Stardust Page #4

Synopsis: The passage from this world to the fantasy kingdom of Stormhold is through a breach in a wall beside an English village. In the 1800s, a boy becomes a man when he ventures through the breach in pursuit of a fallen star, to prove his love for the village beauty. The star is no lump of rock, it's a maiden, Yvaine. Tristan, the youth, is not the only one looking for her: three witches, led by Lamia, want her heart to make them young; and, the sons of the dead king of Stormhold want her because she holds a ruby that will give one of them title to the throne. Assisting Tristan are his mother, the victim of a spell, and a cross-dressing pirate of the skies. Will Tristan win his true love?

I've never opened it.

It's addressed to you.

Yep.

"My dearest Tristan, please know that

I only ever wanted the best for you."

Had my mistress allowed it,

I would have kept you in a heartbeat-

My dearest wish is that

we will meet someday-

The fastest way to travel

is by candlelight-

To use it, think of me and only me-

I will think of you every day, for always-

"Your mother."

Well, do you... Do you have a Iight?

Mother?

Oh! Oh, Mother, I'm so... I'm so sorry.

Are you all right?

No, I'm not.

And I'm not your mother, so get off me!

You're... You're not my mother?

Do I Iook Iike I'm your mother?

No.

Sorry.

Well, are you all right?

Do you want some help?

You can help by Ieaving me alone!

AII right.

Oh, my God.

"Light the candle and think of me."

I was. I was thinking of my...

But then Victoria and the star

just popped into...

Oh, excuse me, madam. Sorry.

This may seem strange, but

have you seen a fallen star anywhere?

-You're funny.

-No, really, we're in a crater.

This must be where it fell.

Yeah, this is where it fell.

It is. Or if you want to be really specific,

up there is where

this weird, bloody necklace

came out of nowhere

and knocked it out of the heavens

when it was minding its own business.

And over there is where it Ianded.

And right here, this is where it got hit

by a magical flying moron!

You're the star! You're the star? Really?

Oh, wow. I'm sorry.

I had no idea you'd be a...

May I just say in advance

that I am sorry?

-Sorry for what?

-For this.

Now, if I am not mistaken,

this means you have to come with me.

See, you're going to be a birthday gift

for Victoria, my true Iove.

But of course!

Nothing says romance Iike the gift

of a kidnapped, injured woman!

I'm not going anywhere with you.

Hurry. You should be

on your way now, Primus.

You must find the royal necklace

with the ruby before your brothers.

I should Iike to see you take the throne.

The first benevolent king.

I don't doubt Stormhold would be

a better place under your rule.

Really?

Well, that is fascinating.

-Don't you think, Tertius?

-Yes, indeed.

Prince Septimus! Tertius. Well... Well.

Well, well, I...

Since you're all here,

won't you join me in a toast?

What a very good idea.

To the new King of Stormhold,

whichever of you fine fellows

it might be.

To the new King of Stormhold.

You!

You really thought that you were king?

-You killed the Bishop?

-No, Primus.

I think you'II find that you killed the

Bishop by drinking out of the wrong cup.

Oh, Iook, when you finish wrestling

with your conscience,

may I suggest you return

to your chamber?

Leave the quest for the stone to me.

How have we Iived this way
