Citlalli on the Edge of Wind

On a night that didn't seem to differ much from any other a woman who was feeling lonely saw a shooting star, and mostly out of habit she made a wish. It was a trivial gesture, something she did without thinking as she remembered some of the old stories her grandmother used to tell her back when she was little, and the last thing she did was expect anything to come out of it, but on that particular night the planets, or maybe I should say the stars, aligned themselves in just the right way to ensure a different outcome, giving rise to the 'birth' of a very special little girl, one that may not have come with the appropriate user's manual (her mother could most definitely have used it), but whose existence had been prophesied since the beginning of time, and that 'birth' set in motion a series of events that were destined to reverberate through the human world, and through the one inhabited by the magical beings, bringing them closer together than they had been in hundreds of years, maybe in more than a thousand, as fear had given rise to a chasm between them, with events such as witch burnings leaving their mark on both sides of the divide, causing the realms to go their separate ways... for better or for worse.
