Please do keep in mind that this is the very first draft.
Chapter 1:
Sila was born in, or on, Nebula 15467-Sil. In the nebula, it was called Silas. It was their creator; their alpha and omega. Silas had told Sila when she was very young that she was to go to Earth, so be its Star. And for the next 12 years, she was preparing to do just that. Stars were taken to their “final” home when they were 16. However, on the Summer Solstice, when Sila was ready to be taken, Sol went instead. Sila had been hushed away, told that she would be assigned a new home. But all of the residents of the nebula knew what an embarrassment it was. When you turn 16, then go be the star, you stay there until you eventually expand and then you become a white dwarf, and then you go back to your nebula. You stay there for as long as you please, and when you are ready, the process starts over again. You are quite simply reborn.
The entire process if being a star took about 43 billion years. Nebulas died only rarely, when they were killed, which was usually on accident.
But Sila was taken, forced into secrecy. This was her very first time being a star, she could feel it. And it was being snatched away from her by Sol, who was going back to the same galaxy. He had quite briefly left. For only about 24 years, Earth was submerged in darkness. By then, Sol was ready to go back, but Silas wasn't sure about the job that his son had done, he had left his beings lingering, still thriving. And Silas thought that Sila would do a better job. Sila was special. Sila was the daughter of Canus, and her brother was known as Sirius, who was also quite special.
Sol was not a good—being. He elected to give one of his children life, and then he did not raise the child properly...so it quite nearly brought about its own destruction, several times. Its known “b.c” time had now extended for 5786 years, and Sol was getting quite bored. So, he created life on his Jupiter's moon, Europa. He wanted to make it simpler, so he only made water. He shortly got bored with that too, so he came back to Earth, who was in the midst of its most recent World War, this being the 23rd one. Sol decided to do something drastic. He killed half of his beings. He wiped them out, all 13 billion of them, leaving only 11.5 billion left to clean up the mess. Then, a mere 230 years later, he took most of the rest, leaving only 3.14 billion. Their world was going up in flames, war raged the surface, and poor Earth was left to suffer. Her inner core was becoming so hot; she would have exploded at any moment. Sol had a rare moment of pity, so he extinguished. He was gone. He gave earth the chance to cool down, and then tried to return. But Silas had different plans. He was tired of watching his son bring about war, so he brought the innocent Sila up to take the mantle.
Sol argued relentlessly. He tried everything, even swallowed his pride and begged. But Silas had seen enough, and prepared Sila fervently. Meanwhile, earth was engulfed in darkness. Finally, on the eve of Sila's departure to earth, Sol tried the one thing that would work. He threatened to kill the girl that was to take his place, and her brother, Sirius, who was nearing his time as well. Silas knew that Sol would do it. And he could not bring himself to kill his only son. So he gave Earth up to Sol, knowing what tortures it would go through.
Silas grieved for days upon his sons' departure. And then he knew what he had to do. Sila was the only thing that had threatened Sol. So he must now use Sila to save the beings of earth. He hoped that she would take this ultimate-destruction gracefully.
