Astral Arcanist

This is the second in a series. The first you can find here on my Beehiiv,
Bard, Goddess of song, born from the cosmic symphony

On the shores of an unknown meteor
Set like mystic moonstone in
Orion’s shimmering girdle
A cryptic crystal burning with
Future shaping prophecy
Cut with facets of
History defining legacy

An infinite pool of violet waves
Rolling and splashing amongst
Cavernous valleys in
Misting sprays and sloshing volleys
From the crest of chartreuse
Dunes rising all around an inland sea
Vibrant and life-filled, constantly
Birthing light and sound
Reflecting an aurora sky
Endless
Glassy

With a clatterous wave
Of percussive force
Emerges Astral Arcanist
The Interstellar Enchantress
Infused with light
Her glow, electron blue

She grows in power
Essence coalescing
Aggregate forming from the
Jagged raw mass of
Elements erupting from the
Terrain part and parcel with the
Cosmic ray swept land
Like a towering colossus by the time
She’s finished filling her lungs
From the coruscating atmosphere
Dancing on moonbeams
Showered in star shine
Finally, communed with reality
Back where she belongs

With one wild blast, a note goes out
An announcement of triumph
Magic springs forth
Between teeth and gums
The spark of mana flicking to life
As it rolls from the tongue in the void of the night
Exploding in silence
Magic feeds on air to ignite the mind's eye
The Interstellar Enchantress 
Heralds her arrival

As this wild storm of energy erupts
A flying fish stewards her on
Drifting currents of stardust and dreams
To the far-flung corners where
The universe starts to curve and
Fold over itself
Tucked in like a bed snugly made
Turning upside down
Riding falls of glittering nebulae streams
Finding the cracks in spaces between space

Slipping through instead of running ahead
The void-fashioned adept 
With eyes of power and tongue
Silver-leafed
The utterance of every arcane symbol,
The ecstatic execution of every spell precedes
The elevating steps and dashing leaps
One by one on platforms of
Transcendental energy
Harnessed and woven from the fabric of reality

Drawn by the call
A clear ringing note
From the center of a universe
Brand new

She pulls in shimmering star motes
Until a cloud obscures her
Radiant head to graceful toes
Swishing across the distant emptiness
She gathers up potency
As vigor and mana grow

A trip across space and time
Only serves to strengthen the mind
New spells composed
Memories reformed
An entire lifetime reborn
Into a cosmically birthed vessel
An entity made of pure thaumaturgy
As it deftly swarms energy, transmuting
Like a wick counting down
To an eventual ear-piercing reveal

Astral Arcanist now soars
Meteoric in her own flight
En route to heed the call of
Bard, Mother of melodies
Taking her place
On the heavenly dais at
Her sister’s right-hand

Together they rule
Newly formed skies
Adventure reborn
In a cosmic pantheon of light

Waiting for the next of
their kin to arrive
lighting the beacon
Calling all brethren
to their undying sides
Expanding the realm
Raising the sky
