Chosen Oracles: Lapine Crescent, Heavens Oracle/Celestial Disciple

This short story appeared on the boards as the origin of a Starsoul sorcerer, but I wanted to refine it. A build will follow. ^_^

Lapine’s eyesight was blurred. She didn't know what was greater, either her fear or her pain. Blood was dripping from her lips. What was that monster? Where did it come from? It had appeared before her on her way back from school, and came after her with wild pleasure as the girl desperately tried to flee through the city alleys. Why no other seemed to have noticed it? And why did it attack only her? When she tried to cry for help, people had just looked at her with puzzled eyes, as if she was crazy. Maybe she was.
And now she was hit and fallen to the ground. Why was this happening? Why to her? She was just an ordinary girl. A clumsy and not too bright student. What could this fiend possibly want by such a nobody?
The being, strangely woman-like in its form, came nearer, sneering. Bizarre, ugly features and tentacles danced before Lapine’s eyes while it readied itself for the final blow. Yet, the blow didn't come. Time slowed to a blur. Everything stopped in a silvery mist. And something walked into view- a little dark form. It looked like a cat. But the light in its eyes was definitely not animal. 
So I've found you, it seems", said the silvanshee, calmly. "Do you know why you're here? Do you know who you are?"
"Am I dreaming?" Lapine said weakly. "Or am I dying? I'm seeing things".
"Neither, dear girl. Unless you want to. Creatures from above the stars are here to sunder your world- and they feel by instinct who are the chosen ones that could defeat them. It's up to you, now. This is your destiny from a thousand years before your birth. If you choose to die, I will respect your choice. But if you accept to help me fighting them, I can unlock your power. Then, together, we'll find others like you".
Lapine tried to smirk. “I don’t understand, but I want to live”.
And then time restarted. And the young woman looked in astonishment at the starry lights that flashed from her own hand, destroying the aberration. This was only the beginning. The beginning of a new legend, when the Crescent Champion and her faithful companions would save an entire universe...
“Well done, my Princess”, said the content silvanshee.
