The stars are alive, child! Did you know that? Everything out there is alive, and there are grand purpose abroad!
Her stay at the night orders temple had done her well. She felt stronger then she had in a long time. Not her strongest - she feared she would never feel that strength again - but good. However it was fall, and when fall turned to winter.. well, that spelled trouble for those whose bodies rebelled against them. Nevertheless, now was good. and she wasn't going to waste it. She had heard tell that the night court was the best place to see the stars. Upon asking the acolytes, she was told that the Sideralis prairie was the place to be.
The timing was perfect. She was in the night court anyways, having left the temple. While she was backtracking ever so slightly, she couldn't pass up the opportunity. As she walked, she watched the sunset, not a cloud in the sky, the perfect canvas for the stippling of stars. She settled into the long grass, between two hills, her legs tucked neatly beneath her slender frame. and she watched as the constellations began to flicker into existence. How many times had she gone over those constellations? There were gaps though, those who had been put into the sky years ago... they didn't exist here. Their stars had flickered out of existence, and even if they hadn't... she didn't think you would be able to see them from Novus anyway.
The darkness in Delumine really was remarkable. Like nothing, she had ever seen before. even with the stars and moon above, it was as if the world had been swallowed by shadows. So dark... she almost missed the shadow on the horizon. She pricked her ears, listening, waiting. But did not move from where she lay. Hoping that maybe if she stayed there, she would go unseen.
