We'll leave this empty room, into the air we'll climb
The night whispers to the ones keen enough to listen to the melody it whispers. The night coaxes wonder from the canvas of stars strewn across its ink-stained canvas. The stars dance and twinkle as though they were performing upon a stage where all the world to see. Aearanas dreams of breathing stars, of captivating the world the way the stars can. He has a long way to go before he can join them. Aeranas breathes no stars. The tales he spins are only dreams spun from the threads of his past. Aerie is a ghost, and all he has is a new place to haunt as he revels and writhes in his memories. The canvas of night assuages his worries of what the future will toss at his feet. Aeranas knows he will be the cartographer for his destiny. He silently warns fate that his dreams are so much bigger than himself. These dreams are didactic.
Aearanas drops his glance from the heavens to peer into the horizon. Movement within Delumine catches his eye. They breathe the dust of the sun. From their sun dusted hide are ribbons of cream, as though to soothe the smoldering ash upon her bodice. She is beautiful. Aerie wonders if she knows how she commands the attention of the stars. They glow brighter in her presence. They whisper to him the same melody of the night. When the stars whisper to him, they whisper about her. The ghost feels his limb stir to life before he even has a chance to protest. They carry him effortlessly across Delumine, he glides. His lanky limbs thrum in a steady rhythm as he moves. She is ethereal beneath the inked canvas of night. Aerie craves to know what her breath feels like upon his skin.
He wonders if she breathes the dust of the sun. Aerie's lithe frame falls into her orbit in just moments. He wonders if she will balk at his unusual approach. She is already a story in the making."Hello. I couldn't help but notice the way that the stars pause for you and your sundust kissed skin." Aerie breathes to her, and his excitement is palpable. A smile lights up the ghost's face."I'm Aerie." He introduces himself with the hopes that she will not turn him away.
