Quote: Project_UnnamedHow did your star get jagged and are there any plans to unjag it?
there was once a sphere that lived in the night sky. mortals called it Moon. it was large and mighty and was the source of light for lost souls, travelling saints, wandering spirits, you name it and Moon lit their paths. there were, and still are, smaller spheres; millions, in fact, dotted all over the endless night skies lighting earthly and celestial paths for saints and mortals alike. but Moon took all the credit for lighting those paths and mortals only worshipped Moon. the smaller spheres had had enough and one day, while the sun was shining too brightly for anyone to see or do anything about what transpired, they descended upon Moon like those swarms of flies in the sims 2. they suffocated mighty Moon, who was not so glamorous in the final moments but still, she beamed. the smaller, scorned spheres squeezed all of their burning fury until Moon was broken, reduced to nothing more than an even smaller ball of light.
the smaller spheres dispersed, laughing as they returned to their places in the skies. constellations formed and gloated. they poured their light, radiating everything they believed Moon had kept from them, believing they were now the ones to be worshipped by foolish mortals.
but the skies were too dark. on earth, after the oblivious sun sank below the horizon, the paths of saints and sinners would cross. there was no Moon, no light, no hope of salvation, so the sinners took everything they could hold before the sun rose again to cast light on their evil acts. thousands of miles above the earth, reduced to nothing more than a fleck of sparkly dust buried in the deep blue sky, Moon looked on and wept. the weight of the tears brought her down, down, down, past the hysterical constellations, past the wandering spirits who had no idea why the moon was heading towards earth but thought she must be sure of her path. down, down, down, towards the blue of the oceans that mirrored the skies, the waters pelted by Moon's heavy tears. she saw darkness and sparring shadows, and she did not like it. she moaned up at the sky, but those she called stars could not hear the realities of their mistake.
Moon hit solid ground. it was nothing she had ever experienced before. ground was soft and cold, like a welcoming winter bed. there she lay, broken and jagged, under the gloating twinkle of her tormenters, wondering if this was how a mortal light dies, wondering if anyone would ever remember the light she used to shine and if sinners would remember redemption. she lay until the skies turned black in the deepest hour of night.
eventually, the sun rose, and looked down at Moon on earth not quite believing what he was seeing. the sun guided his rays to the fallen moon, lighting the path for a lonely earth child who did finally stumble upon Moon. the child held Moon in cupped hands, eyes wide and alight. the child traced a finger around Moon's sharp, jagged edges, muttering in awe.
'Wow. A jagged star.'
and Moon was happy.
