❛⠀⠀⠀let⠀⠀ me⠀⠀ tell⠀⠀ you⠀⠀ a⠀⠀ tale.⠀⠀⠀❜
it was a night where the stars twinkled and swayed, one where
you cant help but stay awake and admire the moment. the sky
was cloudless and her eyelids were heavy, however, she still had
it in her to walk out in the night. her love for the night was
unmatched, as the stars would always take her on a journey. those
feelings she had forever harbored for the heavenly bodies that
never hesitated to guide the way home for her every night. she
could not help but wonder what adventure the stars were to send
her on tonight, she could barely contain her excitement as she
reached the edge of the stars. it was then her eyes met the alluring
body of water where the moon, caregiver of the stars, unveiled their
face in the before her. the moon's expression was easy to read. filled
with sorrow.
she understood exactly how they had felt, a sorrow filled with
a longing, one for a severed connection that had been lost to
the hands of time. she was empathetic, as she herself had lost
friends to the same fate. even the sweetest things cannot help
but rot. she knew she had been sent to help her. to mend what
had been shattered. but the moon would not speak. how was
she to put together a puzzle without the pieces? it was then that
it had clicked in her mind. her eyes locked to water in front of
her. was this it? she could not help but gently put her paw to it.
then water rippled, and with that, it called out to her.
❛⠀kind stranger, wont you play with me?⠀❜
first came hesitation, but then acceptance. this was not for
her own good, but rather the sky she had owed her debt to.
she splashed in the waters, trying hard not to lose her footing.
❛⠀ah, how i wish we could do this forever! i have grown oh so
lonesome within every passing sunrise and sunset!⠀❜
❛⠀may you reunite with the moon, the fun will never have to
end.⠀❜⠀ umiko suggested. a moment would pass before a
reply arose from the water.
❛⠀perhaps you are right, kind mortal.⠀❜
that was all it took for the stars to glow brighter then she had
ever seen before. she did not have to see the moon's soft face
to know that a smile was given, a newly born happiness. she
watched as star dust gently fell from the sky, slow like snow
but as big as hail. she would leave them alone, allowing them
to bond for the first night in what had to have been forever.
she could hear the laughter of the two behind her fade as she
removed herself from their reunion. she had finally realized it
was not her that needed guidance, but them. it was from that
night on that her love had split for both the stars and the waters,
her heart big enough to share.
