"once upon a time.. oh who am I kidding.. I am not here to tell you about the past! I am here to tell you about the now and the future! You see, I read the stars and they've said the most glorious things to me" Erebos exclaimed, eyes twinkling. "You see," he paused, "they have told me that there is to be shooting stars later tonight, and they wish for us to watch." He turned and looked at the sky, just as silver streaks began flashing through it. The young Belldee around him gazed on in wonder, as Erebos' deep voice filled the air around them.
"The stars are timeless, there is no "once upon a time" with them. They are both primordial and new-born, in the same instant. They asked me to tell you one of their stories tonight, and I believe I will grant them their wish, as they play above us. These stars flying past us, they are the lightest of the stars, and they are free to play. I will tell you a secret though, each of these flashing shards of light, they are a accumulation of imagination, belief, wonder, and all of the positive thoughts you younglings have. As long as you think kind and good things, they will continue to live, as light things float up and join them in their midnight dance. So, little ones, if you are kind and good, one day you might just join them yourself, and float right up to fly with the stars."
The belldee around him continued to gaze on in joy and wonder, imagining their happiest thoughts floating up to play with the stars. Settling down to watch Erebos whispered to himself,
"And the moral of the story, is to be filled with love and light as long as you live, for you, my children, are as bright as the stars."
