What is that one called?
There were several small arrangements that had already been picked out, but none as interesting as this. Of course, that was because, It looks like a fish.
If she looked hard enough, Ying could pick out the muddled shapes of the creature's body. She hadn't expected stargazing to make her so hungry, but alas... With curious gaze, she turned to @Ruo.
ruo looked at he cousin with an expression 'are you stupid.' she knew ying was all brawns instead of brains, and looked hard to try and see where this fish was. there was pisces, the fish of the zodiac constellation, but at the moment was not in their current sky.
"you are looking at serpens caput," she supposed that was the most fish-like out of the sky. however, he was not a fish, but a serpent; a snake.
Serpens caput. Fine.
Does it have a story like the, uh, bear?
Ying didn't remember much about the last one, but knew that it looked more like a pair of geometric blobs than anything else. Looks pretty cool.
Her gaze drifted back up toward the sky, where her eyes danced between the lights.
"serpens caput, the head," she tried to point her snout toward not one, but two, "serpens cauda, the tail." though between, was an unknown being. she assumed it was perhaps a bear upright, but was never known what it truly was. even her mother, wasn't sure- thus it was simply an unknown tale. she wished one day, to find out.
"a being is holding it- thought to be a god of medicine," ruo started, "he healed everything, and everyone. the god of death was not pleased. there was no balance," it sounded like heaven, for none to die, and all to be eternal. but with new life constantly flourishing, there was no recarination, nor' space to hold.
"the snake, was sent to balance his doings. all life can be saved, but not all life should."
Balance, the most important of the virtues. Without evil, there could be no good; without suffering, there could be no joy. Ying's brow furrowed as she listened to the explanation, her head nodding subconsciously along to the words.
Maybe she would become the snake, a being created to bring order.
It looks like a jellyfish
, Ying sighed. Her eyes bounced between each point, though try as she might, she could not see the shapes described. You know...the two legs, and the head...
"perhaps." the elders, one's far more ancient then the two knew, created these shapes with meanings, they connected unknown lines to create these tales, but unaware if they were legends, or a reality not of their own. many tales can be shared, but nothing to prove if they were not of folklore. a shame, but at the same time it would be a scare if some stories were not myths.
"they look different to everyone. create your own tale." ruo shrugged.
honestly, she wasn't invested enough to create her own stories. ying continued looking upward at the stars, but decided that there wasn't anything worth finding there. she didn't understand how such things could captivate so many.
ying glanced at ruo, then back toward her den. 我要睡觉了
, she said. then, without waiting, ying exited for her bed.
