Moonspear when the day met the night

*sneaks in a post between tasks*

She had seen the night sky before, plenty of times, as Scion. Yet she must not have bothered really looking. As she did so now, Galaxy felt such a sense of wonder. The breadth and depth of space was mind-boggling. If she tried to count the stars, was there even a number that went so high? And had the moon always been so huge and radiant? Had it always had a face?

Even as Galaxy's eyes roved from one darkling horizon to the other, she noticed what looked like a very wispy cloud scudding across the starscape (I just made up that word). It didn't obscure the stars so much as complement them. It seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, a pale smoke trail smearing across the heavens.

"Wha'dat?" she asked, pointing a tiny paw upward and then rolling her eyes toward Vela again.
