Moonspear Caught in all, the stars are hiding

As they reached the star Maia brought out a 'wow' that didn't go unnoticed. Somehow it was important to Charon that she felt as wowed by a place as he did. It amused him that her next words were 'it's dark', because he himself had been surprised that the star wasn't bright, as expected from something that fell from the sky. At first he had thought maybe it was not a star, but in fact a piece of the dark sky itself. Perhaps something like this falling was what created the stars.

But it was all no more than theories. I haven't figured that part out yet myself, he confessed. After a short pause he added: I think maybe it's a piece of sky that fell. So a star is made because a part of sky falls out and leaves a lighter hole. But there's no knowing for sure. I've tried climbing to the very peak of Moonspear each summer so far, but I have not once managed.. I would like to find out whether I'll be able to touch the stars when I get there. Maybe then I'll find out what they really are. He cocked his head as he looked at the piece of stone, still unsure about what it was really like. But maybe it is just that its light went out when it fall down here. Like the way the sun dies out every night. Who knew -- certainly not Charon, but he enjoyed philosophising about it anyway.
