Night was drawing closer and the meadow stood hushed and still under a thin blanket of snow, the figure of a little bay filly being one of the few things that marred the white landscape. The sun had ducked below the horizon and Asavvi had found herself in the meadow with a mind to go home before the girl had lifted her sky-eyes to look for the first stars. It was always a disappointment, one that drew a heavy sigh from her little chest, to find the atmosphere obscured with clouds like it was today. She loved nothing so much as the stars and the crisp air of Frostfall was usually so good for stargazing that their absence was a loss felt keenly in her tender and childish heart. 

For several long minutes she kept her eyes on the sky, the little downy nose held high as if by reaching she could brush away the clouds and find the stars again. Even her wings twitched, slowly stretching out and folding themselves across her back again. Someday… she promised herself, Someday I’ll fly and find the stars… And suddenly, pulled out by the girls own longing from somewhere she’d always sensed but never understood, a light appeared to her left.  Asavvi’s head turned and she started at the little ball as it grew to half the size of her own foot and simply sat there, hovering at her eye level and glowing as warm and bright.

Then another appeared…and another…and another!

The little lights burned into existence all around until Asavvi was surrounded by them, extending in a wide orb around her and adding to the twilight what the sky had hid away: “Stars!” She breathed the word, almost reverently as she turned her eyes from one light to the next. She wanted to see them all, to know them. This is what had been sleeping inside her, so much more beautiful that the scenes and histories she had already begun to call from the aether. No war no blood no anger, these stars, her stars were only beauty and warmth.

Her mother and father (and even her twin brother)would scold her for being away so late, but Asavvi would worry about such trivial things later. She couldn’t leave now, couldn’t do a thing but stand in awe of how beautiful the world around her could be. Here, in the dusky twilight there was nothing but the calm happiness that settled inside her. It left no room for fear or worry, not that the starry-eyed little girl was particularly prone to them anyway.
