She followed the falling star.

The star blazed a trail through the tangled, overlapping constellations, burning in a blaze of fallen glory and stardust across a sky blacker than charred bones. The starlight flooded the landscape, frosting her pale skin as she ran, and her bright ocean eyes reflected stars. Her hoofsteps were nearly fleeting as the starlight she followed, soundless as she bounded through the shadow-entwined night, curling through the vine-draped forest trees like a blue serpent fashioned from nothing more than ice and moonlight, and eyes stolen from the seas.

Only the dried bracken stirred from her passing, and cold frost snapped and hissed underfoot. The scent of ocean-water and the cold laced the barren earth she skimmed, bounding over logs and ducking through silvery curtains of icicles and snow, the winds sweeping through her streaming flaxen hair and giving her wings.

She could hear the ocean in the distance, churning and foaming onto sand silvered by moonlight, singing to her in murmured voices sweeter than the sound of falling summer rain—cool and light in the depths of her consciousness. The thrum of her heart was strong and wild on these bitter Frostfall midnights, for she was a creature of the night and always had been, following her unpredictable compass of falling stars and burning constellations.

The smell of salt-water enveloped her senses—a cold, clear clarity she knew by heart. She ran along the sand, until even the boundary between earth and sky seemed to blur.
