Oh No, Don't Let Me Go

Aslatiel had been sleepy as well the first time that she lay on her back and looked up to the sky. The brilliant world above her had woken her instantly though. It seemed to do the same thing to Indy. A cool wind blew in off of the ocean and the girl tucked herself against her big, lavender brother, using his shoulder as a pillow.

Up above them, the sky was a swirling miasma of black, blue and many shades of purple. The bright white glitter of a billion stars twinkled upon the dark backdrop. Some were larger than others. Some were small, but laid out in interesting patterns. Some seemed to be following others in a row like ducks. She would never tire of looking at the night sky. It was the one thing that was hers.

"Aren't they beautiful?" Her voice was the soft, hushed whisper that she used when talking to the stars. The girl continued to speak. "Hello, stars. This is my brother, Indigo. I wanted to share you with him. Please say hello." As if the heavens listened, a shining light shot across the galaxies: a shooting star, just for Indigo.
