Time Changes All

It was amazing how different time made things.

Seerten had found these cliffs only hours before, and had stayed until the sun set. He was starting to like it all the way up here, in the meadow of many coloured flowers. He flopped onto his back then, the damp grass soaking the man's thin fur along his spine. While he shivered slightly from the cold, his chocolate eyes were drawn to the thousand of stars that dances above his head. They looked so close all the way up here, and he stretched out a pale paw to swirl it among them. Ten grinned softly, it was as if he were stirring the stars in the sky, causing them to glimmer and shine even brighter above him. Those little lights fascinated him, and he spent many hours just gazing up at them. What exactly were they? Were they like the sun, or the moon? While they may shine bright, some more than others, they were so... tiny. How long would it take to reach one, if he had a way to even get up among them? What a day that would be, to live among the stars. Seerten's mother used to tell him that once they died, they went to a place among the stars, and even became one themselves. He didn't know how much of that he believed, but it was a very nice thing to think of.

The spotted hybrid also remembered an elder wolf telling him that the humans used to study the stars, that they even used them for travel. The brightest star in the sky he named the North star had guided many of them around, how they knew that they were going in the right direction. He also told him that a 'constellation', or a grouping of stars, rotated around it. How strange it would be, to have something constantly moving around his head. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle, comparing it to a bee constantly buzzing around his head. Paws flopped over his chest, looking almost pink with the lack of fur that was there. His head tilted in the grass, his folded ear falling open in this position. Those stars were truly such amazing things.

Seerten's small smile vanished at he once again thought about his mother, wondering if she was among those stars like she said. He had lost her when he was just a pup, a fire tearing their family apart. He didn't even know if his brother and sister were around, or if his mother had found them. Not knowing if they were dead or alive constantly bugged the hybrid. He just needed to know... If only those stars spoke, surely they would know all things.
