"Mummy! Daddy!" Octavia called out

"Mmph." Stolas muttered sleepily "Via's calling us, Stella." turning his head to look at his wife

"You get up." She replied sleepily but also annoyed

A sigh emitted from Stolas as he got out of the bed, his gaze catching a reflection of the mark on his right shoulder, which was always hidden beneath his clothes, the one that represented his mate. It was a tribal scythe with black wings, and he had to be honest, he couldn't wait to meet his mate, which would make his current marriage null and void. He slipped on a robe as he exited the room, walking down the hall and entering his daughter's room, where she is hiding beneath her blankets.

"Via?" He asked "what troubles you, my owlet?"

"Daddy! Daddy!" She sobbed

Octavia climbed down from her bed and ran into her father's arms, Stolas hoisting her up to comfort her.

"I had a dream!" She sobbed "a really bad dream!"

"A nightmare." He replied, wiping her tears away

"I was looking all over the palace, and . . I couldn't find you anywhere!" She continued "you weren't there!"

"There there, Via," comfortingly rubbing her back "it's okay. You're okay." summoning his grimoire as he walked to Octavia's bed, the book following him "when you're scared, and you don't know where I am, you must remember . ." the book flipping open with his telekinetic abilities "no matter what happens to me, I will never be far away from my special little starfire."

♫ It always seems more quiet... in the dark ♫

Stolas opened a portal above himself and Octavia, causing her to look up in awe of the beauty of space through it,

♫ It always feels so stark... how silence grows under the moon ♫

The two of them float up through the portal and into the cosmos, landing on a barren moon,

♫ Constellations gone so soon ♫

♫ I used to think that I was bold ♫

♫ I used to think love would be fun ♫

♫ Now, all my stories have been told. Except for one... ♫

He looks down at his daughter, and she looks back with her large, curious eyes, her gaze shifts to a pink glow to her side.

♫ As the stars start to align ♫

♫ I hope you take it as a sign that you'll be okay ♫

A meteor began its descent towards a giant, pink colored star.

♫ Everything will be okay ♫

The meteor made contact with the pink star, and begins to sink beneath the molten surface,

♫ And if the Seven Rings collapse ♫

Multiple planetary bodies began gravitating toward the pink star, including the moon that Stolas and Octavia currently reside on, which eventually shatters into pieces as the star's gravity pulls on it.

♫ Although, the day could be my last. You will be okay ♫

♫ When I'm gone, you'll be okay... ♫

The distant planetary bodies fly through the cosmos, pulled in by the pink star's gravitational pull. They disintegrate upon impact, causing the star to explode in a powerful supernova just as the portal closes behind Stolas, now back in Octavia's bedroom.
