(UNDER HEAVY EDITING!!) Stellar Serenade: Cosmic Connections

Chapter 16: The Ambiance

"What connection to do you have to Nocturnis?!" Thunder shouted, pinning her against a particularly large mangrove root. "N..NOTHING! He just killed my mother-" Luminara blurted, the surprisingly large height difference between Luminara and Thunder- of a full foot and a half is weird, Luminara has to look down to look back at Thunder. What made it even weirder was considering Thunder still managed to pin her. "Tell us everything you know about him" The Weather Dancers said in unison, they all shifted to sit in a circle around Luminara, with her friends jammed in the middle. "Hey scootch! I wanna get in on Storytime too!" Hail said. "Lemme hug you if I wanna hug you!" Wind huffed playfully. "This isn't hugging- this is squishing" Hail laughed. "I wonder if there's going to be any gore" Thunder giggled. "Aww... I hope not" Cloud whimpered. "Don't worry! If weird looking Lumi-whatever-her-name-is hurts you, I'll hurt her back!" Thunder declared. "We're over thousands of years old but they still act like their 5" Heatwave chuckled. "I don't know if I should be offended, or not" Snow mumbled. "Get on with the story already!" Rain huffed, crossing her arms.

"I second that"

"I third that"

"Fourth"

"Fifth"

"Sixth"

"Okay... I'll help ya out here Lumi" Aral said, "You have a death wish, don't you?" Xyn laughed. "No, I think it's actually quite sweet" Syra said. "Goodluck Aral" Anomedan giggled. Aral laughed, squeezing herself beside Luminara."Spare me Aral- Please!" Horus cried.  "So.. there's this very bad guy" Aral said... 

Luminara and Aral expressively tell the rest of the story, and the Weather Dancers reacted with continued & repeated "ooo~"s and "WHAT?!"s, and of which most reactions somehow came in sync. 

( Author's note!: THE WEATHER DANCERS ARE SO FRIGGEN ADORABLE I JUST WANNA HUG THEMMMMM!)

"Okay! We'll get rid of the storm and help you through to Sancutary" Rain said. "Thank you for the story!" The rest of the Weather Dancers said in unison. Aral and smiled. "I think that went quite well" Aral said. The Weather Dancers quickly left the mangrove tree and held hands in a circle out in the open. 

They begin chanting something whilst spinning around with their hands in the air, hopping from one foot to the other, and in general it just looked like they were goofing around. "Are you sure this is gonna work?" Horus said skeptically. "Of course it does. Works every time" Clarinet answered.

 Quite soon enough, and as swiftly as it arrived, the Astral Storm began to recede, its celestial fury yielding to the cosmic balance that governed the astral realm.

The once tumultuous celestial winds began to ebb, gradually calming their ethereal tumult. The howling zephyrs of the Astral Storm softened, carrying with them the residual echoes of celestial power that lingered in the astral expanse.

Celestial lightning, which once streaked across the celestial canvas in bursts of astral radiance, began to subside. The celestial flashes of brilliance diminished, leaving behind a celestial afterglow that gently illuminated the celestial tapestry overhead.

The celestial clouds, which had swirled in celestial chaos, started to dissipate. Like celestial wisps, they faded into the astral ether, revealing the pristine expanse of the astral realm that lay beyond the celestial tempest.

Celestial ripples that had danced across the astral plane, carrying the celestial energies of the storm, gradually diminished. The astral fabric of reality, once disturbed by the celestial tempest, began to settle into a state of celestial equilibrium.

In the wake of the Astral Storm, celestial patterns of tranquility emerged. The astral realm, once agitated by the celestial forces, now bore the serene imprints of celestial energies in patterns that whispered tales of cosmic harmony.

The celestial resonance that had filled the astral space with harmonies and celestial echoes began to fade. The lingering celestial vibrations gently subsided, leaving behind a celestial stillness that echoed the celestial balance restored to the astral realm.

Another Weather Dancer approached, wearing white, gray, and a pale blue. Their mask had the mark for three swirly lines. 

"Mist!" The other Weather Dancer called out.

Mist didn't reply, but instead summoned an astral mist, as the Astral Storm departed, carrying the celestial memories of the celestial tempest, lingered momentarily. The mist shimmered with the vestiges of celestial energies, weaving celestial tales in its ethereal embrace.

With the departure of the Astral Storm, the astral realm returned to a state of celestial clarity. The celestial constellations resumed their celestial dance, and the astral expanse embraced a renewed sense of celestial tranquility.

As the storm leaves, celestial harmonic chimes reverberated around the area, and hung suspended in the astral breeze, each delicate structure a testament to the ethereal artistry of the celestial realm. 

The chimes produced celestial tones of pure harmony, each note a delicate expression of celestial resonance. The celestial frequencies intermingled, creating a celestial symphony that echoed the celestial order of the astral realm.

As the astral breeze caressed the celestial strings, it imparted a celestial quality to the melody. The wind-kissed notes carried the celestial essence of the astral realm, weaving a celestial melody that seemed to echo the whispers of distant galaxies.

With each celestial note, echoes of cosmic vibrations reverberated through the astral expanse. The chimes captured the celestial echoes of the cosmos, translating them into a celestial language that spoke to the very essence of the astral realm.

The sound of the chimes was akin to ephemeral celestial whispers, delicate and celestial. The celestial whispers carried the wisdom of the astral forces, inviting those who listened to attune their senses to the celestial secrets woven into the celestial fabric of the universe.

The celestial tones ebbed and flowed, creating celestial crescendos and decrescendos that mirrored the celestial dance of celestial energies. The celestial symphony unfolded in waves, a celestial expression of the dynamic cosmic forces that governed the astral realm.

The collective sound of the chimes formed an astral rhapsody of tranquility. The celestial melodies interwove, creating a celestial tapestry of sound that enveloped the astral space in a celestial embrace of serene vibrations. 

The mist slowly dissipated, as the faint image of Rain talking to Mist was seen, Luminara could see Rain hug Mist, and Mist hugged back.

5 Seconds later all of the mist had faded, and Clarinet's voice rung through.

"Welcome to Sanctuary!"
