(Flashback)
All throughout the night, all seemed quiet in the Goetia manor. Until five-year-old Octavia woke up from a nightmare, crying out to her parents. The door to her bedroom opened and there stood ten-year-old Loona, holding her blanket with crescent moons and running to her sister. It had been a few days since Blitz and Stolas adopted her. She has been having nightmares about her time at the orphanage. She mostly stayed with Octavia in her bedroom until Blitz and Stolas would come in. Stolas groaned, waking and hearing Octavia calling out for him and Blitz. He shook Blitz awake to tell him that Octavia was calling for them.
Stolas and Blitz ensured they were in their robes before heading to Octavia's bedroom. Stolas opened the door to find Loona and Octavia under the blankets, shaking. "Via, Loonie, what troubles you girls?" Stolas asked.
When Octavia heard her father's voice, she ran towards him in tears. Stolas picked her up and then wiped away her tears. Loona whimpered from underneath the blankets, not wanting to come out. Blitz walked over to Loona and pulled her out from underneath the blankets then he put her on his lap. "I had a dream! A really bad dream!" Octavia said, sobbing.
Stolas yawned before he understood that his little girl had a nightmare along with Loona. "I was looking all over the palace, and... I couldn't find you or Papa anywhere! You weren't there!" Octavia cried, hugging her father tight.
"Let me guess Loonie, another bad dream about us sending you back to the orphanage?" Blitz asked Loona.
She just nodded her head then she buried her face in Blitz's chest. Stolas summons his Grimoire to him telekinetically as he walks Octavia back to bed. Loona peeked out from Blitz's chest then her eyes fell onto the grimoire. "When you're scared, and you don't know where we are. You must remember, no matter what happens to me or your papa, we will never be far away from our little stars." Stolas said to Octavia and Loona.
He then used his grimoire to open a portal to space above them as he began to sing a lullaby.
It always seems more quiet in the dark
The girls look up in awe at the beauty of space through the portal.
It always feels so stark
How silence grows under the moon
All four of them float up through the portal and into the cosmos, landing on a barren moon.
Constellations gone so soon
Stolas had Octavia and Loona in his arms, walking across the moon leaving footprints as Blitz walked beside him.
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...
Stolas looks down at young Octavia, and she looks back with her large, curious eyes. Loona tapped Octavia's shoulder and pointed to a pink glow. Her gaze shifts to the pink glow to her side.
As the stars start to align
I hope you take it as a sign
That you'll be okay
Everything will be okay
A meteor begins its descent towards a giant, pink-colored star. The meteor makes contact with the pink star and begins to sink beneath the molten surface.
