The stars
(Flashback)
Four children laid in the grass staring at the stars picking out their favorites.
"And look at that one!!" The young fox girl yelled. It was cancer, the star looked like a "Y".
"You point that one out every time Femi" The black and white haired one said.
"I don't like crabs, one chased me on the beach, '' Lotus blurted out. The one with only wings snickered in response, his sister punched him.
"Ok ok I'll stop"
Since grew between the four until one piped up, Atlas had, "I want to see the stars one day, I just want to fly as high as I can go"
"Me too!" Lotus agreed.
"So do I!" Artemis yelled.
"I wish I could go with you guys" Their sister spoke with sadness in her voice.
"We'll take you with us!!" The others yelled, Femi smiled. All four looked at the sky with hope.On the roof of the school multiple telescopes were set up with some students at each, Venus and Avian stood nearby keeping an eye on them.
"That's Delphinus, its brightest star is beta Delfini, and that's Cygnus. Its brightest star is Deneb."
Artemis said to Rikku pointing out the constellations for her as She looked through the telescope. Shino, Blake, and Jack were taking turns looking through the telescope to the Right of Artemis and Rikku, Davis and Kat were to their left.
"That one's Capricornus it's the constellation for the zodiac Capricorn, do You want to hear the Greek myth?" Artemis asked,
"Yes!" Rikku spoke with enthusiasm, her blue eyes glistening in the moonlight.
"Well the zodiac Capricorn is a sea goat, it represents Precus the father of all sea goats who was fathered by Cronos the god of time, but the myth is about Zeus and AmIthea. Amithea raised Zeus when his father who also happened to be Cronos thought he was dead, Then Pan the god of the wild and some other things, was transformed into the constellation after he swam in the Nile river to escape Typhon" He explained cheerfully, he liked taking any chance he got to talk about myths.
"Wasn't Zeus raised by Gea?" Unbeknownst to Artemis, Shizu had walked up to the group,
"I think I read that somewhere"
"That's in some versions, in some versions it's Amlthea, in some versions it's Gea, and in others it was his mother Rhea" Rikku looked up at Artemis in amazement.
"You really like Greek mythology don't you" Kat finally spoke up Still looking through the telescope.
"It's not just Greek mythology, it's any kind of mythology." He brushed his hand through his hair. "It always made me feel safe and at home" Artemis Smiled, memories tried to rush in but he held them back, there was no need to dwell on the past at that moment.
"My sister likes Greek myths, she's much older than me so she doesn't live with our parents but when She comes to visit she'll tell me stories." Kat told the group.
"She sounds nice," Shino said.
"She is," She looked at Shino, "when she wants to be"
"I haven't met your sister have I?" Davis queried.
"No you haven't, I'll have to introduce you to her the next time she visits" Kat says, making Davis have a face of concern.
"Artemis, do you have any more myths?" Shino asked, Artemis pounces At the chance to tell more myths. He told many myths, ones like Perseus, and ones like Isis and Osiris. He told his favorites and some of his least Favorites, But never the one about the Rose.Venus and Avian watched all the rambunctious teens from a short distance talking between themselves.
"Have You heard anything about Database?" Avian asked Venus
"No, the last thing they told me was that he was still in a coma and his health didn't Seem to be getting any better" silence grew.
"Venus, even if he doesn't Pull through he wouldn't want to see you like this, he would want you to continue on and be there for our child"
"Your right, he wound want that" Venus leaned into their husband and he put his wing around them. Things were going to be alright, at least that's what everyone hoped.—————————————————
