"You know Rainbow, Time?"

"Hmm?"

"Where I'm from each constellation had a story."

"What's a constellation?"

"A group of stars in the sky that make a specific shape.A group of stars in the sky that make a specific shape."

"Thanks, Time."

"No problem, Rainbow."

...

"What's your favourite constellation?"

⏲

"Sabre? You ok?"

"Yeah, just zoned out a bit. Was thinking..."

"What we're you thinking of?"

"Constellations."

"Oooh, I love constellations!"

"Do you even know what they are, Orange?"

.
.
.

"No. But! If you're thinking about them, then they must be good."

"Ha ha ha! Never change Orange!"

"I'll try!"

...

"But seriously, what are constellations?"

"Constellations...

Constellations are a group of stars in the sky that make a specific shape."

"Do they do anything else?"

"They tell stories."

"Ooh. Similar to how we use nature to represt the gods, then?"

"Close."

"What is your favourite constellation?"

"The Traveller."

"What is the story behind that one? Where even is it?"

"The Traveller is a constellation from my home world... I was looking for it in the sky."

"What's its story? Surely you can tell me whilst you're looking!"

"Alright, chief. But only if you lay down here, I won't be able to see it otherwise."

"Lay on the grass, I don't-"

"Do you want to know the story or not?"

"Fine."

"The Traveller is a constellation that is in the centre of many, many more constellations and its most identifiable feature -other than it being surrounded- is the bright strategy that makes up its bandanna.-"

"So is that where you got the inspiration for yours,

Also, get to the story!"

"Alright, alright.

The Traveller constellation represents a man who found himself away from all he knew and explored a 'new world' there he met his friends and allies as well as enemies -which both are represented by the surrounding constellations-

He experimented, built, fought, saved, and eventually sacrificed everything to save his few remaining friends and allies..."

"That's not a nice ending"

"Let me finish.

After his sacrifice, two of his powerful friends -represented by the star crowned Gaxari and the eternal goddess Alaxi- lifted him into the sky so he can continue to explore, help and save others."

"That's a better ending."

"You think so?"

"Yes."

I hope so too Orange.
