*Sabre*

Night came by quite fast and I was once again being dragged up the mountain by a hesitant Orange.

"If you don't want to go up the entire mountain we could have just stuck to one of the crevices near the waterfall." I point out, looking back towards it.

"No the top, the top has the best view." He responds, voice sounding shaky. 

I roll my eyes at his antics, shaking my head silently as he leads me further up. His body has a slight tremble as he practically rushes upwards.

Managing to change whose leading the way up so that Orange can focus on my back and not on the distance.

Hearing him sigh in relief makes me laugh under my breath. Silly, silly Steve.

"Alright we are nearly there, also can you loosen your grip on my hand?" I look back at him as he jumps, hand immediately loosening around me.

I continue to drag him upwards, his hand tightens again, "Orange stop looking down that's not going to help with your fear."

Orange scrambles closer to me, I can feel his eyes directly onto my back. Good, he listened.

Pulling him towards the tree we sat by when we watched the sunrise, but instead of going under it, we sit in front of it this time.

Looking up at the sky, watching as the color turns to a darker blue. The stars one by one practically light up, glowing softly in the sky

Some weren't as noticeable, while others were brighter and up front. Some seemed to make up constellations, but I couldn't exactly make them out well.

They clearly weren't the player known constellations, so it appears the Steves have entirely different star patterns.

Interesting.

I'll need to learn them, see if any of them have any stories behind them. Some, three, seemed to be patterned to look like the nether star.

Another looked like a hammer, another an eye, and the other clearly seen one looks like a broken chain.

Strange.

Yet interesting, "Orange do you know the what these constellations are about?"

"Yeah, why?" He looks away from the sky.

"The ones that are like rhombus shaped stars, the hammer, eye, and the chains, what are they about? They seem more prominent then the others." I stare up at them, taking out my journal and sketch down the shapes of what I see.

"The star ones are said to look like the hearts of three creators, the hammer is said to be wielded by a peacekeeper, the eye represents the dreadful one, and the chain is unknown; the pages of any star book about it was torn out or blacked out." He responds, pointing towards whichever one he talked about.

Looking up from my drawings with a nod, I make sure to keep room for any note I'll have to put down.

Shutting it and putting it away, looking back up at the night sky. Well this is nice, these past few days have been nice.
