"You cannot."
Those two simple words shattered my heart into millions of pieces.
"What do you mean 'you cannot.'?!" I yelled.
"The only way that I would be needed in this world was if the Zodiacs power a threat. In that way, you would need help in controlling the next generation, and my life would be saved by the lives of the current Zodiacs. But that is not the case here. You have made friends, and those are the zodiac that can help the world become a better place. Thus meaning, that now I must go." She replied.
Tears streamed down my face like waterfalls.
'She can't be serious! That would mean... that there is no way to save her... that she was really going to die here.'
"No... Mom you can't just leave me here!"
"You have your father." She reminded me.
"Dad means nothing! Without you, dad is nothing but an empty shell! Without you I have nothing! You have always been the one to make me happy when I am sad, to make me laugh when I was made, mom, you're the best friend I've ever had. Please don't leave me!" I pleaded
"I am sorry Celeste, but I must. Before I leave this world, I would like to tell you a story that I should have told you long ago. Could you all, please humour a woman on her death bed and listen?" She asked everyone in the room.
Leo and the Zodiacs all nodded silently; and my mother began her story.
"Celestia was created by Ophiuchus, and spent a lot of time telling him about the zodiacs and how they felt remorse for their actions.
Ophiuchus would listen to her tell stories of how she felt about the new planet's development, and each time he listened to her he found himself growing fonder of the female star.
As Ophiuchus grew fonder of the star, more of his essence was drawn to her, thus making her shine brighter than any other star in the sky. She is what we call 'The North Star'.
Soon Ophiuchus and Celestia fell deeply in love.
They both watched the world grow together; however, both felt sorrow when seeing people in the new world die. So they thought of a plan.
Each person who lived a meaningful life, showing loyalty, honesty, generosity and kindness would become stars in the sky. This would let them live on and fill the sky with beautiful lights, reflecting the good in each person's heart.
Some lights shone brighter than others, due to the amount of good each life possessed. However, none of the stars in the sky shone as brightly as Celestia.
Ophiuchus and Celestia now felt better when watching the world, however there was one thing that upset them both deep inside.
They wanted children.
They watched the people in the world fall in love then have children; and they wanted the same. However they both knew that this would not be completely possible.
They were stars after all, and its was not possible to reproduce a star.
Stars could only be made out of a soul; and they had no spare souls to create an descendant child star.
If they were to have a child, the child would have to be created, but because of the laws of celestial power that child would have to live on the planet as a human.
The lovers want for a child grew as they watched thousands of children grow, find love, then have their own children. Their want grew to a point where Ophiuchus created an illegal child. That child stayed with them for several days, before being pulled down to the earth to live as a human.
