Atlas stood on the deck with worry, was his sister ok? Deciding not to pry he went below deck to wake up Apollo. The pocket map in hand he rapped on the door to his cabin, a very tired Apollo answered to door.

"Do you know what this is?"

Dropping the small silver locket into the wrinkled hand, his eyes widening with surprise.

"Where did you get this?"

"Nash's soldiers attacked the ship, Astra snagged it from their body. I'm guessing you know what it means?"

"It's a map, it shows all of space. It'll lead you anywhere as long as you know the name of it."

"Figured that out when Astra opened it"

"She opened it?"

Old face full of worry he sat on his bed.

"Tell me everything that happened"

"Well she killed them so that's something"

"Wait, your telling me little thirteen year old Astra opened a map and killed two highly trained soldiers from an army no one has ever been able to injure?"

"Well she had a blue aura around her"

"That explains it, her magic has been activated. Royal magic is running through her veins, where is she now?"

"Taking a bath, she stormed to our cabin"

"I'll send Aurora up immediately to see her"

"What's happening?"

"Nothing, just go wait for your sister to finish then rest"

Not questioning Atlas headed back up to the deck to see Aurora and her maids already in the siblings cabin fussing over the princess. Sitting with his back to the cabin wall he waited for his sister to be finished. With so much to discuss he looked up at the sky as if the moon and stars would spell out every answer to his questions. His deep voice seemed to flow through the velvet night as he sang the lullaby rolling off his tongue.

Rest your head

Go to sleep

Listen to my song

Go to a world of stars

To Cassipiea

Through the rings of Draco

Meet the Queen Serina

The story comes

To a close when the throne be won

Find the magic

In your soul

The power within

Do not fear

For i am near

Though worlds apart

Go to a world of stars

To Cassipiea

Through the rings of Draco

Meet the Queen Serina

The story comes

To a close when the throne be won

Listen listen

To the cries

Of the kingdoms

Save them

Save them

Show them peace
