Ydris sat atop one of the stone outcrops near his circus, leaning back on his hands and looking up at the sky. It was so very different from his home, the stars were all different and it was so dark. He hated to admit that it was beautiful, despite not being home. The sky wasn't responsible for the druids' actions after all.

A splash of green flared across the sky, making him furrow his eyebrows for a moment.

"So much green," he muttered to himself, astounded by how present the color was in this world, even in the sky. At home green would have stood out but here he couldn't escape it. Which was fine by him, the color was starting to grow on him.

He tilted his head and listened carefully, intrigued by the quiet hissing and popping coming from the dancing color above him. Was this another thing humans usually couldn't sense? Whether or not humans could hear the lights, he knew that the aurora danced in the dreams of many. Fantastic dreams of dragons, foxes, souls, all bound up in ribbons of color that danced among the stars. It was awe inspiring and truly magical, how could he not watch in near reverence to the display created by colliding solar energy and molecules? Perhaps he should add the northern lights to his circus.
