My name is Celestial. I am the great serpent, the Dragon Serpent, The Rainbow Serpent. Whatever I am called. Each year, my serpents who build my body scatter to train humans in the art of serpent wielding in attempts to destroy a corruption that is spreading very quickly. We can't do it ourselves, we need the humans to use our abilities. Each human has some kind of energy in them, my serpents choose a human to train that shares their energy level. A serpent cannot control their masters, but I suppose their master can sort of control them. If they cannot succeed their training and summon me, they will die. I do not know why they will die, it's the way it works. A long time ago when I roamed the land without magic I decided to bring magic to the world by dividing myself into separate serpents. When I was dividing myself I realized some other form of serpents who were magic roamed the land but control their own elements. These could not form me, but were "created" to help form peace in humans.

It is the autumn equinox, or the death day, the time to contact those that have gone before. Everyone closes their eyes and are silent to commune with the spirits. I had never tried to contact spirits before. But this year I seek my mother. She died this day, fourteen years ago; my birthday. My position in the ceremony is shadow maker. This is a role that I have played since I was old enough to carry the marker staff. It is a rod the length of my forearm tapered at the lower end and holding a clear stone at the top. I hold it high in the air waiting. It catches the light, and its shadow forms an eye directly in the middle of the equinox stones. Spirits surround me. They stop and nod, or at least make eye contact before moving on. "Mother?" She could be an older version of myself. She smiles at me, then, fades as an old presence joins me. This spirit isn't just old; it's ancient. It exudes wisdom and understanding, peace and culture. We celebrate, together, to the music of creation. I seem to know the dance but not as well as she. We are alone only briefly before being joined by another. They dance as if they know each other's every move. I try to keep up. When I falter, they smile, laugh and show me how. There is no passage of time. We dance together for an instant and forever. I shouldn't, but I open my eyes. My shadow, marking the equinox, isn't a shadow, it is a shimmering swirl of blended light. The stone in the top of my staff is flicking with a brilliant white accented by scintillating bands of many colours. I quickly close my eyes but the ancients are gone. We all open our eyes. My shadow falls through the standing stones as it should. And it is black, also, as it should be. They had danced with me.
