[private] a falling star fell from your heart; islas

[Astrophel]

His eyes widen as she takes a step back from him. The excitement that quickly came is now gone. A look of confusion takes over his more discerning pink and white features as he takes in the same look that touches her own features. The question pushed forward echoes in his head during the long moment. “Take you back?” “Take you back?” “Take you back?” The white mare glances towards the stars. His blue eyes remain sharply on her. A big part of him wishing and hoping she didn’t mean those words. The words that echo into his head. But he was wrong. That thin thread of hope is beginning to break now. It’s ready to snap in half. She turns back to look at him. His expression had faded to sadness. The realization that he will never get back home fills him with grief. But he doesn’t say anything. Astrophel knows if he says anything then he knows he is defeated. He will and can never be defeated. There will always be hope. “It’s okay,” he musters to finally say after a long pause between her last words. It’s all he can say. There was no reason for him to blame her. It was not her that was the problem. It was allowing himself to get excited too quickly without any real indication she was the one to bring him back home. Astrophel follows her gaze to the sky this time when she says she feels connected to them. His eyes light up instantly as he watches the white mare bring together the starlight into two floating orbs. Slowly she brings them down from the night sky to between them. His expression of sadness fades away as he watches the two starlight orbs dance between them. Astrophel is filled with happiness once more, but also awestruck by learning the other mare can manipulate the starlight. He turns his gaze away from the two starlight orbs to the mare when she speaks. “It isn’t just magic,” he says with a hint of warmth in his words. “You are more than just magic itself.” He laughs softly at the idea of someone like her just being called left-over magic. “You are one of them!” The stallion quickly looks above into the sky. “You are a star,” he says with astonishment.
