And inside you're burning
with some secret yearning
The stars stretch over her in a sea of unbroken midnight velvet, twinkling at her in benign beauty. In utter betrayal.
She loves them still, would always love those distant, lovely lights, but they had broken her trust in a way that can never be regained. They had gifted their light to another. To her daughter, no less. It is a difficult sin to forgive.
But still they call to her, speaking of endless nights and untold beauty. Given half a chance she would give up her entire existence in this realm to go live amongst them. But, alas, she is only a mortal being, doomed to roam this inadequate plain for the remainder of her days.
Still, she would never release hope.
Tonight is a night like any other. A night to wander the wood and meadow, to bask in the soothing light of her night sky. Occasionally she would break the routine by engaging in a light flirtation. Of course, light may be a bit of an exaggeration. Her four children attest all too freely to that. And given her penchant for attracting rather dangerous men, perhaps it should be called anything but light.
A game, perhaps. A test of her wit and skill, of her beauty.
Certainly she is lovely enough, with her vibrant red coat tipped by teal, with the elegant white star upon her forehead. The only blemish marring her otherwise perfect features are the scars tinged with red and green running along her cheek. Even so, they add a dramatic flair to her appearance, a charmingly dangerous edge.
A testament to her bravery. Her cunning, even if it is a story she would never tell.
But tonight, that is the last thing on her mind. Tonight, her only concerns are the chilly, snow-laden meadow and the endless stars above.
