If I were to close my eyes, everything would still look the same. The same never-ending darkness. Except for the moment the Absolute, my Creators, open the empty threads woven in our space. Tearing at the darkness a sight my eyes would never tire from, as different colors begin to emerge slowly. The places being watched over, the planets and stars holding other life, I am sure they all glistened with the same warmth that is felt on my body. When I was younger I would always reach up to those planets wanting to have one of my own, in the end it was not that, I wanted to live among them. With other Celestials. "Lune?" I felt Fa caress my head and Mo stood infront of me, "Your essence has weakened." I felt sadness reaching for my throat. "No, I was admiring the stars, I had lost my thoughts for a bit." I do not want to make the Absolute have too much emotion, everything must stay the same.
The Time Cycle is approaching and the Nameless should be arriving, I was not allowed to go with My Creators to Sedah yet they said it was the same as here. I am sure it is yet I was more curious of how different life was in the planet and stars from the other side. Soon enough Mo and Pa disappeared into the light, as Empress Numeri and Caeles appeared in their place. "It is good to see you two again." I bowed my head as Caeles turned to cloud and lifted me up, Caeles may not speak much yet I could feel their happiness when we meet. Unfortunately Empress Numeri seems to feel indifference towards my presence, neither pleased or perturbed. "Lune." She said with a slight condescending tone, "Yes, Empress?" Caeles placed me down gently, as I stared into her piercing eyes. "You are far too close to the Portals when we emerge, next time I advise you to stay further back." Empress Numeri turned away and brushed out her hair filled with stars, and summoned the orb of light and began her duty immediately. My heart felt heavy, I wondered if my presence is a problem to them. Caeles regained their other form and smiled at her then turned to look at me, "Numeri...cares." I laughed quietly in relief in order not to disturb her, yet she still looked back at us with slight annoyance. This is another feeling I could never tell the Absolute, I enjoyed interacting with others.
We had reached the half of the Time Cycle soon they will both leave. Suddenly the indescribable feeling I had before began to spread to my chest, could it be, because I kept counting how much new life was being created by Caeles as Empress Numeri recorded everything? I began to question if I was even accounted to be "alive" if I had never done anything myself. "I-I want to be a part of it." I uttered the words I had promised to never say aloud. Tears began to flow as Empress Numeri scowled and Caeles stared worriedly at my face. "Lune, do your want to leave this place?" She spoke to me in the softest tone I had ever heard, and for some reason it made me cry harder as I fell to my knees. Caeles wrapped their arms around my head, "Lonely...life...hurts." I buried myself in their embrace, "I-I should not feel lonely, I am never alone-" Empress Numeri got on her knees and gently wiped my tears, "We are all alone in our own different way, and you are not like us. You who were brought forth with no reason, except to live, I believe it is time for you to go and search for your own reason." I pulled them into an embrace, as we stayed there holding one another, I realized, I want to tell my Creators the truth of how I feel.
