Stars Above Book Novels & Stories

The stars were bright above the northern valley. Yes.

I guess, after all this time, I was just as much of a stranger to him as he was to me. I slumped onto the bed, gently this time, and looked up at the sky. Even with the luminescence lunar planet, the stars were most brilliant than any I had ever seen them. During college, I had gone on numerous trips out in the desert and other random places to stare up and search for alien life. Yet, I couldn't recall a single time when the sky had looked as bright as it did now.

Jasmine asked as she pulled out her journal. “A book?” “Yeah, you know, a book.” She held up her journal in confusion. “You DO know how to read, don’t you?” There was sadness in her words as she realized that Maia most likely couldn’t read. Maia slowly shook her head no, fear starting to rise in her chest again.

Katherine Pov The starry sky was mesmerising to my sight, the wind was cool and slow and the moon goddess decided to bless the night with a big bright cast of the moon. As I lay on the soft green grass, a sense of calm enveloped me. The night sky unfolded its beauty above, a tapestry of shimmering stars hanging in cosmic harmony. The moon, a serene observer, cast its gentle glow, illuminating the intricate patterns of the celestial dance. I couldn't help but lose myself in the vastness, tracing invisible connections between stars, feeling the weight of the universe above.

"This one was the closest to having information about the barrier, but it’s all gibberish and signs." "Let me see." He stood up and dropped the book in front of me, then leaned on the table, watching as I turned the pages one by one. He was right; it was all signs, strange drawings, and odd pictures. Then something caught my eye. A constellation of stars, circles, and orbits, almost as if they were connected by an unseen force. "This..." My fingers brushed over the page. "This looks like something I've seen before." "What is it?"

Lying down between the trees, he pulled me onto his chest. “The shape of the stars, when seen with the naked eye, looks like tiny points of light. But through a telescope, they reveal themselves as luminous spheres, each unique in its glow and intensity. It’s like a shimmering veil stretched over infinity, dotting the firmament with their soft, radiant light, creating an indescribable spectacle of beauty. Some stars shine with a strong, steady glow, while others flicker delicately, as if sending messages of light across the cosmos.”

Its recently uncovered pages stared back at us, waiting—daring—to be deciphered. The pages were unlike the others in the book. The parchment held the same aged texture, the same ancient ink, but something was *off*. Scattered across the page were small star-like symbols, drawn in a seemingly random pattern, resembling constellations yet forming no clear connection. It was as if someone had carelessly thrown them across the surface, leaving them to settle where they pleased. I ran my fingers lightly over the text, my mind spinning with possibilities. "The stars," I murmured, more to myself than to Dominic. "Do they mean something?"

CHAPTER 154: STOLEN KISSES, STOLEN FIRE LUCIEN'S POV: SONG OF THE CHAPTER: "Flickers" by Son Lux ~~~ The stars are burning tonight. Not in the poetic way they always do in Rhea's gaze or her fire, but truly... achingly burning.

We were tucked away in our usual corner, sitting on the carpet with our backs resting against the bookshelf. It had somehow become our place over the weeks. Yvonne opened the astronomy book again; this time, she turned it towards me. “Look” It was a page filled with tiny dots of stars and planets. Her finger landed on one bright star near the top of the page. “That's my favourite” I leaned closer to the page, feeling something like current run through my body. “Is... is that the North star? Yvonne nodded enthusiastically, her eyes were so bright with mirth. “Yeah, it is”

She gently traced my tombstone and whispered, "You are the starlight that vanished from my sky." Finally, my soul began to fade. Thank you, my sister.
