(Open to all Suns)
It was something stranger than Belle had ever witnessed before. She was no stranger to magic and all of its mysterious ways, but this seemed like something beyond any of that. Belle saw how belief could shape something, change the very nature of being, but she’d never thought that it would be used like this. Belle sat out on the balcony of the castle gazing out over an empty sky. What was once filled with brilliant and bright was now barren. It looked like someone had spilt ink over the world, flooded the place in endless darkness, in endless night.
Belle could feel a chill run through her, one not brought about by the cold. She had seen starless nights before, times when it seemed clouded and overcast. But this was different, this was unnatural. Whatever it was, it didn’t bode well. “Come quick!” she called back into the fortress, her voice tinged with alarm. “Someone come quick!” As quickly as the sight had rendered her speechless, Belle quickly found her voice once again.
Whenever whomever had heard her call would come, Belle was at a loss at what to say. What she needed now was a witness, someone else to see what was going on, what was going wrong. Truthfully, Belle had no clue what to do about missing stars. Stars were things that were so far away, balls of gas that existed millions of miles away from the planet entirely. It wasn’t something that could be brought back by the snap of a finger. And yet, they had been taken away just as quick.
That was what upset Belle the most. The knowledge that there was a being, an entity so powerful, so ruthless they could manipulate nature itself. They could take away the stars if they wanted to. Belle had no clue what sort of being held that power and truthfully, she didn’t want to find out.
