The Stars In Her Eyes

She stared at the stars above her, relishing in the feeling of gentle winds and the sounds of soft crickets. She named all the constellations one by one. The Twins. The Branches of Virtue stretching across the Arms of the Lovers. Sync had often wondered about the lovers in the sky. How they could always found each other in their infinite lives, even though their love was forbidden and they were separated time after time. When Sync first heard it, she laughed. What a silly story, in all the world how were they able to find each other? It seemed impossible and subject to belief. At least that’s what she was told back when she was a servant--a slave. There was a time where she believed such things, but since her first shift in her life, Sync Roastleaf wasn’t quite sure what she believed.
