Legend of the Two Stars

Once upon a time ago legends were told of two undying stars, shining the brightest when all others hid beneath a cloak of dark clouds, stars of a color never known to mortal eyes before. People kept looking for them every time the cloudy sky left no room for any others. Some even managed to observe them once or twice; or at least believed they did. Then legends became stories, stories faded to random tales, from which mere whispers remained and they perished with the next strong wind blowing from the south. So that all what actually was left for people, were distant memories no one know weather or not to believe.

Guiding stars still shine upon the night sky, some dimmer, some bright as they used to be.  Travelers arrive soundly at their destination and explorers still discover new worlds. The sky maps have not changed, every order follows as it used to. Calculations have not been missed, roads still lead on and paths cross land and sea. Even should no one be able to tell though, something has changed; somehow, the world is not lit by the same light. Something feels different, as some souls come to wonder, souls with distant memories of brighter and warmer times.



That those two stars were not meant to guide, they were not leading anyone anywhere, they were not supposed to help choose a way out of many, neither to judge a chosen path.
It was their company, which never faded away on any chosen path. They were to watch over, a light not to fade whenever all went blur and dark.
They were ‘friendship‘.
