The Fabled Star
Section 3 of 608
Before the first throne was raised, before the first fleet crossed the dark, there was the One Star.
Hear now the oldest truth. Before the first throne was raised. Before the first fleet crossed the dark. Before memory learned its own name. There was the One Star. Alone.
Not a sun among suns. Not a god among gods. The First Light. The First Will. The beginning from which all life, all hope, and all purpose would descend.
For an age beyond all reckoning, it burned alone within the endless silence. Within its brilliance slumbered every world yet unborn, every soul yet imagined, every kingdom, every triumph, every sorrow.
