Celestial:
Celestial is happy with the rubies that flowed in her bloodstream, the rocks and pebbles that poured out of her mouth, as sharp, biting as it is blunt. She is more than elated with the fire ignited in her soul when she's passionate about something, and she felt like the world kept trying to douse it with liquid so that it blew out.
She isn't sure how long she can keep it aflame before it did.

Horizon:
Sapphires for eyes; diamonds for smiles; topazes for hair; Horizon is priceless, a masterpiece with a value higher than ever could be envisioned. He is a threaded patchwork with a needle of silver, gold and emeralds; accurate, mismatched and so meticulously abstract, that while he is one with every noun and verb and adjective, he is not whole.
Emptiness seeps through charcoal holes he hasn't found a way to fill.
