He looked up at the stars, tears brimming his eyes threatening to fall any second now. A smile fell on his face shortly,
finally...she became one of the stars.

"You are a hero." She said with a shaky breath, "It matters not which side you...

꧁eighty-three꧂ We are Heroes and the Stars will Guide Us
Lancelot stood on his bedroom's balcony with a cup of tea in hand. He looked up, seeing the moon in its full shape beaming brightly against the clouds and the bright stars around it.
"Did you know that when we die, we become stars in the sky?" Said Seraphim as she crossed her fingers on top of her chest. She lies on the grass underneath the blanket of stars, next to Lancelot.
It was in the middle of the night when Queen Seraphim and Lancelot sneaked out of the castle to gaze at the stars. The breeze was nice and comforting despite the cold weather.
The weather was nice due to their current mana generator, Queen Seraphim.
Lancelot turned his head to the side and admired Seraphim. "If I die, I want to be the brightest one out there!" She laughed, "but I don't want to be the sun."
"Why?" Asked Lancelot. "The sun is the brightest and largest star.."
Seraphim smiled and shook her head, her eyes still fixated unto the sky. "Then how about the moon? Why just a star?" He asked.
"Well, it's weird." She began. "A lot of people die but why do we have only one moon?" Seraphim pulls out her hand and tried to reach the sky withing her fingertips. She began tracing the stars,
"I want to be someone's guide when they're lost in the dark."
Lancelot's heart started to beat faster. Oh god knows how much he loved the lady, but unfortunately, the two of them weren't at the ends of the same ribbon.
"Stars are very beautiful, no?" She asked. "They twinkle, and shimmer. And that!" She points to the left and Lancelot glanced over. "Look at those two! Isn't it cute! They're so close together."
Seraphim was a kind-hearted girl but was tainted by what they call the Gods' blessings.
Lancelot closed his eyes, then opened them slowly. "Yeah.." Lancelot paused then turned to Seraphim. Surprisingly, their eyes met and a tint of pink exploded within their cheeks. "If ever we become stars.." he started. "Would you shine next to me?"
Seraphim smiled, looked at the stars, and nodded. "Of course.."
Lancelot knew her heart was aching. Everything that's happening with Seraphim, she knew she was hurting. People would pay to be in her shoes, but what they didn't know was the challenges she faced and the pain she's trying to overcome.
