There was an unearthly silence. Caira’s voice had radiated through the observatory as though it were an amphitheater. It gave her passionate words even more opportunity to pronounce themselves to those in the room, and to the heavens above. To Omni.
Clarie’s eyes stayed on Caira for the longest time. The rest of the astronomers had been shifting their gazes from one woman to the other. Perhaps, waiting for something to break the silence. Some sign of approval from the Guild’s chairman. Caira herself, couldn’t help thinking that this was part of Marty’s little “test” too, but maybe that deduction had come too easily to her, since she was on edge.
Clarie, finally, after what felt like an eternity, smiled and said simply. “You’ve got spunk.” Then however, the woman took the gift from the Prime into her hands and investigated it as though it were a new toy, “It is, however, interesting, how you offer us a star. In any case, I think you’ll be surprised to see, that we too, will offer you one.”
Those who had held their breath now gasped, and Caira was lead a bit away, and into a secluded room that branched off from the tower, where the Prime was allowed to see the shimmering star that came down with chunks of Omnillium seeping off of it. “So Ayryn, what do you know about the star before you?”
“I don’t know much,” the Prime admitted, letting the bright glare of blue light flash and fill the room.
“Well, open your ears, because this information I’m about to tell you, is known by very few, there’s a web of astronomers across the verses, we have all shared, and counter-calculated the information you’re about to hear which will dispel any rumor you may have heard. Yes, a star fell in Camelot, we retrieved it, because we were lucky to. In the other verses, however, the location is remained a secret, for not everyone has the means to face these challenges.” Clarie informed, while Caira’s eyes were wide with the glow of the star, which did not fill the girl with greed for power, but a wonder for the knowledge of the world she felt she barely knew. A world she called her home.
“What properties does this star have?” Caira asked, the woman gave her a warning look, before continuing on her own tangent.
“It is a Star Piece Caira, we have speculated with the other astronomers that it is part of a larger whole. It is our goal to put each one together again. Based on your little... Speech out there, I presumed you knew at least that much. Anyway though, our information is of the most secret kind. The governments of some of the verses (Coruscant) too, have shut the sharing of this information down, it is strictly, need to know. Miss Ayryn, you’re now an honorary astronomer. How would you like a greater look at the stars not only above, but the ones that have collided into the Omniverse? We have two books that recorded where we keep each ounce of information we have shared with the others. Since we hold the star piece, we have indeed been looking for a safe way to move this book away from here, since too many treasures in once place will cause trouble for us... I have decided to give you half of the book. Half of our knowledge and connections will be in there, the other half, you’ll have to read tonight, during our observation meeting. Does that sound alright? You can look through our elite telescope if you want, it’s one of our most proudest achievements.”
“I would be honored.” The knight spoke truly, and the woman presented a certain log book and put it in Caira’s hands.
“This star is not the only one out there,” Clarie responded with Caira’s gifted star still in her hand, “However, I’d like to say, while we will examine your gift, surely, Miss Ayryn, I think you’ll like our final place for it. Funnily enough your ‘delicacy’ just so happens to be blue, blue enough for a decoy, of our own Star Piece.”
And so it was, now that the Dalaran Star Piece was ‘extra’ hidden, Caira sat at a desk with the many astronomers and began to study the book’s logs, which told many secrets about where the Prime might find the lost stars throughout the verses. Caira made notes on her half of the book, and then suggested that they encode the rest, when she returned their half back to them.
“Well, with the cursed book you retrieved for Marty, do you think we’ll have no defenses for our most prized possession?” Clarie sassed and the night was almost over.
Marty wheeled himself around, seeing how Caira was done, and offered that she take a look through the scope. “Miss Ayryn, if you look up, you’ll see some true wonders beyond even our world.”
His eyes got misty, and Caira gazed at the millions of tiny scoops of light through the magic of the telescope with her newfound friends and was reminded that though she was an orphan, she was not so very alone afterall.
