Chapter 11
The Night Sky Restored
With the Moon's light restored, the night sky returns to its beautiful, peaceful state. The Little Star twinkles, content in the restored harmony and her role in it.
The night sky, once a tapestry of deep velvet, now shimmered with renewed life. Above, the Moon, her face no longer shrouded in a weary haze, glowed with a soft, pearlescent luminescence.
