Starlight and Shadow's Embrace

Previously

…The vastness of space no longer felt empty and daunting, but full of possibility, full of the promise of shared adventures. Lumina knew, with a certainty that settled deep within her stellar core, that her life would never be the same. Her boredom had led her to the edge of oblivion, but it had also led her to Umbra, and to a truth more brilliant than any starlight: that even the most different of beings could find solace, strength, and an unbreakable bond in their embrace. The storm had threatened to extinguish her, but Umbra’s shield had not only saved her light, it had illuminated a new path, a path paved with starlight and shadow, side by side.
