Where Silence Holds the Stars

Previously

…As the sun reached its zenith, casting a warm glow over the festivities, Elara looked up at the sky. The stars were hidden by the daylight, but she knew they were there, watching, singing their silent song. And for the first time, she felt not a sense of dread, but a deep, abiding peace. They had learned to listen to the silence, and in doing so, they had learned to truly hear the stars. The harvest was not just of grain, but of wisdom, a harvest of harmony that would sustain them for generations to come, forever changed by the knowledge of the silent universe, and the vibrant song that followed.
