Chapter Text
The stars were all Keith had ever known. They were all he could ever see out past the solar flare that surrounded the Blade of Marmora’s main base. Whenever he could, he would beg Thace to take him up to the observation deck. There he would stand, tiny hands pressed against the glass as he stood up on his tip-toes and tried to practice his constellations, like Ulaz had taught him.
For his fourth name day, he had asked if he could go outside the flare, only to be told no.
He wasn’t old enough (yet). He wasn’t strong enough (yet).
But one day… one day, he would be.
And that was the day he’d be able to see the stars in their full glory.
