Since the two are fighting over hiding in the dark or sta ying in the light\, why not make it where they both can have fun.  \n\n \n\n Ra did not know how. Hathor answered\, what if you use a planet. Wit h Zohari’s avatar on the side not facing you and Mshtari’s on the side facing you\, you can search for Zohari while dance with Mshtari.  \n\n \n\n Ra liked the idea and flew to the fight.

The sun sets and the stars brighten as they get their chance to gather. The farmer begins to grab stars and place them int o the tree\, where they can talk and gossip the news across eons.\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n The farmer listen into a faint star dangling low near the base of the tree.\n\n\n\n \"I recall the Lonely Man\, the two Weepers and the Three Brothers of the Rim\, looking a cross my universe...the glare of our light never allowing him to see anyth ing ahead\, his back eternally fixed\"\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \"...He was still looking out\, when I came here\, b itter\, angry\"\n\n\n\n The farmer walk out to the edge of the tree and gr ab a star\, and it speak to him.\n\n\n\n \"I am a member of the Golden Lad le... my cousins\, the dippers\, tell me many sailors find their way\, usi ng them\, on this world...but I know a world where the skies decides where the sailors sail\"\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \"A sky of said world tried to discover what effect we stars had on the ir fellow skies. It measured distances and changes\, the sailors of said w orld loved that sky cause it was calm at sea level\, allowing the lesser w inds to govern the actions above the sparkling sea... that begins the lege nd of Narda the sailor and the seas of night... now place me there\"\n\n\n \n And the farmer\, place the star where it gleamed to. Suddenly\, a numbe r of stars laughed on a lengthy branch. And the farmer edged close to over hear a particularly glinty star\n\n\n\n \"...alright\, alright\, remember all of you flashes\, everything I say is the truth... I once saw the spiri t of the existence\, that is right... the spirit of existence\, which turn ed from a star brighter than my dreams into some image of a fleshy female creature\, was talking gibberish.\"\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \"Everything the spirit said was gibberish\, just a fli ckering about. I asked it\, what is the problem? That is right\, I am a ge ntlestar. The spirit suggested some fleshy male creature\, tricked it. I s aid impossible. I told the spirit of existence\, my cousin is what those f leshies call the north star\, if it shine bright with me\, it will forget all of the tricks of the crawlers. So\, the spirit of existence\, chose to shine with me. Yes\, that is right\, it shined with me\, and me alone. No one else saw because the rest of you were busy talking to yourselves\, no t gleaming all around you. I of course\, am aware of what is going on and saved all your lives. The spirit even touched me with a flare. Yes\, it di d and said\, my simple focus inspired it to select me to have a child. We will call it\, Horus or Hercules or something. Shut up Cassia! Your just m ad you didn't get a chance with the spirit\"\n\n\n\n And the farmer chose to move on and pick another star. For when the night end\, only oranges wi ll exist where the stars were. A juice not to be sold\, but savored.\n\n\n \n  \n\n\n\n If you enjoy my stories and want to read more consider the f ollowing\n\n\n\n Illustrated fables\, from a city near you\n\n\n\n https:/ /www.kobo.com/ebook/concrete-fables\n\n\n\n The Goods News through the yea r- stories throughout the calendar\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entr y/261-december-solstice-art-or-text-craft-parade-good-news-blog/\n\n\n\n  \n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251220 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251223 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
