FOR MANY MOONS, BURNT OUT STARS FROM BEYOND THE INTERGALACTIC UNIVERSE HAVE TRAVELLED TO FALL IN THE DREAM POOLS ON THE SURFACE OF TWILIGHT PLANET. ONCE THE MAGIC OF TWILIGHT HAS REPLENISHED A STAR’S LIFE FORCE, IT’S HARVESTED AND RETURNED TO THE SKIES, READY TO BE WISHED UPON AGAIN. ONE STAR HARVESTER, STELLA, IS SEARCHING FOR RESTORED STARS…
THE NEXT DAY, STELLA RETURNS TO THE DREAM POOL TO RETRIEVE THE STAR WITH CARE.
YOU’RE NOT QUITE READY, BACK YOU GO, LITTLE ONE. IT’S THE LITTLE LILAC STAR I SEEK.
YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FROM THE LITTLE STAR NAMED SLEEPY? HIS DREAM ISN’T TO RETURN TO THE SKY.
HELLO LITTLE STAR, HOW DIFFERENT YOU SEEM TO ALL THE OTHERS.
THIS IS SLEEPY, AND HE WANTS TO STAY. A STAR NOT READY FOR THE SKIES.
WORLDS WILL SPEAK OF YOU IN THE AWAKE HOURS SLEEPY, AND THEY WILL REJOICE THE TRANQUIL PEACE YOU GIFT THEM IN THEIR DREAMS AND SLUMBER.
I’LL BE BACK WHEN YOU’VE RESTORED YOUR STRENGTH.
HE DOESN’T WANT TO FULFIL THE DREAM OF ONE BUT OF MANY. HE GIFTS THE POWER OF HIS SLEEPY STARDUST.
