The echoes of stardust

• Children

								
At the edge of the galaxy, where stars flicker like forgotten dreams, there was a boy named Orion. He lived on a small planet called Asteris, a place where the sky was painted with infinite colors and the ground glowed softly beneath the feet of its inhabitants. Life on Asteris was peaceful, but Orion often felt a pull—a calling from the stars, as if they were trying to speak to him in a language he could not yet understand.

One night, while staring up at the swirling nebulae, Orion saw something extraordinary. A falling star, brighter than any he had ever seen, streaked across the sky and landed in the distant fields beyond his village. His heart pounded with excitement. Gathering his courage, Orion set off toward the fallen star.

As he approached the impact site, he found not a burning rock but a glowing orb, hovering just above the ground. The orb pulsated gently, its surface swirling with galaxies and distant worlds. When Orion touched it, he was transported—not through space, but through time.

He found himself on a desolate planet, where the once bright stars were now dim and dying. The sky was a canvas of ash and shadows. Orion felt a deep sadness in the air, as if the very soul of the universe had been lost. It was then that he realized: this was the future.

The stars were fading because people had forgotten to listen to them. They had forgotten the stories, the dreams, and the echoes of stardust that once guided them through the darkness. Orion knew he had to do something. He couldn’t let the stars fade away.

With newfound purpose, Orion returned to Asteris. He began to share the stories of the stars with anyone who would listen. He taught them to look up, to wonder, and to dream again. Slowly, the stars began to shine brighter, and the whispers of the universe grew stronger. The future Orion had seen began to change.

The stars were no longer fading—they were alive, full of light and stories yet to be told. And Orion, the boy who had once felt small and insignificant, had become the keeper of the starlight, ensuring that the echoes of stardust would never be forgotten again.
