Oh, magical hedgehogs

Burning in the night

Worshipped by Cherokee and Minovian alike

We reach out to you

As you fly across the sky

So close, and yet so far away

Artemis watches as you launch into space

Under cover of the darkness, the only light from the glow of her face

Sometimes toward the land of the dead

Sometimes there to make a wish

Always burning and beautiful

A light in our lives we call a shooting star

Artificial fireworks have nothing on your natural beauty

Sometimes you land, hurtling towards Earth

Destroying evil monsters with your burning girth

Oh, hedgehog, we salute thee

For without your shining light

We could never see Zoё, twinkling at night


I did this during class because the teacher puts me to sleep. Don't blame me if it sucks/doesn't rhyme in most places. I wasn't going for rhyming. But there were some words that just felt... right. I don't know why. Also, my muse is... inaccessible at best, so whenever it visits, I write what it comes up with. That being said, it provided me with other stories... so there will be more to come.

Also, for those of you who came from deviantART, my stuff on there is crap. Random stuff. (There's a pattern emerging...) I can't find my camera right now, so I can't upload my stuff that sucks a little bit less.

It's a crossover (sort of) between Percy Jackson and Hedgehog Launch. Why? Why not? They both have an odd fascination with hedgehogs and how hedgehogs relate to stars.

Thanks for reading my random garbage.
