Since the dawning of time humans have had the will and curiosity to know more and more. They have been looking up to the skies to get to know their place in the universe. They've named everything they've seen just to make it more comprehensible and easy. But they've done so without knowing the reality.
Because since before the dawning of human times there have been stars looking down on the little tiny rock called Earth. They've seen the first humans staggering steps as they conqure the world. They've seen every invention, every step along the way to what the humans call modern civilization. Most of the stars has turned their gaze away from the Earth in disgust over what humans do to each other. Most of them don't care about the little planets lonely and curious inhabitants. But one little star doesn't want to look away. One little star, to small to've been noticed by the human eye, is still intrigued by what they do on their planet. She gazes down on them and dreams about walking amongst them. She longs to hear a soft whisper from a human voice; a featherly touch from a human hand; a warm breath from a human mouth. The more she longs for that, the weaker her inner light gets. Because in her heart she has a flame from the undying universial love that surrounds all who dwell in the universe. And if that light in her fades away, so will she. Because a star can't live without it's light.
So, after years of wasting away because of her impossible dream her vocie is heard by the universe: she will get the chance to live amongst the humans for a short while. If she stay too long she will die, her inner light will be destroyed. But that is something she is willing to risk, because she will gain so much more.
And with that decision she's able to leave her home in skies to travel to the small planet in the Milky way.

That night there is a falling star that runs across the night sky over Wales. But none is awake to see it. If there had been they would have seen the shallow snowfall that followed.
