The music in this galaxy makes me want to ascend to a higher plane of existence.
If a galaxy could ever be described as "relaxing", then the Cosmic Cove Galaxy is it.
Unsurprisingly, several businesspeople had built resorts on the more densely populated planets for rich citizens to unwind at, but what was surprising was how few people actually knew about this galaxy. Mostly, the wealthy simply congregated at Beach Bowl, Starshine Beach, or even Hightail Falls for the more adventurous. Cosmic Cove was, in essence, a hidden gem. An underrated relaxation spot.
And of those who did know of this place, they only stuck to the resorts. They never went out and explored the true Cosmic Cove. The hundreds of planets with their own dinky little beaches and stunning views went unnoticed by them.
They did not go unnoticed by Rosalina.
She lay on her back, floating in the dark blue water some distance away from the tiny beach. The sand on that beach was more powdery than anything and covered in rings of colourful seashells. The water was icy, but not unbearably so, not to the point where you couldn't swim in it. In fact, the iciness made it more relaxing.
And right up above her was an uninterrupted canvas of whites and pinks and blues and purples with a sprinkling of lights that took up the whole sky in one glorious portrait.
But the best thing about this place was the silence.
Rosalina had never been big on silence before, but here, it made the experience even better.
The Lumas were playing with the planet's sparse penguin population, but they were all the way up the other end of the water, so far away that one could only hear their squeals if they focused and listened extremely closely.
Other than them, there was not another soul for miles.
While Rosalina wasn't necessarily alone, per se, she was alone enough to enjoy herself and relax, unwind, simply let her mind wander, think...
She thought about floating through space by herself.
She thought about sinking to the depths of the water, and touching the powdery sand at the bottom.
She thought about rising out of the water as if lifted by an invisible cable, into the stars above.
Then her stomach rumbles, quite loudly, and she was forced to think about what to make for dinner that night.
