A young woman is sitting alone in her room, perched upon the moonlit bay
window. Her short tresses are ruffled by the light breeze that dances
through her room. She takes a moment to glance out her window. Her house is
located on a cliff, so nothing obscures her view of the majestic mountains
and the stars beyond.
Polaris growls softly to herself, scribbling frantically. 'I need to get this done! It needs to be done now!' She flips the home-dyed page and scribbles even more feverishly. She glances at her clock. "Holy shit! I only have 45 more minutes! And three fucking paragraphs to go!" She scripts more violently than she ever has in her life. Shaking her head, she regrets waking up so late. '1:53 is just not acceptable these days!'
There is the soft scratch of her pen moving across the paper, and then silence. She was finally finished! Polaris releases an enthusiastic whoop then quickly puts a hand over her mouth. She had to remember that her parents were just across the hallway.
In awe, she forces herself to sit down again. Glancing at her hands, she realizes they are shaking. She sips her cup of coffee, trying to settle down. It's hard to be any less excited. She picks up the book again and flips through. Right down to the pictures, it was perfect. Perfect. She hugs the book to her chest and nearly faints in happiness.
She finally had it! A most absolutely perfect replica of the most mysterious book in the library, the Universe of the Four Gods!
