A/N: Oh look, it's up. Hooray!
2. Amber
Oh, so that's what it's like.
In the beginning, before the new sky, Amber had only known the stars as stars. They were integral to the universe, born before humans and dying after so many had already lived and died. They were immortal to the mortals. They wouldn't be gone until the world was long dead.
Once they fell, she realized that they were as mortal as she or the others, or anyone. Humans were like the stars.
She wondered if the further forward she saw, the further back she went, the more she would see the old sky, or if she would see it at all. But she didn't have time left for that, did she?
All she had time for was to watch and see what could be. She was old enough to know what would happen, give or take details. So she would puzzle it out, and like the stars that had fallen and crashed onto their planet, she would act.
She would go out before anyone noticed, but the resonating fire would scar the sky long after she was gone.
