We are looking for something. We are searching through a shattered moon for the divine being he believes, hopes, needs to have here with him and his sisters. We hope to find answers about their existence. Who they are. Where they came from.
Why they were abandoned to rule as toddlers.
Why they had to be alone, and why this second moon had to be so far apart, that he didn't even know about it despite it all until it shattered-
He's getting close to the center of all this, and the narrow cavern gives way to a crater that splits into multiple canyons all around them. Overhead, pieces of moon rock float, drift, collapse into each other and recoil slowly.
He thinks he sees the ruins of a house. (More than poor Ourania had.) He thinks he sees a pale hand from behind a jutted rock. He bursts into a run-
