Second Star to the Left

“Home isn’t just a place, it’s a people, and I could never be truly home without you.”

“Because I love her.”

Tink spread her legs.

but a person’s eyes always told more than anything else.

Her wings had never glowed so brightly. Never.

Only for him.

The captain lay on a large bed, covered in a sheet—one that wrinkled and moved where he wiggled underneath. A deep moan slipped from his lips and carried across the room.

“Do climb aboard, love. Or would you prefer me to captain our ship?”

Their dust was meant to nourish the land, which fed and cared for them in return. The great circle of balance.

“I’m sorry I yelled at you.”

“Follow the second star to the left.

Beyond the veil, the bearded man guides you in.

The wooden trident marks the path.

Fog confuses. Don’t trust it.

Light in front. To the left. Right is right.

Up and up, higher still.

Hold your breath as you sway and swing.

Follow the eagle into the ground.

In shallow pool, the scale is found.

But only those bound two as one,

Can have the dragon’s gift.”
