A Thousand Years? (Part 2)

For hours Moira and Lone Blaze watched Adam connect one star to another. With each new star, it became more difficult to do so as the chain grew longer.

He didn't need to reassemble. He had more than enough stars to choose from. However, there were hundreds of them. Sometimes, he found the right one in a few seconds, but other times, it took him ten minutes or more.

Obviously, the larger the structure the harder it was to find the right star.

Sure, at the very end, when there were few options left, he could do it fairly quickly. However, he was still a long way from that.

Adam took a step back, looking at his work.

"Fifteen stars, right...?"

His gaze was exhausted, he was tired both physically and mentally. He needed a rest, though he managed to get some good news.

Step. Step. Step.

As if following an invisible ladder, Adam descended to Moira and Lone Blaze stepped through the darkness.
