Tonight's night sky is exceptionally bright, but the light does not come from the silver moon. It has long been hidden in the deep clouds, leaving only a vague circular outline. Instead, the stars are shining colorfully, converging into a gorgeous river across the night sky, from
One end of the sky crosses into the end of the sea, and the gravel in the river reflects a variety of brilliance. The constellations echo each other, and the lights of each other are connected with each other, forming a complex and grand pattern, which makes the small creatures on the ground deeply trapped in it.
, it’s hard to extricate myself.
The girl stood on the sea, raised her head, and stared at this scene, lost in thought for a long time.
People often say that the starlight in the night sky will be refracted into the sea, but this is not the case for the aliens in the deep sea, especially the mirror elves. In the legend of the oldest sea clan, the stars come from the eyes of Crystal Snow, which he misses.
The tears she shed when she was a child were full of tenderness and warm emotions. However, Crystal Snow thought that things that were too warm were not suitable for survival in the cold ocean, so she cast her tears into the sky, and this was how she came to be.
Create a boundless sea of stars that has intoxicated thousands of generations.
In this way, it is not the stars in the night sky that are refracted to the bottom of the sea, but the stars from the bottom of the sea that rise into the night sky.
Along with this legend, there is also a secret saying: all mirror elves are children of Crystal Snow, so when they die, their souls will turn into stars and return to the night sky. If you are like Crystal Snow
Snow misses her loved ones so much, so don’t cry, go to the sea and look at the night sky, maybe you can find their figures in the sea of stars.
However, few mirror elves would do this, because they are a race accustomed to living in the deep sea, and they cannot glimpse the stars in the sky at the deepest seabed. What's more, with the development of civilization, cemeteries and mausoleums have long replaced the legendary ones.
Status, when the mirror elves stood under the ancient and huge coral trees, on the gray and black shapeless corrupt soil, and expressed their condolences to a white and cold tombstone, they had completed their sustenance of longing, and there was no need to rely on the ethereal stars. Only those mirror elves who have lost their relatives, their hometowns, or even their homeland and become homeless still use this simple method, and Galenie is one of them.
Although she gained new relatives after losing her relatives, found a new hometown after losing her hometown, and found a new destination after losing her homeland... But this does not change the fact that she is helpless. In Nirvana
There were no tombstones for her parents in the cemetery of Reeds, and in the room of the Ice Water Palace, the little girl did not dare to muster up the courage to cry, or murmur those long-lost names in her sleep.
.
No one is forcing her, she is just forcing herself.
Will this star be the stern gaze of her father? Will that star be the warm smile of her mother? Galenie has no idea, she just stares blankly, taking all the starlight into her eyes and turning it into a wisp of light in the boundless sea.
Lonely memories.
If every starlight symbolizes the longing of a deceased person, then her thin eyes have already carried too many longings. Most of them belong to others, and only a few belong to herself. However, she has lost her due to the passage of time.
Gradually, I can't tell the difference, so I can only accept it all regardless of it, even if doing so will oppress my soul and deprive the young girl of any breathing space.
If she didn't do this, she was really afraid that at some point she would suddenly forget her parents' faces, forget the fragrance of sea flowers in the streets and alleys of her hometown, and forget those things that should not be forgotten.
Although the surname she should most forget is still intact in her own name, as if to remind her of something.
"Sister."
When Galenie was lost in thought, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind her. The girl turned around in shock, only to find a younger girl standing in front of her with her hands behind her back, looking at her with a smile.
Galenie's brain went blank for a moment, and she didn't know how to deal with it, but the other party didn't care about her reaction. Instead, she came forward, stood side by side with her, looked up at the stars, and the stars in the sky were reflected in her eyes.
, shining like a gem: "Why don't you go to bed so late and sneak to the sea to look at the stars?"
"Ro, Rorona." Galene called out her sister's name stiffly. Even though they had been together for a while, she still wasn't used to calling the girl in front of her in a more affectionate tone. Probably because of the sisterhood between the two.
The relationship is not based on blood, but on other stranger things. At least it is still unfamiliar to Galenie now: "I, I am not, I just, can't sleep, so..."
"It is said that the stars in the sky are all the thoughts of relatives." Rorona suddenly interrupted her, then turned her head slightly, her eyes met Galene's slightly panicked eyes, and the chaos was reflected in her eyes.
Starlight, after this gaze, was also reflected in Galene's eyes, reflecting each other: "Sister, are you homesick?"
Unlike Galenie, her tone of calling her sister was more natural and familiar, as if she had really treated Galenie as her sister at some point. But is this really possible? The two have never met.
, can strangers who have never known each other really become close to each other because of one person's words at the first moment they meet? Even if that person is the queen of this city and the common mother of both people. p>
"I, I——"
Galenie opened her mouth and wanted to defend but couldn't say a word. She wanted to say that she was not homesick, she wanted to say that she no longer cared about the past, she wanted to say that she only went to the sea to watch the stars because she couldn't sleep...
...But she couldn't say any of this, and could only be speechless at her sister's gaze.
Because both mothers taught her that lying is wrong. Galenie loved the first mother and respected the second mother. She obeyed their teachings and refused to admit that she had never had any inseparable feelings for the past.<
/p>
This bewildered look was in sharp contrast to the calm and relaxed Rorona. Looking at the smiling expression on the other person's face, Galenie didn't know why, but she suddenly hated her sister. It wasn't just because she showed up at an inappropriate time.
Maybe it's because she accepted her sister too quickly.
I am a stranger you have never known. I am here to take away your mother's love from you, and I am here to threaten your status as a princess. You should be indifferent, wary and reject me. Why do you call "sister"
Why are these two words said so easily? To you, I am actually nothing. Even if it were another person, you could say these two words without any worries, because you don’t care?<
/p>
But I care.
Because I am different from you, I have lost everything, including my parents and my hometown.
Galenie suddenly felt aggrieved. She turned her head away with all her strength, raised her little face, and tried hard not to let the shiny things fall from the corners of her eyes. She said gloomily: "Yes, I just came to see the stars. If you
If you want to complain to Mother, go ahead."
"But why would I do that?" Rorona shook her head and said, "I also ran out secretly. If I went to complain, I would be asking for nothing."
"Mother will not punish you."
"Yes, it's terrible for mother to be angry, isn't it? Then we will all be punished to clean the palace and fertilize all the gardens in the Ice Water Palace."
When Galene heard this, she couldn't help but shudder. Then she realized something and glanced at Rorona in confusion: "Us?"
"That's right, us." Rorona blinked: "We did this together, of course we will be punished together?"
Galenie thought her statement was a bit strange, but she didn't take it to heart. She snorted and said, "What are you afraid of? I will say that I did it alone and it has nothing to do with you. Then my mother will not
I’ll punish you.”
Galenia still has this awareness that one person should do things for the other. Moreover, she feels that there is no need to offend the real princess of Nereids City for such a trivial matter. Just like her mother said, from now on, she will
When living alone, one must be more cautious and not be as willful as before...
"Are you going to take responsibility for me, sister?" Rorona exclaimed, her mouth slightly opened, obviously surprised. Galenie was interrupted by her thoughts and replied angrily: "Yes, that's right.
This way."
What else can we do otherwise? Should we ask you, the real princess, to take responsibility for yourself, the fake princess?
"Thank you, sister!" Rorona suddenly came over, rubbed her shoulder with her soft cheek, then looked at the dazed Galene with bright eyes, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Sister
She is so kind to me, I like my sister best!"
My favorite is sister...
"Eh!? Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing, it's just that my heart suddenly hurts."
"Do you need me to rub it for you?"
"Uh, don't you need it?"
"It doesn't matter, come on, gently, slowly, the pain will fly away. Sister, will it still hurt?"
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore!"
Seeing the worry and concern in the eyes of the little girl in front of her, an inexplicable emotion surged into her heart. Galenie didn't know why, but she suddenly liked this sister.
What a good child, how could anyone hate her?
The previous complaints disappeared, and the two sisters got back together, although they actually had no conflicts at all. When Galenie called out Rorona's name again, she didn't realize that her tone was no longer stiff and stiff.
Jerky. Just like this, the two girls watched the stars on the sea all night. The little girl was next to the older girl and rested her head on her arm. The scene looked particularly warm.
When a shooting star trailed a dazzling white track across the sky and gradually fell towards the huge shadowy city on the horizon, my sister suddenly raised her head and asked: "Sister, do you like watching stars?"
"Well... that's right."
Mainly because I miss home.
"Then you can come here often to watch the stars."
"Mother will find out."
"It doesn't matter, I can keep it secret for you, sister. I have many magical props that you can use."
"Aren't those your treasures?"
"It doesn't matter if it's for my sister~"
"...Thank you."
"You're welcome, but on the other hand, sister also wants to do me a favor and do something for me, okay?"
Galenie, who felt a little guilty just now, immediately patted her chest and agreed: "No problem, what's the matter?"
"I haven't decided yet, so I'll tell you when I decide."
"You haven't thought about it yet?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet."
"You decided to help me before you even thought about it, Lorena, you are such a strange person."
