Drohan and Nathan go to a moonlit field outside of the city, where light pollution cannot obscure the view of the stars above. As they both lay down in the grass, Drohan is eager to tell Nathan all about the stars. "You see, Nathan, for you, those are just tiny beams of light because they are so far away" - Drohan explains. "But, the stars hold far more stories, each star is both a diamond we create to shine bright and guide those looking for a path in the dark..."

"And they are also what?" - Nathan kindly asks Drohan mid-sentence.

"I was just getting to that. The biggest stars, the ones that shine the brightest, are actually the spirits of my ancestors, bears who have watched over the universe for thousands of years. Once their mission has been fulfilled, they join their friends and allies in the sky and become the brightest stars of them all."

"Wow..." - Nathan exclaims. "And to think, we all just thought they were just dots of light that made for pretty scenery. Now, they look more beautiful now that you told me what they actually are, because in a sense, it's telling me who you are".

Drohan just stares back at the sky, says a very faint "Yeah...". Both remain quiet as they enjoy the beauty of the night, with Nathan knowing more about the stars he used to wish upon as a young dragon, and how Drohan had managed to come so far from such a long heritage of guardians of light.
