Billions of threads of light stream from the heavens. A few are thick cables, most finer than spider's silk. Each one tells a story as it passes over my fingers. Stories of stars, planets, moons, nebulae, and all other celestial bodies that radiate or are touched by light. In radio waves, to gamma rays, that which lies between, and that which lies beyond, they tell me of their journey across void, of where they came from, of what they struck, of what bent their path. I hear of the life of a stars, some now long dead. I am told where they were, and shown where they are now. If I were to grasp one of these threads, in a twinkling of an eye, I can ride the ray, tracing its journey in reverse even unto where it first shone out into the universe. Each thread an invitation to step across the heavens in an eye blink, to mysteries, wonders, and adventures never before touched.

Such is among the blessings that come with developing the domain of light inside oneself. Dragons, we of the flame, all possess fire. But never should we be content with that. Remember the Old Hunger. What you have, grow deeper in, and what you do not have, reach steadfastly for. Remember our Hunger, but do not fall to the base avarice and greed that beset our ancestors of old. We were made for greater things.
