What is that, Kala?

It was warm and breezy on the Saelyn Countryside. The verdent valley vineyard was sound asleep, save for two birds. The Young Chae chick's eyes glinted with the reflection of a million stars as she sat, entranced by the night sky.

Safely perched between her father's wings, his warm breast against her back, the young Chae scanned the endless black sea, hopping from star to star, each one twinkling a different light.

One star in particular caught her curious eye. She stared and stared, as it seemed to call out to her. She lifted a small and gentle fledgling wing, pointing at it every so slightly.
"What is that, Kala?"
