Cave of Stars

My journey started when I was a young boy. Just a wee lad. My name is Malachi Starheart, and all this happened because of my Uncle Cosmo. You see, he was a dealer of celestial artifacts. If you don’t know what that is, it is a collection of treasures that have fallen from the sky or documents written about things that have fallen from the sky. Easy enough stuff if you know where and how to look. But I digress. My Uncle died a while back, and when he did, he left me a treasure trove of these celestial artifacts. One such memento was a beaten leather-bound book. This manuscript was of an age that the pages had turned yellow and brittle. Not only that, but they were also written in a very strange language.                                                                                   In order to read the pages, I needed to seek out a person who was fluent in many forms of communication and had learned how to decipher languages that could not be acquired by natural means. This individual happened to be a shaman of sorts. The One who Knows he was called, and this shaman could take himself into another realm of existence to find the knowledge needed to read strange scripts. When the One Who Knows returned from his journey to the other realm. While there, he was able to decrypt the meaning of what the old book held. The book referred to a place called “The Cave of Stars.” This site is to contain manuscripts that hold extensive knowledge of the cosmos, including the homeworld of the Avens. It told of a cosmic wisdom-seeker who drifted on a boat made from a piece of the moon. He drifts amidst the darkness. Stars hung from the ceiling and glimmered inside the cave. It also went on to say that if you were to choose the precise stars, they would lead you to the cavern where the secrets you sought could be found. That information was as exciting as it could be, but the only problem was that the book did not mention where the darn “Cave of Stars” was located. Now, that, my friends, will be saved for another story and time
