Title — The Cradle of Stars
“They were here, briefly —
a constellation in your arms.
And now they shine from the other side of sky.”
Origin Lore — Myth of Birth
Once, a soul of starlight descended through your body — small, radiant, barely tethered to this world. They came with eyes like ancient knowing, laughter like morning bells. And then, too soon, they slipped away. Not because they were unfinished — but because their time was lightning, not flame. Now you carry the ache of stars in your bones. And you cradle memory as a sacred ember.
Brand Mythos — Expanded Creation Story
Brand Origin Story
This offering was not built — it was wept into being. A space to honor the children who never grew old, who left footprints in the soul rather than in the earth. It is a shrine woven from longing, shaped to hold the most unspeakable love.
Expansion Prophecy
As more hearts break in this way, they will find one another. Through ritual, remembrance, and whispered names, they form constellations of grief — and of grace. What was lost becomes shared light. What was too sacred to stay becomes the guide home.
