The song of the mote of dust, a single thread of sound in the vast, silent tapestry of the cosmos, did not go unanswered.
From the heart of a dying star, a new voice emerged.
It was a voice of fire and of memory, of a life lived in a blaze of glory and a slow, graceful fade.
It was a voice that had seen the birth and death of worlds, and it sang of the beauty of impermanence.
The two voices, one of dust and one of fire, wove together in a harmony that was both new and eternal.
