“What’s stranger yet is that each star mapped in the outline of the sword is the same precise age. They came into existence at exactly the same time. Multiple star systems are certainly not unheard of. But twelve stars born at once and gravitationally bound in a stable array? It’s impressive, to say the least. I don’t think we’ll ever know if myths like Leandros’s were true. But I’d like to think if the star-crossed lovers are out there still that they’re together.”
