"A star?"
Bladedance took the talisman from Alex's hands, watching it herself once again. She reached the end of the recording, where she saw the tiny glowing orb beyond the moon.
"Is that a star?"
Everything that glowed in the night sky was a star. In reality, most of these 'stars' were just floating objects in the night sky, reflecting light from the sun. Whether they were massive realms or small pieces of space debris caught in a realm's gravity belt, they were considered the same.
However, that was only true for the realm or anywhere close to it.
Any 'star' they saw was relatively nearby, no more than a few dozen years' travel away.
But this recording had been made nearly a thousand years' travel away from the realm, in a patch of space where nothing reflected any light. Even when looking toward the sun, there were no signs of stars, as the weak light of the realms was far too faint to reach that place.
