Stars, that’s what he saw when he opened his eyes, Star Bolt looked into the sky as he laid on his back in a field. He noticed the pain on his shoulder was gone so he immediately assumed he was dead. He continued looking at the sky and mumbled to himself, “I… I'm responsible. It was me, I started this war, I brought the eclipse upon everypony. It’s my fault; they all died because of me, because I couldn’t see that, the mare I loved wasn’t the one giving me orders, she was the one taking my orders all along. I deserve this; I deserve to die withou…”
Star Bolt went silent when he felt somepony’s hoof slowly grip his, “Don’t talk like that commander, you know as well as I do, that you only did what you saw was the right choice. Even if it caused this much trouble, you fought to the bitter end, and never gave up… unless you plan to start now.”
Star Bolt smiled as a tear started to roll down his face, then he looked to his right, at the pony whose voice could never be forgotten, “I know you will always try to cheer me up Gem, but this time, I don’t think anything will. I… I'm done. I can’t continue fighting if it only brings more pain to others.”
Gem Stone smiled and shook her head, “You’re such a big foal, you always did what you thought was right only to help your army or us. However, you never thought once about helping yourself. You need to stop thinking about others for once and start thinking about what you want.”
Star Bolt looked a Gem Stone, then he closed his eyes in shame, “Gem… the reason I fought this war was for my selfishness. I wanted to free Princess Luna because I was in…”
“Love with her… I know, but did you want to free her to be with her? Or did you just want to free her so she could be free? You fought because you wanted to break her heart from the darkness, not because you wanted to be with her. See, that wasn’t selfish at all. You have always fought so that others can be happy. You started that when you asked to be trained before you joined the royal guard, and from there you spent your entire life trying to help somepony else, the princesses’, your army, nightmare moon, and many others. Now, there are no others, no army, officers, or rulers. So now, you need to help yourself, you need to stop living for others and start living for yourself or at least try to live your own life.”
Star Bolt looked into her eyes, but how? Now that I'm dead how can I…”
“You’re not dead, Zecora is helping you now.”
“Zecora? You mean that Zebra I saw? But I had a spear through my body, how could she possibly…”
“Chief Rafi”
“Rafi? What’s he got to do with Anyth…”
Gemstone sighed, “You really are slow aren’t you? Chief Rafi is her ancestor; he has been wanting to help you since the day you left. So, he sent her a vision to find you, and she knows more about medical potions than anyzebra in the world. In fact, she already saved you. All you have to do is wake up. but before you do I need to let you know, you are about to make a choice that will decide your future I just want to let you know that no matter your choice, I’ll always follow you. no matter what.”
Star Bolt smiled, “Thank you Gem, as usual you found a way to cheer me up.”
Gem Stone smiled as a tear rolled down her face, “One more thing, that promise you made to me in Canterlot… I'm still waiting.”
Star Bolt started to think, “Promise? What promi…”
While looking at Gem Stone a bright light shined from over the horizon behind her, so Star Bolt closed his eyes to shield it, but when he opened his eyes, he was looking at a ceiling above him. The pain in his chest was back bur it seemed like it wasn’t as bad as before.
Star Bolt looked around the room at the décor, everything around him seemed somewhat creepy, but he recognized it as the basic appearance of a zebra’s home. Then he looked to his right and saw the zebra that lived here, she was just finishing the stiches on his wound when Star Bolt spoke to her. “Your name is Zecora, right?”
Zecora smiled and nodded her head, “It’s nice to meet a warrior, so strong and so bold, you faced many foes, or so I was told,
You don’t know me nor I know you, but an ancestors words, ring loud and true.
for one hour I worked, I did all I could, to save your life, as my ancestor would.
you’ve been sleeping for half the time that I had, but you need your rest, your wounds were quite bad.”
Star Bolt smiled and sat up, “Thank you Zecora, but I feel fine now. Do you know where you put my armor and shield? I would like to check the damage.”
Zecora pointed to the set of armor and the matching shield that sat on a chair in the corner of the room. When Star Bolt approached it, he started checking the armor for damage, then he checked the pockets, “Hmm… three bits... Barely enough for a simple meal, and…”
When Star Bolt checked the pocket that was behind his chest plate, he was shocked. Gem’s bandana, the one she wore the day she died was still there, one thousand years and it still looked new, aside from a small stain of blood in the corner from his shoulder wound. Star Bolt held it close to his chest and spoke to himself, “Gem… I'm sorry, I have to be selfless for a little while longer. I can’t let this happen again.”
When Zecora saw the pain in his eyes she started to turn away to give him a moment, but Star Bolt reached out and put his hoof on her shoulder, “Zecora I thank you for your kindness, but I have to go, I must find Nightmare Moon and stop her from repeating history. I can’t let her start a second war.”
Zecora lowered her head in worry, “If that’s your goal, then I'll help all I can, to stop Nightmare Moon, and her evil plan.
She’ll be at the ruins that hold harmony, the old dark castle, deep in the Everfree.
You know of this place, when you felt betrayed, the dark old castle where your judgment was made.
But warn you I must, for I will not deny, if you fight, with your wounds… you will die.”
Star Bolt picked up his shield. He studied the hole that was on its face. One inch to the left then it would have gone through his arm too. However, that didn’t matter now. The blade was still sharp, so as long as he didn’t block anything he would be fine. Leaving his armor on the ground he slung the shield and started for the door, before he left he turned around and hugged Zecora, “Thank you… not only have you saved my life, but you pointed me in the right direction. It has been a long time since I had a friend, and even though you were only fulfilling your ancestors wish, I still owe you my life. As your ancestor Chief Rafi would say, I hope good fortune will smile upon you.”
Zecora didn’t expect Star Bolt to hug her; she blushed a little as she replied, “A friend… to you? I'm embarrassed to say, you’re my first friend in many a day,
now go and be safe for this night will soon, be the last night we hear from Nightmare Moon.”
Star Bolt smiled as he trotted out the door and flew into the sky as fast as his wing would allow while ignoring his injury. Zecora trotted to the door and watched as he flew away, “Good luck my friend, for this is your night, to change your past and make everything right.
You have one more choice, to lead strong and proud, or to exile yourself, and blend in with a crowd.
So I leave you now, to decide your task, will you run away… or end it, at last.”
Star Bolt flew through the air as fast as he could toward the castle of the alicorn sisters, as he flew he started thinking about everything he has gone through during the last war. he couldn’t believe all the things that had happened throughout his life. As he thought about it, he started to realize Gem Stone was right, every risk he took could have ended with his death, but they were all to encourage his soldiers, protect his family, or to free Luna. At no time did he ever do anything that benefitted himself only. He mumbled to himself, “This is my last act of selflessness. I must stop this war from starting then I have a debt to pay to Princess Celestia.”
After a while of flying, Star Bolt approached the castle of the alicorn sisters. When he came to land just outside the ruins his wound started acting up, making his front hooves go limp as he tried to land, after hitting the ground and rolling for a few feet, he picked himself off the ground and checked his stitches to see if they reopened. Luckily, they didn’t but he knew that if a fight was waiting for him then he would be in trouble. Suddenly he heard a scream from the remains of an old tower followed by a light that shined out the windows. The scream sounded exactly like Nightmare Moon, but to make thing even worse, the light he saw, he recognized as light emitted from the Elements of Harmony.
Star Bolt didn’t like this one bit, but before he could react, a blinding light came from behind him, when he turned to look at what it was, he couldn’t believe his eyes. It was the sun. It had been more than one thousand years since he witnessed a sunrise. As he watched the sun come over the horizon, he saw something else that made him feel uneasy. Princess Celestia was flying overhead towards the tower that the elemental light shined from. Star Bolt quickly took cover to hide from her view, then he thought to himself, “If she didn’t use the Elements, then who did? Either way this is my chance to end her too, without the Element of Harmony, she’s weak.”
Star Bolt knew that the fastest way to that tower was through the main lobby of the old castle. As he made his way through the lobby, he noticed that everything looked different, while at the same time, it looked the same. As he trotted by the old pillars, he could see the banners hanging over the pike ponies heads as they watched Star Bolt and his group approach the throne room. Then he saw the gash in the floor where Viscous’ shock caused her spell to vanish making her heavy axe hit the floor. He started hearing her cried in the back of his mind, “WHAT DO YOU CARE! I'm all alone now… I'm the last of the Nightmare Officers!”
Star Bolt sighed, “It seems like a bad dream, one that I can never wake up form as lo…”
Suddenly Star Bolt started to hear voices coming from the doorway ahead, he quickly took cover behind a pillar and watched as a Pink earth pony, and a unicorn who he could only describe as elegance with four hooves trotted into the lobby, the pink pony hopped along chanting, “We’re going to paaarty, we’re going to paaarty.”
Then the Unicorn spoke, “You know Pinkie, I would prefer a little beauty sleep after a long night like this one, but I suppose I could go for one more soirée before getting some rest, this is a special occasion after all.”
Star Bolt thought to himself, “Who are these ponies? And what does she mean by special occasion?”
Next two pegasi entered the room, one with a rainbow colored mane and the other with a long pink mane. The pony with the rainbow mane spoke first, “You know Fluttershy, you were a lot braver than I expected you to be, did you find any special courage in this adventure of ours?”
Fluttershy replied, “Oh… I uh… I didn’t notice at all, maybe… I did find some bravery through all this… I bet I coul…”
A small shard of glass fell from a nearby window and made a very small crashing sound, Fluttershy yelped then quickly rushed and hid behind the rainbow maned pony. The pony only sighed, “Uh… I guess you didn’t find any courage this time after all.”
Hearing Fluttershy yelp kind of brought a smile to Star Bolt’s face, not because of her being afraid of something so small as glass, but because it made her seem very cute, in an adorable kind of way.
He noticed that they all were wearing a charm around their neck; this charm had to be a piece of the Elements of Harmony, so he could only assume they were split into each element and they were carried by different ponies now… Meaning that Princess Celestia didn’t wield them all anymore.
Then two more ponies, an earth pony wearing a hat, and a purple unicorn entered the room, following Princess Celestia. Star Bolt thought that this was the perfect chance, with the elements split up and the first four ponies already out of the room he could catch her off guard and kill her before she had a chance to react. Star Bolt unslung his shield, secured it to his arm and listened while he waited for her to pass the pillar he hid behind. The purple unicorn spoke to Princess Celestia, “So you planed me and my new friends to do this from the very start your majesty?”
Princess Celestia smiled, “Of course Twilight Sparkle, this plan has been in the works for centuries but I didn’t decide I would pass the task to you until I saw the magic you possessed, I knew that with your skills you would find the perfect friends to help complete this task for me. I'm so proud of you… and your friends.”
As soon as Princess Celestia passed the pillar he was hiding behind, Star Bolt thought to himself, “This is it; it’s time to make her pay for the pain and suffering I endured for the past millennium, and for using me to get close to Nightmare Moon all those centuries ago.”
Star Bolt took one step out from behind the pillar to charge. But as he did, the earth pony turned back to the door they entered from and called out, “Come on, princess! I know it’s been a while, but your subjects will be pleased as peaches to see that ya returned safe and sound.”
Star Bolt quickly jumped back behind the pillar and looked at the door with curiosity, “Princess?”
Star Bolt froze in complete shock, he couldn’t believe his eyes, there standing in the doorway with a somewhat nervous expression on her face, was Princess Luna of Equestria. The real Luna, the Luna that saved him as a foal, gave him confidence during the royal guard exam, the Luna he spent every night talking with in the Canterlot garden, and the same Luna who he spent a year in darkness trying to bring back.
Princess Luna looked around the room as she slowly made her way through the lobby. “Luna!!”
This word rang over and over in his mind, but Star Bolt didn’t open his mouth to say it. He wanted more than anything to call out to her, but he stayed quiet. He wanted nothing more than to run to her, but he stayed put where he was. Instead, he kept himself hidden behind the pillar, hoping the she wouldn’t see him. After everything he has been through, everypony he killed, every home he burned, and every city that has fallen to him. He couldn’t confront the one pony that he did it all for. He couldn’t approach Princess Luna… not anymore… Why? He couldn’t understand it, his feelings for her started to return as soon as he saw her, but for some unknown reason he felt like things would be better if she didn’t know he was there.
As Princess Celestia and the other two ponies left the lobby Star Bolt watched as Princess Luna approached the door, right before she reached the door Star Bolt spoke softly, “Welcome home… Luna.”
Princess Luna froze in her tracks, then she slowly turned her head in the direction that she though she heard a voice come from. She looked around but she didn’t see anypony from where she was standing. Princess Luna turned around as started trotting closer to the pillars to investigate but as she did, Princess Celestia called to her from outside, “Sister are you coming to greet your Subjects? What’s taking you so long? Is there something wrong?”
Princess Luna smiled and shook her head, “No it’s nothing, I just thought I heard somepony, that’s all.”
As Luna turned around and trotted towards the door, Star Bolt came out from behind the pillar and watched her trot out of the door, the room… and his life. He sighed as he watched her leave then he turned around and continued towards the tower.
As Star Bolt entered the old tower, he could feel the magic of the elements still present in the room, he could only think, this power left a trail that was as easy to feel as the electricity at the Thunder Grounds… perhaps this too was a curse, but one with a much better price. Thank Celestia I don’t bear this one too.”
As Star Bolt trotted towards the window he caught a gimps of The Alicorn Sisters leaving on a carriage pulled by pegasi soldiers. As they flew into the distance as he spoke quietly to himself, Celestia… you kept your promise and fulfilled your part of the agreement, you won’t get any trouble from me. Goodbye Luna your nights will always be beautiful in my eyes. But I won’t be with you to tell you just how beautiful they really are.”
When Star Bolt turned around he kicked something on the ground next to his hooves, taking a closer look he realized that it was some kind of armor, but he didn’t know who it belonged to until he saw the deep gash that he left in it the last time he saw Nightmare Moon. As he looked at the armor, he felt a strange combination of accomplishment, regret, and pity. He was happy to see that she got what she deserved, but he felt bad that he couldn’t free Luna himself. Also he felt a little sorry for her, maybe he has some kind of feelings for her, or maybe he felt sorry for her that she loved him and tried to kill him. but something inside him made him feel bad so he removed his shield and looked at the hole in it, “She hit me in the shoulder when she could have easily hit me in the heart… she couldn’t kill me, at least not knowingly. She really did love me… but I could never return my feeling, not after losing what I have. The war was my fault, but I still fought it for this… Monster.”
Star Bolt took one last look at the shield then he propped it up against the ruined armor that sat on the floor. As he turned around leaving the shield there, he said one word, the same word that angered him. The word that was used by Nightmare Moon to describe him from time to time, “Pathetic”
Star Bolt trotted out of the castle without looking back.
Epilogue
It had been four days since he saw the sunrise, and in that time, Star Bolt traded his armor to Zecora for a cloak, a saddlebag and a short sword that she personally made for him, he then decided to set off on his own. The sun was just setting as Star Bolt slowly trotted closer and closer to Dragon Mountain. After wandering through the woods for a while, he finally approached a small gate with a lock on it. However, the lock made no difference, the rusty gate was so worn that Star Bolt only had to push against it before it fell to the ground in rust covered scraps. After he passed, the gate he made his way deeper and deeper into the forest until he reached a vine-covered statue that sat in a small clearing.
As he looked upon this old statue, he started to have flashbacks of when it was new. He looked around the area and could see the mourning friends and soldiers who attended the memorial service. He could see Ardent crying her eyes out, while Callous gave his speech. He could hear the sound of the guards drawing their swords and raising them to salute. Star Bolt took the hood of his cloak off his head and looked at the statue very closely it had been more than a thousand years and Princess Celestia kept it standing and even refurbished it a few times. Now here it sat, lost in time and lost in memories of those who were there.
Star Bolt drew his sword and started cutting away on the vines that covered the statue, being very careful not to damage the statue itself. He continued cutting away at each vine without even touching any part of the stone that made the statue, using perfect precision and accuracy that he only used during combat more than a millennium ago. When he finished he landed and cut away the last vine that covered the inscription, then he stepped back to take a good look, “It looks just like her, even now after one thousand years, this statue looks exactly like her.”
Star Bolt pulled the pink bandanna from his saddle bag and laid it on the bottom pedestal where that statue stood.
Star Bolt looked down at the inscription and began to read, “Here lies, Captain Gem Stone, The last soldier to fall during the Nightmare Crusade at the Battle of Canterlot. She was born into a tragedy and lived in misery, but despite all she lived through, she still found reason to smile. She was proof that every Gem Stone shines its brightest, when it’s in the light of a Star. A good friend, a wonderful sister, and the love of her commander’s life. She, her arrows and her loyalty will shine forever, as her memory will never fade. The loyal, the beautiful, the strong, the Gem of the Nightmare Legion.”
After reading the statue, Star Bolt wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled, “Well Gem… I know I'm late but here I am. I made a promise and I kept it, I told you I would meet you here, and… well you know what they say… better late than never… right?... I miss you. There isn’t anything else I can say, but I miss you, with all my heart. It looks like after all these years… er centuries. I finally completed my goal. And now you can rest easy. I'm done killing, I'm done fighting battles for others. Now it’s time I fight my own battles, to find my own path, and my own home. It looks like this big foal can finally put his past behind him.”
A voice called out from behind Star Bolt, “This area is restricted to all who don’t have direct permission from Princess Celestia! Why are you here?”
thinking fast Star Bolt put his hood back over his head and turned his head slightly to look at the pony who was talking to him. when he saw who it was he felt uneasy. It was a royal guard, and not just any, this guard happened to be a commander. Star Bolt gripped the sword under his cloak as he replied, “I apologize, I'm just a wanderer who lost the road and found this place by mistake. I didn’t know it was off limits.”
The Commander continued, “This place isn’t near any roads! Either you have been traveling a long time off the road, or you’re lying to me, which is it?”
Star Bolt kept a hold of his sword as he replied, “You caught me, I heard storied of a statue of what was referred to me as the Gem of the Nightmare Legion so I got curious and decided to take a look myself. I didn’t mean any harm.”
The commander looked at Star Bolt with curious expression, “And why would you care about some old statue?”
“The stories I’ve heard seems quite interesting, I'm certain you yourself have heard about it before. Haven’t you?”
The Commander Smiled, “Yea my old superiors used to tell me that she was traitor, an archer who did nothing but brought shame to Equestria. But you should expect that from any wicked mare who could ever fall in love with the great Commander Bolt.”
Star Bolt’s fury started to make him tremble in intense rage, in fact, he was so angry he didn’t even realize that he had drawn the sword halfway from its sheath as if he was going to strike the commander when he dropped his guard. Then the commander continued, “However.”
“However?”
The commander smiled in a more peaceful way, “Princess Celestia told us the real story about her, She was a beautiful mare who wanted nothing more than to be by her commander’s side, both on and off the battlefield. She fought bravely and with honor for both sides, only to be stricken down in a terrible way during the Battle of Canterlot. It was her death that caused Commander Bolt of the Nightmare legion to surrender that day. She still holds the record for longest arrow accurately fired, and she is the example used when training archers even today. A great soldier and from what I hear, a noble soul. Her commander must have been one of great skill to train such a pony…”
Star Bolt interrupted the commander “No, he wasn’t, her commander gave her an order and she followed it like any soldier, but it was his selfishness and corruption that hid her love from his eyes. She did everything she could to keep his spirits up, she loved him with all her heart and he didn’t even realize it until it was too late. She didn’t deserve to die the way she did, and he didn’t deserve her love. But that didn’t stop her. She fought until the end and literally devoted her life to him.”
The celestial commander replied, “Wow, we never heard the story from that perspective before, well either way she is still an important role model for the archers of this kingdom.”
Star Bolt sighed, “Well commander, when you’re right your right, I'll go ahead and take my leave, sorry if my curiosity broke any rules or anything, I just wanted to see this statue. That’s all.”
As Star Bolt turned around and started trotting into the forest, the commander spoke up, “She misses you, you know.”
Star Bolt tuned to look back at the celestial commander, “What did you say?”
The commander replied, “Princess Luna, she still misses you. Every night she trots through the Canterlot garden… alone, refusing to allow anypony to trot with her. She used to visit the Thunder Grounds every night, but she always broke out in tears so she stopped to ease the pain in her heart. She thinks that she killed you in the Everfree Forest. She continues to blame herself for your death. So, are you going to let her carry that kind of pain on her conscience?”
Star Bolt took off his hood and looked at the commander, “If there is anything I’ve learned in one thousand years, it’s that when somepony you care about dies, you will eventually get over them.”
The Commander replied, “If that’s true then why are you here? Why did you come to this statue?”
Star Bolt didn’t answer instead he turned around and started trotting into the forest.
The Commander Called out to him, “Commander Bo…”
“SHUT UP!!!... my name is Star Bolt… Commander Bolt died a few days ago… in the Everfree Forest.”
The commander Sighed, “Do you know what the last phrase in the royal guard creed is? We will guard the royal sisters with our very life, from every sing…”
“Single form of pain or strife.”
Star Bolt thought about those words for a couple of seconds then he realized what the commander meant. Acting as fast as he could he drew his sword and blocked a swing from the commanders broad sword. The commander spoke, “It’s my duty to prevent any pain from disrupting the royal sisters’ lives, so I'll bring you in and prove to Princess Luna that she shouldn’t blame herself for anything.”
Star Bolt pushed the commander back and replied, “You forget commander… I’m out of your league!”
“WE’LL SEE ABOUT THAT!!!”
When the commander charged, again Star Bolt flapped his left wing to throw dust into the air. The commander swung his sword through the dust but hit nothing, and then Star Bolt moved in to the commanders lower left and punched the commander in his throat with his right hoof. When the commander dropped to a knee to catch his breath, Star Bolt kicked him in the face knocking him onto his back. The commander tried to shuffle to his hooves but before he had the chance, Star Bolt already had his sword against the commander’s neck. The commander looked into his eyes and spoke, “So this is your choice then, you’re willing to let her suffer?”
Star Bolt replied, “I'm willing to let go of my past. Things would be better off if I didn’t exist, Equestria doesn’t need ponies like comm…”
“Dad?”
Star Bolt looked in the direction the voice came from, and saw a grey pegasus standing near Gem’s statue. Star Bolt mumbled to himself. “Déjà vu,”
Thinking fast he smiled, sheathed his sword and stepped back, then he held out his hoof to the commander and spoke, “Very good commander, your training has improved but you might want to work on your defense, you leave your lower left wide open after you swing, that’s how I beat you.”
The commander immediately realized what Star Bolt was doing, so he played along, “Maybe I didn’t expect you to play so dirty, throwing dust into my face? That’s low… even for you.”
“All is fair in love and war commander. I thought you would realize that by now.”
The Young Pegasus was confused, “Uh… dad, what’s going on here?”
The commander looked at his son, “Oh Icarus, I was just having a spar with an old friend from my training days, this is Mr…”
Star Bolt quickly spoke up, “Wanderer… I have no more need of a name now that I'm retired so wanderer is fine.”
The gray pegasus paid no mind to his curiosity and just replied, “Okay, well dad, moms looking for you?”
The commander replied, “Alright Icarus, I'll be there in a few minutes.”
As the young pegasus trotted away Star Bolt looked at the commander, “Your son?”
The commander smiled, “Yep, I’ve been telling him your story for years, it’s actually given him a little confidence.”
“My story?”
“The Great Commander Bolt and his armies, the soldier of soldiers. Princess Celestia has told use of your battles many times, before… you know you’re a legend in the royal guard. So… Mr. wanderer, what will you do now, if you won’t return to Canterlot?”
Star Bolt put his hood back on, “I'll just keep on wandering, there got to be a place for me somewhere out there.”
The commander smiled, “I saw the markings of your sword sheath, as well as the mark on your blade, those are… cutie marks, right?”
Star Bolt smiled, “Keep your family protected commander, I always keep mine close to me in my own way.”
“Is that so… well then I will wish you luck in your travels, and I'll let you know, Princess Celestia thinks you’re still alive and it won’t be long before she sends a search party after you.”
Star Bolt smiled as he trotted away, “Well it’s safe to say my travels will be anything but boring.”
Star Bolt continued into the woods and vanished from the commander’s sight.
The rumors of Commander Bolt’s return spread like wild fire. Some say he was only a myth and never existed. Some say he did exist but he was killed a thousand years ago, some say he died at the hooves of Nightmare Moon, while others say he still Wanders Equestria today. Princess Celestia believing that he is alive has sent countless search parties after him. Only to have battered, beaten, and bruised soldiers return. Princess Luna never could decide if she believed he was alive or not. Nevertheless, one thing was certain, she never forgave herself for the way she treated Star Bolt while she was Nightmare Moon.
Star Bolt still wanders from city to city in Equestria. He has even traveled as far as the Griffon Kingdoms, though he always tries to avoid Canterlot. He has taken odd jobs for money as a weather stallion, a bodyguard, and a self-defense teacher. However, when anypony gets suspicious of his past, or when royal guards start snooping around, he packs up and leaves, searching for that one place where he can truly belong. Searching for a place where a fallen star can live his own life.
