"I, too, have been considering the past," Asteria admitted from where she lay. One hand she lifted to draw slow lines through the air between distant stars. "I was born once among that canopy, although I remember too being born of Phoebe. But the stars, always I long to return to them. Although-" she dropped her hand back onto the grass again "-I don't know where in the sky I sat."
Asteria - who had been heavenly then bound in flesh then built of stone - turned her head to look at Atlas for the first time. "I do not know if anything was truly simpler in those days."
