"Once there was a Relia, a small flying creature akin to a Terran moth. Now this Relia spied a star once in the clear night and it fluttered high trying to reach the star. The others, laughed at this particular one" The all said: "Find something more attainable, like a candle or a lamp!" This particular Relia refused and every night when it could its star, it would again flutter and fly as high as it could to be with that light. Well time went on, and all that called this paritcular Relia foolish had all perished from flying too close to the flames of candles or lamps. He had outlived them all, but eventually he grew tired no matter how he tried night after night. One night as his star appeared he could no longer summon the energy to try to fly toward it and thought: "I will never attain that dream." Suddenly it seemed the star brightened and with a bright light a goddess appeared and took the little Relia in her hand.
"You have tried so hard, come and be with me." It is said that if you look carefully at the star, you will see another fainter star moving ever around the brighter one.
