The Last Constellation AU

"The stars have disappeared." He told Phillip between bites of an omelette.

"They have? I didn't notice." Phillip replied. He never cared for the stars as much as Howard did, but that was alright. Howard couldn't expect a mortal like Phil to understand his homesickness.

"I'm going to search for where they've gone." He uttered. He knew Phil would worry, silly rabbit that he was, but he had made up his mind already.

Phillip paused, staring at his plate for a moment, then he nodded. "Alright, give me a bit to pack and then we'll leave."

"We?" Howard was surprised. Phil had always seemed attached to his life, not the type to go far from home.

"Yes, goodness knows what could happen to you out there on your own." He smiled.

Howard couldn't help but smile as well. "Thank you, friend. Your aid is most appreciated."

Howard stood in the field as he had every night. The cold night's wind flowed through his hair as his glow filled the area. Phillip would want him back inside soon, but there was something incredibly wrong with the sky:

The stars were gone.

He stared at the empty sky in disbelief. There was no way all the stars had been snuffed out in one night! His estranged siblings, vanished! His old home, in shambles! They must have been taken, Howard could feel it in his core.

It may have been a while since he had seen them last, and it had been a rough parting, but there was no way Howard could leave this alone. He had to find them.
