#itempas

not black holes; that does naha a disservice and ignores that they were the first.

naha is just. the space that Space occupies.

maybe switch the caps

and tempa is the stars that formed from the chaotic gas clouds

and enefa was the first planets-- rocky, lifeless, cold, forever flirting between sundeath and the void; between a blazing and cooked ball of rock, and drifting as an icy asteroid

eventually she flung from orbit and became an exoplanet, unable to balance herself in her steady rotations, leaving the suns' systems in wack.

when her unsteady orbit came into contact with her stars, again, she crashed

she hadnt expected the pebbles circling the star to change its--*his* orbit. she hadnt accounted for the lack of her presence in the system, how gravity would cope

how the orbits would change

how mass matters but proximity squared can drown out the largest things if they are far away

how stars change much more slowly than planets, but they do change

so. enefa burned. and life returned to what it had been before ground

except

except--

there was still the gas clouds tempa was born from, the space of naha where anything wasn't, and- and- and-

asteroids and meteors and comets and all the little gusts of momentum enefa had left around

and the void's rage at the violence of the star

and the heat of the sun always comsuming *things* and shedding *things* and radiating and

well

maybe this is a bad analogy, huh? in this, the stars change but the void doesn't.

maybe the void shouldn't be the nothing, it should be the *movement*. With no planets, a sun doesn't move. however, it is susceptible to smaller movements from smaller bodies if a large planet is out of the picture.

and suns-- well, all movement is relative, and when youre the heaviest thing around you're being orbited. so, what are you moving relative to?

so. back to the story

there was still inertia, gusts of movement rippling through: whispers of enefa. her gifts

black holes and asteroid belts anf small oddities between

but. with the void angry at the stars, the stars' small shifter struck. did something unimagineable

the clever little thing had been darting around, and every other thing was in perfect orbit around the sun

nothing interacted, nothing adjusted; perfect circular orbits in a single plane

all of them with constant velocity, constant *angular* velocity

an unknown phenomenon. relative eachother, all was still for a time.

by the time that time was over, all the asteroids had become nearly spherical. the issue?

that sun needed fuel. It could not live without consumig gasses, and it could not consume while stationary unless the gas came to him (which, in this too-still world, it did not)

so he set himself up for failure; tiltef a smidge to the left and let the electromagnetic disturbance fix the rest.

not really. that was the last gust of movement enefa had left, echoing its way across the universe. it bumped an asteroid against another, and those two tumbled in passion into another, and on it went. how could the star stop this?

he couldnt, from the lofty perch his shifter had put him on before sacrificing herself into his flames.
