"Greetings, Rescreatians. It brings great delight to an old man to bring you some incredible news.The Comet Festival, celebrating the passing overhead of Loyna's Light across Scria's atmosphere is almost upon us, and in the midst of it all an extraordinary discovery has been made! Allow me to introduce Perry and Astra, our resident astronomers."
"Ah! Hello! Yes, my um. My name is Perry and... and this here is Astra! Hehe, Astra stop jumping around, please. You've done enough damage as it i- Astra please! Faheem, I am so sorry about earlier. She has been acting so strangely recently."
"No need, young astronomer; I should be thanking you! Rescreatians, an unprecedented discovery has been made thanks to Astra and Perry. I have carried out extensive research into the properties of the rare and valuable gold stardust, but alas, my studies had hit a barrier. I invited Perry and Astra into my lab to see my work on this elusive substance. Astra became extremely excited in the presence of the gold stardust, and underwent an uncontrollable physical change in form that seemed to tear through our world and into the void of space! "
"Again, I really am... really sorry..."
"Nonsense, young one! Even though this volatile reaction caused Astra to break several of the bottles and phials lining my laboratory, we've discovered something for the first time! When she became covered in a myriad of salts and ingredients, a cosmic radiance overtook her unlike conventional light from any of the four planets. For a single, glorious moment I was allowed sight for a brief moment! I was granted a new form of vision for the duration of the regrettably temporary effect. There is much more to the Myth of the Cosmic Effect than I ever imagined. The old tales are just the beginning! "
"Now you all realize why I brought this to your attention. Oh, what a spectacle it was! Perry also has a surprise for all of you fine folk. Perry? Would you do the honors?"
"Oh! Sure. Though I didn't prepare a speech. Ahem- anyways. Well, preparations for the Comet Festival will be underway in a few days! Astra and I are keeping a close eye on the distance between us and the comet, and will keep you posted when we find out the exact dates it will be arriving. It will be quite an event, and I have gifts so that everyone is able to fully enjoy the majesty of the comet each day it is visible in the Scrian skies! It's been a long time dream for me to witness such a sight!"
"Lastly, I'd like to chime in and mention if anyone is interested in reading a detailed account of my discoveries on Gold Stardust, I have written a book of my experience! It's called 'Gold Stardust and the Cyid' and being sold at Book Bargains!"
