From RocksfallWiki
The Princess-Imperial sat on her balcony, watching the stars go out. It was her tenth birthday. Later, Mama and the Empress would have a party for her. But for now, she wanted to hear the voices. Usually they were too whispery, but once in a while, they came through clear as a cloudless night.
… th…one…
She strained to pick out words, any words.
…theonée…
She settled, stilling her fears. Yes?
the stars, theonée
Yes.
you are brighter than any of them
I am?
you carry their light within you… soon, child, we will shine together
She gave a wordless affirmation.
