Worry

Ning observed the phenomenon with his own eyes on 5 different occasions, and through other means for a total of 12 times in the last 5 years.

Each time, the phenomenon lasted for maybe 5 seconds at most, but in those 5 seconds, it looked as though stars had suddenly formed in the sky and vanished just the same.

Ning prepared for the worst, but nothing bad really happened any of the time at all. Nothing really happened in all 5 years.

"What does it really mean, Ning?" Ely asked as she stood next to Ning. "Should we be worried?"

"I don't know," Ning said. "I have no idea why stars would form out of nowhere in the sky. Should I take the ship to go see it up clo—"

"No!" Ely said. "If it's something bad, you won't be able to survive. You are mortal now, remember? What if it's that Galactic Will Bayrus trying to force its way in."
