Awakening from the Dream

Part 15

The light faded into blackness, and the celestial bodies found themselves enveloped in darkness. Then, they heard the voices calling out to Solara, their cries growing louder and more urgent. Slowly, Solara's angelic form began to fade away, and she let out a faint gasp. Her eyes fluttered open, and she found herself surrounded by her celestial body friends, their concerned faces peering down at her. "Solara, you're awake!" Earth exclaimed, relief washing over her features. "We were so worried about you." Solara's gaze swept over the faces of her friends, and she tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her, forcing her to lie back down. "What... what happened?" she asked, her voice weak. Jupiter helped her sit up, supporting her back with his arm. "You passed out, Solara. You had a high fever, and you were hallucinating. You were having a strange dream." Solara's eyes widened, and she looked at her friends, her expression serious. "The dream," she began, her voice barely above a whisper. "I fell ill, and I became a red giant. Jupiter and Saturn... they sacrificed themselves to save us. They expelled their gravity, giving us a chance to survive." The celestial bodies gasped in unison, their faces pale with shock. Titan's eyes welled up with tears, and he reached out, embracing Solara in a tight hug. "No, Solara, that won't happen to you," he whispered, his voice trembling. "You'll never fall ill, explode, and die. Not for a few more billion years, at least." The other celestial bodies quickly joined in, surrounding Solara with hugs and words of reassurance. "You're safe, Solara," Venus said, her voice filled with conviction. "We're here for you, and we'll always be here to support you." Solara's eyes filled with happy tears, and she smiled, feeling grateful for her friends. She knew that she was lucky to have them by her side, and she was overwhelmed with love and appreciation for their presence in her life. As she hugged her friends back, Solara felt a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that she was not alone, that she was always with them, for life to come. And in that moment, she realized that even in her darkest moments, she could count on her celestial body friends to be there for her, to support her, and to love her unconditionally.
