From where came the fool?

The Beast of Stars and the Red Star
Long ago, there existed a place called "The River of the Sky." Deep within the night sky, where stars drifted like mist, a mythical beast roamed - its name was Sileos.

Sileos, a creature made of stars, was known as the Guardian of Wisdom. It was said that anyone who asked it a question would be granted one truth of the universe.

One night, a boy looked up from the earth and asked:

"Why is no one truly happy?"

His words reached the River of the Sky. The mist of stars shimmered, and a red star pulsed to life, beating like a heart on Sileos's chest. For the first time, the beast descended to earth.

But the people were afraid.
"A monster!" they cried.
Some raised spears.
Some prayed.
Some just stared in silence.

Only the boy stood still and asked:

"Did you come to answer my question?"

Sileos said nothing. The red star in its chest merely pulsed with light, as if breathing.

Then, among the fearful crowd, a "fool" appeared.

He said:

"I thought I heard the voice of the stars."

The people laughed at him. But the boy whispered:

"From where came the fool?"

The sky stirred.

Stars began to fall one by one, returning to the River of the Sky.
The red star dimmed, then vanished.

Only the boy and the fool remained.

And together, they set off -
to seek the voice of the stars that only fools could hear.
