THE CHILDREN KNEW THAT EVEN THOUGH their love would
sustain them...
...Their world would continue to age and would
eventually  breathe its last breath.
as their long days of peace ended, they found they had no choice.
HAND IN hand in hand in hand, they made aN oath to each other.
they would have to say goodbye
to their dear mother world.
Even though they leave their
mother, they would never EVER
leave each other.
EMPOWERED by their PROMISE
to never part...
...AND their hope of finding a new
blue world, they departed.
ALAS, promises, no matter how deeply heartfelt, are fragile things.
AND even though they had endured so very much time and space...  
...and even though they finally neared a world almost as blue as their
own...
FALLING to their final sky...
...they knew they could not survive.  
so they used the last of their strength...  
...to make one final promise.
"although we scatter and die..."
"...we will someday be reunited."
...their voyage was simply too long and cruel and exhausting.
