In the Northernmost territory of planet Fistbump the Sky, Juno Altair, head librarian of the Interstellar Observatory, has noticed that the number of stars has been declining. Determined to find the reason, Juno reaches out to an old friend.
Far beyond the territorial borders, Obumbu, the Map Maker, has decided to die. However, news of a war against the god seeds forces them to postpone their farewell.
Your responses are as slow as ever, old friend. I have reached the mountains and will be arriving soon with the completed picture. I look forward to trying your homemade starballs. Less sweet this time, if you can.
