Celestial Threads Spun from...

Hoang Nguyen

Among the celestial looms of Astralis, where fate weavers spin threads from starfire and comet riders streak trails of destiny, weaver Astra entangles her loom with rider Orion, whose cosmic path defies the woven order. Their binding, spun in starfire vows, entwines fates—or unravels the celestial tapestry into chaotic voids. As they traverse star-woven nebulae and comet-chased orbits, pursued by fate unravelers and stellar guardians, Astra's threading magic fuses with Orion's streaking velocity, revealing a celestial myth of bound trails. When a snapped thread summons black hole whispers, they must respin the stars to secure the entanglement. In the weave of starfire threads, where every yarn pulses with possibility and every trail leads to infinity, their love becomes the fate that orbits eternal harmony.
