"We're all going to die, you know?"
Except Uyuniya, no one was surprised to hear Kintar say this.
"What?" the terrestrial princess said, frowning.
"Oh, not you, your Highness." Kintar curtsied and smiled. "I'm referring to those of my ilk here – the clowns who were stars, like me."
"What brought this on, Kintar?" Kenno said, sighing. "Deadmanland?"
"Where else?" Kintar floated up and rested her chubby arms behind her head. Her mirth vanished. "We all fought hard on Aigas because we wanted to die at the right time, right?"
No one answered the question. Solemn faces met Kintar's eyes. They all agreed.
The primary purpose of the Unlimited Stars, no, the Stark Soul Order, was to help Skullius reach Deadmanland and retrieve his soul. If they were to die, they were supposed to die after they had accomplished that.
