Constellation? What's that? Rael tilted his head. Explain it to me like I'm a toddler.
[Very well...] Gaia sighed. [Imagine you have ten toys, and then—]
Not literally, Rael cut her off, inwardly facepalming. Just tell me what it is.
Gaia giggled, then began explaining. [A constellation is essentially the start of godhood. Many are given the chance to become a constellation after they reach Grade 6. That's because Grade 6 is the base level for gods, but that doesn't mean they can become constellations. It's a more thorough process than you might expect.]
Yeah, that seems simple enough, so why the special title? Rael asked. A constellation is like, what, a star system?
[Yes and no. A constellation is a being whose existence represents something. Whether it's a story, a myth, or even an ideal. Mortals perceive constellations as figures in the night sky. Their power grows from recognition, worship, and the fact that they're seen as guiding lights,] Gaia replied patiently.
