SWEET!
I guess I'll resume posting then. No more laziness, at least not as much. This time I'm going to do things how I originally planned to do them and focus on smaller stories, for the mean time at least. Say good night to the strange world of magical brothers. Time for some fun!
I guess I better share a story then, eh? Here goes:
George stared at thousands of stars in the sky. It wasn't night. Not even dark out. He scratched the stubble on his chin and said, "Huh."
-----
On the other side of the world,five miles below the surface, Somi fell to her hands and knees. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. The sea of glass, not fifty feet from her, was pocked with countless lights from below.
"Radrus!" She yelled, not looking away from the spectacle. She slowly approached the edge of stone that ended ten feet above the ocean.
"What is going on?" Radrus said breathlessly, joining her at the ledge.
"Something new." She answered, turning to face her brother. Her eyes lit up as she grinned. "Something that hasn't been written."
-----
George sat behind his desk and stared at his computer screen. He ignored beeps coming from his networking application and scanned the database in his labs remotely. Nobody had seen this coming. There were no records of speculation of stars growing bright enough to decorate the clear blue atmosphere at lunch time.
Something like this was unheard of, unimaginable. He didn't believe it at first, even though he could see it with his own eyes and through telescopes, which turned out to be a very bad idea. He let the computers take pictures for him instead. His eyes still ached, and he hadn't even turned up the magnification.
He leaned rolled his chair closer to the window while remaining seated and leaned on the window sill. He looked up at the impossibility. From Earth's perspective, it covered approximately twenty four percent of the sky. From his little section of the world, it looked more like ninety percent. There was a little wedge to the East where the sky was just blue and clear. Normal.

Somi drove ahead of Radrus. Both were on track bikes. The dual tread belts in front had studs that would help grip the uneven surfaces that were so prevalent in the caverns and tunnels. A single wheel in the back rolled free and only served as a brake.
Somi checked the guage for energy. It was half full. She would have enough to reach her destination and make the return trip twice over if need be. She looked over her shoulder and saw her brother not far behind. He nodded to the left.
