Stars keep Amazed bright. The Amazed live in towers with spiral staircases. The Amazed sheep graze on luminous grass in a velvet pasture. In the daytime, the pastures look pale blue. The Amazed make vases, ornaments, and jewelry from starlight.
“These are precious gifts,” says the Guide.
The Amazed wear soft robes of silver.
Once a year they line up in silver gradients from palest to the darkest and walk in waves. They sing star songs.
“Any one who sees The Ceremony of the Amazed cannot forget it,” says Miss Emeline.
“Nor properly describe it to anyone who wasn’t there,” adds Miss Doe Friend.
Inside Amazed lies the bright star Rejuvenated. The Rejuvenated have huge eyes which take in little light and soft skin and hands.
Even the adults look like newborns. They swim in deep star pools and drink the dew that falls from starflowers. They dance slow, light, step dances and softly sing.
“Many wish to visit, but Rejunventated accepts few travelers,” says the Guide.
The Rejuvenated are star-conscious and protective of their delicate land of starlight and slowly replenishing starwater and star nectar and star fruit. Star blossoms fill the land and float in the water and a star scent drifts over the star hills and down the star waterfalls.
