"I could say the same of you," Celeste smirked, taking Mary's hand in hers gently.

"Well you're a god and we know gods are the most beautiful people out there." She didn't move to get her hand out of the hold and instead let it relax.

"Well I say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this beholder says you're much more beautiful than me." Celeste smiled, rubbing her thumb along Mary's hand.

"Well, I have a straight fact for you." She took in a deep breath. "Your are the prettiest and kindest woman I have ever met."

"Aw, thank you!" Celeste smiled enjoying holding Mary. Unfortunately, it was not to last. A star flew into the room, hovering in front of Celeste and Mary. Celeste pursed her lips when she saw it.

Mary turned her full attention to the star, eyes wide with intrest. "What's this?"

"This," Celeste said, begrudgingly letting go of Mary and standing, "is a sign. It means I have to go perform one of my tasks as Goddess." She cupped the star in one hand, holding it.
"You can come if you want to, but you don't have to."

Mary followed suit in standing up, watching the light in the goddess's hand for a moment before grabbing her other and speaking. "I'd like to come."

Celeste smiled down at Mary, holding her hand tenderly.
"Then let's go." She led Mary out of the room, going further down the hall. She seemed in a hurry, and she was half tempted to just pick Mary up and carry her, but she refrained.

Mary held on tightly, though this place was amazing, it was still new and scary. She noticed that Celeste was in a hurry so she tried to walk faster to keep up with the goddess.

Realizing that at this pace they wouldn't reach where they needed to be on time, Celeste paused for a moment, scooping Mary up in one arm.
"Sorry for the suddenness, but we can't really be late for this," she apologized.

Mary's face went hot and bright red that was more of a ruby than any gem. "It's- It's alright." She stuttered out, her only thoughts were: Strong, hot lady carrying me.

With that, Celeste started down the hall again, careful to hold Mary gently as they went farther and farther. Finally, she stopped in front of a dark black door. It looked charred in places.

Mary cocked her head at the door, face still red. "Why's the door burnt in places?" She asked softly.

"This is where I meet with the Underground gods," Celeste said calmly, the star in her hand shivering slightly at the mention of the Underground.

"Oh dear, I'm guessing some of them got angry at you?" She muttered as she looked at the door. "Am I able to hold the star? It looks afraid."

"It was a long time ago." Celeste held her hand towards Mary. The star floated towards Mary's hand; it seemed the star wanted to be held.

Mary let the star float into her hand, letting the other go of Celeste's hand to pet the star with the now empty hand. "You're all right." She whispered to the star.

The star seemed to calm down with Mary's touch. Celeste raised an eyebrow.
"You're very good with stars," she noted. She quietly set Mary down, then, and opened the door.

"I mean, they're like kids and I used to babysit the kids back in the village when the mothers were working." She shrugged.

Celeste smiled.
"You're going to be really nice having you around," she said before stepping into the room and falling silent. It was dark; the only light there coming from Celeste and the star in Mary's hands. The star shivered again.

"Shh, it's okay little starlight." She murmured, petting the star with a concerned look.
