Chapter Text
“What are those lights in the sky mummy?”
Marco Polo asks his mother as he stares wide eyed into the night sky. He looks to his side and sees his mother smiling back at him.
“They are stars Marco, angels in the sky leading us to where we are destined to go.”
Marco smiles brightly at his mother.
“Does that mean they will lead me to my one?”
“Yes it does. You will become just like your father and explore the world, for the script of your words are written differently to that of our people”
Marco looks down for a moment. He moves his hand until it rests on the rough writing on his shoulder, his soul mark. Scrunches up his nose and tries to think. He then asks his mother,
“But where are they from then?”
She smiles and looks up at the sky sighing. She then points to the sky and asks Marco,
“What do you see?”
He follows where she is pointing and answers,
“The constellation of The Three Sisters”
“Correct Marco, you are an explorer much like your father, so one day you will leave me. You will leave and find your one somewhere out there. Once you find them you must hold onto them and protect them with all your heart and soul. But if ever you feel lost just look to the stars and find The Three Sisters. Follow her and she will lead you back to me.”
Marco smiled brightly at his mother and she smiled down at him.
“You really think I will find my one?” He asks.
Embracing him in a hug she whispers to him “Yes, I know you will”.
So Marco breaks away from his mother's hug and looks to the stars with a bright smile on his face.
“One day I will meet my one and I will love them forever” He whispers before leaning on his mother, slowly closing his eyes and falling into a peaceful sleep.
