There was a moment of clarity. Sebastian saw stars, star clusters, and planets.  He remembered the phrase from Talbot Estus’ playbook, The Queen and the Stranger.  “Twin suns?” thought Sebastian. “It has to be a binary star…”Sebastian scanned the infinite horizon and was rewarded with a glimpse of twin stars amidst a patch of black.And then he intentionally misstepped. He was leaving Arcanis behind; it couldn’t be reached any longer.  The King seemed aware of that fact, but he did not react.  They walked on together in silence until a cluster of stars was visible. Red Aldebaran was at its center, and then lovely Carcosa sitting beside a lake of clouds and water.  Twin suns sat in the sky.  The King spread his arm out to encompass the place.  “You are the unluckiest of souls.  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”</blockquote>
