The Path Woven by Starlight | A Road That Appears Once Every Hundred Years

The path appeared only once every hundred years. There was no road leading to it, no sign marking where it began. When the longest night arrived, the stars simply descended toward the earth, one after another, until a silver trail stretched beyond the mountains. The old stories gave only one warning: Never turn around once you begin. I followed it alone. With every step, the world behind me grew quieter. The path carried me through places that could not possibly belong to the same world, forests beneath unfamiliar moons, ruined cities suspended above clouds, fields where thousands of tiny lights slept beneath the grass. Along the way, I began hearing voices. People I had lost. They called my name from somewhere behind me. Some laughed exactly as I remembered them. Some begged me to come back. Still, I kept walking. At dawn, the path ended at the edge of an enormous black sea. Someone was waiting there. An old woman. She looked at me for a long time before smiling. “You made it again,” she said. Again? She pointed toward the water. Beneath its surface were countless silver paths, crossing one another like threads. And suddenly I remembered. I had walked this road before. Hundreds of times. Different names. Different faces. Different lives. But always toward the same place. The stars had never been showing me where to go. They were showing me the way back.
