The Melting Horn: How The Stars Were Created

The moon shone bright as a pod of whales passed beneath it. They made their obscure whale call, signaling that they needed to go up for air. 

Many years ago, those whales had horns, like the ones that unicorns have. This pod was exceptional, their horns were wider than any other pods horns. Their horns and the unicorn horns were exactly the same, except the whale’s horns glowed. 

It just so happened that the horns were right above their blowholes, meaning that the water was trapped, and couldn’t get out. Since the water can’t not come out, the horns started to deliquesce. As the glowing horns melted, the shards flew up into the night sky. 

From that day on, the horns got named stars as they rose with the moon each night. As whales later evolved, the other pods horns also dissipated, meaning that whales no longer had their sparkling spikes, only their memories remained.
