The Serpent-Bearer and the Prince of Stars: A Short Story of Demons and Starlight

A tiresome task.

A deceptive dragon.

A prince that changes everything.


Ophiuchus is a celebrated warrior of the Celestial Kingdom and a warrior among the Stars. He has been always been a dutiful servant of the Prince of Stars. So when the prince asks him to watch over the crafty serpent, Naga, Ophiuchus agrees. But as time passes and discouragement—both from Naga and others—Ophiuchus wonders if the Prince of Stars was right in asking him to take on the burdens of his task.


Will Ophiuchus honor his duty, or give into his heart's weariness?
