17: Cassiopeia
Brick happily trots onto the stage, sitting down on his haunches.
"Hello, hello! And welcome back to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars! I'm your host, the one and only Brick!"
He takes a graceful bow, eyes glistening with eagerness. Brick's posture straightens, and his tail curls neatly around his paws.
"So, let's get down to business. I introduce you, Raven!"
A short black she-cat walks out onto the stage, looking out at the crowd. Her mouth gapes open in anticipation, as she takes her place next to the tom, as he nods approvingly.
She started up softly, but gradually got louder. "So, today we will be talking about a new constellation... Cassiopeia!" she exclaimed.
"Cassiopeia is named after a queen named Cassiopeia!" she reported, tail twitching. "She is married to Cepheus, who I'm assuming is a king, and she is also a mother of Andromeda, who is probably a princess."
She looked around, pupils dilating, and spoke faster. "Cassiopeia thought she was much more beautiful then the Nerieds, and soon these creatures called nymphs asked Poseidon to punish this queen," she mewed hastily. "He sent a sea monster to go and punish her, because I'm guessing he was a bit too lazy!" the she-cat chuckled. "Then the king sacrificed his own daughter, to go and save his wife."
Then she perked her ears, biting her lip. "Oh, I almost forgot! In case you were wondering, this is what the constellation looks like..." she presses a button gently with her black paw, and a picture appears on the screen.
Murmuring of 'ohs and ahs' can be heard, as the audience of cats stare bright-eyed at the celestial picture.
She then sighed, chest heaving. "They chained her to a rock, where she was supposedly going to be killed, but she was later saved by Perseus. The king and queen were banished to be left in the sky." Her dark green gaze darkened. "And Cassiopeia spends six moons every four seasons (year), upside down in the sky for her wretched bragging."
Raven then looked up, tail flicking happily.
Brick nodded, giving her a proud gaze. "There you have it, cats, Raven reporting about Cassiopeia. I hope you enjoyed this day's constellation!" he bounded lithely off the stage, pelted by Raven.
