touch the walls. He was larger than the night sky, and yet he did not scatter the stars. Then he vanished from sight, and the note of a trumpet rang out overhead, traveling from the west to the east.
Thomas blinked, seeing only the museum room around him again, dark and solid. He raised his hand. The book, fell open to a certain page and he knew it was the correct one. He found the diagrams in an appendix in the back of the volume, with images of zones and tropics and belts of constellations, and the Latin was easy enough for him to puzzle out. He spoke the words and used the key, and a shining doorway, surrounded with stars, appeared wide-open before him, and the music of the stars poured out from it, dreamlike, terrifying, and wondrous.
The newly-anointed Wise Old Man, who felt much too young for the task and not very wise at all, squared his shoulders and strode forth into the doorway, his eyes upon a solitary shining star.
Without a backward glance, he left Earth and childhood behind.
