Exalt and provenance

According to legend, she says, we all come from dust. At first there was nothing: no universe, no planets, no life. Then one day, the nothingness got bored, and it exploded, and there was dust. The bits of dust got lonely, so they clumped together, and they served as the foundation of all of us. They became moons and asteroids, and they began to fly around the nothingness, which with dust in it became space. Occasionally these groups of dust would collide, crashing into each other and bursting into flames. That is how you and I came to be. We are stars. We burn brightly because of the dust we once were. We may be revered by others, but we ourselves are humble. We know our origins, and we praise them. To dust and nothingness, from whence we all came.
