THE SWIMMER OF THE STARS
If you look towards the eastern hemisphere in the depths of a hot summer night, you may see the constellation of the swimmer of the stars, of which is comprised of several bunches of stars to form the shape of a giant beta fish. On cloudy nights it can be hard to see, but rumors state that it's easier to see if you ever feel alone- although these are, of course, just rumors.
The myths surrounding the constellation tell of a powerful, yet lonely spirit of the cosmos who wandered across many universes to try and find company. No matter how far he crossed, nor wherever he went, he found nothing but darkness- and for that, he cried great tears of sorrow, of which trailed behind him as he kept up his journey. From one tear to two to many, his tears became galaxies of stars, a trail of breadcrumbs behind his search for companionship.
One day, after almost an eternity of searching, he had finally given up- 'I've tried so hard, and yet, this may have all been for naught,' he sighed, voice wracked with fatigue and grief. Yet more tears dropped down his face as he finally accepted his fate- until he heard a chorus of voices, and for the first time in eons, he turned around to see an entire sea of stars that he left behind.
'You aren't alone,' said the stars that had formed from his tears: 'all this time, you never looked back, but we were always behind you, cheering you on. Thanks to you, the sky is more full of light and love for everyone down to look upon.'
Now, tears fell from his eyes, but after aeons of these tears being made of sorrow, they were of happiness. And so, the legends say that the star swimmer continues to weep in the skies, but out of love, happiness, and joy, of which he hopes to spread to the many worlds that lie beneath his sea of stars.
While the purpose for this myth varies from storyteller to storyteller, with some intending for it to be a creation myth, some just telling it as a fable, one thing is always clear: that no matter how dark it seems, you are never alone- and there is someone out there who loves you.
