美麗的彗星姊妹居住在宇宙陰冷的遠方,每隔一定時間,她們都會派遣其中一位造訪太陽和地球,並在人類面前展現其最漂亮的一面。她的臉龐變得異常亮麗,秀髮在陽光下閃爍生輝,並且延綿千里。可惜時光荏苒,這種人與彗星的浪漫漸被新一代的人類淡忘,有些人甚至把降臨他們頭上的天災、橫禍與戰亂歸咎於彗星姊妹的來臨。
彗星姊妹非常傷心,決定從此不再造訪地球,斷絕與人類的交往,若有一天當人類欲延續她們過往的交情,就須親身造訪,在廣闊浩瀚的宇宙尋找其芳蹤,以顯誠意,亦只有如此,人類才能再續那星空下的約會,重溫那被遺忘已久的開天闢地傳說。
The Legend of the Comets
The Comet Sisters lived in the cold, outer regions of space and each one had a chosen time to make her journey towards the Earth and the Sun. The villagers of the Earth looked forward to this because the Comet Sister would always put on her finest appearance for them. Her face would glow and her hair would grow in long streaming strands behind her. Now it came to pass that the newer generations did not have the same love for the Comet Sisters. When disasters came, they put the blame on the Comet Sisters.
The Comet Sisters were saddened and decided to never again come to the Earth. If the villagers wanted a relationship with them, they must search for them in space. And only then, would they renew their friendship. And only then, would the villagers find the secret stories about the beginning of time. ■甄枝強 資深天文愛好者
