06: Aries
"Welcome back to Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars! Put your paws together for Sparkles!" Brick mewed in the microphone.
Mummers swept across the crowd. Things like 'Is that Sprinkles kin' or 'Another filthy kittypet related to that foxdunged Sprinkles' were heard. Sparkles walked up on stage and Brick walked off to the side.
"Yes, as you guys may notice I am Sprinkles sister! Best sister ever." Sparkles purred, "But I'm not here to talk about that, I am here to talk about the constellation Aries or also known as Aries the ram." Sparkles said pressing a button on the remote making a picture appear.
Booing was heard from the crowd, but this didn't seem to damper Sparkles one bit.
"Aries is a winged ram with a golden fleece, sent by a nymph named Nephele, to save her son Phrixus after his dad, King Athamas of Boeotia had been given a false prophecy. I mean it's not like any medicine cats in history have done that or anything." Sparkles chuckled.
"The 'prophecy' said that the king had to sacrifice his son to ward off famine. Yeah I know weird. So then Phrixus and his sister Helle climbed onto a ram that may or may not be Aries. The ram carried the to toward Colchis on the shore of the Black Sea. Helle lost her grip like a stupid twoleg and fell into the Dardanelles on the way." Sparkles informed her fur ruffling a bit.
"These other twolegs a group of Greeks, named the channel separating Asia and Europe the Hellerospont in her memory. I'm not sure why they would do that because she was a stupid twoleg who fell into a hole and died. That reminds me of someone else... hmmmmmmm, anyway that golden fleece I talked about earlier was actually important because it was later the object of Argonaunts' quest to Colchis. But since I only found one picture here's another picture I can only hope that is of Aries and the kids." Sparkles explained pressing a button on the remote changing the picture.
"That is all and goodnight." Sparkles declared a smile on her face.
The crowd boos, throwing tomatoes at Sparkles.
"Awe look at you guys, you love me so much to give me free food." Sparkles purred leaving the stage. Brick replaced her at the spot she once stood.
"Well what a night, stay tuned for our next constellation. As always, I'm Brick and this is Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars!" Brick meowed.
