Well, in Rho's translation 'Celestus' Means 'star'.
But do you get the connection between 'Eternal Star Wind' and 'Northern Lights Forever' ? I know....but I'd like to see if anyone else can get it too.

Star in Latin is:
Evening star - Vesper Star - Astrum Star - Sidus, stella
Anywho, it does connect. The aurora is like an eternal celestial wind. I can't really explain it, but I understand it. Argh! I hate it when my comprehension won't simplify.

^^ Yay!
The aurora is caused by solar wind hitting the charged particles at the northern and southern poles. (I don't quite remember why it's only there.)
Stars are suns. Eternal sun wind. Eternal Northern Lights. Northern Lights Forever. =)

::dons geek glasses::
The Aurora is caused by solar flares. The charged sun particles get caught is solar wind, blow towards earth, and are heavily attracted to its magnetic field (although my theory is it's attracted to the people OF the Earth, as it's really Dust XD). They enter the atmosphere, where the particles change to photons - light particles - and colors are formed by gasses in the atmosphere. Oxygen is red and green, nitrogen is blue.
'Eternal Star Wind' makes sense, though - the sun is a star, and the wind coming off of it is what causes the Northern Lights. ^^

I've never tried to collar Alla, I doubt he'd let me. He's very much a free spirit.
He's demanded that Kryii get a bell or something though. xD
*Mumbles* She keeps sneaking up on me..

*pouts* Just because some people don't pay attention means nothing! Besides, Alexei knows that if he tries to collar me, he will be down a finger or two.

Yeah Cal's really secretive about his other dog tag too. He's got one that says Calosta and then Randeras which apparently means 'my love' which is our nickname for each other. But his other dog tag, he just says that he'll let me know when I need to. Which really isn't any help t'll be worth it. You'll learn more from it than you can imagine
See! See how he toys with me! He knows I'm impatient!
Patience is a virtue m'dear
Yeah and so's my fist!
O.o

I think I've figured out what the back of Rho's other tag has on it. But I'm not sure what it means. Ashes to Ashes Dust to Dust. I asked my mom about it and she said that 'From ashes to ashes from dust to dust' is in the Bible somewhere. Only, it's not from. It's just Ashes to Ashes Dust to Dust. Can anyone think of what that might mean?

Ash to ash-dust to dust, those are lyrics from something either by led zepplin, AC/DC, or metallica, I'm not sure which though.

I know I've heard that before... I was sure that it was in the Bible. Also, there was a phrase - I could be just inventing this but I recall hearing something like, "It is from dust we are made, and unto dust we will return." There's a line in Hamlet which goes: "Alexander died, Alexander was buried, Alexander returneth into dust;".
Erm... yeah. My skills of discernment evidently aren't very useful. Whenever I've heard that phrase mentioned it has always been with the idea of the circle of creation and destruction, from birth to death.
And that's all I know. o.O

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust = usually recited at funeral sevices. o.o

"It is from dust we are made, and unto dust we will return." Oooo... dust=Dust (as in Lyra's Dust?!) Hmmm... could we be made from Dust? Edit: Yes, I know that it IS a reference to Adam and Eve being made from clay and dirt, but it's an interesting thought... Oh and this was my 100th post!! Whooo!

Actually, atheist that I am, I believe it is reference to the "fact" that adam and eve were made from clay dust.
