Pepper Faye & The Secret of the Starborn

By: Pepper Carlson-Humphrey

For the cosmic-hearted, the in-between dwellers, the ones who’ve always felt like more.

One night, under a sky that felt unusually alive, Pepper Faye hears a call with every piece of her soul.

Led by a silver fox and a letter sealed with starlight, she follows a trail of memory to a hidden observatory in the Forest Between. There, ancient stones pulse with stories long forgotten, and the stars begin to speak.

They don’t give her a quest. They give her a truth: You’ve always belonged. You’ve just been trying to remember.

This is a story for those who’ve felt too sensitive, too strange, too vast for the noise of this world.
It’s about origins that don’t fit into ordinary timelines.
About feeling other and realizing that “other” is sacred.

Through whispered constellations and glimmers of soul-deep knowing, Pepper discovers she is Starborn.
Not from another place, but from a different way of being. Not separate from the world, but a bridge between.

If you’ve ever looked up at the sky and ached without knowing why, this story is your echo.

You haven’t imagined it.
You’ve remembered it.
