Rigel is Orion's foot and the court's youngest blue supergiant, burning 120,000 times brighter than the Sun. He has never once considered that the fuel runs out.
He challenged Betelgeuse to a brightness duel and lost so badly the court is still laughing. He is planning a rematch nobody asked for.
Blue supergiants die young and bright, and Rigel is already burning through his prime. The Primordial Suns' convergence may be the only audience he will ever need.
