In the quiet mountain town of Elara’s Peak, lived a girl named Lyra who believed stars could talk. While everyone dismissed it as childish nonsense, Lyra would climb onto her roof each night, whispering her secrets to the glittering sky.
Unknown to all, she wasn’t imagining it.
Every star in the night sky was a Guardian—ancient beings who watched over the universe. Lyra, with her pure heart and untamed wonder, was the only human who could hear their faint voices. One evening, as a comet painted the sky silver, Lyra heard a trembling star whisper:
“We’re fading… Someone is stealing the starlight.”
Over the next days, the night sky dimmed. The town noticed the change but had no answers. Lyra, however, climbed higher—up the forbidden peak—where air was thin and sky felt closer. There, in the stillness, she saw it: a shadow with hands of void capturing starlight in glass spheres.
Terrified but determined, she whispered a lullaby her grandmother taught her—an ancient tune once sung by Skykind. The shadow hissed, weakened by the melody of memory and love. As Lyra sang, stars brightened and shattered their prisons.
The sky lit up in a brilliant blaze. The stars, grateful, gifted Lyra a final whisper:
“You will never be forgotten among us, Starwhisperer.”
From that day on, Lyra’s name shimmered in the stars, and children in Elara’s Peak still climb rooftops, whispering to the night, hoping the stars might answer.
