The village's discomfort became full-blown panic when they went missing, and no one spoke about them right away. There was no search party in the fog. There was never a search party. Clara, who was twenty and had grown tough from living in the city and being an orphan, had come back not because she wanted to, but because she had to.

She looked at the stars from her observatory pod, not as a stargazer who was happy with how they looked, but as a dreamer who wanted to know why people had come so far yet were afraid to go farther.

He constantly admonished her not to dig up data without permission. Lyra, on the other hand, was able to get over boundaries and see restricted records because of her custom-coded neural sleeve.

As the kids started making up tales of their own, coming up with new shapes for the light sprouts, and bringing excitement and pleasure to the square, laughter broke out.

She sewed seeds of enchantment under benches, in quiet alleys, and next to secret gardens, transforming everyday locations into imaginative play areas when kids engaged with them.

She dreamt of soaring, of brilliant flowers, and of making new friends in the sun. She could feel herself shifting deep below, slowly but definitely, into something new and magnificent. Then, one morning, the first light of day came through the leaves and touched the fragile cocoon. Bella felt something move within her. She broke away from her velvety nest with a tiny wriggle and a delicate push. The world seemed different now, more colorful and vibrant.

Lollipops shone like fruit, muffins opened up like flowers, and streams tasted like chocolate or orange, depending on the day. Wishes shaped houses: one youngster wanted a tree-house that reached far into the sky, another wanted a cottage that looked like a gigantic shoe, and another wanted a castle with candy walls and windows made of translucent sugar that caught the sun. The terrain responded to kids as flowers listen to the rain; therefore, nothing was impossible here. The more they believed, the more the world reacted.

The silver light that had been flowing freely between the branches became softer and less bright as they walked, and the light surrounding them got darker. Lian could see that the Lumerin's brightness was fading, even though it tried hard to stay bright. Its wings twitched as if it were experiencing the burden of the losing force.
