In the heart of the ancient forest, life pulsed with an unseen force. Everything seemed still, yet it was alive. The leaves moved gently as if whispering secrets, the roots of trees stretched through the earth like veins, and the nearby river mirrored the sky like a sheet of liquid glass.
Kora, a girl who loved nature more than any person she had ever met, walked among the trees with wide, wonder-filled eyes. Her dark hair fell over her shoulders, swaying with the wind, while she looked at everything around her with sincere emotion.
Kora wasn't an ordinary girl. She was full of curiosity and a deep desire to explore. Since her childhood, she had been drawn to strange experiences. She never hesitated to touch small creatures or approach things others feared. She had a passion for understanding everything, even if it led her into danger.
Sometimes, her neighbors laughed at her strange habits, like dancing with lizards. But those who truly knew her saw the kindness and purity in her heart. She lived with a sharp sense of beauty, as if nature were a living being speaking only to her.
That day, her heart was filled with a mysterious feeling. Something inside her whispered that the forest was hiding a secret she had yet to uncover. The sky was covered with a thin layer of mist, and sunlight slipped through the branches, painting soft colors on her face like a canvas created by an artist from another world.
As she walked, she noticed something shining in the distance. She focused her gaze and saw a soft blue glow weaving through the trees. This light was unlike anything she had ever seen.
She moved closer with careful steps, her hands trembling slightly. The light grew clearer as she approached a massive tree with roots twisted like giant arms. Right in front of the trunk, she saw the glow. It was a circle of pure light, moving slowly, as if it were alive and breathing.
In that moment, memories from her childhood returned. She remembered sleeping under trees on warm nights, feeling like the stars were watching her and smiling. She remembered dipping her hands in the little river, imagining it carried secrets from distant lands.
She smiled to herself and whispered softly
"Looks like a star came to visit."
She reached out to touch the glow. As her fingers neared it, a strange heat spread through her, like the warmth of fire. The moment she touched it, the blue light rushed into her body. She couldn't scream, but her eyes opened wide. She felt her heart expanding as if she was becoming something much greater than herself.
Her body rose into the air and began to dissolve into tiny particles of light. Her hair floated with the wind, and her face softened with peace, as if she had always known this was her fate. In an instant, she disappeared.
Only three glowing orbs remained, spinning gently above the ground.
They looked like pieces of the sky. One blue, one green, and one white. Slowly, each orb began to take human shape.
The green orb formed first. A young girl appeared with hair as green as wild grass and eyes the color of forests after rain.
Then came the white orb, forming a girl who looked like a blank page. Her eyes were clear and empty, staring at the world without understanding, yet filled with a deep sense of belonging.
Last was the blue orb, which became a third girl with a strong gaze and stars reflected in her eyes.
The forest around them seemed to pulse with life, as if welcoming them into existence.
The white one spoke in a shaky voice
"Wh... where am I?"
The blue one stared at them both with fear and worry in her eyes.
The green one looked like she was in pain. She was sweating and holding her head tightly. With difficulty, she said
"It... doesn't m...matter. What matters is finding out where... we are."
The white one asked in concern
"But... are you okay?"
Suddenly, the trees began to move. The rustling of leaves sounded like words. The ground trembled lightly, and the grass grew taller.
The green girl screamed. Her eyes turned white, and she spoke with a deep and strange voice
"You are daughters of the stars. You are the light that will restore balance to this world."
Then she collapsed, breathing heavily.
The blue and white girls rushed to her. The blue one said
"There's water nearby. Help me carry her."
Together, they brought her to the river and sat beside her until she regained her strength.
She lifted her head and spoke with determination
"We must find someone who can help us. We don't know this place. But it feels like this place knows us."
