  • 🌙 THE LOST BOY AND THE PRINCESS

In a quiet kingdom surrounded by whispering forests and glowing fireflies, there lived a princess named Amira. She was kind, brave, and loved by the whole village—but she carried a deep sadness. Her father, the king, kept her inside the castle walls, afraid of the dangers beyond. Amira longed to see the world outside.One evening, as the moon rose full and white, the sound of bells echoed from the forest path. The guards rushed toward the gate, and there they found a boy—tired, barefoot, and covered in dust.His name was Nalo, a wanderer who had lost his family during a long journey. With nothing but a small wooden flute tied to his neck, he had followed the moonlight until he reached the kingdom.Princess Amira, hearing the commotion, rushed to the gate. When her eyes met Nalo’s, she felt a strange pull—like two stories weaving together for the first time.

🌿 A FRIENDSHIP BEGINS

Amira begged her father to let Nalo stay in the palace. “He has nowhere to go,” she said. “Let him rest.”

The king agreed.Every morning, Amira and Nalo walked through the palace gardens. Nalo told stories of the forests he had crossed—trees that hummed at night, rivers that glowed green, and birds that spoke in whispers. Amira listened with shining eyes. In return, she taught Nalo how to read palace maps and how to speak the royal dialect.Soon, they became inseparable.

🌫️ THE HIDDEN DANGER

But the forest carried secrets of its own.

A shadowed creature called The Night Beast had begun lurking near the borders of the kingdom. It searched for something—something that once belonged to the royal bloodline.One night, as Nalo played his wooden flute in the garden, the notes shimmered in the air like silver dust. The princess watched in awe. But deep in the forest, the Night Beast stirred.It recognized the sound.That flute—once owned by an ancient guardian—was its only weakness.

🔥 A COURAGEOUS PLANS

When word reached the palace at the Night Beast was approaching, fear spread everywhere. The king ordered the gates shut, but Nalo knew the truth:The creature was coming for him.“I can’t hide,” Nalo said. “If I leave, your kingdom will be safe.”But Princess Amira grabbed his hand.
“No. We face it together.”She stole her father’s moonstone staff—a royal heirloom said to protect against dark spirits. And so, under the cover of night, the princess and the lost boy slipped out of the castle and went into the woods.

🌘 THE FINAL CONFRONTATION

When the beast appeared, its eyes burned like dying stars.Nalo lifted the flute, hands trembling. Amira raised the moonstone staff. Together, they stepped forward.Nalo played a tune—a soft, ancient lullaby. The melody wrapped around the trees like warm wind. The beast roared, its shadow shrinking. Amira struck the ground with the staff, releasing a burst of white light.The darkness shattered.The Night Beast dissolved into mist, freed from its curse.

✨ A NEW DAWN

At sunrise, Nalo and Amira returned to the kingdom as heroes. The king, seeing the courage in his daughter and the heart of the lost boy, opened the gates to the world beyond.He even made Nalo the Royal Guardian of the Forest, protecting both the land and the princess who believed in him.And as for Amira and Nalo?They remained by each other’s side—two souls who once wandered alone, now forever bound by courage, friendship, and a destiny written under the moon.
