The Forgotten Wish

In a hidden corner of the enchanted forest, there lived a young elf named Liora. She was curious and bright, with sparkling green eyes and long, golden hair. One sunny day, Liora heard the soft whisper of the wind calling her to a glowing willow tree. "What secrets do you hold?" she asked, kneeling beside its roots. As she dug into the soft earth, her fingers brushed against something cool and smooth. It was an ancient scroll, covered in dust but glowing with magic!

Liora's heart raced as she read the scroll aloud, "To save the forest, I wish—" Suddenly, the words faded away! Only half of the wish remained. "Oh no! I need to find the missing piece!" she exclaimed. With determination in her heart, Liora set off on her quest. The shadows of the forest began to stir, and the animals watched with wide eyes. Would Liora find the magic she needed before the darkness took over?

As she ventured deeper into the forest, Liora met a wise old owl perched on a twisted branch. "Hoo, hoo," it called, flapping its wings gently. "If it's the missing piece you seek, then travel to the Moonlit Lake where the stars kiss the water." Liora nodded, her heart filled with hope. She thanked the owl and hurried toward the shimmering path that led to the lake.

Arriving at the Moonlit Lake, Liora gazed at the stars reflected in its still waters. "Please, stars," she whispered, "show me the wish that will save our forest." Suddenly, a ripple formed, and from the center of the lake, a glowing star rose into the sky, revealing the missing words: "—for the light to always shine!" Liora clapped her hands with joy, and the stars twinkled brighter than ever before.

With the complete wish in her heart, Liora returned to the glowing willow tree. As she whispered the wish, the forest began to sparkle with a warm, golden light. The trees stood taller, the flowers bloomed brighter, and even the shadows seemed to dance with joy. The animals gathered around, their eyes filled with gratitude. Liora smiled, knowing that the forest would always be safe and full of magic.
