In a lush green forest, a young boy named Sam was playing near a sparkling stream. He loved to chase butterflies and explore. One day, he heard a sweet voice saying, “Come play with me, little one!” Sam turned and saw a beautiful lamia with shimmering scales and a gentle smile. Her name was Lyra, and she had long flowing hair that glimmered in the sunlight. “Who are you?” Sam asked with wide eyes. “I am Lyra, the guardian of the forest,” she replied, her voice as soothing as the babbling brook.
