That night, I walked alone to the lake. <br />With every step away from the noise of the town, something deep inside me grew quieter. <br /><br />It was just a fifteen-minute walk from home. Past the narrow path behind the library was a lake no one ever visited. <br />Even in summer, the water stayed cold—still as glass, reflecting the night sky like a perfect mirror. <br />A sky full of stars. Air so clear it felt like I could breathe in the universe. <br />A single shooting star slipped silently into the lake and, for a moment, it looked like it bounced back up into the sky. <br /><br />Then, the wind stopped. It felt like time itself had frozen. <br />I thought I heard the soft flutter of wings—feathered, light—and turned around. <br /><br />There it was. <br />High above me, a Pegasus, pure white like snow. <br />Its wings sparkled with stardust as it soared across the sky, as if slicing through the night itself. <br />And in that moment, something warm bloomed inside me, like a memory I'd carried all my life. <br />“…You came to see me?” <br /><br />The words slipped from my lips before I even understood them. <br />The Pegasus circled above once, then glided toward the far side of the lake—toward the forest. <br />A forest no one dared enter. People in town said it was eerie, haunted even. <br /><br />But that night, it looked different. <br />The trees shimmered faintly, like someone had sprinkled stardust across the leaves. <br /><br />Drawn to it, I made my way around the lake toward the forest entrance. <br />Lying at my feet was a small branch—or no, a wand. <br />As I picked it up, a gentle light sparked through it. <br />White, soft, and undeniably warm. <br /><br />“…Is this mine?” <br /><br />It felt like something I'd carried deep inside had finally taken shape. <br />I’d spent so long blending in, silencing dreams I thought no one would understand. <br />But the Pegasus had looked right at me—really seen me. <br />And the wand told me that who I am isn’t something anyone else gets to decide. <br /><br />In that forest, where stardust danced, I gripped the wand tightly. <br />The wind stirred, and the trees whispered like old friends. <br />The Pegasus streaked across the sky once more, tracing a glowing arc above my head. <br /><br />"I'm ready." <br /><br />To walk this path, beneath these stars, with strength that’s finally mine. <br />That’s what the stars taught me that night. <br /><br /><br />#MadeWithAI <br />#SunoAI <br />#Animon <br />#Animation <br />#Female <br />#Pop <br />
