Song of the Celestial Spirit
Once upon a time in a far off kingdom, there lived a kind and humble young woman named Alida. She was known for her sweet nature and gifted eloquence, and she was loved and respected by everyone in the village. The villagers would call her the 'songbird' due to her melodious voice, which was capable of calming even the angriest beasts.
But Alida had a secret. Every full moon, she would encase herself in her home and did not communicate with anyone. No one knew the reason behind Alida's peculiar behavior. Even she herself didn't fully understand the cause of this ritual she felt compelled to follow.
One night, during the peak of the full moon, something strange occurred. Alida's cottage shrouded itself in a bright light, engulfing the surrounding area in its silvery glow. From a distance, it looked as if the moon itself had descended upon Alida's home. Terrified and intrigued, the villagers observed the scene from a safe distance
Suddenly, Alida appeared at the door of her home. She looked unlike anyone had ever seen her- her hair was gleaming silver, her eyes sparkled like the night sky, she looked ethereally serene. Without uttering a word, she lifted her hands towards the moon as if she was trying to channel its power. A melodious tune flowed from her mouth, each note wavering and intertwining with the gentle gust of wind.
As she continued, something surprising happened. Animals from the surrounding woodland crept towards her, mesmerized by her singing. They sat around her, their eyes glazed with calm and peace. The villagers gasped at the spectacle presented in front of them.
Upon completion of her celestial serenade, Alida collapsed, and the light disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. The villagers rushed to her aid, and Alida was taken back into her home. The animals returned to their homes, and a sense of peace descended upon everyone present there.
The next morning, Alida woke up, her memories cloudy and vague. She remembered little of the previous night, but she felt an unknown energy coursing through her- powerful and tranquil.
During Alida's strange, yet awe-inspiring performances, a fable emerged. The villagers came to believe that Alida was a conduit, chosen by the celestial bodies as a bridge between the celestial and mortal realms. They respected her more deeply and met her with awe-filled gazes.
Some villagers were fearful initially, but with each passing moon cycle, they grew accustomed to Alida's exhibitions. They began to see it as a blessing rather than something to fear. They believe that Alida's silver song brought peace to the village and kept it safe from wild animals and other dangers.
A few years later, Alida passed away quietly in her sleep. Even after her death, the villagers would swear they could hear her melodious song on full moon nights. They would gather around her now-abandoned home, listen to the supposed echo of her voice, and remember the songbird who sang the song of the celestial bodies.
Alida's story became the village's lore, passed down from generation to generation. A tale about a humble girl with a celestial spirit who sang the moon's song, a story of harmony, tranquility, love, and mystery.
