The Crystal Fountain🔊

Once upon a time, nestled deep in a lush mountain valley, an enchanting village lived in harmony. Its most renowned feature was the crystal clear Fountain, which was believed to possess curing properties. The locals called it 'The Crystal Fountain'.

Sarah, the daughter of a poor, peasant farmer, was a lively girl with an insatiable fascination for the village’s tales. Most entranced by the story of the Crystal Fountain, Sarah believed in its magic more passionately than anyone else. She yearned to confirm its healing abilities, but being hale and hearty, she never got the opportunity to test it herself.

Not very far from the content village, a dragon named Draco roamed the desolate mountain peaks. He was wild, fierce, and, secluded. Draco had a large, unsightly scar running down one side of his body, a harsh memory of a battle fought years ago. The wound never healed completely and jeopardized his ability to fly.

One day, Draco, plagued by the constant pain, descended from his solitary peak, desperately seeking a cure. His journey down the mountains was excruciating, but he was driven by the desperate need for relief. He wreaked havoc in his path, but only out of sheer discomfort. Sarah's village was next.

The villagers, alarmed at the sight of Draco, began to panic. But Sarah, who had heard about Draco and his plight, saw this as an opportunity. Ignoring the horrified cries around her, she approached Draco, who was scouring the village and causing unintentional damage. With a brave heart and compassion in her eyes, Sarah called out to him, offering assistance.

Draco, surprised at her courage, paused his chaos. He looked at the petite girl standing before him, radiating assurance and kindness. He explained his agony to her, telling her about the scar that made his existence tormenting.

Guiding Draco to the Crystal Fountain, Sarah asked him to soak his wound in its sparkling waters. Skeptical but desperate, Draco complied. As the water cascaded over his scar, he felt an immediate sense of calm wash over him. The throbbing pain started to subside, and the scar began to untether its grip on Draco.

Word of the dragon's arrival had drawn a crowd, and they looked on in astonishment as Draco withdrew from the Fountain, his menacing scar almost invisible. Filled with gratitude, Draco thanked Sarah for her kindness and soared back into the skies, leaving behind a village untouched and safe.

Sarah's brave encounter with Draco deepened her faith in the magic of the Crystal Fountain. She basked in the village's laudation, but more than that, she rejoiced in knowing that she had helped someone in distress.

The legend of Sarah and the Crystal Fountain was passed down generations, the stories echoing through the mountain-valley long after they were gone. The villagers continued to revere the power of the Fountain, and Sarah's name became a symbol of bravery and kindness.
