The Forgotten Kingdom In The Clouds
Once upon a time, in a world far beyond human comprehension, lay the forgotten Kingdom of the Clouds. The kingdom was in the sky, hidden amongst the clouds, invisible to the naked eye. It was a realm of beauty and magic, endowed with spectacular seascapes, sunsets that spun colors of gold and crimson, and an endless array of whimsical creatures. The citizens of the kingdom were beings of pure angelic energy, that the earthlings often mistaken for shooting stars when they would visit the ground.
The kingdom was ruled by a virtuous and wise king, Lyron, who was respected by all. He wasn't just popular for his benevolent reign but also for his kindness towards all living creatures. He had a daughter, Princess Aeliana, an epitome of grace and beauty. Her enchanting beauty was eclipsed by her compassion and purity of heart that enchanted everyone. Her sprightly laugh echoed through the corridors of the palace, striking a chord of happiness in everyone's heart. However, despite living in a paradise, Aeliana longed to experience the earthly realm.
One day, Princess Aeliana, out of curiosity more than rebellion, ventured to the world below. She camouflaged herself as a human and blended with the people, trying to live their way of life. She found joy in the simplest things; the rustling leaves, the chime of a local clock tower, smell of baked bread wafting from the bakery, and laughter of kids in the park. She was mesmerized by everything. In the middle of her enchantment, she met an artist, named Raylen. Raylen lived a simple life, painting landscapes and earning his livelihood by selling his works in the local market.
Unaware of Aeliana's true identity, Raylen fell for her kindred spirit and radiant energy. Raylen’s simplicity, kindness, and talent attracted Princess Aeliana. Love blossomed amidst stolen glances, shared laughter, and color-stained fingers. But Aeliana's heart ached, knowing their worlds were too disparate for their love to exist.
One day, a terrible earthquake struck the human world. Aeliana instinctively used her magical powers to save people, revealing her identity inadvertently. Raylen, witnessing her magical powers, felt an initial shock but was soon filled with a deep sense of admiration for her selfless act. Aeliana confessed about her origin and fearing her father's wrath, she decided to return to the Sky Kingdom.
However, King Lyron, having witnessed Aeliana's actions through his magical crystal ball, was moved by her selfless act and her love for Raylen. The king realized no kingdom's decree should stand in the way of pure, selfless love. He decided not only to forgive Aeliana but also took a step ahead to enhance the peace between the two realms.
A grand celebration was organized in the Sky Kingdom where humans were invited for the first time. King-Lyron bestowed upon Raylen the honor of 'Guardian of the Two Realms’ for his kind heart. He allowed his daughter, Aeliana, to live half of the year in the human world with Raylen while the other half in the Sky Kingdom. This marked onset of a new era of harmony, understanding, and mutual respect between the two realms, forever binding them together with love. And, Raylen and Princess Aeliana lived a life they had dreamt of, filled with love, harmony, and magic.
In the end, the forgotten Kingdom in the Clouds was forgotten no more. Not just by the people who had come to know of its existence, but in the heart of the princess who learned that you can love two worlds just the same.
