The Glowing Epiphyllum: Tale of Eldorado
Once upon a time, nestled in the heart of a magical forest, stood a magnificent kingdom known as Eldorado. Eldorado was the envy of every realm, not for its wealth, but for the rare flower, 'The Glowing Epiphyllum' that bloomed once every hundred years under the benevolent reign of the ruler.
The royal lineage of Eldorado was unlike any other. The throne of Eldorado would not pass to the eldest child but to the one who could converse with nature's mysterious creatures. This gift was symbolic of the unwavering respect towards nature. Among the four royal siblings; Eliana, Elek, Erol, and Elma, it was the quiet, ever-observant Elma who possessed this exceptional gift.
The Glowing Epiphyllum was due to bloom during the reign of King Elaius, their father. The entire kingdom was euphoric, eagerly awaiting the glorious moment. However, the forest spirit whispered a warning about an impending disaster to Elma. The Glowing Epiphyllum was in grave danger; the Ice Wraith from a neighbouring realm intended to seize it, which would result in an eternal winter in Eldorado.
Fearful but determined, Elma decided to confront the Ice Wraith. Elma was not a warrior but understood that the connection with nature is an armor stronger than any metal forged. Armed with the love for her kingdom and the natural allies she had collected over the years, Elma ventured into the icy regions of Zephyrus, the realm of the Ice Wraith.
The arduous journey consisted of treacherous terrains and malevolent beasts but each time danger loomed, creatures of nature sprang forth to her aid - a testament to Elma's gift. What surprised Elma and warmed her heart the most was the unwavering display of loyalty by her siblings who had accompanied her in secret.
After weeks of travel, they encountered the Ice Wraith. The elemental's harsh, bone chilling winds swept across the frozen battlefield. Elma's siblings brandished their weapons, distracting the Ice Wraith while Elma connected with the snowy landscape, imploring it for assistance.
Sensing Elma's genuine plea, the snow sent an inspiring icy gust which wrapped around the Ice Wraith, momentarily paralyzing it. Seizing the chance, Elma approached the cooled enemy and spoke heartening words of nature and harmony. Through dialogue, she convinced the Ice Wraith to abandon its destructive path.
Touched by her words, the Ice Wraith agreed to spare the Glowing Epiphyllum in exchange for a small part of its illuminating pollen. Why the Ice Wraith coveted the mystical flower's power was clear now; it wanted to alleviate the endless darkness in Zephyrus. Elma agreed, teaching the spirit that genuine warmth comes from kindness, not power itself.
Elma's unique gift of communication and her heart brimming with courage saved Eldorado and formed a respect-based alliance with Zephyrus. The demure princess who was a wallflower bloomed like the Glowing Epiphyllum, bright and significant. The realm of Eldorado celebrated not only the dazzling bloom of the Glowing Epiphyllum but also, Elma, who was crowned the new Queen.
Nature and its wonders remain infinite, but so does its mysteries and perils, and Eldorado understood this harmonious balance beautifully. Elma's reign marked an era of unity, prosperity, and respect for the whispers of nature, often unheard, but immensely profound.
