The Land of Yesterday's Tomorrows
Once upon a time, in a world filled with stardust, where time danced in circles, existed the Land of Yesterday's Tomorrows. It was a realm where beings lived backward in time. They would greet each other by saying 'Goodnight' at dawn and 'Good morning' at dusk. The land was ruled by the wise King Atlas and the graceful Queen Aurora.
They had a son, Prince Orion, unique even in this reverse world. For some mysterious reason, Orion was born like a human being, living his days forward, not backward. It was a conundrum to everyone, and it made young Orion feel like an outsider.
Despite their reverse world, there existed one constant- the powerful Star of Destiny. It was said it had the power to change anyone's destiny, but only revealing itself on the celestial event called the 'Twilight Reversal,' which occurred once in a millennium. Orion, eager to fit in, counted days for this event.
The days passed. In the Land of Yesterday's Tomorrow, people celebrated festive occasions before they occurred. The annual fair was the most awaited event. It was always celebrated one day before. Being the odd-one-out, Orion always felt discomfort on such a day. He could never connect with the festivity or the laughter, for in his world, they were celebrating the fair which was yet to occur.
The Twilight Reversal was nearing, and so was the day when the Star of Destiny would reveal itself. Excitement was running high in Orion. But, there was a downside. A prophecy foretold that on the eve of the Twilight Reversal, a great calamity would strike the Land of Yesterday's Tomorrows. But since they lived in a world moving backwards, the prophecy was recalled only after the catastrophic event happened.
A sudden Tsunami swept the land of Yesterday's Tomorrow. The kingdom was drowned, lives were lost, homes were destroyed, and sadly enough, King Atlas was amongst those swallowed by the Tsunami. The prophecy had indeed taken place, but only Orion had foreseen it, although nobody believed him.
The loss of the King was mourned after the event, and the kingdom was in grief. The wise Queen Aurora became the sole ruler, but a darkness had befallen the land as the days moved in gloom. The people were broken, yet their sense of time didn't allow them to anticipate the aftermath properly. They lived in a loop of 'yesterday's tomorrow,' bound by time's constricting ligature.
Orion felt a burning pain in his heart. For him, it was a loss yet to happen, a catastrophe waiting in the pages of his tomorrow. But he was also the only hope to seek the Star of Destiny and change what had already happened in his world. He was the only being to live forward, to alter the past and shape the future.
With the guidance of Queen Aurora, Prince Orion embarked on a heroic quest. He sailed through the River of Ages, climbed the Mountains of the Millennia, and battled the Beasts of Beyond. And, when the Twilight Reversal took place, the Star of Destiny appeared before Orion. With a hopeful heart, he made his wish- to restore his kingdom and his father back.
The Star sparkled, and time danced in reverse. And, like a weaving of a magical tale, it reshaped the destiny of yesterday's tomorrow. King Atlas was restored, the city was rebuilt, and the people came back full of life.
Orion's determination and courage changed the destiny of his Kingdom. His 'forward living' ceased to be an oddity but became a blessing. It taught the people the meaning of tomorrow, of hope beyond despair, and the joy in looking ahead.
