The Light Beyond the Mountain
Many decades ago, on the ocean triangular island of Trilya, there existed a small village named Kivalo. Encircled by azure waters, snow-dusted peaks, and translucent skies, the village was known for its breathtaking beauty, shimmering summer sunsets, and snow-clad winter panoramas. However, an aura of enigma veiled Kivalo as it was imbued with legend, myth, and prophecy.
The villagers of Kivalo often recited the mythical tale of a mystical light beyond the highest mountain, considered to be a guiding source of energy for the natives. The prophecy shares, 'When men start to fade in opinions and beliefs, the Power of Kivalo shall wane.' The peaceful coexistence in the village was tied to the shimmery light.
One day, the unthinkable happened. The radiant ball of light hovering above the mountain disappeared. The occurrence, what seemed like an enormous eclipse, had covered their guiding light. Turmoil followed, the unthinkable vanished light led to discord within the villagers, who began questioning and doubting each other's actions. The unity which once had been the essence of Kivalo was now on the brink of extinction.
A curious and brave young lad named Avik was deeply intrigued by the hovering light since childhood. Seeing his home divided, he decided to undertake the treacherous journey to the mountain peak to search for the truth behind their guiding light. Equipped with determination and the wisdom that the village elders had passed down, he strove forward on his journey.
Avik encountered numerous hurdles on his path; massive snow blizzards, ferocious wolves, and fearsome rockslides. Yet, the vision of his village being compelled to vanish kept his spirits high and hope alive. On the eve of the fifteenth day, Avik found himself staring at an awe-shunning sight, a massive aurora showcasing several colors. He felt an undeniable connection with the celestial spectacle realizing it was none other than their lost guiding light concealed behind an opaque layer of a mystical aura.
For seven days and nights, Avik struggled to solve the riddle of the befogged aura. On the eighth day, whilst scrutinizing the aurora, he discovered that the colors emitted resonated with the emotions of unity, understanding, and faith. The same sentiments, which once prevailed in Kivalo, and with the falling discord, the light too had dimmed.
His realization ushered in a new resolve within Avik, and he descended the mountain to reunite his people. Using his persuasive prowess, growing leadership, and the profound revelation he had experienced, Avik sewed the threads of unity, understanding, and faith back into the fabric of Kivalo.
As the villagers mended their bonds and shared a moment of collective ascension, Avik spotted the morning sun illuminating the peak of the mountain, the mystical light was back, brighter and brilliantly shimmering than ever before. Avik and the people of Kivalo rejoiced at their victory; their unity had indeed returned their guiding light.
The story of Avik instilled stronger faith in Kivalo's legends, along with a pivotal understanding that unity, faith, and understanding are the very essence of humankind's existence. The story serves as a beacon, ensuring that even in the darkest times, unity can bring back the lost light, not just in Kivalo, but within all of us, and thus became the legendary tale of 'The Light Beyond The Mountain'.
