The Tale of Ora and the Golden Fish🔊

A long time ago, nestled in the shadow of tall looming mountains, there lived a humble village of Kyr. This village thrived on a beautiful river that carried the songs of the wind and the whispers of God. The people in the village were honest, hardworking and strongly believed in the power of unity and love, one such was a young girl named Ora, who was an epitome of innocence and kindness. Ora was the youngest daughter of the village head and was adored by all for her generosity and helping nature.

One day as Ora was by the river, she found a small golden fish desperately plopping on the ground. Ora hurriedly picked it up and set it free in the river. However, the fish turned towards Ora and out of gratitude granted her a wish. Unsure, Ora wished for happiness and prosperity of her village. The fish granted it and disappeared into the depths of the water.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and a peculiar thing happened. The crops started flourishing with unimaginable yields, the livestock prospered, and the river never ran dry even in the summers. The village was quickly becoming the most prosperous in mountains. However, the growing prosperity didn't go unnoticed. The neighboring village got envious and greed clouded their judgment. They decided to take over the flourishing village.

Yet, strangely enough, no matter how hard they tried, every attack they made was thwarted by a mysterious force. It was as if the village had divine protection. Meanwhile, the village continued to prosper, the growth benefiting not only the villagers but the surrounding communities too. The village had become a beacon of hope, prosperity and had people believing in magic and miracles.

One day, it all changed. The neighboring village, frustrated with their failed attempts, trapped the golden fish. Believing the golden fish was the secret behind the prosperity, they enslaved it and prevented it from granting its divine blessing to the village across the river.

Almost Immediately, the village of Kyr began to decline. The crops withered, the cattle grew lean and unhealthy, and the river dried up. The villagers were stumped at the sudden misfortune. As pain and suffering grew day by day, Ora sought help from the deities. To her surprise, the grateful golden fish appeared, explaining the truth behind all of this.

With profound sadness but a determined heart, Ora set out to free the golden fish. She journeyed through treacherous paths, faced numerous challenges. Some of her adventures included crossing a forest of thorns, climbing steep cliffs, and even outsmarting the monstrous guards of the neighboring village. But, her courage never faltered.

Finally, she reached the mansion where the fish was held captive. With swift and careful steps, she managed to free the fish and escape unnoticed. Once free, the fish thanked Ora, and in return, it not only restored the prosperity of Kyr but also blessed the village with invulnerable protection.

After the return of Ora, the village prospered even more. The simple villagers learnt a profound lesson from their braveheart Ora. The village of Kyr became a symbol of hope, heroism, sacrifice, and prosperity. They understood that the courage to stand up and protect one's people can bring divine blessings and protection.

And from that day forward, Ora was celebrated as the protector of Kyr. Her tales of heroism and courage passed down through generations, inspiring and ensuring that the spirit of unity and the will to protect one's people would never die. In the heart of those mountains, Kyr flourished, blooming with the colors of prosperity and echoing with songs of bravery.
