The Star Weaver

Long ago, before lanterns and candles, people lived in a world of endless dusk. The sun would rise faintly, but when night came, the sky was dark and empty. The villagers often stumbled in the shadows, praying for a way to find light.

In the heart of this dim world lived Lyra, a humble weaver’s daughter. By day, she worked with her loom, weaving simple cloth. But by night, she dreamed of a sky filled with glowing sparks.

One evening, while walking near the river, Lyra found a golden feather shimmering in the mud. As she picked it up, a bird unlike any she had seen descended from the sky. It was the Celestial Phoenix, a creature of fire and light.
