Mia was a little girl who lived in a quiet village nestled between hills that looked like sleeping giants. Every afternoon, after her chores were done, she would sit by the old oak tree at the edge of the woods and whisper a strange, magical chant she had once heard from a traveling merchant: It looked like a ribbon made of moonlight and music
“Me?” Mia whispered.
