The Keeper of the Little Stars

“Power without wisdom can become a cage.”

Far beyond the silver forests and the glowing rivers of the Moonvale Kingdom lived a young wizard named Plarin, who had a gift unlike anyone else in the land.

While other wizards learned how to make flowers bloom or light candles with a wave of their hands, Plarin studied the oldest mysteries of magic. He wanted to understand the hidden songs of the universe — the tiny whispers that connected every living thing.

“Imagine,” he would say while looking at the night sky, “if we could protect every creature from sadness, every tree from falling, and every friend from ever leaving us.”

The people of Moonvale admired his curiosity. Plarin was clever, patient, and full of wonder. He spent years learning from ancient books and listening to the stories of travelers who had crossed oceans and mountains.

But as time passed, his desire changed.

At first, Plarin wanted knowledge so he could help others. He wanted to heal broken wings, restore lost gardens, and bring comfort to those who were afraid.
