The Legend of the Sky-Jewel
Long ago, when the world was young,
the Moon wove silver threads into the waters,
and from those threads, the Water People were born.
They lived in the shadowed kingdom below,
silent hunters in the green-lit gloom,
their eyes always turned upward
to the shimmering ceiling of the pond.
It was said that when a soul had learned patience,
the Sun would summon it.
One dawn, a chosen one, felt the call—
a pull like the tide,
a promise of something beyond breath and current.
It climbed the reed,
leaving the water’s embrace for the first time.
There, the old skin split,
and from within emerged a creature of light—
wings like molten glass,
veins etched with the script of the wind.
The Sky-Jewel took flight,
a guardian of summer skies,
its body catching the sun like a blade of flame.
For a short time, it danced between worlds— never forgetting the water,
yet bound now to the air.
When its time ended,
it returned to the reed,
and the Moon gathered its spirit,
casting it back into the depths to begin the journey anew.
