this is a story that I heard a while ago but it is not about dragons, poisoned apples, or even a strange creature. It's about a little star that fell from the ceiling one night in the Land of Nowhere. Some called it "the Child of the Moon," who grew between stories, dreams, and free will. But in the Land of Nowhere, those things were forbidden, because some of us love control, fear, and losing hope. But no one was brave enough to say something. Yeah, too much like nowadays. Should I go back to the story? Because this emptiness feels strange. And the Child of the Moon had a name, but most of them called them Hero, a special name, if you ask me. And as I said, Hero had dreams and loved stories, and they wanted to share stories with the rest of the world. And this became a purpose: to tell tales. At first, people were scared of what those things were, but slowly, they became curious. And the stories scattered across the whole land until they arrived at the kingdom. But stories are dangerous things. The kingdom knew that better than anyone. A story can make a child ask questions, dream of something more, remind a soul that it is not alone. The King did not like wondering. Neither did the council. And when whispers reached the people, they listened. Not with curiosity. With fear. And they began to fear what stories could do: make you think, question, hope. Hero knew none of this, continuing to travel from village to village, collecting dreams, sharing legends, teaching people how to imagine. Until one day, a letter arrived with a royal carriage. And for the first time, Hero wondered if stories could be hunted. It ended faster than a blink, sent back to where the Child of the Moon belonged. But every story they had told left a fingerprint on every soul that heard it. Or perhaps more than one. Lighting new paths and giving them names. But I'll never know. Because I am a story too. And I don't know if I'll ever have a name
