Chapter 5 - The Queen of Wishes

Meanwhile, in the magical world of Lumora Magica, the Prince, Arin, noticed that everything had become strangely quiet. Every day, he tried to connect with the Minister through the magic pen, just like they had always done. He would speak the special magical words and wait for a reply. But day after day, there was only silence.

Prince Arin sat alone in his magical library, looking at the pen, worried. "Why is Minister Tom not replying? Is he angry? Is he sick?" Arin's thoughts were filled with concern. Though he was busy building and exploring Lumora Magica—a world he had created with his own magical powers—he never stopped thinking about Minister Tom.

Back in the Kingdom of Brightvale, the Minister also thought of Arin every single day. He had lost the pen and the scroll with the magic words during the chaos at the palace. Since then, he had no way to speak to the Prince, no way to let him know that he was alive and still thinking of him. The Minister kept this secret to himself. He never told anyone—not even his own daughter, Luna.

Minister Tom had always shared a special bond with Prince Arin. Even though he loved his daughter Luna deeply, the bond he had with the Prince was something different. It was strong, built on trust, friendship, and shared secrets. Luna had never once felt jealous. She and the Prince were almost the same age, and even when she saw how close they were, she never complained. Instead, she admired their friendship.

Now, many years had passed. The Prince and Luna had grown into young adults. Both had changed and matured, but their good hearts had stayed the same.

Then, on a quiet and lovely evening, something magical happened.

In Lumora Magica, Prince Arin had created many wonderful things. One of his most beautiful creations was a special butterfly. This butterfly was not ordinary. She was born from magic, light, and love. He named her Tiara—the Queen of Wishes. Tiara was not just beautiful, with wings that sparkled in the sunlight—she also had a special power. Anyone who made a wish to Tiara with a pure heart would have that wish come true.

Prince Arin had created Tiara to help kind-hearted people. He wanted her to fly through his magical world, find people in need, and bring happiness. But one day, something unexpected happened. While flying near the Prince's magical library, Tiara found a small secret door that had opened by mistake. Curious, she flew through it. In just a blink, she was no longer in Lumora Magica—she had entered the real world: the Kingdom of Brightvale.

When she tried to fly back through the door, it was already gone. The magical path had closed, and even her strongest magic could not bring it back. Tiara was lost.

But Tiara was a brave butterfly. She didn't cry or panic. Instead, she decided to fly across the kingdom and look for someone who could help her return. She knew one thing for sure: only someone with a pure heart would be able to connect to the magical world of Lumora Magica.

So she flew—over mountains, rivers, fields, and towns. People saw her and tried to catch her, thinking she was a rare butterfly. But Tiara flew higher and faster, avoiding anyone who didn't feel right. She had a special way of knowing who was kind and who was not.

Back in Lumora Magica, Prince Arin was very worried. When he noticed Tiara was missing, he searched every part of his world. He called her name, used magic spells, and even checked the secret library room. After days of searching, he finally found a mark that showed someone had passed through the magic door. He knew then—Tiara had entered the real world.

He tried everything to bring her back, but none of his spells worked outside of Lumora Magica. Still, he did not lose hope. He whispered to himself, "If she finds someone kind, maybe that person can help her. Maybe that person can help me too."

Tiara, now tired but determined, kept flying. She passed over cities and villages until she came to the quiet edge of the kingdom—where Minister Tom and Luna now lived.

Luna was in the garden, helping her neighbor carry heavy water pots. She always helped others. Whether it was feeding the poor, caring for sick animals, or simply listening to someone's troubles, Luna was always there. And no matter how hard her day was, she never stopped smiling.

Tiara flew down quietly and watched Luna from above. Her heart began to glow. This girl was different. She was kind, selfless, and full of love. Tiara could feel it—this was the one she had been searching for.

As the sun began to set, Tiara gently flew into Luna's house. She was tired after all her flying. Luna was inside, lighting a small lamp. Suddenly, she noticed something glowing near the window. She turned and saw the butterfly.

Tiara slowly flew toward her and landed softly on the table. Luna stepped closer, surprised by her beauty. The butterfly sparkled like starlight.

"Where did you come from?" Luna whispered. She used to talk to other birds and animals, but she didn't know that a butterfly could talk..

At that moment, something magical happened. Though Tiara was silent, her wings glowed in patterns, and Luna somehow understood that the butterfly was trying to say something to her. A bond had been formed—a magical connection of trust and kindness.

That night, the two sat quietly together. Luna didn't know the full story yet,but something in Luna's heart told her that this butterfly had come for a reason. A magical journey was about to begin, and Luna was ready.

Little did she know, this was the start of a new chapter—one that would connect her to Prince Arin, to Lumora Magica, and to a destiny full of wonder and courage.

Tiara had finally found the one person who could help her return—and together, they were about to change everything.
