That night, I walked alone to the lake.
With every step away from the noise of the town, something deep inside me grew quieter.
It was just a fifteen-minute walk from home. Past the narrow path behind the library was a lake no one ever visited.
Even in summer, the water stayed cold—still as glass, reflecting the night sky like a perfect mirror.
A sky full of stars. Air so clear it felt like I could breathe in the universe.
A single shooting star slipped silently into the lake and, for a moment, it looked like it bounced back up into the sky.
Then, the wind stopped. It felt like time itself had frozen.
I thought I heard the soft flutter of wings—feathered, light—and turned around.
There it was.
High above me, a Pegasus, pure white like snow.
Its wings sparkled with stardust as it soared across the sky, as if slicing through the night itself.
And in that moment, something warm bloomed inside me, like a memory I'd carried all my life.
“…You came to see me?”
The words slipped from my lips before I even understood them.
The Pegasus circled above once, then glided toward the far side of the lake—toward the forest.
A forest no one dared enter. People in town said it was eerie, haunted even.
But that night, it looked different.
The trees shimmered faintly, like someone had sprinkled stardust across the leaves.
Drawn to it, I made my way around the lake toward the forest entrance.
Lying at my feet was a small branch—or no, a wand.
As I picked it up, a gentle light sparked through it.
White, soft, and undeniably warm.
“…Is this mine?”
It felt like something I'd carried deep inside had finally taken shape.
I’d spent so long blending in, silencing dreams I thought no one would understand.
But the Pegasus had looked right at me—really seen me.
And the wand told me that who I am isn’t something anyone else gets to decide.
In that forest, where stardust danced, I gripped the wand tightly.
The wind stirred, and the trees whispered like old friends.
The Pegasus streaked across the sky once more, tracing a glowing arc above my head.
"I'm ready."
To walk this path, beneath these stars, with strength that’s finally mine.
That’s what the stars taught me that night.
