๐ฎEpisode14: The Festival of 100 Lanterns ๐ฎ๐
Once a year, a mysterious festival is held where one hundred lanterns are released into the night sky.
Each lantern holds a wish—but only those made with a pure heart will truly reach the stars.
When several lanterns refuse to rise, Lumi begins a gentle adventure to uncover the hidden reason behind their silence.
The night air was calm and clear.
Soft music echoed through the village as people gathered, each holding a glowing lantern.
“It’s the Festival of 100 Lanterns,” Lumi whispered, her eyes sparkling.
“They say every lantern carries a wish to the sky.”
One by one, lanterns were released.
They floated upward—slowly, gently—like stars learning how to fly.
But then… Lumi noticed something strange.
Several lanterns stayed close to the ground.
They flickered softly, as if unsure.
“Why won’t they fly?” Lumi wondered.
She knelt beside one lantern and listened carefully.
Inside, she felt something heavy—not sadness, but hesitation.
“These wishes are scared,” Lumi realized.
“They’re not wrong… just unsure if they deserve to be heard.”
Lumi closed her eyes and placed her hands over the lanterns.
“It’s okay,” she whispered.
“Every wish matters—even the quiet ones.”
A warm light spread from her fingertips.
Slowly, gently… the lanterns began to rise.
The crowd gasped as the final lanterns joined the others,
forming a sky full of glowing hopes.
That night, Lumi didn’t make a wish for herself.
She simply smiled—knowing she helped others believe.
And far above, the stars seemed to smile back.

Some wishes glow so softly,
they’re meant to stay close to your heart.
