Chapter 1: Elara from Goldkin Estate
From a girl to a woman
Chapter 1:
In a big, fancy house surrounded by tall trees and sparkly lakes, a girl named Elara was born.
Her dad was a storeowner. Her mom stayed home. She had an older sister, 10 years older than her, who was always far away studying. Elara hardly saw her.
In her childish glory, she found happiness in little things, like imagining and dreaming. Even though she didn't have many friends at school, she didn't mind for she found friendship and wonder in books. She buried her nose in these books that she would grab at the library, getting lost in stories and learning new things.
Elara was a Pisces, which meant she loved dreaming. Her mind was always wandering, creating magical worlds where she could be anything she wanted. She longed for freedom, to explore beyond the borders of her fancy home and discover her own adventures.
She wanted to be one thing one day and the next thing the other.
As she grew, her dreams became her compass, guiding her towards a future filled with endless possibilities.
And as she looked out her window at the stars twinkling in the night sky, she knew that one day, she would spread her wings and fly into the vast, unknown world, where her dreams awaited her with open arms.

Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall
I love you. I love you for who you are when we're alone together. The way your eyes squint and twinkle when you're smiling. I see the wrinkles that form around the corner of your eyes when you laugh, a sign of your gaining wisdom as you age. I notice how you're conscious about the excessive acne on your face, yet I realise the confidence you possess to carry them around without seeing the slightest need to cover them up with make-up. I don't know many who would flaunt flaws out that well.

After a long day in the department, Emily dropped her worn and tired dark leather bag on the counter before navigating through the small and disordered kitchen to grab a cold beer from a contrarily empty fridge. She hadn't had a chance to unpack since moving from Newcastle to Glasgow, let alone shop for sustenance, except for cold brews naturally.

Great first chapter! Impressive!
I'm a Pisces too and I loveeeeee dreaming, lol! Also, just wondering, did you use the help of AI for your story? Looking forward to chapter 2!
Amen. Let it be so. And may there be many chapters yet to come.
If this is just Chapter 1, I anticipate reading more about this curious girl to whom I can relate. I had few friends and many associates and acquaintances i school. The library was my refuge. I got caught in your words and can’t wait for the next installment. S.S.
