Under Purple Clouds

Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. They swirled and twirled, their edges tinged with a soft pink that blended seamlessly with the fading light of the sun. The people of the small town below had grown used to this peculiar phenomenon and had even come to look forward to it. They would gather on their balconies, their rooftops, and their streets, watching in awe as the clouds performed their nightly dance.

But what the people didn't know was that the purple clouds held a secret. A secret that had been kept hidden for centuries. A secret that only a select few were privy to.

And it was to one of these select few that the clouds revealed themselves that night. His name was Carlos, and he was a young boy of eleven, with eyes that shone like the stars and a heart full of wonder. Carlos had been born under the purple clouds, and since he was old enough to walk, he had been drawn to them.

As he stood on the roof of his house, watching the clouds perform their dance, Carlos felt a pull in his chest. It was a sensation he had felt before, but this time it was stronger, more insistent. He felt as though the clouds were calling out to him, beckoning him to come closer.

Without hesitation, Carlos climbed down from the roof and ran towards the edge of town, where the clouds hovered low over the hills. As he got closer, he could see that the clouds were not just purple and pink, but also a deep shade of blue, and that they seemed to be pulsing with a gentle light.

Carlos stood at the foot of the hill, staring up at the clouds in wonder. And then, something amazing happened. The clouds began to part, revealing a path that led up the hill. Carlos felt a thrill of excitement in his chest and without a second thought, he began to climb.

As he climbed higher and higher, the clouds seemed to close in around him, creating a tunnel of swirling purple and blue. The air grew cooler, and the ground beneath his feet became soft and spongy. Carlos felt as though he were walking on a cloud, and he marveled at the sensation.

Finally, he emerged at the top of the hill, where he found himself standing in a clearing surrounded by the purple clouds. In the center of the clearing stood a small, stone cottage, its walls covered in moss and ivy.

Carlos approached the cottage cautiously, feeling a sense of reverence wash over him. He pushed open the creaky wooden door and stepped inside. The interior of the cottage was dimly lit, and the air was thick with the smell of incense.

As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Carlos saw that the cottage was filled with strange and wondrous objects. There were jars filled with glowing liquids, strange symbols etched into the walls, and books with titles written in languages he didn't recognize.

Suddenly, he heard a voice. It was soft and gentle, and it seemed to come from all around him. "Welcome, Carlos," the voice said. "I have been waiting for you."

Carlos spun around, trying to find the source of the voice, but he saw no one. "Who are you?" he asked.

"I am the guardian of the purple clouds," the voice said. "I have been waiting for someone who is pure of heart and full of wonder. Someone who will carry on the legacy of the purple clouds."

Carlos felt a jolt of excitement in his chest. "Me?" he asked. "I'm just a boy."

"You are more than that," the voice said. "You are the chosen one. The one who will carry the magic of the purple clouds with you always
