In a quiet town beneath the hills, Where the woods whisper their ancient thrills, Once a year on a moonlit night, Stars descend with ethereal light.On the solstice, dreams take flight, As townsfolk gather in soft twilight, Their hearts full of silent pleas, Wishes carried on a gentle breeze.
Evelyn stood on the edge of the crowd, With hopes unspoken, dreams unbowed, She watched as stars began to fall, A silver cascade that enchanted all.
Midnight chimed, the first star gleamed, A thread of light where wishes streamed, Voices rose, a murmured prayer, Each hope and dream laid bare.
With eyes closed tight, Evelyn sighed, A wish for love, for shadows to hide, Her voice a whisper, soft and shy, Released to the starlit sky.Stars above seemed to pulse and sway, Bathing the town in a magical array, And when their light began to fade, Evelyn felt a peace conveyed.
In the days that followed, subtle change, Acts of kindness, no longer strange, Old friends returned, new ones found, A sense of unity spread around.Evelyn found her courage bright, Steps toward dreams in newfound light, The magic wasn't just in stars, But in brave hearts with healing scars.
A year gone by, the night returned, In Evelyn’s heart, a lesson learned, Surrounded now by friends and cheer, She watched the stars, her mind clear.The magic lives in those who dare, To dream, to wish, to show they care, On the Night of Wishes, hearts unite, Beneath the stars, in gentle light.

Llion the Brave Version 2
Her screams diminished as Llion was dragged away from the cell. The stench in the corridor was less but there was still damp, decay, defecation, death. His feet dragged, like a raggedy puppet, the guard either side of him holding him fast. He could feel their individual fingers digging into his scant flesh, leaving their impression on his bones.
