The day arrived. Lumi was ready.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2qhGDa03k
Aarav’s heart was already racing.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbUj8wh7Tf
With the poem competition just hours away, he practiced every word carefully at Hari’s house. His friends stood by him, cheering, helping, laughing — especially Shila, who never left his side.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezmgSJgkee
But far from their joy, Lumi was on full alert.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRQSagamm
She knew Timbon wasn’t done. His dark heart wouldn’t let Aarav shine so easily. So, Lumi made a few guesses on what he’d try next. She set up magical dream-cameras on everyone in Aarav’s life, preparing for an ambush.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5uy6T2S6C
Her first guess was right.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEk7k11WA0
Timbon appeared outside Shila’s house, ready to infect her mother with troll magic through his cursed cube. His plan? Spoil Shila’s breakfast and make her too sick to attend.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpgvBilhz5
But Lumi was faster.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDEOYwLshk
She arrived just in time, her magical knuckles glowing. Timbon froze in shock — he hadn’t expected her so soon. With a fierce punch, Lumi sent him flying backwards. Furious, he retreated. Lumi quickly used her enchanted gloves to toss away the tainted breakfast before Shila could even smell it.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVflu2eqWr
Crisis avoided. Shila was safe — and later that morning, she joined Aarav at Hari’s house to keep him smiling.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm27ihRiRM
But the troll wasn’t done yet.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cNtalKVSw
By afternoon, Timbon made his move again. He snuck into Aarav’s home and possessed his mother, forcing her to call him back urgently. Lumi arrived too late this time. Aarav had already left.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApxNre5zIQ
On his way home, something unexpected happened.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb8re6mIwU
He passed the school fence and noticed something strange — the two bullies, Kali and David, were being scolded and even slapped by their drunken stepfather.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg14bYlWBsA
For the first time, Aarav saw their pain. No smirks. No pride. Just scared kids.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstdDXVXuI6
Aarav, Shila, Rajiv, and Hari stepped in.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rFbQIubLE
They defended the bullies.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXBV8AxTii
The boys looked at Aarav, speechless. Their faces were ashamed. They lowered their heads and whispered, “Sorry…”
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGzHjTE8bi
That very moment — gold light burst from Aarav’s chest, brighter than ever before. A protective shield shimmered around him.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNIXEsgGXD
When Aarav entered his house, his mother — still under Timbon’s control — was waiting to scold him. But Lumi appeared just in time. She locked his mother safely inside a room and fought off the dark presence with every bit of her fairy strength and the golden light now within Aarav.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRYqJYCvTF
Timbon lost again.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJocBBzqGm
Now he had only one chance left.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwQrRdsqyh
The competition began.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4b3Xjg3C1
One by one, students performed. Lights glimmered. Applause echoed. Lumi hovered above the hall, invisible, ready for war.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w9OUW2yS1
Then came Aarav’s turn.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhSo9xXxju
Shila gave him a warm hug before he walked up. He stepped onto the stage. He could see everyone — his friends, the bullies, his parents. Even the English teacher was staring in shock.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1FXdyZaar
Then, everything went dark.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicfqU0ZV1e
The mic cut. The speakers died. The hall filled with silence. A terrifying laugh echoed only in Aarav’s ears — Timbon’s final move.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufYjy8X12a
Back in Skaar, the emotion detector turned red. Aarav’s heartbeat pounded. Sweat rolled down his temple.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcLlbPCPHq
The chains around Morvena began to crack.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftejmL7Ts2
Lumi panicked. She didn’t know what to do. Then she looked at one of the dream-cameras — it pointed right at Aarav.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKPVkw251x
She rushed to Aarav’s bag, pulled out Dhruv’s photograph, and held it close to the camera.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVPaXugBKk
Aarav saw it.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTYo5NpbD
Then Lumi whispered in Dhruv’s voice:
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsRfAlXQ1V
> “Do it, Thambi.”
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFXx5DlGKN
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyN1LkD9nu
Something exploded in Aarav’s soul.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N9E1LPf2G
He stood tall. Loud and proud, he spoke:
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITBNRJxW5x
> “A very good evening to our respected Principal, all the teachers, parents, and my beloved friends. Today, I would like to read a poem that I prepared.”
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzp1fe5MCf
Right at that moment, the mic came back to life — thanks to the English teacher, who quickly rushed to reconnect the wires backstage. Her hands trembled, but her eyes were firm. For the first time, she believed in him.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDPQj8rEjm
Aarav began:
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYmqQQ0gIn
---
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoZ7OvZmHF
"In silent halls, I feared the crowd,
My voice, too soft, was never loud.
The shadows laughed, they watched me fall,
I built a wall, I hid from all.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3rIJtdTtF
But light appeared through hands held tight,
My friends stood tall and gave me sight.
I learned that courage grows with trust,
And broken hearts can rise from dust."
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eUB1pRvmi
---
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAcAPNuTC2
Every word struck like magic. The crowd held their breath.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIK7onJ5Vb
Even Kali and David stood up first and clapped. The applause rolled in like thunder.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMNPVEL7Lf
Back in Skaar, Morvena screamed. But instead of breaking free, her chains tightened even more. Timbon, exhausted and powerless, was now chained too — caught in the same prison.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3ZPWxxeZp
In the real world, Aarav’s mother cried tears of joy. His father hugged him, apologised, and said with pride:
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4JbZxCXnk
> “You’ve made us proud, son.”
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUmaoXI9An
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s5gIplg97
The results came in.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7t4VGDt1Z
Aarav won.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDLryEsCVv
As he received the trophy, he thanked Hari’s mother, Shila, Rajiv, Hari, the bullies, his parents — and even his English teacher.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGuDpu7zfy
She stepped forward and said:
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBglQm7lb4h
> “I’m sorry, Aarav. I’ll never doubt you again.”
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMglVUoMb3r
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFV9yr6mzy
And his mother whispered gently:
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyLthXwWFU
> “Always believe in yourself.”
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZeJPQTKno
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDdzuumPHd
That night, Aarav tore every page filled with fear and wrote a new one:
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCLOdsNQfg
> “I will always believe in myself. No matter what.”
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GI02bTsM5
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbPWUxPvBn
He slept peacefully for the first time in months.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg4UAT7Fc9
And in the Dream Realm, Lumi looked at the sky — no dark clouds, no chaos. The doorway to dreams was wide open.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0BjF0OEO8
So she gave Aarav his very first dream — of becoming a successful poet and writer.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQNwUPIApz
The Elderly appeared beside her.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zaqmJ6pyh
> “You’ve done well, Lumi. It’s time to return.”
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CzMaIMCWw
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO4jf1Cfgl
> “Please… can I stay one more day?” Lumi asked with soft eyes.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAkkrZdAou
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ7yWloe5r
> “Just one,” the Elderly smiled.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gWXrG5CBc
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TVAfQCTek
The next day was magical.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAS5akMcNe
Aarav’s parents gifted him a brand new Steel Tiger superhero-themed jacket. The school bus driver handed him a chocolate bar with a wink. The bullies waved and invited him to hang out.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTY6qCUAOo
And Shila smiled and said,
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWcHkqndir
> “You’re my hero,”
handing him the Steel Tiger jacket.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg8CIfG064
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52WgqWHrnV
In class, the teacher waited patiently as Aarav read aloud — and when he finished, the whole class applauded
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hr40xIsWg
.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIMyOxZb5R
Lumi saw it all.
482Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzsXb9VDu0
Smiling with joy, she flew high into the sky, her wings sparkling, and began her journey back to Dreamlight Fairyland.
