The day arrived. Lumi was ready.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IAHdt8ayr
Aarav’s heart was already racing.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jWh8glgzo
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6NKGVPcDP
But far from their joy, Lumi was on full alert.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Hd7oAqxS
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxooJbYuxcl
Her first guess was right.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutoNduurhS
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI2mFf21YY
But Lumi was faster.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4jlVBXzbG
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3uiKctWrL
Crisis avoided. Shila was safe — and later that morning, she joined Aarav at Hari’s house to keep him smiling.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Iieu0APa
But the troll wasn’t done yet.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x6rrwVr8P
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Qw5CooqI
On his way home, something unexpected happened.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfV1XgCUHx
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J2UuobqEU
For the first time, Aarav saw their pain. No smirks. No pride. Just scared kids.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfSZdz4m1M
Aarav, Shila, Rajiv, and Hari stepped in.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMl2vQc7Pn
They defended the bullies.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuQnr9xe9Q
The boys looked at Aarav, speechless. Their faces were ashamed. They lowered their heads and whispered, “Sorry…”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaVAeyvj7q
That very moment — gold light burst from Aarav’s chest, brighter than ever before. A protective shield shimmered around him.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X4BlKs4Ju
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzC1wl42ej
Timbon lost again.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV0dsa7yID
Now he had only one chance left.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x6TFOEGrW
The competition began.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBfRHT62cl
One by one, students performed. Lights glimmered. Applause echoed. Lumi hovered above the hall, invisible, ready for war.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGoQPXJujZ
Then came Aarav’s turn.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWXBJJlyn1
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorcuR4BtWS
Then, everything went dark.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjUoOj3I0O
The mic cut. The speakers died. The hall filled with silence. A terrifying laugh echoed only in Aarav’s ears — Timbon’s final move.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa5YMZGOqc
Back in Skaar, the emotion detector turned red. Aarav’s heartbeat pounded. Sweat rolled down his temple.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7b8gp3UO7
The chains around Morvena began to crack.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1pCjv8wuX
Lumi panicked. She didn’t know what to do. Then she looked at one of the dream-cameras — it pointed right at Aarav.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTz42GAOhP
She rushed to Aarav’s bag, pulled out Dhruv’s photograph, and held it close to the camera.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkCJYS3o48
Aarav saw it.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HqTqVsDtY
Then Lumi whispered in Dhruv’s voice:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNZaERA70w
> “Do it, Thambi.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6WnFMD1MA
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVnW9YNZJS
Something exploded in Aarav’s soul.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQCXqpT0hb
He stood tall. Loud and proud, he spoke:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lhP0T2B5p
> “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.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLwm7EUzKx
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HJ6Ed3Apc
Aarav began:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajwfMmZjSn
---
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5FZsBDitH
"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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j5goxZWID
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."
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJywd0s7SA
---
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZgWVZ6oDd
Every word struck like magic. The crowd held their breath.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo5AQ0CMdD
Even Kali and David stood up first and clapped. The applause rolled in like thunder.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyyYoDoZ1W
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytPsu46zgf
In the real world, Aarav’s mother cried tears of joy. His father hugged him, apologised, and said with pride:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfPtQerRLr
> “You’ve made us proud, son.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK4IeTJr2E
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhIBIeMspl
The results came in.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Dk3wfAp3
Aarav won.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZyD83tH4w
As he received the trophy, he thanked Hari’s mother, Shila, Rajiv, Hari, the bullies, his parents — and even his English teacher.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnhfa0tsOA
She stepped forward and said:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnt4ozZ7DL
> “I’m sorry, Aarav. I’ll never doubt you again.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpWOw85BS8
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwau6CgyL0m
And his mother whispered gently:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe9u8s7jWU
> “Always believe in yourself.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptVHHMxOBQ
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k2qRgGw8E
That night, Aarav tore every page filled with fear and wrote a new one:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RvzRbhG99
> “I will always believe in myself. No matter what.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobJgHSQRWI
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNbVjGhPFK
He slept peacefully for the first time in months.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIdhCCIOIc
And in the Dream Realm, Lumi looked at the sky — no dark clouds, no chaos. The doorway to dreams was wide open.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79dvtQZlEm
So she gave Aarav his very first dream — of becoming a successful poet and writer.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiia6Sc27dV
The Elderly appeared beside her.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchLltmGd5O
> “You’ve done well, Lumi. It’s time to return.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4cEumE69o
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLZs2HM83b
> “Please… can I stay one more day?” Lumi asked with soft eyes.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTdaH7OpWl
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QYz3U8Edi
> “Just one,” the Elderly smiled.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmN8dxB8CA
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEmQqN3WeE
The next day was magical.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWc6Su3NSX
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.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRNVRuqept
And Shila smiled and said,
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvnxT6Ps36
> “You’re my hero,”
handing him the Steel Tiger jacket.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bWulMICC5
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXVrwLFn2m
In class, the teacher waited patiently as Aarav read aloud — and when he finished, the whole class applauded
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSMFeR6M7M
.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lghYP60yJ
Lumi saw it all.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FGDWKFdMF
Smiling with joy, she flew high into the sky, her wings sparkling, and began her journey back to Dreamlight Fairyland.
