The day arrived. Lumi was ready.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNS6Y3yTcz
Aarav’s heart was already racing.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf10ZHIHk9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmzixVY13g
But far from their joy, Lumi was on full alert.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aWyVdGOJp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuW1BvsPZb
Her first guess was right.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CRo9qZ7hv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyzTFGOvOX
But Lumi was faster.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYIjtWXtSJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI4CLdcpJz
Crisis avoided. Shila was safe — and later that morning, she joined Aarav at Hari’s house to keep him smiling.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeorXlw8Frd
But the troll wasn’t done yet.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkiflp6fpI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgoAvzsflV
On his way home, something unexpected happened.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYrAzsju8S
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbex8Rn1ai
For the first time, Aarav saw their pain. No smirks. No pride. Just scared kids.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68p9VyWcUu
Aarav, Shila, Rajiv, and Hari stepped in.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqyNUk8fPS
They defended the bullies.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb1IIOlfXr
The boys looked at Aarav, speechless. Their faces were ashamed. They lowered their heads and whispered, “Sorry…”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubm8dZ2oGa
That very moment — gold light burst from Aarav’s chest, brighter than ever before. A protective shield shimmered around him.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPoMK1YWRM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh0i89fzf6
Timbon lost again.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvYRHqMuI1
Now he had only one chance left.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY4hSRuyp0
The competition began.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQjV9ZLbOj
One by one, students performed. Lights glimmered. Applause echoed. Lumi hovered above the hall, invisible, ready for war.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2VNcOJpZ9
Then came Aarav’s turn.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTGHogsaKm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo8vYz1v7N
Then, everything went dark.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhY90mQ3gr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgzZ7XoU6E
Back in Skaar, the emotion detector turned red. Aarav’s heartbeat pounded. Sweat rolled down his temple.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKHg3Lqc2L
The chains around Morvena began to crack.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXq0UyIvPD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlc1s8vk8l
She rushed to Aarav’s bag, pulled out Dhruv’s photograph, and held it close to the camera.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhc5pXz81r
Aarav saw it.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEwA4aRTfY
Then Lumi whispered in Dhruv’s voice:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNN7UTtFfs
> “Do it, Thambi.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4rjPNiU4o
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMimma3Vk4
Something exploded in Aarav’s soul.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypIgCpEg9t
He stood tall. Loud and proud, he spoke:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYztLPhDMR6
> “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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fd274Xwg3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdzKsqYZoj
Aarav began:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExQwMntqkd
---
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD6xF0nRhI
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJOdr2Yd0D
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3zFDx2RBV
---
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9toou7Wf6s
Every word struck like magic. The crowd held their breath.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLmfx725pK
Even Kali and David stood up first and clapped. The applause rolled in like thunder.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqtqBLgg9v
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRl7FsWcIV
In the real world, Aarav’s mother cried tears of joy. His father hugged him, apologised, and said with pride:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud09u195ho
> “You’ve made us proud, son.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eoamkcn5p
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztGyqAhsrS
The results came in.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M2KuEmrBW
Aarav won.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr9hPTjXew
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPJwe3nreB
She stepped forward and said:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF69Sd4SH1k
> “I’m sorry, Aarav. I’ll never doubt you again.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFXnwCgQWF
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BUvpxAxhc
And his mother whispered gently:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNqDIjH8jD
> “Always believe in yourself.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF1voWdFVz
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIh0JO2M8W
That night, Aarav tore every page filled with fear and wrote a new one:
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4fXHC9RYp
> “I will always believe in myself. No matter what.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1VrP2K5Ev
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6orjLu5mmV
He slept peacefully for the first time in months.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXp1b6xs5M
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JGFoylDYr
So she gave Aarav his very first dream — of becoming a successful poet and writer.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XGR9ZT9e
The Elderly appeared beside her.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxffrRGyhp
> “You’ve done well, Lumi. It’s time to return.”
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkiWiqhOGV
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpft5WhJmpK
> “Please… can I stay one more day?” Lumi asked with soft eyes.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQeEH8tY1Z
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXum33JOAGi
> “Just one,” the Elderly smiled.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMViYzp8wXo
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIwQqaT3hj
The next day was magical.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlYUtg0pTg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2KWUyZK2k
And Shila smiled and said,
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI4aqPJSON
> “You’re my hero,”
handing him the Steel Tiger jacket.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu7yy7eCNC
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubpfPYXvak
In class, the teacher waited patiently as Aarav read aloud — and when he finished, the whole class applauded
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXcehOgATD
.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJvy8JCOto
Lumi saw it all.
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzifQk2aNC
Smiling with joy, she flew high into the sky, her wings sparkling, and began her journey back to Dreamlight Fairyland.
