The day arrived. Lumi was ready.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzkkt19gAa
Aarav’s heart was already racing.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v6kmFGHXV
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx8ukIROZU
But far from their joy, Lumi was on full alert.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ogIs4sumy
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ2OyTZfWA
Her first guess was right.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zFIsP0C9W
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMebjvsP2cT
But Lumi was faster.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimeURQBXdN
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoFrSJ5N5J
Crisis avoided. Shila was safe — and later that morning, she joined Aarav at Hari’s house to keep him smiling.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0oxNl4WGN
But the troll wasn’t done yet.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPvBbMhyGL
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacqdgC4Qlv
On his way home, something unexpected happened.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCBsdz9C5Q
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oENkXwjT3
For the first time, Aarav saw their pain. No smirks. No pride. Just scared kids.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBbBEEDIcu
Aarav, Shila, Rajiv, and Hari stepped in.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVComIU9B1a
They defended the bullies.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOjii6XKUh
The boys looked at Aarav, speechless. Their faces were ashamed. They lowered their heads and whispered, “Sorry…”
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0JGT52xui
That very moment — gold light burst from Aarav’s chest, brighter than ever before. A protective shield shimmered around him.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHagdLg0gt
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TyaJ9B2r1
Timbon lost again.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8FzFtZRuu
Now he had only one chance left.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG5Y4JUxVm
The competition began.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnGZfooIsb
One by one, students performed. Lights glimmered. Applause echoed. Lumi hovered above the hall, invisible, ready for war.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcrddOOLYc
Then came Aarav’s turn.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZWy7wyvQr
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOoYbetcDs
Then, everything went dark.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtcrrZ72hn
The mic cut. The speakers died. The hall filled with silence. A terrifying laugh echoed only in Aarav’s ears — Timbon’s final move.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPXxItRNzx
Back in Skaar, the emotion detector turned red. Aarav’s heartbeat pounded. Sweat rolled down his temple.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkiMoYkazp
The chains around Morvena began to crack.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaft3M1ib03
Lumi panicked. She didn’t know what to do. Then she looked at one of the dream-cameras — it pointed right at Aarav.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg2GOxihdJ
She rushed to Aarav’s bag, pulled out Dhruv’s photograph, and held it close to the camera.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF34wCafB8
Aarav saw it.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTmmGnWH26
Then Lumi whispered in Dhruv’s voice:
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqQ2P2VUKt
> “Do it, Thambi.”
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BM7npOrCq
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ9LFNfLNj
Something exploded in Aarav’s soul.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ8DS6yeSl
He stood tall. Loud and proud, he spoke:
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVVNmDgnsI
> “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.”
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2PlVWVeGi
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlePxEnFRH6
Aarav began:
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrePi3e0iC
---
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjN8SEnhF7
"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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZA8TqII3e
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."
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14fejVf6q2
---
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj9zW6sUc8
Every word struck like magic. The crowd held their breath.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpcdgIuPwb
Even Kali and David stood up first and clapped. The applause rolled in like thunder.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi80ymOQaX
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbKn3QFjQT
In the real world, Aarav’s mother cried tears of joy. His father hugged him, apologised, and said with pride:
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmFizdE1Kk
> “You’ve made us proud, son.”
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbE1Sn0t3i
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwacOuIogM
The results came in.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9lSJ18kEF
Aarav won.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDkBm4Z6mT
As he received the trophy, he thanked Hari’s mother, Shila, Rajiv, Hari, the bullies, his parents — and even his English teacher.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBO5bXliCM
She stepped forward and said:
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDokmzYCUF
> “I’m sorry, Aarav. I’ll never doubt you again.”
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f4wpyKlpq
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HEFC9T3au
And his mother whispered gently:
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmALL9ETrL
> “Always believe in yourself.”
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlbyAHlRbJ
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCp3wIRjJl
That night, Aarav tore every page filled with fear and wrote a new one:
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAyTelmrzo
> “I will always believe in myself. No matter what.”
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjhtUDzMDn
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdrdNiXHtS
He slept peacefully for the first time in months.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8lC9Zq05c
And in the Dream Realm, Lumi looked at the sky — no dark clouds, no chaos. The doorway to dreams was wide open.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjJOM3Dn0i
So she gave Aarav his very first dream — of becoming a successful poet and writer.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl74olLGy1B
The Elderly appeared beside her.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZHg3K8fHb
> “You’ve done well, Lumi. It’s time to return.”
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKsQLEi2UR
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCgavm09Rl
> “Please… can I stay one more day?” Lumi asked with soft eyes.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgbwJsCY1w
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJYvszoh32
> “Just one,” the Elderly smiled.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6IHfTUmAr
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQUvR3qf8M
The next day was magical.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ZeCzXCQl
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.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlUQmj0dce
And Shila smiled and said,
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I9bhIl5iU
> “You’re my hero,”
handing him the Steel Tiger jacket.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKT9dlfk51
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh1oEU1MEl
In class, the teacher waited patiently as Aarav read aloud — and when he finished, the whole class applauded
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciKeSkFEga
.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uki30vfpn
Lumi saw it all.
464Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwK3woc45L
Smiling with joy, she flew high into the sky, her wings sparkling, and began her journey back to Dreamlight Fairyland.
