The Starflower and the Silent Prince
Once upon a time, in a kingdom where the stars whispered secrets to the wind, there lived a prince named Elian. He was kind and brave, but he had never spoken a single word since birth. Some said he was cursed; others believed he was simply listening to the world more deeply than anyone else.
One evening, as the sky bloomed with stars, a glowing flower fell from the heavens and landed in the royal gardens. The gardeners called it a “Starflower.” Its petals shimmered with light, and at night, it hummed a lullaby only Elian could hear.
Every night, the prince visited the flower. Though he never spoke, he played his flute for it, and the flower’s glow would dance with the notes. The kingdom, once plagued by sadness, began to heal. Crops grew, children laughed, and peace reigned.
But far away, a jealous sorceress named Morritha heard of the Starflower’s magic. She flew to the castle on a stormcloud and tried to steal it. The moment she touched its petals, the flower wilted, and the sky darkened.
Prince Elian stepped forward, silent but calm. He placed his flute to his lips and played a melody so full of sorrow and hope that even Morritha froze in awe. Then, for the first time, Elian spoke.
“Beauty shared with love cannot be stolen.”
The flower bloomed again, brighter than ever, and Morritha vanished in a gust of wind. Elian’s voice, though soft, was filled with power. From that day on, he spoke only when truly needed, and his words were always wise.
The kingdom thrived, guided by the prince who listened, played, and spoke from the heart.
And so, the tale of the Starflower and the Silent Prince was told for generations, a reminder that silence can hold great strength—and love, greater magic than any spell.
