Speaker 1 (00:24):
The Invisible Friend, A girl's imaginary friend turns out to
be a real guardian from a secret world. Chapter one,
The Whispering Shadow. Lena had always believed in magic, not
the kind found in story books, but the kind that
lived in the corners of her room when the lights
went out, in the wind, that carried secrets through the trees,
and most of all, in her best friend, Solas. Sola
(00:47):
had been with her for as long as she could remember.
He was tall and slender, with silver eyes that shimmered
like moonlight, and hair as dark as the midnight sky.
To everyone else, Sola's was just a figment of her imagine,
an invisible friend she had created when she was little.
But Lena knew better he was real. He whispered stories
(01:08):
of a world beyond hers, a place hidden between the
folds of the sky, where shadows had their own voices
and the stars were gates to other realms. But no
matter how much she asked, he never told her why
he had come to her. One stormy evening, as thunder
rolled across the sky and rain tapped against her window,
(01:28):
Lena sat on her bed, sketching Solas in her note book,
Why do you stay with me, she asked, looking up
at where she knew he was standing, even though no
one else could see him. Soulas hesitated, because you need me,
he said at last. Before Lena could ask what he meant,
the window burst open and the wind howled into her room.
(01:49):
But this was no ordinary storm. It carried whispers, voices
calling her name, and then she saw them. Dark figures
moved in the rain, their eyes glowing like embers. They
weren't human. Sola stepped in front of her. They've found you,
he murmured, We have to go now. Chapter two, The
(02:09):
Hidden Realm. Before Lena could protest, Solas reached out and
touched her forehead. The moment his fingers brushed her skin,
the world around her unraveled like a tapestry. Her room dissolved,
and they were falling through shadows, through stars, through endless
swirling light. When Lena opened her eyes, she was no
(02:29):
longer in her bedroom. She was standing in a city
of silver and sapphire, towers rising like frozen waves, bridges
of light stretching across an endless sky. The air shimmered
with magic, and creatures she had only seen in dreams
walked past her, as if she belonged there? Where where
are we? She breathed. Soulus turned to her, his silver
(02:52):
eyes filled with something she couldn't quite place. Pride, sadness, hope, home,
he said. Lena's heart pounded. Who's home? Solas gave her
a small smile yours. Before she could ask what he meant,
a voice rang out, a deep, echoing sound that seemed
to come from the very air itself. A woman stepped forward,
(03:15):
cloaked in flowing silver robes, Her eyes, just like Solas's,
gleamed like the moon. Welcome back, Princess, the woman said.
Lena froze, princess. Solas sighed, I was hoping to explain
this differently, the woman smiled. You were born here, Lena,
in the Kingdom of Umbra, But the shadow born, those
(03:38):
who lurk in the darkness, came for you when you
were just a baby. To keep you safe. We hid
you in the human world, where you would be protected
until you were strong enough to return. Lena shook her head.
That's not possible. I I have a family, a normal life.
Soulis lowered his gaze. It was never real, Lena. The
(04:01):
memories were placed in your mind to keep you safe.
But now the shadow Born have found you, and if
you don't accept who you truly are, they will destroy everything.
Lena took a shaky breath. This was too much, too big.
How could she be a princess of a world she
had never known, and how could she fight creatures she
had only seen in nightmares? But then she remembered the
(04:23):
way Solace had always been there, protecting her. She looked
into his silver eyes and knew deep down that he
had never lied to her. She wasn't just an ordinary girl.
She was something more, and she was ready to find
out what Chapter three, The Guardian's Oath. The next few
days were a blur of training and discovery. Lena learned
(04:45):
that she had power, real power, the ability to command
light and shadow. She trained with Solas, who was more
than just an invisible friend. He was her sworn guardian,
a warrior bound to her since birth. You were never alone, Lena,
he told her one evening, as they stood on the
palace balcony looking over the glowing city. I've always been
(05:08):
here waiting for the day you would remember. A part
of her still ached for the life she had left behind,
but another part, the part that had always believed in magic,
knew that this was where she truly belonged, and when
the shadow Borne returned, she would be ready, for she
was not just a lost girl. She was the Princess
of Umbra, and she had a kingdom to protect the
