TAINTED MINDS

In the mystical realm of Cardobar, where the sun dipped into the horizon and painted the sky with hues of crimson and gold, the village of Brindlemark lay nestled within a valley. It was a place of ancient magic, where the air was sweet with the scent of blooming wildflowers and the sound of soft chimes carried on the breeze. In a tiny cottage on the outskirts of the village, a young woman named Lyra lived a simple life. She was a fairy, with delicate wings as transparent as glass and hair as bright as the stars. Lyra's nights were filled with a special kind of magic, for she was the Night Fairy of Cardobar, tasked with the sacred duty of weaving dreams for the sleeping villagers. As the moon rose high in the sky, Lyra prepared for her nightly journey. She slipped on her favorite cloak, woven from the silken threads of spider webs and the shimmering scales of moonbeams. With a gentle flutter of her wings, she took to the air, soaring above the thatched roofs of the village cottages as she made her way to the Dreamweaver's Glen. Little did Lyra know, tonight's journey would be different from all the others. Tonight, she would encounter a stranger who would change the course of her life forever...
