a little story for sweet dreams
Once upon a timeโฆ
there was a person made from starlight and briny sea water
on a cold night, when the sky was blue and the snow clouds glittered with gritty ๆฐท (ใใใ/ice), a ray of moonlight shot through the blanket of ้ฒ (ใใ/ clouds). it punched a hole through the sky, and the smaller rays of starlight poured in.
they eagerly rushed to the ocean shores below, where they drank their fill of ๆฐด (ใพใ/ water), as they had been without it for several days, kept behind the clouds. All the rays left, back to the ๅค็ฉบ (ใใ"ใ/ night sky) except for one lone little ray, it came from a star quite far away, and spent longer than the others at their watering hole that was the sea. the sea, however, was lonely. It had been lonely for quite some time. There were no ้ญ(ใใใช/fish) yet, and the humans stuck to their land settlements. The only company it got was when the starlight came down to drink. So when it saw the rest of the herd of rays leave, it seized the opportunity.
great waves rolled over the surface, kneading and twisting across the air. The water clung to the small starlight ray, and it became entangled in the ๆตท (ใใฟ/ocean) . It was dragged down to the bottom of the sandy ocean floor. for three days, the little ray begged to return to itโs herd, itโs family, but the sea refused its pleas. but on the fourth day, the sea decided to listen, as the starlight was not giving it any ้ข็ฝใ (ใใใใใ/ interesting) conversation. that evening, as the moonlight pierced through the snow clouds and the ocean water, the sea made a deal.
if the starlight would leave a part of itself to stay on earth, and become a ไบบ้ (ใซใใใ/ human) then the ocean would set the rest of the ray free. The small ray of starlight agreed and after chipping a piece of itself with an old crab shell, it was released to return home.
meanwhile, the small human, born from starlight and in the ocean, became a beautiful warrior. They were neither boy nor girl, though the only boys and girls they met were sea creatures, since they lived their life under the waves. by the time the child had turned ไบๅ ใใ(ใซใใใใใ/20 years old) they had asked the only parent they knew, the water, if they could go on land. They had heard stories about humans, with two legs like them, but unable to breathe underwater, and they were desperate to see some. Parent Ocean reluctantly agreed, and allowed the person to go onto land. โBut first,โ they advised โyou will need a nameโ. And so the person, picked ๆๆตท (ใปใใใ/ stars&ocean), and introduced themselves as such when they ran into their first human, within a couple of minutes of walking ashore.
their first human was kind, and called herself Yuri, and they quickly bonded over their shared love of the ocean and sea life. im too tired to continue this now, so Iโll probably write more later <3
