Princess Aura and the Lights Within

Once upon a time, in a kingdom full of colors, lived Princess Aura. She was known for her magic sight. She could see glowing lights that showed people's weaknesses. Aura used her gift to help her people grow stronger.

Each person had a different light. Red for anger, blue for sadness, gray for fear. Aura would talk to them, help them understand, and the lights would dim, making them happier and braver.

One day, a group came to Aura's castle. But they were not there for help. They came in anger and fear, afraid of what Aura could see. And so, they knocked down the castle doors.

Angry and fearful, some people attack Aura's castle.

Aura was shocked. She never thought her gift would cause harm. As the castle doors fell, she knew she had to escape. She fled into the night, her heart heavy.
