**With the night comes darkness, but also stars,**

**A sky of velvet, dotted with distant scars.**

**Each one a story, burning bright,**

**Whispering secrets in the still of the night.**

**Beneath their glow, the world stands still,**

**The quiet hum of time, an endless thrill.**

**Shadows stretch, but hope is near,**

**In the dark, the stars appear.**

**They shimmer softly, like forgotten dream...

**The moon hung low in the sky, a silver kiss upon the earth, its light casting a soft, ethereal glow over the quiet garden. Lila stood there, breathless, her heart fluttering like a bird caught in a net.

**A path unknown, a whispered dare,**

**The light ahead both faint and rare.**

**Each step resounds in hollow song,**

**The journey cruel, the night so long.**

**What calls me here, what force unseen,**
