Nothing to say, yet

In a secluded land, there was a waterfall named Kaimana. It was different from other waterfalls, flowing gently and hidden behind a curtain of spray. Alara, a young cartographer, dreamed of finding a hidden city behind the waterfall. One night, a butterfly led her to the breathtaking city, shimmering with moonstone and firefly light. Alara learned its secrets and decided to become its bard, sharing its beauty through her maps. In the heart of a forgotten land, shrouded in jade mist and guarded by ancient redwoods, slumbered a waterfall named Kaimana. Unlike its roaring brethren, Kaimana was a hushed symphony, its waters cascading down emerald moss-covered rocks with a whisper rather than a shout. Yet its allure ran deeper than its gentle song, for within its veil of spray danced legends as vibrant as the orchids clinging to the cliffside. One such legend spoke of a hidden city, woven from moonlight and woven whispers, nestled behind the falling curtain. Alara, a young cartographer with eyes the color of twilight, dreamt of finding this fabled metropolis. Every moonlit night, she'd sit at the waterfall's edge, tracing its secrets onto her parchment with charcoal kissed by starlight. One night, as Alara sketched the moonbeams refracting through the spray, a luminous butterfly, its wings spun from stardust, alighted on her hand. It fluttered, leading her deeper into the waterfall's embrace. Alara, her heart pounding like hummingbird wings, followed, oblivious to the chill and spray. Behind the cascading veil, a breathtaking spectacle unfolded. A city, shimmering with the luminescence of moonstones and fireflies, clung to the cliff face. Bridges of woven spider silk arched over jade pools, and houses carved from petrified wood pulsed with a warm, golden light. The air hummed with the sound of whispered stories and unseen laughter. As Alara stepped into this hidden haven, the butterfly transformed into a woman, her eyes pools of moonlight. Welcome, child of ink and wanderlust, she said, her voice like wind shines. We have awaited your arrival. Alara spent days in the moonlit city, learning its secrets. She deciphered ancient scrolls inscribed with starlight, tasted fruits that sang on the tongue, and danced with beings woven from mist and laughter. But a sliver of sadness lingered in her heart. Why is your city hidden? She asked the moonlit woman. Why not share your beauty with the world? The woman's smile dimmed, the world forgot the language of whispers, she explained. They chased thunderous roars, deaf to the tales carried on the breeze. Their greed would shatter our fragile light. Alara understood, she returned to the world, not to reveal the city's location, but to become its bard. Her maps, now imbued with whispers of moonlight and forgotten lore, spoke of the beauty that lay hidden, not to exploit, but to inspire reverence for the world's quiet wonders. Ka!
