Lyra
#WritcoStoryPrompt2
Lyra had always been a very curious person. She loved exploring the world around her and discovering new things. For as long as she could remember, she had spent her days wandering through forests, climbing mountains, and traversing deserts. She loved the way the natural world could surprise and amaze her in ways she had never imagined.
On this particular day, Lyra was out on one of her many adventures. She was hiking through a dense forest, following a small path that wound its way through the trees. As she walked, she kept her eyes peeled for any interesting sights or sounds.
Suddenly, a wet leaf fell on her shoulder, making her jump in fear. Startled, she shifted from her hiding place behind the bush and looked around to see what had caused the disturbance.
That's when she saw it - a small bird, perched on a branch just above her. It was chirping happily, its feathers ruffled from the rain that had been falling steadily all day.
Without hesitating, Lyra approached the bird carefully, lowering herself to the ground and inching closer. To her surprise, the bird didn't fly away. Instead, it tilted its head to one side, as if studying her.
Lyra sat there, watching the bird for what felt like hours. She noticed the way its feathers glimmered in the sunlight, even though it was still raining. She marveled at the way it moved, so delicate and graceful.
As she sat there, Lyra realized that this was exactly what she had been searching for all along - a moment of pure connection with the natural world. In that moment, she felt herself let go of all her worries and fears, and simply exist in the present.
Eventually, the bird took flight and soared away, disappearing into the misty forest. But Lyra stayed behind, feeling content and fulfilled. She knew that this was just the beginning of her journey and that there were endless wonders to discover. But for now, she was happy to simply be where she was, in the midst of the rain and the trees.
