Blue Sky
Why is the Sky Blue?
Did you know that the sky wasn’t always blue? The story goes thousands of years back. It all went like this…
It was just another day in Aika village. The sky was gray and dim(Put it here or remove it from myth). There weren’t a lot of people walking around town, and the only sounds heard were the soft autumn wind and rustling leaves. One girl, named Ai, was sitting alone on a knoll. Every day she hoped for a change in the village, as everything was always dark and gloomy. No bright colors existed, and the village lacked personality. Just then, a boy named Yu approached her.
“Staring at the sky, huh?” Yu asked.
Ai was startled by this. She rarely spoke to anyone outside of her family, but she tried to keep calm and answer back.
“Yes. Do you find it boring as well? I feel like something is missing.”
“It’s always been like that,” Yu replied. “Some people have tried to do something about it, but only one clue was found.”
“Oh?” Ai was surprised. “What is that clue?”
“It was a small stone tablet, inscribed with ancient writing. It states something about a crystal and a magical wizard. Sounds like someone’s idea of a joke, to me at least(Delete).” Yu shrugged.
Ai thought about what Yu said for a moment. Her mother always told her magic was real, and she believed her. Her mother also said that one day, the world will be filled with color. After all, her own mother wouldn’t lie to her, right? Ai and Yu continued to talk for the rest of the evening.
The next morning, Ai left her house at dawn for a stroll around town. At this time, no one was out and the village was silent. Walking slowly, Ai almost tripped on something in her path. She looked down and found a small crystal. She picked it up and put it in her pocket for safekeeping. Then Ai thought about her chat with Yu yesterday.
“Yu said something about a crystal and a wizard being linked to restoring color to the world, maybe this crystal is the very one from the prophecy?” Ai thought.
