In the quiet village of Brilliant Valley, hidden among mountains, something strange happened every full moon. The stars seemed to dance and form slowly changing figures in the sky. While the adults considered it a mysterious but normal phenomenon, Sofia, Lucas and Thomas, three curious friends, decided to investigate.

One night, they climbed the old clock tower, the highest point in the village, hoping to find some clue. There they discovered a symbol carved in the wood: a sun surrounded by rays. Although they did not understand its meaning, Thomas drew it in his notebook, certain that it was an important clue.

The next day, they visited Mr. Theodor, an old man who lived at the edge of the forest and who knew all the legends of the place. When he saw the drawing, his eyes lit up. “That is the emblem of the Circle of Stars,” he said. “An ancient legend tells that at the top of the highest mountain there is a Celestial Mirror, a magical artifact created by the guardians of the stars. On full moon nights, it reflects the moonlight, creating patterns in the sky. But to find it, they must follow a map engraved on the stones of the forest.”

Excited, the children set off into the forest in search of the marked stones. After hours of searching, Sofia discovered a moss-covered stone with markings similar to the symbol of the tower. When they cleaned it, they found a rudimentary map that pointed the way to the top of the mountain. Without hesitation, they gathered supplies and, with the help of Mr Theodor, they set out on the climb.

The path was steep and the air became cold as they climbed. Just as the full moon began to shine, they reached the top and found a clearing surrounded by trees. In the center, hidden under vines, was the Celestial Mirror. The giant disk had ancient inscriptions that began to glow faintly under the moonlight. Carefully, the children cleaned the surface, and the mirror reflected the moonlight back into the sky. Suddenly, the stars shone brightly, forming figures that seemed to tell ancient stories.

Mr Theodor explained that the Celestial Mirror had been created by the ancient inhabitants of Bright Valley, as a reminder of their roots and their connection with the stars. “Every figure you see tells a legend from the past,” he said. “It is a gift from the guardians of the stars so that we never forget our traditions and origin.”

Back in the village, the children shared their discovery with everyone. Since then, full moon nights became a special event. The villagers gathered to observe the sky, share stories and remember that their history was written in the stars.

The adventure of Sofia, Lucas and Thomas not only solved the mystery, but united the village, teaching them that preserving legends and traditions is a priceless treasure. Since then, the Celestial Mirror became a symbol of pride and unity for Bright Valley.

Message of the story: Curiosity and teamwork can unravel great mysteries, but the most important thing is to remember and value our roots and traditions.
