Sir Lucas Alegend is a kind inventor. He lives near the Ether Forest. He wears a bright blue coat. He carries his tool bag. Each day he walks in the forest. Tall trees rise above him. Soft moss cushions his steps. Birds sing sweet songs. One morning Lucas works on a small windmill. He uses his shiny wrench. He tightens each screw. The windmill turns with a gentle hum. Lucas smiles with pride. Then he snaps his wrench shut into his bag. He waves goodbye to the windmill. He steps on a soft stone. He slips. The bag flips. The wrench falls out. He does not notice. Lucas hums a happy tune. He walks on the forest path. He hums and whistles. He does not feel his bag is lighter. His wrench is gone. Suddenly a soft voice calls from the trees. A pale green shape drifts near. It is a Tree Spirit. It glitters with tiny lights. The Spirit tilts its head. "Hello, Sir Lucas," it whispers. "I see you lost something." Lucas stops. He looks around. He searches his bag. Then he feels worried. "I lost my shiny wrench," he says. His voice is small. "I need it to finish my windmill." He frowns. The Tree Spirit nods. It points with a glowing finger. It floats ahead on the path. Lucas follows. They move under long branches. Sunlight sifts through leaves. They cross a sparkling stream. They leave behind a patch of ferns. The forest feels alive. Tiny flowers sway in the breeze. Lucas holds his bag tight. But suddenly the air chills. A shadow falls across the trail. A tall figure steps into view. It wears a dark cloak. Eyes glow red. It is the Spellcaster. "Looking for this?" it hisses. A hand holds up the wrench. The Spellcaster flicks its fingers. The wrench glows in midair. Lucas takes a step back. The Spellcaster laughs. The sound echoes through the trees. Lucas is afraid. He shakes a little. The Tree Spirit flares bright. It touches Lucas on the shoulder. It whispers, "Be brave, friend. I stand with you." Lucas breathes deep. He feels calm again. He steps forward. He raises his hand. He uses a small flash from his pocket lamp. Light beams shine from his coat. The light glints off the wrench. The Spellcaster blinks. Lucas sees his chance. He dashes forward. The Tree Spirit glows behind him. Together they move like a team. They reach the Spellcaster in one leap. The Spellcaster yelps. It drops the wrench. The tool falls on soft moss. Lucas catches it in his hand. He holds it close. It feels warm. The Spellcaster trembles. It twirls its cloak. Then it nods once. It melts into the shadows. The red eyes fade away. Silence returns. Lucas breathes out. He thanks the Spirit. He pats the Tree Spirit on the head. The Spirit bows and glows softly. Lucas feels happy. They walk back to the windmill. The trees seem to cheer. Birds trill in bright tones. Flowers lift their petals. Lucas tightens each screw again. The windmill spins in the breeze. It sings a gentle song. Lucas claps his hands. The Tree Spirit dances in the leaves. Lucas smiles wide. He says, "Thank you for your help. I could not do this alone." The Spirit glows one last time. Then it drifts away. Lucas waves goodbye. He turns home with his wrench and his bag. He hums the happy tune again. The forest seems to hum with him. Now each time he works, he feels joy. He remembers the Spirit and the brave deed. He knows he can be kind and brave. He steps home in the golden light. He holds his wrench tight. He dreams of new inventions. He feels warm inside. The end. Lucas jumps. Yay!!!!
