Princess Hannah and the Shimmering Bird

Princess Hannah discovered a shimmering bird in the forest depths that wouldn't leave her side.

She offered it glowing berries from her pouch and watched in wonder as it grew with each bite.

Within moments the creature towered above her, its wings spanning wider than castle

gates. Hannah climbed onto its soft feathered back and they soared into the clouds

together. They glided over ancient forests where treetops brushed her feet,

crossed rushing rivers that sparkled like diamonds, swept past snow capped mountains

touching the sky, and dove through roaring waterfalls that created rainbows in the mist.

The bird had become her greatest companion and the kingdom below looked like a beautiful dream.
