Title: The Wish of Wings
Cora and Ruky were orphaned siblings who had formed an unbreakable bond in their struggle to survive. As the older sister, Cora took on the role of a caregiver, finding solace in small joys while grappling with her gloomy demeanor. Ruky, on the other hand, was a bright light in her life—a cheerful, carefree spirit who often tested Cora's limits with his playful antics.
One fateful day, after Ruky's persistent teasing pushed Cora over the edge, she uttered a wish in frustration, "I wish you were really a crow, instead of just acting like one!" To her astonishment, the wish seemed to manifest overnight, and Ruky transformed into a crow, flapping his wings and soaring away into the sky.
Heartbroken and filled with regret, Cora realized the weight of her words as she chased after her brother. Days passed, filled with Cora's frantic attempts to reverse the wish. She searched for answers, consulted old tomes, and even sought the guidance of local mystics, all the while grappling with sorrow and self-reproach.
Amidst her despair, Cora learned to navigate her emotions more thoughtfully. She began to evaluate her feelings, understanding that in moments of frustration, she must tread carefully with her words. Meanwhile, Ruky, now a crow, was living in the joyful chaos of a flock—something that was both a source of happiness for Cora and pain for her heart.
Eventually, after days of searching and reflection, Cora awoke one morning to find Ruky back in his human form, his laughter ringing through the air as if no time had passed at all. They shared a relieved embrace, the bond between them stronger than ever. The siblings had weathered a storm of emotions, realizing that love and forgiveness are far more powerful than fleeting frustrations.
From that day forward, Cora vowed to temper her words and cherish the warmth of their shared existence, while Ruky promised to find the balance between mischief and kindness. Together, they embraced the beauty of their ordinary days, the memories of the past turning into lessons guiding their future.
