The stars twinkled brightly in the night sky, their light reflecting in the calm lake. Olivia, sitting on the dock, felt calm and at ease. She had been on a solo trip, and the peaceful surroundings had soothed her. She felt like all the worries of the world had melted away.

Her sister, Kate, called to her, holding up a drawing. "Look what Lily did!" she said, her voice filled with amusement.

Olivia's breath caught in her throat. There, in the drawing, stood a familiar figure. It was Sparkle, the mischievous sprite. The sight of him was like a homecoming. She smiled, feeling the warmth spread through her, and she felt ready to face anything.
