They say that some of the most beautiful things in life are the ones we cannot explain. This is the story of Rohan, a 19-year-old boy who had lost everything, only to find a mystery that would change his life forever.
Rohan’s life hadn't been easy. After losing his parents, he was left with nothing but a few memories and the weight of his family's debts. Seeking a fresh start and a cheaper place to live, he moved to a small village near the coast—a place whispered about in legends as being near the "Unknown Village."
A Chance Encounter at Sunset
One golden evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Rohan was walking through the lush grasslands near the shore. The view was breathtaking, but what caught his eye wasn't the sunset—it was a girl.
She looked about 18, standing perfectly still against the breeze. Her hair danced in the wind, and her eyes seemed to hold the reflection of the entire ocean. Rohan, who had never felt much of a connection to anyone, felt an immediate pull toward her. She was more beautiful than any actress or character he had ever seen.
Overcoming Fear
Usually shy, Rohan felt a sudden burst of courage. He approached her and simply asked, "Who are you?"
The girl turned with a gentle smile. "I am Ria," she replied. As they spoke, Rohan found himself opening up, telling this stranger about his life, his struggles, and his loneliness. Instead of judging him, Ria laughed—a sound so pure it made the rising moon seem even brighter.
"Will you come with me?" Ria asked as the moonlight began to silver the sea. "Or would you rather go back home?"
Rohan looked back at the mainland, where only hardship awaited him. Then he looked at Ria. "I have no one waiting for me," he said. "Maybe I can find work in your village?"
Ria’s smile grew mysterious. "If you come once, you might never be able to go back. But my parents would be happy to have you."
The Midnight Voyage
Guided by a moon that seemed impossibly large and bright, they reached a small boat tied to the shore. Despite the warnings of a "cursed village" he had heard from the locals, Rohan stepped onto the boat. He trusted her.
The journey was strange. Though the "Unknown Village" was said to be far, they reached a large, shimmering island in just over an hour. The water was calm, and the air felt different—thicker with the scent of salt and ancient magic.
"Is it always this fast?" Rohan asked, amazed.
"The moon is bright tonight," Ria whispered. "It lights the way for those who are truly seeking a home."
A New Beginning
As the boat touched the sands of the island, Rohan realized he wasn't just entering a new village; he was entering a new world. A world where his past didn't matter, and where a girl named Ria was waiting to show him what it truly meant to belong.
