Fairy tales for young and old ~ English version

The blind princess

 Once upon a time in the enchanting kingdom of Avaloria, there lived a young and uncertain princess named Lilah. Unlike the other royal children, Lilah was born blind, and this filled her heart with doubt and insecurities. She often wondered how she could fulfill her role as a princess and contribute to the kingdom when she couldn't even see the world around her.

One fateful day, a wicked sorceress named Morgana unleashed a spell of eternal darkness upon the land. Thick shadows enveloped the kingdom, rendering its people helpless and fearful. The once vibrant kingdom now seemed like a desolate and terrifying place.

But amidst the gloom, Lilah discovered a newfound sense of purpose. She realized that her blindness, which had always been seen as a weakness, could now become her strength. While everyone struggled to navigate through the darkness, Lilah had spent her whole life living in it. She knew the intricacies of the kingdom by heart, relying on her other senses to guide her every step.

With determination burning in her heart, Lilah embarked on a courageous journey through the pitch-black kingdom. Her fingers traced the familiar patterns of the castle walls, and her ears honed in on the faint cries of the frightened townsfolk. She became their beacon of hope, inspiring them to trust in her unique abilities.

As Lilah ventured deeper into the darkness, she encountered treacherous obstacles. The sorceress had summoned fierce creatures to guard her spell, hoping to prevent anyone from undoing her nefarious work. But Lilah, armed with her unwavering spirit and heightened senses, overcame each challenge with grace and bravery.

While others stumbled in the darkness, Lilah glided through with ease. She sensed the vibrations of the creatures' movements, heard the whispers of their breath, and felt the urgency in their presence. Her blindness, once seen as a hindrance, had honed her other senses to a remarkable degree, granting her an advantage in this battle against the sorceress.

Finally, after countless trials and tribulations, Lilah reached the heart of the kingdom, where Morgana's dark magic was at its strongest. The sorceress, sensing Lilah's presence, unleashed her most potent spell, hoping to defeat the blind princess once and for all.

But Lilah, with unwavering determination, tapped into the depths of her inner strength. She closed her eyes, not needing them to see, and connected with the energy of the world around her. She felt the love and support of the people she had inspired, the courage and determination that burned within her own heart.

With a surge of power, Lilah unleashed a wave of light that shattered Morgana's spell. The darkness dissipated, and the kingdom of Avaloria was bathed in a brilliant radiance. The people rejoiced, their gratitude overflowing for the princess who had triumphed against all odds.

Lilah, now hailed as the Blinded Heroine of Avaloria, became a symbol of resilience and empowerment. Her journey had taught her and the kingdom that strength lies not in what one lacks, but in how one embraces their unique qualities. She had transformed her doubt into unwavering confidence and proved that even in the darkest of times, one can find their strength within.

And so, Princess Lilah continued to rule with compassion and wisdom, guiding Avaloria into an era of unity and understanding. Her story spread far and wide, reminding everyone that it is not our limitations that define us, but how we rise above them.
