After her performance, Nia Olivia stood by the window of the castle, looking at the sky. Its soft glow filled the room and made long shadows on the floor. She couldn't stop thinking about her performance—the dance, the song, and the secret she was keeping. Alisha is talking to her sister Alinana and another guest in the castle. The Queen always asks performers to entertain the guests, not just for their enjoyment but also as an offering to God.
Nia's father, Mark, quietly walked towards her, his eyes showing both pride and concern.
"Nia," he said, "you danced beautifully tonight. But there's something special about your dancing that goes beyond what we can see."
She turned to face him, feeling nervous. "What do you mean, Father?"
Mark looked serious. "Nia, our family has a long history and an important responsibility. We are guardians of an ancient truth, a secret passed down through generations in sacred texts."
Nia's curious questioned. "What truth?"
Mark answered, "There was a dance inspired by the Holy Spirit... a dance which exalted God!"
Nia leaned closer, captivated. "A dance?"
"Yes," Mark said. "This dance is a way to fight the enemy. The dance of Heart of Worship."
Nia's mind raced. "And what does this have to do with me?"
