Next day:

Sophia stormed into Luna's room, her blonde ponytail bouncing with each step. "Luna, I need to talk to you about something!"
Luna looked up from her guitar, her fingers pausing mid-strum. "What's up, Sophia?"
Sophia flopped onto Luna's bed, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement. "I had the craziest dream last night! I was flying over this amazing landscape, and I saw creatures that looked like they were made of pure light!"
Luna's curiosity was piqued. "That sounds incredible! Did you feel scared or excited?"
Sophia grinned mischievously. "Excited! I felt like I was a part of something magical. And guess what? I think it's connected to those weird markings on Jooan and Zuna's arms!"
Luna's eyes widened in surprise. "What do you mean?"
Sophia leaned in, her voice conspiratorial. "I think they're connected to our family, Luna. I think we're all part of something bigger than we realize!"
As Sophia's words hung in the air, Luna felt a shiver run down her spine. She had always sensed that there was something special about their family, but she had never imagined anything like this!

Jooan sat on a cliff overlooking a vast, mystical landscape. His eyes gleamed with a deep sadness as he stared out at the world he once knew.
"Jooan, what's wrong?" Zuna asked, appearing beside him.
Jooan sighed, his voice barely above a whisper. "I miss our world, Zuna. I miss the beauty and magic of our homeland."
Zuna placed a gentle hand on Jooan's shoulder. "We'll find a way back, Jooan. I promise."
Jooan nodded, but his eyes remained fixed on the distant horizon.
As they sat in silence, Jooan's thoughts drifted to his past. He remembered the thrill of exploring the unknown realms, the rush of discovering hidden wonders. But most of all, he remembered the pain of leaving behind everything he loved.
"Zuna, do you think we'll ever find a new home?" Jooan asked, his voice laced with longing.
Zuna's eyes sparkled with determination. "We will, Jooan. We'll find a place where we can belong, where we can be ourselves."
Jooan smiled, his eyes gleaming with hope. "You always know how to make me feel better, Zuna."
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Jooan and Zuna sat in comfortable silence, watching the stars twinkle to life in the night sky.
Jooan's eyes glazed over as he stared out at the horizon. Zuna's words echoed in his mind, "We'll find a way back, Jooan. I promise."
Suddenly, Jooan's mind was transported back to his past, to the day that changed everything.
*Flashback*
Jooan was standing in a grand hall, surrounded by his people. He was being honored for his bravery and achievements. But as he looked out at the crowd, he saw the disappointment in their eyes.
"You're abandoning us, Jooan," his father said, his voice heavy with sorrow. "You're leaving us when we need you most."
Jooan tried to explain, to make them understand. But they wouldn't listen.
In the end, Jooan made the painful decision to leave, to explore the unknown realms and find his own path.
*Present*
Jooan's eyes refocused on the present, and he saw Zuna's concerned expression.
"Jooan, what's wrong?" he asked,
Jooan took a deep breath, trying to shake off the memories. "Just the past, Zuna. It still haunts me."
Zuna nodded understandingly. "We'll face it together, Jooan. We'll find a way to heal and move forward."
Jooan smiled weakly, grateful for Zuna's support.
