With Love, From the Other Side

Unicorns, Dragons and Ghosts

As dawn broke, soft rays of sunlight filtered through the kitchen window, illuminating the old house with a gentle glow. In a cozy nook by the window, Briallyn sat on the plush rug, her chubby fingers clutching her favorite stuffed unicorn.

Syrenety leaned against the doorframe, watching her sister with a warm smile. With her long hair cascading like a waterfall and a sparkle in her eyes, she radiated creativity and joy.

"What are you playing today, little star?" Syrenety asked, her voice soft and encouraging.

Briallyn looked up, her face lighting up with a big grin. "Pwincess!" she exclaimed, holding Sparkle high.

Syrenety chuckled, settling down beside her. "A princess and her unicorn! What adventures will you have?"

"Sing!" Briallyn declared, swaying back and forth. "Sing to the dwagons!"

Syrenety's heart swelled with affection. "That sounds wonderful! Your song will make them happy."

With a determined nod, Briallyn stood up, her dress twirling. She began to sing in her sweet, childlike voice, filling the room with joyful sounds.

"Sparkle, come sing!" she said, hugging the stuffed unicorn close.

Syrenety watched, smiling as Briallyn giggled and danced, her laughter echoing like music.

"Story? Dwagons?" Briallyn asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.

"Oh, I know some!" Syrenety replied playfully. "Some dragons are big and scary, but some are nice and love to play!"

Briallyn clapped her hands, bouncing with excitement. "Pwease tell me!"

"Okay!" Syrenety said, pulling Briallyn into her lap. "Once, there was a dragon named Ember. She had shiny scales and loved to fly high in the sky," Syrenety lifted a toy in the air, mimicking the flight Ember would make. "But she was lonely because the other animals were scared of her."

"Why?" Briallyn's eyes widened.

"Because she looked big and fierce!" Syrenety explained. "But one day, a brave girl named Lila brought her flowers and sang a sweet song. Ember realized she could be friends with people too."

"Friends!" Briallyn echoed, her face lighting up. "Like me and you!"

"Exactly!" Syrenety grinned. "They played together, and Ember was no longer lonely. She learned that kindness can change everything." She brought another toy in to play with the Ember toy, making them dance around.

Briallyn giggled, her imagination ignited. "I want sing dwagons!"

"You already do, little one. Your laughter and songs bring so much joy," Syrenety said, wrapping her arms around her sister.

With a burst of energy, Briallyn jumped up, spinning around in delight. "Let's find a dwagon! Sing to it!"

"Maybe we will," Syrenety replied, her eyes sparkling. "You never know what magic is waiting around the corner."

As the two sisters continued their play, the house hummed with life. In that moment, the past and present intertwined, creating a beautiful tapestry of love, laughter, and adventure.

Suddenly, Briallyn twirled, her laughter echoing through the room, and the air shimmered with a soft glow. The three ghosts emerged, drawn by the joy of the moment. Gwen floated in first, her spirit radiating warmth. Freddie, the exuberant bootlegger, followed closely, a wide grin on his face. Finally, Bianca, the graceful jazz singer, glided in, her presence like a melody.

"Good morning, little star!" Gwen said, her voice soothing. "What adventures are you having today?"

Briallyn's eyes widened in delight. "Look! Sparkle! Gwandma Gwen! Freddie! Bee-anca!" she squealed, waving her unicorn excitedly.
