Lumi, her wings tucked close, peered nervously at the sky, eyes aglow in the dim light.
Echo bounced on his feet, wings fluttering with excitement.
Mira, adjusting her tiny moon-shaped glasses, surveyed the path ahead with calm intelligence.
"Oh… my wings feel wobbly. What if I get lost?"
"Lost? Not me! I’ll race you there!"
"Don’t flap too fast, Echo. We need to save our energy."
The bats’ parents nudged them gently toward the open sky.
[@ch_4]Bat Parents[/@ch_4_d]"Go on, little ones. The moonlight will guide you."[/@ch_4_d]
With trembling wings, Lumi, Echo, and Mira launch themselves into the cool night air.
They soar higher, passing glittering stars and weaving between soft clouds.
"Woo-hoo! I’m the fastest flapper in the sky!"
"Wait for me!"
A gentle star sprite glows brighter, floating beside Lumi, guiding her through the darkness.
"See, Lumi? Even the stars are helping you."
Lumi gazes in awe, her fears fading as wonder fills her heart.
"It looks like a castle made of moonbeams,"
The wide wooden doors swing open, creaking gently.
A wise old owl in round glasses sweeps out, lantern glowing warmly.
[@ch_5]Professor Hoot[/@ch_5_d]"Welcome, little ones. You’ve made it to Moonlight Bat School!"[/@ch_5_d]
Echo flaps excitedly through the hall, while Mira studies the shelves of glowing books.
Lumi steps lightly, her eyes wide with curiosity as moonlight streams through the tall windows.
"It’s so beautiful."
"Indeed. These halls have trained bats for hundreds of years."
"Tomorrow, your lessons begin,"
"But tonight, rest your wings. Every great journey starts with courage—and a good night’s sleep."
Mira smiles, settling into her hammock.
Lumi sighs, feeling comforted by the gentle glow of moonlight.
Echo mumbles, half-asleep, dreaming of races and flights.
"Maybe school won’t be so scary after all."
"Race you… in my dreams…"
"I can’t wait for the first lesson."
Under the gentle moonlight, their new adventure had just begun.
