Everyone in Lavillia had heard of the golden crystals. Some had even touched them once — lightly, fleetingly. They were rare. They only grew from the earth on special nights, shimmering with a hushed glow beneath bright starlit skies.
Finding them wasn’t easy. You needed courage, focus, persistence — and very sharp eyes. Most Lavillians didn’t dare go crystal-hunting. The journey into the unknown felt too much. But for those who found them, the reward was real.
Golden crystals weren’t just beautiful. They held a strange, soft power. Keep one close — in a pocket, a pendant, a drawer — and your thoughts would clear. Truths about yourself would surface. Questions found answers. Curiosity softened. Imagination blossomed. The world around you became more honest. More beautiful.
Only one person had the right eyes, the daring heart, and the generosity to gather these crystals not just for himself, but for others. A wise old soul. He wandered into the night, found glowing fields of golden light, and brought the crystals home in woven baskets.
And then, one day, something shifted in him. He opened a small shop on Joy Meadow. He gave each crystal a modest price — just a few coins.
They began to spread. Into homes. Into hands. Into hearts. And the wise one — who had never thought of himself as a merchant — suddenly found himself thriving. Not just in wealth, but in connection.
Because when magic is shared with open hands, it grows. And when worth is named — without shame — it shines brighter.
