The Star of Mirror-Shadow Spring Deep within the misty Zagros mountains, hidden from every map, lay a secret village called Naghsh-e-Noor—“The Pattern of Light.” The villagers believed that each night, a star fell from the sky and sank into one of the sacred springs. These stars, they said, carried memories from other worlds. One day, a girl named Homa, enchanted by tales of the heavens, decided to find one of these fallen stars. Armed with a lantern made of glow-flower light and a map drawn from her grandmother’s dreams, she set out toward the spring called Mirror-Shadow—a place where, legend claimed, you wouldn’t see your reflection, but your future. When Homa reached the spring, a small blue star shimmered beneath the water’s surface. She reached out and touched it. Time froze. Suddenly, she found herself in a city where trees recited poetry, buildings changed shape with people’s emotions, and birds delivered love letters from distant galaxies. But it wasn’t just a dream. The star had opened a gateway to another realm. Homa chose to stay in that world. Yet every night, through the mountain winds, she sent stories back to Naghsh-e-Noor. And the villagers gathered by the spring to hear the tales of the star that once touched a girl’s hand—and changed everything.
