Lana — The Whisper of the Wind (Part 2)
Months passed, but Elan could not forget Lana — the girl from the mountains who disappeared like morning mist. Her flute’s melody still echoed in his dreams, and her last words stayed carved into his heart:
“Some beauty is meant to remain a mystery.”
But Elan wasn’t ready to let her go. He returned to Seran Valley again and again, searching the woods, listening to the wind, waiting for a sign. The villagers watched him with quiet smiles. One old woman finally whispered to him:
“Those who truly listen… can still hear her.”
One evening, Elan sat by the same river where Lana once played her flute. He closed his eyes and let the silence wrap around him.
Then — he heard it.
A soft tune. Distant… but real.
He followed the sound through the forest, deeper than he’d ever gone before. The trees grew taller, the path vanished, but the music guided him. After what felt like hours, he reached a hidden glade — and there she was.
Lana.
But she looked… different.
Her hair shimmered like moonlight, her feet didn’t touch the ground, and her eyes sparkled like starlight. Elan realized in that moment — Lana wasn’t just part of the mountains.
She was the mountain.
A spirit. A guardian.
She smiled and spoke gently:
“You came back… not for answers, but for truth. That is why you can see me again.”
Elan asked, “Will you stay this time?”
Lana shook her head softly.
“I don’t belong to this world, Elan. But I will always be here — in the wind, in the trees, in the silence between your thoughts.”
And just like before, she vanished.
But this time, Elan didn’t feel sad.
He felt peace.
He finally understood: some love is not meant to be held — it is meant to be felt in every breath, every breeze, and every mountain whisper.
And so, the legend of Lana — the mountain’s spirit — lives on.
