Video - Guiding Light: A Stormy Beacon's Secret
As the storm raged outside, Elowen clutched the compass, its needle spinning wildly. The air inside the lighthouse felt charged, as if the walls themselves were alive with anticipation. She squinted through the rain-streaked window, searching the tumultuous waves for a sign. "Do you think it'll work?" asked Thorne, his voice barely audible over the howling wind. His eyes, sharp and bright, flickered with a mix of fear and hope. "We have no choice," Elowen replied, gripping his hand tightly. They were the only ones who could activate the lighthouse's ancient beacon, a power long forgotten. With a deep breath, they turned the compass, aligning it with the storm's heart. Light erupted from the lighthouse, slicing through the darkness like a blade. The ocean calmed, revealing a path that shimmered like liquid silver. Together, Elowen and Thorne watched as ships appeared on the horizon, guided safely to shore. Relief washed over them, their bond stronger than ever. The storm had tested them, but their courage had prevailed. As the first ship docked, its crew cheered, unaware of the magic that had saved them. Elowen and Thorne shared a quiet smile, knowing their secret was safe—at least for now.
