Rupy

Once upon a time, in a vast and sprawling timber bulging with life, there lived a various array of catcalls. Among them was a small but spirited robin named Ruby. Ruby was a critter of bottomless curiosity, her bodies fluttering with excitement at the prospect of each new day.

From the moment she incubated from her bitsy egg nestled in a cozy nest grandly over in the branches of an ancient oak tree, Ruby's thirst for adventure knew no bounds. She'd eagerly hear to the stories of the elder catcalls, tales of far- out lands and retired prodigies staying to be discovered. As she grew, Ruby's bodies grew stronger, and she spent her days exploring every niche and fissure of the timber. She soared through the cover, danced between the branches, and danced upon the breath with a grace that belied her youth. But amidst all her wanderings, there was one place that Ruby held dearer to her heart than any other – the shimmering lake that lay at the heart of the timber.

It was a place of unequaled beauty, where the water sparkled like diamonds in the sun and the air was filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers. Every morning, as the first shafts of dawn painted the sky in tinges of pink and gold, Ruby would fly to the lake's edge and perch upon a slender wimp. There, she'd watch in admiration as the world awakened around her, the gentle ripples of the water mirroring the colors of the sky. It was at the lake that Ruby met her dearest friend – a wise old owl named Oliver. Oliver was a critter of the night, his eyes keen and sharp, his feathers as dark as the night sky. Despite their differences, Ruby and Oliver participated a deep bond, forged through innumerous exchanges beneath the stars. Together, they would sit by the water's edge,

participating stories and dreams as the moon cast its tableware glow upon the lake. Oliver would regale Ruby with tales of the stars and the secrets they held, while Ruby would weave tales of the prodigies she had seen in the timber below. But as the seasons changed and the days grew shorter, a shadow fell upon the timber – the onset of downtime. The air grew cold, and the leaves turned tones of gold and sanguine before falling to the timber bottom. Ruby felt a stitch of sadness in her heart, knowing that soon the lake would indurate over, and her cherished friend Oliver would retreat to his cozy nest high in the treetops.

As the first snowflakes began to drift lazily from the sky, Ruby made a decision – she'd embark on a trip to find the legendary Valley of Eternal Spring, a place where downtime's bite couldn't reach. With a determined film of her bodies, she bid farewell to Oliver and set off into the unknown. For days, Ruby flew lifelessly across the vast breadth of the timber, her heart filled with stopgap and determination. She faced fierce storms and unfaithful winds, but she pressed on, driven by the study of chancing a place where she could escape the icy grip of downtime.

Eventually, after what felt like an eternity, Ruby saw a hint of light on the horizon – the Valley of Eternal Spring. It was a place of stirring beauty, where the flowers bloomed time- round and the air was filled with the sweet scent of blossoms. With a joyful cry, Ruby descended upon the vale, her bodies beating in time with her racing heart. She had set up her sanctuary, a place where she could be free to explore and discover to her heart's content. But as she settled into her new home, Ruby set up herself allowing of her dear friend Oliver, alone in the cold and darkness of the timber. With a heavy heart, she made a decision – she'd return to the timber and bring Oliver to the vale, where they could spend the downtime months together in warmth and comfort. And so, with a renewed sense of purpose, Ruby set off formerly again, her bodies carrying her fleetly through the sky. She knew that the trip would not be easy, but she also knew that with determination and fellowship by her side, anything was possible. As she flew, Ruby allowed

of all the adventures they would have together in the Valley of Eternal Spring – exploring retired clearings, dancing beneath the stars, and reposing in the warmth of the sun. And with each beat of her bodies, her heart swelled with expectation, for she knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, she'd face them with courage and love.
