As I explored the castle and the world around me, I was never alone. My companions, Kira and Cedric, had become my closest friends, each bringing their own charm to our little trio.
Kira was a stunning girl with flowing silver hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of moonlight. At seven years old, she stood a bit taller than me, her presence radiating a gentle warmth. Her striking red eyes sparkled with intelligence and curiosity, making her seem both mysterious and approachable at the same time. Kira had a playful spirit, often leading our adventures with an infectious enthusiasm. Despite her beauty, it was her kindness that truly captivated me; she had an innate ability to make everyone feel at ease, including me. I admired how she could find wonder in the smallest things, whether it was a snowflake dancing in the air or the intricate carvings on the castle walls.
Cedric, on the other hand, was a year older than Kira and had an air of confidence that came naturally to him. His tousled black hair framed a face that was both serious and playful, with deep red eyes that seemed to hold a universe of thoughts. At eight, he was already beginning to grow into his strength, often eager to show off his skills in swordplay and magic. Though he sometimes took on the role of protector, always looking out for Kira and me, Cedric also had a mischievous side. He loved to challenge me to races through the castle corridors, his laughter echoing as we dashed past statues and murals.
Together, the three of us formed an inseparable bond. Kira brought creativity and light, Cedric added a spark of adventure and camaraderie, and I found my voice and determination growing in their presence. Each day felt like a new adventure waiting to unfold, and I couldn't imagine my journey without them by my side.
