"The Flower Under the Moon"
In the heart of the Great Plains, there lived a quiet girl named Teyah, whose name meant precious sky. She rarely spoke, but when she did, her words were like soft winds—gentle but powerful.
One night, during the Blue Moon—a rare moment when the sky glowed with mystery—Teyah walked alone beneath the stars, clutching a single cornflower in her hand. The elders watched from afar, whispering that the Spirit of the Sky had chosen her, though none yet knew why.
Teyah was not searching for answers. She was listening.
Under the stars, she heard the ancient hum of the universe. The moonlight spilled over her feathered headdress and beaded dress, as if the sky itself reached down to honor her stillness. She held the flower close to her heart—not just for beauty, but as a symbol.
It was said that cornflowers bloomed only where the Earth had once wept. She had found it growing in the most unlikely place—a field burned by drought, yet still alive with hope.
As she stood there, the stars began to pulse softly, and a presence filled the night. It was not a voice she heard, but a knowing.
"You are the keeper of balance," it whispered into her soul. "Speak not through words, but through the way you walk the world."
From that night on, Teyah became a silent guide to her people. She healed with herbs and dreams, with hands that understood grief and eyes that saw beyond time. Children would leave her blue flowers beneath her window, and the people came to call her
She Who Listens to the Sky.
They say if you walk the Plains beneath a Blue Moon and listen closely, you can still feel her there—silent, peaceful, holding a flower under the stars.
