The Girl and the Silver Wolf

In a snug village bordering a large forest, a cheerful girl named Lily packs bread and apples into her woven satchel each morning before wandering among the trees. One day, deep in the woods, she spots bright amber eyes peering from behind a bush: a shy silver wolf with shimmering fur, faint glowing markings and a vine collar holding a small blue stone. Unused to kindness from people, he is poised to flee, but Lily's soft words and a piece of fresh bread draw him near, and he shares his name, Silver.

After their snack, Silver speaks of a hidden path of glowing footprints leading to a lost shrine he has never dared follow alone. Lily proposes they go together, and the two step from print to print as though walking on stars, learning to trust each other along the way.
