A Zhilakai Kiddie Corner Original by Thalaria

Once upon a space...
in the quiet corner of a gentle galaxy,
there lived a little comet named Lumi.

Lumi was small, round, and soft-glowing —
but unlike other comets, he didn’t sparkle.
Not when he zipped past moons,
not when he tumbled through stardust trails,
not even when he tried spinning really, really fast.

“I guess I’m just not special,” Lumi sighed,
curling behind a sleepy Saturn ring.

But one night, while passing by a young Earth,
he saw something glowing...
not in space — but in a child.

The child was dancing in her room,
holding a crayon in one hand
and hugging her teddy bear in the other.

“She sparkles!” Lumi whispered in awe.
“Even without a tail.”

Suddenly, the child looked up —
right at Lumi — and whispered,
“You’re beautiful too.”

Something warm lit up in his icy core.
And for the first time ever...

🌟 Lumi sparkled. 🌟

He didn’t even notice at first —
but his tail began to shimmer with joy.

It wasn’t the speed.
It wasn’t the trail.
It was the love.

Lumi had found his sparkle —
not from trying…
but from being seen.

From that day on,
Lumi zipped through galaxies smiling —
leaving behind giggles, wishes, and glow.

And every time a little one laughed or believed in themselves…
Lumi sparkled brighter than ever before.
