Hero and the Power of Believing...

Ale Alex

High above the world, hidden among the drifting clouds, lay a magical floating island. This was no ordinary island—it shimmered under the golden sun, and its trees whispered secrets in the wind. Here, magic existed in secret, known only to those who lived on the island. It was a place of wonder, where animals could talk, and the sky itself seemed to listen. 
Among the island's many wonders was a young boy named Hero. With kindness in his heart, determination in his spirit, and creativity in his mind, Hero was special in ways he didn't fully understand. He had the gift of talking to animals and flying, but despite his magical abilities, Hero struggled with something far greater than any spell—believing in himself. 
Hero often doubted whether he was truly strong enough, smart enough, or special enough. What if his magic wasn't as powerful as others? What if he failed? His mind was full of "what ifs" that made his wings feel heavy and his heart uncertain.
