The path through the waters
<p><br></p><p><br></p><p>In a quiet village nestled between two great rivers, there lived a people forgotten by the world. Their songs echoed across the plains, speaking of a land far away—a land promised to them by their ancestors, where the mountains touched the sky and the earth whispered of freedom. For generations, they waited, bound by invisible chains of fear, poverty, and the shadow of their conquerors.</p><p><br></p><p>Among them was a young woman named Elara. Raised on stories by her grandmother, she had grown with fire in her veins and stars in her eyes. “One day,” her grandmother would say, “you will lead us to the place where the rivers meet the clouds.”</p><p><br></p><p>The years passed, and oppression tightened. The villagers toiled from sunrise to moonrise, their backs bent under unjust rule. But Elara remembered the stories. She began to speak, softly at first, then louder, in gatherings by firelight. She reminded them of their strength, of the truth buried in their blood.</p><p><br></p><p>One night, as storm clouds rumbled in the sky, Elara climbed the ancient stone in the village center. Thunder cracked, silencing the wind. She raised her voice above it all.</p><p><br></p><p>“We are not forgotten,” she cried. “We are not powerless. The land our fathers spoke of—it still waits. We will no longer bow. We will no longer break. Tonight, we rise.”</p><p><br></p><p>And the people answered. With hands clasped and hearts unified, they left behind the chains, the fields, the sorrow. They walked through rain and hunger, past guards and gorges, holding fast to hope.</p><p><br></p><p>At the edge of a great river, they stopped. The current roared like a warning, but Elara stepped forward, eyes fixed on the far horizon.</p><p><br></p><p>And then, as the first light of dawn broke over the water, she turned to her people and said:</p><p><br></p><p>"I'm gonna stand up, take my people with me. Together we are going to our father's land. Far above the rivers..."</p><p><br></p><p>And they followed her, into freedom.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>In a quiet village nestled between two great rivers, there lived a people forgotten by the world.
