A timeless tale of friendship, memory, and the golden thread that connects hearts across generations

In a quiet village nestled between the emerald hills and whispering

woods, there lived a humble old man named Eliyas. He wasn’t rich,

nor did he own anything grand. His only treasure was a small bird

named Noor, a snow-white dove with a single shimmering golden feather on her wing.

Every morning, the villagers would see Eliyas sitting under the ancient fig tree, sharing stories with Noor as if she understood every

word. And maybe she did—for Noor would coo softly, tilt her head, and nuzzle his cheek like a loyal friend.

Eliyas had once been a traveler, crossing deserts and mountains in search of meaning. He had returned to his homeland with weary bones but a heart full of wisdom. Noor, he had found wounded under

a broken sky during a storm in the mountains. He nursed her back to health, and she never left his side again.

But time, as it always does, began to take its toll.

One cold winter morning, the village awoke to silence. Eliyas was gone.

The villagers found him sitting peacefully under the fig tree, eyes closed, a soft smile on his face—and Noor perched on his shoulder, motionless.

But something strange had happened.

Noor’s golden feather had fallen to the ground and begun to glow

faintly, pulsing like a heartbeat. A young girl named Layla picked it

up. From that day on, she could hear whispers in the wind—kind whispers, stories of the stars, the earth, and the ancient songs of her

people. She began to tell tales under the fig tree, just like Eliyas did.

Some say Eliyas's spirit lives on in the stories Layla tells. Others believe Noor was no ordinary bird, but a guardian sent to remind the

world that even the smallest creature can carry the light of the sky.

But all who hear the story agree: the golden feather was never just a feather. It was hope. It was memory. It was the last feather of the sky.
