Xiao and the star

The light from the forest filters through the trees, creating shadows that move gently in the wind. The footsteps of the hooded shadow suddenly stop. Before me is something I cannot ignore: a gigantic, strangely shaped stone, like an enormous egg, emitting a faint heat. Its golden glow almost hurts my eyes, but I cannot look away.

I cautiously extend my hand, feeling my heart beat a little faster. The moment I touch it… a sharp pain shoots through my fingers. I pull my hand away immediately. Your Majesty! Are you alright? Are you hurt? My men ask, but my gaze is on the stone, completely ignoring my hand; suddenly I see something inside the stone moving.

The rock begins to slowly open, and inside… I see something I don't understand. A young man. His skin is pale, almost glowing in the golden light. His hair shines like the sun itself, long and loose. He is asleep, defenseless, and completely unaware of this world. My eyes widen in surprise. Confused, I slowly take another step closer while my knights are in defensive positions, ready to attack at any moment.
