[Repost] Lyra and the Crystal Ball

~ by Rima Putriani

Once upon a time, there lived a cloudless young girl named Lyra. Since her mother was dead, she only lived with her father in a small city. Her family was not a rich one, but they lived happily although they had to work very hard just to get a food.

Her father was a blacksmith and Lyra herself worked as a messenger who sent message from one to another. She enjoyed the job where she could explore the whole city. She woke early everymorning to get dressed with her messenger-uniform and then got to work. Her bestfriend, Ronan, always stayed in the mouth of the alley to pick her up and then they’d walk together to work even though Ronan was a pipework, not a messenger like her.
