The Mysterious Midnight Visitor

Liam loved staying up late, especially during school holidays. One quiet summer night, while everyone else was asleep, he sat near his window reading his favorite adventure book. The moon was bright, and a cool breeze filled his room.

Suddenly, Liam heard a soft tap… tap… tap on the window.

He froze.

Again—tap… tap… tap.

Gathering courage, he slowly opened the window. To his surprise, a tiny glowing creature floated in the air. It looked like a small ball of blue light with wings made of silver dust.

“Hello!” the creature said in a tiny but cheerful voice. “I am Niri, a midnight messenger.”

“A… a what?” Liam stuttered.

“A midnight messenger,” Niri repeated. “I bring small warnings or blessings to humans who are kind at heart. And tonight, I need your help!”

Liam’s fear quickly turned into excitement. “Help with what?”

Niri pointed toward the tall mango tree in the backyard. “A baby owl is stuck on a branch. It can’t fly down, and its mother is worried.”

Without wasting time, Liam grabbed his flashlight and followed Niri outside. The backyard looked different at night—quiet, mysterious, and magical. He soon spotted the little owl trembling on a branch.

“It’s okay, little one,” Liam whispered.

With Niri’s guidance, he climbed carefully, reached the owl, and helped it down safely. The mother owl hooted softly, flying in circles as if saying thank you.

“You did it!” Niri said happily. “Because of your kindness, I have a gift for you.”

The glowing creature touched Liam’s forehead lightly. “Whenever you feel scared or alone at night, just look at the moon. You will feel brave again.”

Before Liam could say anything, Niri disappeared in a burst of silver sparkles.

The next morning, Liam wondered if it was all a dream. But when he opened his window, he found a small silver feather on his desk—shining in the sunlight.

He smiled.

Maybe magic was real after all.
