Eva had always loved listening to echoes. When she clapped her hands at the canyon near her house, the sound came back to her, softer but somehow stronger.

One evening, after dance practice, she dreamed she was standing by a silver lake. Mist floated over the water, and when she whispered into the air, her voice didn’t just bounce back—it answered.

'Eva,' it said gently, 'What do you seek?'

Startled, Eva thought for a moment. 'I seek adventure,' she said.

The lake rippled. A path of stones rose from the surface, leading into the mist.

Eva stepped forward.

Each stone she touched revealed a different world: one showed a city made of glass towers; another, a forest where books grew from trees; another, a mountain where butterflies carried wishes.

When she hesitated, the voice whispered again: 'Only those who trust their hearts can cross.'

Eva closed her eyes. She stopped worrying about choosing the perfect step and simply walked, stone by stone, with steady faith.

When she woke up, the mist had vanished, but the feeling remained—a quiet belief that somewhere, her next adventure was already calling.
