Gem of Melodia

By Maniyan Trichy Krishnamoorthy

THE GEM OF MELODIA (978-981-94-7893-4)

While exploring their dusty attic, Grandpa Maniyan and his grandson Samar discover a mysterious golden map and magical compass hidden inside an old family trunk. The compass opens a glowing portal that transports them to Melodia, a distant planet where the singing forests have fallen silent.

There, they meet Pipo, a friendly little alien who explains that the Great Crystal, the source of Melodia's music and energy, has lost its power. Only three virtues can awaken it: kindness, courage and wisdom.

Their first challenge comes from hungry creatures called Skritters. Although their own supplies are limited, Maniyan and Samar share their remaining fruits, earning the blue Shard of Kindness.

Next, they face a frightening crystal bridge across the Misty Chasm. Despite fierce winds and a collapsing pathway, they bravely cross together, receiving the red Shard of Courage.

Their final challenge awaits beneath the ancient Elder Root, a wise talking tree. Samar correctly answers its riddle about what grows when shared, earning the green Shard of Wisdom.

Guided by Pipo, they place all three shards into the Great Crystal and touch it together. Brilliant golden light spreads across Melodia, restoring music, colour and life to its silent forests.

Returning through the magical portal, they find themselves back in their attic. The map fades away, but the beautiful song of Melodia remains forever in their hearts.

True adventure needs a kind heart, brave spirit, and wise mind.
