Origin Story

很久以前，在一个古老的山谷里，住着一位名叫灵儿的仙女。灵儿掌管着山谷中的一切，但她从不干涉自然界的变化。她知道，万物都在变动不居，花开花落，云卷云舒，都是自然规律的一部分。有一年，山谷里发生了一场罕见的大旱，溪流干涸，树木枯萎。村民们焦急万分，求灵儿帮忙。灵儿看着干旱的山谷，并没有立刻施法降雨。她明白，旱灾只是自然变化的一部分，强行干预只会破坏自然平衡。于是，她引导村民们节约用水，寻找新的水源，并教授他们如何种植耐旱的作物。经过村民们的努力，旱灾逐渐过去，山谷又恢复了生机。灵儿的故事告诉人们，接受变化，顺应自然，才能与自然和谐相处，最终战胜困难。

Long ago, in an ancient valley, there lived a fairy named Linger. Linger controlled everything in the valley, but she never interfered with the changes in nature. She knew that all things are constantly changing, the blooming and withering of flowers, the gathering and dispersing of clouds, are all part of the laws of nature. One year, a rare drought occurred in the valley, streams dried up, and trees withered. The villagers were anxious and asked Linger for help. Linger looked at the arid valley, but did not immediately cast a spell to bring rain. She understood that drought was just part of the natural changes, and forcibly interfering would only destroy the natural balance. So, she guided the villagers to conserve water, find new water sources, and taught them how to grow drought-resistant crops. Through the efforts of the villagers, the drought gradually passed, and the valley was restored to life. Linger's story tells people that accepting changes and adapting to nature can allow for harmonious coexistence with nature, and ultimately overcome difficulties.
