Lumi stepped into the hollow. She covered her eyes with her paws. A firefly blinked nearby.
She peeked through her fingers. Moonlight hit the silver mushrooms. They glowed softly on the roots.
An owl hooted. The mushrooms flickered. Lumi jumped back and tripped over her tail.
She landed in leaves. The owl flew down. It tapped a mushroom with its wing.
Lumi stopped trembling. She reached out a paw toward the glowing cap.
She curled up next to the light. The forest hummed quietly. No longer scary.
Her eyes closed slowly. She felt safe in the secret magic.
The moon watched over the hollow. The forest slept under a blanket of stars.
