Once upon a time, in a realm filled with twinkling stars, Diana wandered the night. She watched over the sleeping Earth, draping it with her silver glow.
Diana loved her solitude, but sometimes she longed for a friend. One evening, as she glided across the sky, she spotted a shepherd named Endymion.
Endymion, with eyes closed, rested on a grassy hill. His sheep were near, grazing peacefully under the moon's watch.
Every night, she passed by him, observing his quiet strength. Diana's heart grew fond of the shepherd's gentle nature.
One evening, Diana decided to descend to Earth. As she neared Endymion, her light dimmed to not disturb his sleep.
She admired his peaceful face. 'Endymion,' she whispered, but he did not wake. Diana wondered about his dreams.
Knowing she shouldn't disturb him, Diana left a moonbeam by his side, hoping it would bring him sweet dreams.
The next night, Diana noticed Endymion was smiling in his sleep. 'Did my moonbeam reach your dreams?' she thought.
Nights passed, and Diana's visits became her joy. As the world slept, the two shared a secret bond.
But the night had to end. With a heavy heart, Diana returned to the skies, leaving Endymion to the day's embrace.
Each night, Diana's light touched Endymion's heart, and though he never saw her, he felt her presence in his dreams.
Diana realized that sometimes friendship doesn't need words. It can be as silent as the moon and as deep as the night sky.
