Nyla loved organizing her colorful building blocks before bedtime. She carefully arranged them by size and color, creating neat rows on her bedroom floor. One day, I'll build something amazing, she whispered to herself, not knowing how soon that day would come.
That night, a strange golden glow woke Nyla from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief as one of her red blocks floated into the air. Hello there! it said cheerfully. I'm Mortar, and we need your help!
Nyla sat up in bed, fascinated. But you're just a building block, she said. Mortar spun in circles, leaving sparkles in the air. Not tonight! We're magical blocks, and there are fairy tale characters who need a new castle to live in.
All around her room, blocks were beginning to dance and hover. We have until sunrise, Mortar explained, to build the perfect palace. Only you can help us, Nyla, because you understand how blocks fit together so well.
Nyla climbed out of bed, her heart racing with excitement. She watched as Cinderella, the Three Little Pigs, and even Rapunzel appeared in miniature form, all looking hopeful. Their old castles were destroyed by a storm, Mortar said sadly.
Taking a deep breath, Nyla began to direct the floating blocks. The big ones go at the bottom, she said confidently. And we'll need towers - lots of towers! The fairy tale characters clapped as the foundation took shape.
The palace grew taller and more magnificent with each passing minute. Nyla directed blocks to form elegant archways and spiral staircases. This is exactly what we needed! exclaimed Cinderella, watching as her new ballroom took shape beneath twinkling starlight.
Just as the first rays of dawn appeared, Nyla placed the final block atop the highest tower. The entire castle sparkled with magical energy. You did it! Mortar cheered, bouncing with joy. You've given us all a wonderful new home!
As the sun rose, Nyla smiled proudly at her creation. The fairy tale characters waved goodbye as they disappeared into their new home. Mortar winked before transforming back into a regular block, leaving Nyla with the most amazing memory of all.
