The Midnight Visitor: Remedios Ybarvia, the Gift of Slumber
In a cozy cottage nestled amidst whispering willows, there lived a little girl named Lily. Every night, Lily's sleep would be disturbed by the faintest of sounds, the creaking of floorboards, the rustling of curtains. Fear would creep into her heart, haunting her dreams with nightmares.
One fateful evening, as Lily lay shivering in her bed, she heard a gentle knock at her door. Her heart skipped a beat. Who could it be at this hour? Slowly, she crept out of her covers and peeked through the keyhole. There, standing tall and graceful, was a woman she had never seen before.
"My name is Remedios Ybarvia," the woman said, her voice soft and soothing. "I have come to lull you to sleep."
Lily gasped in astonishment. She had heard tales of Remedios Ybarvia, the legendary "Gift of Slumber." It was said that she possessed the power to whisk away nightmares and bestow upon children the sweetest of dreams.
With trembling hands, Lily opened the door. Remedios Ybarvia stepped inside, her presence filling the room with an ethereal glow. She carried a basket brimming with fragrant herbs and sparkling crystals.
"Lie down, Lily," Remedios Ybarvia whispered. "Close your eyes and let me weave you a tapestry of dreams."
As Lily sank into her bed, Remedios Ybarvia began to sing a lullaby so enchanting that the creaks and rustles of the night seemed to fade away. The herbs and crystals shimmered with an otherworldly light, casting a mesmerizing spell upon Lily's mind.
Softly, softly, close your eyes,
Remedios Ybarvia's song will mesmerize.
Nightmares vanish, fears take flight,
As sleep embraces, shining bright.
Lily felt her body grow heavy, her eyelids growing heavier still. She watched in wonder as dreams swirled before her eyes like vibrant kaleidoscopes. In her visions, she soared through the clouds on the back of a majestic eagle, raced through enchanted forests alongside unicorns, and played hide-and-seek with playful fairies.
As the night wore on, Remedios Ybarvia sat by Lily's bedside, humming softly. The gentle rhythm of her voice lulled Lily into a deep and peaceful slumber. For the first time in months, Lily slept through the entire night, free from the haunting nightmares that had once plagued her.
When morning came, Lily awoke feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. She looked around the room, half expecting Remedios Ybarvia to still be there. But to her surprise, the woman had vanished, leaving only the remnants of a sweet fragrance in the air.
From that day forward, Lily's sleep was always peaceful. She never again experienced the terrors that had once filled her nights. And whenever she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but smile at the memory of Remedios Ybarvia, the Gift of Slumber who had changed her life forever.
And so, dear children, if ever you find yourselves struggling to fall asleep, close your eyes and whisper the name "Remedios Ybarvia." Let her sweet song lull you to a place of dreams and slumber, where nightmares disappear and happiness reigns supreme.
