Ivy and the Starlight Skate

6 min 22 sec

Ivy laced her skates while moonlight spilled across the frozen pond like liquid pearl.
She stepped onto the glassy surface, exhaled, and pushed forward.

Silver blades whispered, and every glide released a trail of twinkling stardust that hovered above the ice like curious fireflies.
Ivy giggled at the glittering clouds swirling around her ankles.

She had discovered this secret only last week, when she first tried her grandmother’s antique skates.
Grandma had whispered that the blades were forged from a fallen star, yet Ivy had thought it a bedtime tale.

Now, each figure eight she traced flared with soft light, proving the story wonderfully true.
She skated faster, heart drumming with wonder, and the pond answered with a hushed chorus of tinkling chimes.

Above her, the constellations seemed to lean closer, admiring the sparkling ribbons she painted across their mirror.
Ivy spun, arms out, and the dust formed a glowing halo that drifted upward and settled on the snowy branches of surrounding pines.

The trees shimmered, dressed in necklaces of light, and Ivy felt certain the forest itself was smiling.
She whispered thank you to the quiet night, then swept into a wide circle, intending to skate home before the cold nipped too hard.

But as she turned, she noticed a gentle tremor beneath the ice.
A soft pulse glowed deep below, matching the rhythm of her heartbeat.

She knelt, curious, and touched the surface.
Warmth greeted her gloved fingers, though the air was crisp.

A voice, gentle as lullabies, rose through the ice.
“Keeper of Starlight, will you help me?”

it asked.
Ivy’s eyes widened, yet she felt no fear, only the tug of adventure.

She nodded, breath frosting.
“What do you need?”

The pond brightened, revealing a tunnel of turquoise light spiraling downward.
“Follow,” the voice invited.

Ivy hesitated for half a second, then smiled.
She straightened, stepped onto the glowing path, and the ice welcomed her like a doorway of liquid crystal.

Down she glided, blades humming, surrounded by walls that sparkled with embedded galaxies.
Schools of tiny silver fish, made entirely of starlight, darted alongside her, guiding her deeper.

The descent felt like floating inside a snow globe of dreams.
Soon, the tunnel opened into an enormous cavern beneath the pond.

A palace carved from aquamarine rose before her, turrets wrapped in ribbons of moonshine.
Banners of frost fluttered, and at the grand entrance stood a snow-white seal with eyes like sapphires.

The seal bowed, flippers sweeping wide.
“Welcome, Ivy.

I am Lir, guardian of the Wintergate.
Our world is losing its shimmer because the Heartstar has dimmed.”

Ivy noticed the cavern’s glow was indeed fading, colors retreating into gray.
“What is a Heartstar?”

she asked, voice echoing.
Lir gestured toward the palace doors, which parted with a sigh.

Inside, a vaulted hall held a pedestal of ice, and upon it rested a crystal sphere, once radiant, now dull and cracked.
“It powers the Northern Lights,” Lir explained.

“Without it, the sky will soon forget color.”
Ivy’s chest tightened.

She loved the aurora’s dance more than hot cocoa with marshmallows.
“How can I help?”

Lir’s eyes twinkled.
“Only star forged blades can reignite it.

Skate the Pattern of First Snow upon the palace lake, and your trails will weave new light.”
Ivy gulped, realizing the Pattern was a complicated dance her grandmother had taught her summers ago on hardwood floors.

She had never tried it on ice, let alone beneath the world.
Still, she agreed, because courage felt warmer than doubt.

Guards of crystalline rabbits escorted her to the underground lake, its surface smooth as lullabies.
Ivy closed her eyes, remembering Grandma’s gentle counts.

One, two, three, hop, turn, arc.
She pushed off, and starlight spilled from her skates in confident ribbons.

Each step of the Pattern bloomed beneath her: a rose of light, a spiral of hope, a star of memory.
She leapt, spun twice, landed softly, and the trails wove themselves into a tapestry of shimmering runes.

The Heartstar pulsed, responding to the dance.
Colors returned to the walls, shy at first, then blazing in jubilant waves.

Ivy completed the final loop, breath misting, and the sphere blazed like a miniature sunrise.
Light surged upward through the ceiling, racing toward the sky above the pond.

The cavern filled with cheers from guardian animals: foxes of frost, owls of hoarfrost, even tiny frost fairies who sprinkled diamond dust in Ivy’s hair.
Lir approached, offering a pendant shaped like a snowflake.

“You have restored the Wintergate.
Wear this, and you may return whenever starlight needs guidance.”

Ivy accepted, feeling the pendant’s gentle chill against her palm.
She curtsied, because Grandma would insist on manners, then followed glowing fish back up the tunnel.

The ascent felt shorter, buoyed by triumph.
When she emerged onto the pond, dawn was blushing across the horizon.

The snowy trees now wore fresh aurora ribbons that flickered emerald and rose.
Ivy unlaced her skates, tucked them over her shoulder, and stepped onto the snowy bank.

Above, the revitalized Northern Lights rippled like silk scarves in wind.
She smiled, certain Grandma would love this tale, and maybe, just maybe, believe the old skates carried real starlight.

Ivy headed home, pockets full of stardust, heart full of winter magic, already wondering what pattern she might skate tomorrow night.
