star-shaped crystal tear

the crown princess sat on the bench in the garden and looked at the star-shaped crystal tear which she had dug up again. it was her favourite item but still she had to bury them because she realised that none of the tears belonged to her as they never glow. the crown princess's majesty mother used to tell her that one day she will find her own star-shaped crystal tear. when the tear glowed, she will know that then it's hers. she has subjected her favourite star-shaped crystal tear to the coolest northern shore wind, heat it with the purest southern fire and chill it in the iciest perk mountain but it just won't glow. she remembered her thorough saddness and covered the tear up again. she is not sure who is happier, her fruitless pursuit for her own glowing star-shaped crystal tear or her mermaid friend.

her mermaid friend used to lead a beautiful carefree life but now she is living in an almost infinite pain because she fell in love with a mortal man who can neither swim nor love the sea.
