In the shadowy hills of Transylvania, under a soft crescent moon, Viktor felt a surge of protectiveness as he watched his quiet baby sister, Lila. With her gentle demeanor and wide, innocent eyes, she seemed small and fragile in the vastness of the night.

“Tonight, Lila, I’ll be right here with you,” he promised, kneeling beside her. “We’re going to practice your transformation. You can do this.”

Lila nodded softly, her gaze downcast. She admired her brother but felt a flutter of fear in her chest. Viktor, sensing her hesitation, transformed into a sleek bat, gliding gracefully above her.

“See? Just like that,” he encouraged, landing beside her again. “You’re safe with me.”

Taking a deep breath, Lila closed her eyes, envisioning herself as a bat. With a shimmer, she transformed but only managed to lift off the ground slightly before landing softly.

“Good job, Lila!” Viktor said, his voice warm and reassuring. “Now let’s try jumping. I’ll catch you if you fall.”

With a timid smile, Lila took a small leap, her wings fluttering. She glided a little, her voice barely a whisper as she said, “I’m flying...”

“Just a little more!” Viktor urged, his heart swelling with pride. “You’re doing wonderfully.”

As she landed, Lila felt a sense of safety in her brother’s presence. “Can we practice again tomorrow?” she asked softly.

“Every night, I’ll be here,” Viktor promised, wrapping an arm around her. “I’ll always protect you, Lila.”

Under the starlit sky, the bond between the two siblings deepened, each moment strengthening their love and trust as they faced the night together.
