The Boy Who Collected Sunrises

In a village nestled between green hills and a wide, quiet sea, lived a boy named Elian. He was known for a curious habit. While other children were still deep in their dreams, Elian would be awake, his bare feet silent on the cool earth.
He had a special spot on the easternmost cliff, a small, flat ledge of rock that overlooked the water. This was his place. From here, he practiced his unique and gentle art: he collected sunrises.
