In the deepest part of the forest, Lira encountered the Eenyutu, a figure draped in ethereal light. The spirit explained that only she could now take the place of the guardian. To prove herself, Lira had to solve the riddle of the Starfruit's light: "What ties the sky to the earth, yet vanishes without a trace?"
One day, a young girl named Lira, whose hair shimmered like the Barreesse, ventured into Macaafa. She heard whispers in the trees: "The Eenyutu must be found before the twin suns align." Guided by the wind, she discovered an ancient stone carved with the words —a prophecy.
Lira answered, "Hope—because it needs no form to change the world." The Eenyutu smiled and handed her a glowing seed. When planted, the Barreesse tree would bloom again, restoring balance to Qulqulluu.
The legend spoke of a guardian chosen every thousand years, known as , who would protect the Barreesse from those who sought to misuse its power. This guardian was not of the mortal realm but a spirit born of the wind and starlight.
"Barreesse". That looks similar to "barreesse" which in Amharic or Tigrinya might be a term. In Amharic, "bar-ressa" is a type of dress, but with an "s" at the end it's different. Or maybe "bar-resse" is a name or a transliteration error. Alternatively, "barresse" might be a misspelling of "barresse" which doesn't ring a bell in English. Wait, "barrasse" could be a name, but not sure.
