00:00in a silver kingdom floating between clouds and moonbeams lived the enchanting land of everluna and in the tallest tower of the moonlight palace snored a princess so famously lazy she once slept through her own royal birthday party her name
00:17princess leora also known throughout the land as leora the lovely and the lounging she had soft golden hair always slightly messy from naps eyes that sparkled only when she dreamed and a voice so gentle that even birds yawned when she spoke but don't be mistaken princess leora wasn't mean or spoiled she was kind sweet and soft-hearted just not very motivated i'll help tomorrow she often whispered snuggling into pillows
00:44the problem with clouds one breezy morning the royal butler mr tiddles burst into leora's chambers he was a plump gray cat in a waistcoat who had served the royal family for three generations your highness he meowed everluna's clouds are stuck the kingdom can't float leora peeked from her blanket fortress sounds floaty
01:07maybe they'll unstick later but princess mr tiddles exclaimed if the clouds don't move everluna will tilt and slide right into the drowsy swamp
01:19leora blinked the swamp where frogs snore louder than thunder the very one he nodded leora groaned rolled over and covered her ears with the pillow a royal nudge later that day queen morella wise graceful and just a bit stern visited leora's room
01:35my darling she said gently brushing a crumb off leora's cheek being royal means caring for more than cushions our kingdom needs a princess who acts not just dreams
01:47leora sighed leora sighed but mama i'm not like you you sparkle with star dust i sparkle with nap dust the queen smiled sadly that sparkle can shine if you choose to try and with that she placed a tiny silver bell on leora's bedside table ring this when you're ready to begin
02:07the magical messengers that night leora couldn't sleep strange for someone who adored sleep she tossed and turned imagining everluna sliding into the swamp what if her bed got soggy what if mr tiddles couldn't float she glanced at the bell
02:23ding instantly three glowing figures appeared in a whirl of starlight they were the luna luma's tiny moon fairies who helped everluna's royal family in times of need hi squeaked wink the bouncy one
02:36toody time yon does the sleepy one let's get to it said glow the serious one leora sat up i don't even know what to do then we teach they chimed
02:46trial one the cloud pipes first stop the cloud engines beneath the palace everluna floats on soft air from magical cloud pipes explained glow but they're clogged with fluff sure enough pipes were filled with cottony clumps
03:01a single sneeze from leora sent them swirling she coughed you isn't there a spell for this nope said wink just effort with mittens on and broom in hand leora began slowly clumsily
03:16she scrubbed she swept she collapsed then she sipped cocoa and started again by dawn the clouds flowed smooth and round yay princess cheered the lumas she smiled that wasn't horrible trial two the floating fireflies next task relight the skies fireflies powered everluna's glow but they'd gone dim from neglect they only shine when someone cares for them said does cradling a tired bug
03:42leora looked around at thousands of tiny lantern like homes with sleepy fireflies inside she took a deep breath and began feeding sugar petals humming lullabies and gently shaking light jaws awake
03:54hours passed her arms ached her eyes drooped but one by one tiny lights flickered back to life by nightfall everluna's skies sparkled once again
04:03leora covered in glitter dust and petals yawned i'm actually proud
04:08trial three trial three the big storm just when leora thought her journey was done the skies darkened
04:13uh-oh said wink storm a coming a wild sky dragon named thunderthump
