There was a magical cloak that a boy found one day. He wore this cloak almost every day of his life. As a teenager, he could do the most notorious things, without ever being found out. The other children thought that there was a spirit that could do so many mischievous things.

As an adult, he wore his magical cloak and went to places that were restricted. He could see and do things in life that no one else could. He wore his cloak of invisibility and walked freely, into government secret projects. Furthermore, he used the secret time machine to travel through time and space.

Lionel loved his cloak of magic, that could do so many magical things for him, as a child and as an adult. There was just one thing that he could never do, which was to reveal that he wore a coat of magic. He fell in love with the most beautiful girl. She lived in a fortress, owned by her powerful father. Lionel walked into the fortress and worked in the large gardens as a gardener. Elisabete, saw Lionel and they fell in love. She could not believe that he possessed the ability to pass all the armed guards to visit her every day. Lionel was so filled with love for Elisabete, that he told her the truth. He lost the power of his magical cloak, and he was caught by the guards and imprisoned in a large tower.

Looking out of the tower window, where he was tortured for visiting the daughter of the tyrant, he saw Elisabete walking on the grounds. He blinked and looked again and she had disappeared. Elisabete was the new owner of the magical cloak. By telling her his secret, she was the new wearer of the cloak. There was a world to be discovered, and Elisabete was so excited about this new adventure. She never thought about Lionel ever again, even as she heard him being tortured every night, by his cruel jailers. Elisabete, loved her “blanket of stars”, as she called her cloak lovingly.
