The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Once upon a time, there was a small town surrounded by dense forest and rolling hills. The townspeople lived peacefully, but they often whispered about a mysterious and reclusive old man who lived in a large mansion at the edge of the forest. The old man was rumored to be a wealthy and eccentric collector of rare and valuable artifacts, and many of the townspeople were both envious of and frightened by his immense wealth and power.
