Echoes in the Mirror
In the quiet village of Aldergrove, nestled between towering pine forests and a shimmering silver lake, there was a legend—one passed down in hushed whispers and faded scrolls. They called it "The Mirror of Souls," a mystical artifact hidden in the deepest woods, said to reveal not just reflections but echoes of the heart’s truest desires, fears, and memories. Few dared to seek it, for the mirror was no ordinary object. It held the power to unravel a person’s soul, and sometimes, it could change them forever.
