The Chronicles of Lost Echoes
Episode 2: The Forgotten Forest

Lila wandered deeper into the forest, the towering trees casting long shadows over the moss-covered ground. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and the quiet hum of life hidden just out of sight. As she walked, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched, though every time she turned, no one was there. The deeper she went, the more the world around her seemed to shift—branches seemed to sway in rhythm with her movements, and the distant sound of running water became clearer.
After hours of walking, Lila stumbled upon something unexpected—an old stone archway, partially covered by ivy and roots. It stood in the middle of a clearing, as though forgotten by time itself. There was no door, no sign of what it was once meant to be, yet the arch exuded an aura of mystery. Lila instinctively reached into her bag and pulled out the key. Her heart raced as she approached the arch, and with a deep breath, she slid the key into a hidden slot in the stone.
To her amazement, the archway began to glow faintly, and the ground beneath her feet trembled. The air became heavy with anticipation, and then—without warning—the archway opened, revealing a swirling vortex of light and color. Lila stepped forward, her breath caught in her throat, as she was pulled into the unknown.
