The Heart Collector
A supernatural entity begins collecting the hearts of those who have broken their vows of love, leading to a deadly game of cat and mouse
Quite a long time ago, there was a little town known for its quiet and agreeable lifestyle. Individuals lived together as one, and the powers of profound devotion and unwaveringness were held in high regard. In any case, the town was going to confront its most obscure days as an extraordinary element arose. This element, known as the Heart Authority, had the ability to gather the hearts of the people who had broken their commitments of affection.
The first to succumb to the Heart Gatherer was a youthful couple who had recently gotten hitched. The couple had vowed to adore and treasure each other until the end of their lives, however as time elapsed, they became separated. They started to contend and battle, and in the end, they separated. It was then that the Heart Authority showed up and took the hearts of the two previous darlings, leaving them inert and cold.
Insight about the Heart Gatherer's assaults spread rapidly all through the town, making dread and frenzy set in. Nobody was protected, and everybody dreaded for their own wellbeing. Individuals started to scrutinize the strength of their own connections and the legitimacy of their own promises.
The town was in a condition of mayhem, and the residents looked for the assistance of a savvy old sage who lived in the close by woods. The sage was known for his insight into the otherworldly and his capacity to help those out of luck. He paid attention to the tale of the Heart Gatherer and afterward cautioned the town of the peril that lay ahead.
The Heart Gatherer, he made sense of, was an extraordinary substance that had been made by the divine beings as a discipline for the individuals who broke their commitments of adoration. The element was controlled by the energy of broken hearts, and it would keep on gathering them until it was annihilated.
The savvy then gave the town an errand. That's what he said if they would find the wellspring of the Heart Authority's power and annihilate it, then the element would be obliterated alongside it. The not set in stone to save their town and the ones they cherished, thus they set out on their journey.
They traveled profound into the core of the forest, confronting endless deterrents and overcoming their feelings of dread en route. At last, they happened upon a dim and inauspicious cavern, which they knew to be the wellspring of the Heart Gatherer's power. They entered the cavern, their hearts beating with dread and their psyches loaded up with uncertainty.
As they ventured further into the cavern, they experienced the Heart Authority itself. The substance was an unnerving sight, with a body made of shadows and a heart made of unadulterated haziness. The residents battled energetically, yet the Heart Authority was excessively strong. It appeared to be that everything was lost.
Similarly as the Heart Gatherer was going to guarantee its last casualty, a youthful couple ventured forward. The couple was profoundly infatuated and their affection was sufficiently able to drive an enchanted talisman that the sage had given them. The ornament was the way to obliterating the Heart Gatherer, and with an explosion of light, the element was annihilated.
The residents got back to the town, their hearts overflowing with bliss and help. They praised their triumph and their affection, and they promised never to underestimate their adoration. The Heart Gatherer was no more, and the town was protected indeed.
Years went by, and the narrative of the Heart Gatherer turned into a legend, an indication of the force of affection and the significance of keeping one's promises. Thus, every Valentine's Day, the residents would assemble and recount the account of the Heart Authority, praising the adoration that had saved their town and the affection that would keep on persevering for a long time into the future.
