In the quiet village of Eldenwood, a young girl named Clara discovered an ancient, overgrown garden behind her grandmother's house. The villagers spoke in whispers about the garden, claiming it was cursed and that anyone who entered would never return. Clara was curious, however, and one day, she decided to explore the garden despite the warnings. As she stepped inside, she was amazed by the vibrant flowers and strange creatures that fluttered around her. She spent countless hours in the garden, returning home late each evening filled with tales of adventure. Eventually, she began to notice that her neighbors seemed less interested in her stories and more wary of her presence.

One evening, Clara overheard two villagers discussing her explorations. They lamented, 'She’s been in that garden too long. It’s only a matter of time before something terrible happens.' Clara felt a chill run down her spine but continued to visit the garden, feeling an unexplainable connection to its magic.
