#Story :

Amelia, a curious villager, is captivated by the mysteries of the Forbidden Forest—a place rumored to be enchanted and filled with strange creatures. One day, she discovers an old map showing the path to the Heart of the forest, despite her grandmother's warnings. Venturing in, she encounters strange sights and is eventually guided to an ancient archway, which transports her to a magical realm. There, she meets the Guardian of the forest, who challenges her to prove her worth. After journeying deeper, she finds the Heart of the forest—a powerful ancient tree—and realizes that by touching it, she’s forever bound to guard it. Over time, Amelia becomes part of the forest’s legend, known as the mysterious figure with the silver gaze, forever protecting the Heart.
