Evelyn Nightshade

The ancient forest whispered secrets to Evelyn. Its towering oaks cradled memories older than time itself. Evelyn carried her own secret—a crescent moon pendant that glowed under the full moon. Its silver chain nestled against her skin, a constant reminder of her village's suffering.

The curse had withered crops, silenced laughter, and cast shadows over every hearth. The elders spoke of an old prophecy—a pact with the moon that had been broken. Evelyn's heart raced as she ventured deeper into the woods. The Nixies—the elusive water spirits—beckoned. Their voices, like distant chimes, echoed in her dreams. They spoke in an unknown language, urging her toward the heart of the forest.

As they walked side by side, the forest enveloped them. Shafts of moonlight pierced the canopy, dappling the forest floor.
