IN HER FOREST

In the heart of the ancient forest, where sunlight danced through the leaves and shadows whispered secrets, a powerful sorceress stood sentinel. She was a guardian, gifted with the ability to protect all that thrived in this realm. Yet, beneath her formidable power lay a heart heavy with betrayal. Memories of those who had broken her trust haunted her-faces once beloved, now mere ghosts in her mind.

After the last betrayal, she sought solace within the embrace of her forest, its serenity a balm for her wounds. But peace is a fragile thing. Rumors of a dark wizard spread like wildfire, his presence a malignant shadow creeping ever closer, drawing upon the magic of the very trees that sheltered her.

The day came when the air crackled with tension, and the sky darkened, mirroring the sorceress's turmoil. The dark wizard emerged, an old acquaintance whose betrayal had ripped through her soul. They faced each other amidst a clearing, a storm of emotions brewing in the space between them.

"Do you not remember me?" his voice was both familiar and foreign, laced with a taunting edge. She could feel the memories flicker at the edges of her mind, just out of reach.
