Draft of Elric's Glade
In the quiet village of Elderglen, nestled among the whispering woods, there lived a young boy named Elric. Known for his kind heart and curious mind, Elric often found himself drawn to the ancient forest that lay beyond the village walls. It was said that the forest held secrets from long ago, whispers of magic and power. One crisp autumn morning, Elric ventured into the woods with nothing but a small pouch of dried fruits, eager to uncover what lay hidden within.
