Fata Narrat: Short Stories

Portal of Balance

In the heart of an ancient forest, where old trees whispered secrets to the wind, lived Elyas, a young elf with a curious soul. His days were filled with magic, but it was during his nightly adventures that he truly found his true calling. One fateful night, as the moon cast an eerie glow over the dense canopy, Elyas stumbled upon a hidden path leading deeper into the woods. Guided by an unseen force, he followed the path to its end where an old, gnarled tree stood sentinel around a shimmering portal. As he hesitated at the threshold, the shimmering portal pulsed with an ethereal light, casting intricate patterns on the ground. With a heart full of curiosity and courage, Elyas stepped through, emerging in a land untouched by time. The ancient relic, inscribed with arcane symbols, glowed faintly in his hands, promising untold power but also great responsibility. He was tasked with retrieving it to restore balance between the worlds. His journey tested his resolve and revealed the true strength within him. Upon returning home, Elyas's demeanor had changed; he moved with purpose and a newfound respect for the delicate interplay of magic and nature. The artifact he brought back was more than just a magical tool-it was a symbol of his growth and an enduring bond between worlds.
