Awakening
In the heart of a bustling city, Elara labored in the shadow of her master, the renowned wizard Alaric. Surrounded by shelves lined with ancient tomes and vials of eldritch potions, her days were spent brewing potions and cleaning scrolls, but her nights were filled with dreams of soaring through the skies on a dragon's back. One evening, as she worked tirelessly by candlelight in the quiet corner of Alaric's library, a peculiar book found its way into her hands-a tattered tome bound in leather, etched with arcane symbols that shimmered faintly under the moonlight. Curiosity piqued, Elara slipped away to a secluded corner where whispers echoed through the ancient walls. The words within spoke of forgotten magic, hidden powers, and the path to becoming a true mage.
Elara's heart raced as she delved deeper into the book's secrets. She had always felt like an outsider in Alaric's shadow, longing for more than just mundane tasks. Now, with each page turned, her resolve grew stronger. As dawn approached, she realized that her destiny lay not in shadow but in light-she was destined to unlock the dormant abilities within herself.
