a beginning

Once upon a time, in a tiny village nestled between two great mountains, there lived a young girl named Elysa. Elysa was a curious and adventurous child, with hair as bright as the stars and eyes as blue as the night sky.

One evening, while wandering through the village, Elysa stumbled upon a hidden path she had never seen before. The path was winding and narrow, and it seemed to be calling to her. Without hesitation, Elysa decided to follow the path, which led her to a beautiful and mysterious garden.

In the center of the garden stood an enormous tree, its branches reaching up towards the stars. As Elysa approached the tree, she heard a soft, whispery voice speaking to her.

"Welcome, young one," said the voice. "I have been waiting for you."

Elysa looked around, wondering who was speaking to her, but she saw no one. Suddenly, a soft, golden light began to glow from within the tree. The light grew brighter and brighter, until Elysa felt herself being lifted off the ground.

She felt as though she was flying, soaring through the air with the greatest of ease. As she flew, Elysa saw the most incredible sights: sparkling waterfalls, shimmering rainbows, and even a group of dancing stars.

When she finally returned to the ground, Elysa felt changed, as though she had been given a special gift. And when she looked up at the tree, she saw that its branches were now adorned with glittering, starry lights.

From that day on, Elysa visited the magical tree every night, and each time she felt herself being lifted higher and higher, into a world of wonder and enchantment. And though she never told anyone about her magical adventures, Elysa knew that she had discovered something truly special – a world of magic that existed just beyond the edge of everyday life.

As the nights passed, Elysa found herself growing more and more fond of the magical tree. She loved the way its branches seemed to stretch up to the stars, and the way its leaves rustled softly in the breeze.

One night, as she was flying through the air, Elysa saw a figure standing beneath the tree. It was a woman with long, flowing hair and a dress that shimmered like the moon.

"Who are you?" Elysa asked, hovering in mid-air.

"I am Meressa, the guardian of this tree," the woman replied, smiling. "And you, little one, are a very special child indeed."

Elysa was intrigued. "What do you mean?" she asked.

Meressa beckoned Elysa to come closer. "You have a gift," she said. "A gift of magic that lies within you. Would you like to learn how to use it?"

Elysa's eyes widened with excitement. She had always felt like there was something missing in her life, something she couldn't quite put her finger on. But now, she was beginning to realize that the something missing was magic.

"Yes, please!" Elysa exclaimed. "I want to learn!"

Meressa smiled. "Then let us begin," she said.

And with that, Elysa's magical education began. She learned how to harness her powers, how to cast spells, and how to communicate with the creatures of the forest.

As the nights passed, Elysa grew more and more confident in her abilities. She was no longer just a curious child; she was a young witch, with a bright future ahead of her.

But little did Elysa know, her newfound powers had not gone unnoticed. A dark force, one that had been lurking in the shadows for centuries, had caught wind of Elysa's magic. And it would stop at nothing to claim it for itself.

As Elysa continued to learn and grow in her magical abilities, she began to sense that something was off. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she felt a creeping sense of unease that seemed to be lurking just beneath the surface.

At first, she tried to brush it off as mere paranoia, but as the feeling grew stronger, she knew she had to confide in someone......
