Chapter 37: The Enchanted Grove

The air was thick with anticipation as Aria followed Prince Damien through the winding forest paths. This part of Elysium, known as the Enchanted Grove, was whispered about in legends, a place where magic flowed freely, untamed by the bounds of human control. Aria could feel the pulse of energy in the air, a rhythmic beat that matched the thudding of her heart.

"Why are we here, Damien?" Aria asked, her voice barely above a whisper. The trees around them seemed to lean in, listening to every word.

Damien glanced back at her, his expression unreadable. "There's something I need to show you. Something that might help us in breaking the curse."
