Synopsis
In a world where forgotten names are whispered among the trees, a grieving brother named Elias ventures into the mysterious Forest of Forgotten Names to find his sister, Lila, who vanished without a trace five years ago. The forest is no ordinary place—its trees are alive, their leaves rustling with the stolen memories of those who have disappeared. Elias soon discovers that the forest feeds on the names of the lost, erasing their identities from the world. But when he finally finds Lila, she doesn’t recognize him—or even her own name.

The Forest of Forgotten Names

Elias woke up in the forest, the carved bird still clutched in his hand.

The air was silent, the whispers gone.

Elias looked around. The trees seemed taller, their leaves brighter. The ground beneath him was soft, the moss glowing faintly. He stood, his legs shaky. "Lila?" There was no answer.

Elias felt a surge of panic. Had he failed? He looked down at the carved bird. It was warm, almost alive. He held it up, and the bird began to glow. A voice echoed in his mind. You made the choice. Now face the consequences.

The Consequences

Elias felt a wave of memories flood his mind—memories he didn't recognize. He saw Lila, but not as she was now. She was younger, happier. He saw himself, but he was different too. The memories shifted, showing him the moment Lila gave up her name.

Elias realized something shocking. He hadn't just given up his memories—he had given up his name. The forest had taken it, just as it had taken Lila's. But in return, it had given him something precious: the truth.

Elias saw the forest for what it truly was—a sanctuary, not a prison. It protected memories, keeping them safe from the curse. But it also demanded a price. Elias had paid that price, and now he understood.

The ground beneath Elias began to shake. The trees around him swayed, their branches reaching for the sky. A light burst from the carved bird, illuminating the forest. Elias felt a surge of energy, and then everything went still.

When Elias opened his eyes, he was no longer in the forest. He stood in a field, the sun shining brightly overhead. Lila stood beside him, her eyes clear. "Elias?" she said, her voice soft. Elias felt tears in his eyes. "Lila. You remember me." Lila nodded. "I remember everything."

The Forest's Fate

Elias looked back at the forest. It was gone, replaced by a field of flowers. He felt a pang of sadness, but also gratitude. The forest had done its job. It had protected their memories, and now it was at peace.

Elias and Lila walked away from the field, hand in hand. They didn't know what the future held, but they knew they would face it together. The carved bird was gone, but its memory remained. And so did theirs.
