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 walked toward the faint light in the distance.

The whispers grew louder, guiding him forward.

The darkness around him seemed to shift, as if alive.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but he knew he was getting closer.

The light grew brighter, illuminating a massive tree. Its trunk was twisted, its branches reaching high into the sky. The whispers stopped, and the air grew still. Elias felt a pull, deep in his chest, urging him forward.

Elias approached the tree, his heart pounding. Its bark was rough, its roots tangled in the ground. He placed a hand on the trunk, and the tree began to glow. A voice echoed in his mind. You have come far, Elias. But the journey is not over.

Elias looked around, his eyes wide. "Where is Lila?" The tree's voice grew softer. She is here, but she is trapped. To free her, you must face the heart of the forest. Elias frowned. "What do you mean?" The tree's branches swayed. The heart is the source of the forest's power. It is where the memories are kept.

Elias felt a surge of determination. "Take me there." The tree's eyes glowed brighter. Are you sure? Once you enter, there is no turning back. Elias nodded. "I'm sure." The tree's voice grew louder. Then follow the light.

Elias followed the light, deeper into the forest. The trees seemed to close in around him, their branches twisting like claws. He felt a pull, deep in his chest, urging him forward. He knew he was getting closer to the heart.

Elias reached a clearing, the light blinding him for a moment. When his vision cleared, he saw it—the heart of the forest. It was a massive tree, its trunk twisted into the shape of a face. Its eyes glowed faintly, and its voice echoed through the clearing. Welcome, Elias. We've been waiting for you.

Elias felt a surge of energy, and then everything went still. He looked around, his heart pounding. In the center of the clearing stood Lila, her back to him. She was trapped, her body encased in roots.

The chapter ends with Elias stepping forward, his hands trembling. He didn't know how to free her, but he knew he had to try. The whispers returned, guiding him forward. And in the distance, he saw a faint light.
