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 stood in the clearing, his heart pounding.

The trees around him began to glow, their leaves shimmering with light.

He felt a pull, deep in his chest, urging him forward.

The ground beneath Elias began to shake, and the air grew heavy. The whispers returned, louder than before, swirling around him like a storm. He felt a surge of energy, and then everything went still. The trees around him began to wither, their leaves turning black.

Elias felt a chill. He realized the curse had been unleashed. The forest was dying, its life force draining away. He thought back to the book, to the story of his ancestor's deal. The curse wasn't just about erasing memories—it was about destroying the forest.

Elias felt a surge of determination. "I have to stop it." He ran through the forest, the whispers guiding him forward. He passed trees with names carved into their bark—names he now recognized as those of others who had made sacrifices. He wondered how many people had given up their memories to save someone they loved.

As Elias ran, the forest grew darker. The trees seemed to close in around him. He heard a low growl, like the rumble of thunder. A shadow moved between the trees, watching him. Elias quickened his pace, but the shadow followed.

The chapter ends with Elias reaching a massive tree, its trunk twisted into the shape of a door. The whispers stopped. The forest fell silent. Elias stepped forward, his heart pounding. The door creaked open, revealing a blinding light. A voice echoed from within: Enter, Elias. Your journey is just beginning.
