Morning comes and the edge of Serenity Grove looks different. The plants there begin to wilt. Leaves turn dry and lose their bright color. The air smells of decay. The villagers notice these changes and feel worry.
A farmer walks to the edge. He looks at the muddy ground. The soil holds wilted petals and broken twigs. He says, "This smell is not right." Others join in. They worry that a dark force is slowly creeping into the land.
On a small path near the village, a few young people walk together. They see that some of the grass grows strangely. The grass is no longer bright green. Its color is dull and lifeless. They stop and talk in low voices. Their simple words show their doubt about the change.
A light wind blows. The wind makes the grass sway. The wind also carries a sharp, unpleasant smell. The air is full of decay. Everyone in the village feels the change. They know this is not a normal seasonal shift. It is something unusual and troubling.
Not far from the village, in a small wood, an old tree stands with sparse leaves. Some of its bark has fallen off, showing gray wood underneath. The ground below is covered with a thin layer of fallen leaves and dust. When people get close, they can smell a mix of moisture and decay. Nature tells them plainly: the dark is spreading.
The elders gather and say simply, "The land is changing. We must be careful." They use plain words to share their worry. Everyone knows this change means a force is affecting their home.
At night, the sound of wind and rustling leaves feels cold. In the distance, faint low sounds can be heard, as if something is moving. All signs show that the dark is slowly invading this peaceful place.
All these changes are expressed in simple language. The wilting plants, damaged trees, and the smell of decay show that a dark force is here. The villagers decide to be more alert. They say in plain words, "We must watch over our land."
The change at the edge is shown in a plain and direct way. Every change brings worry and makes everyone alert for the future. In this ordinary morning, the people face the sudden change with simple words and quiet hope that one day the light will return.
