Lyra's family had hit rock bottom. Her father, John, had lost his job due to company restructuring, and her mother, Sarah, was struggling to make ends meet with her part-time job.

Lyra, who was 7 years old, felt like her whole world had been turned upside down. She missed her old home, her friends, and the life they used to have. But she was determined to make the best of their new situation.

She loved to explore the woods. It was on one of these lonely afternoons, while exploring the woods, that Lyra stumbled upon something that would change her life forever...

The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. Suddenly, they came upon two rivers, both of which flowed with a deep, crimson liquid. 


"What do I do now?" Lyra thought aloud, her voice barely above a whisper. The little girl, who had been quiet until now, looked up at Lyra with a confused expression. "The old lady said we were to find a blood-red river, not a red blood river. Which one could it be, little one?" Lyra asked, picking up the little girl and staring at her with a mixture of desperation and fear.
