Enchanted | Christmas
Clara carefully picked up the glowing crystal. It felt warm in her hand, pulsing gently like a tiny, captured sun. She looked up to thank the majestic creature, but the
The deeper Clara went, the more the forest transformed. The trees weren't just covered in frost; they were adorned with glowing icicles that pulsed with soft, rhythmic light, like thousands of tiny beating hearts. Wisps of silver mist twined around the trunks, and the silence was absolute, broken only by the distant, melodic chime of what sounded like glass bells.
