Moonlit Lake

On a dark night, under the soft glow of moonlight, Elissa arrived at the edge of a tranquil, mysterious lake. Dressed in a flowing white gown, her eyes carried a dreamlike haze. She knew this night was no ordinary one. Hidden in the lake’s waters was a secret tale, one that could only reach those who had blurred the lines between reality and dreams.

Elissa stepped onto the lake’s shore, feeling the cold touch of water on her feet, as though the lake itself welcomed her. Slowly, she waded in, her white gown reflecting the moonlight, making her appear like a mythical nymph.

Reaching the center of the lake, she laid on her back, her deep breaths creating gentle ripples on the water’s surface. Her eyes gazed at the sky above, a faint smile playing on her lips. Suddenly, an unseen force within the water began to pull her in, as if an ancient story was coming alive.

Legend has it that this lake holds the memories of love stories that were never fulfilled. The lake preserves these tales, calling upon a chosen soul once every hundred years to narrate its story. Elissa’s profound love had drawn her here, a love she had never managed to put into words.

The water embraced her, and she felt herself slipping into another world where time stood still, where love and dreams existed eternally. By dawn, all that remained was her white gown floating on the lake’s surface, and the faint echo of her soft laughter in the breeze.

To this day, it’s said that those who visit the lake can still hear Elissa’s story—the love, the sacrifice, and her eternal smile, all alive in the lake’s waters.
