A knock at the door changed everything.

He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.

The end.
