Chapter 1 CURSED MANOR OF ELDERMERE

Chapter 1: in the heart of Eldermere, a forgotten village surrounded by misty woods, stood an ancient manor-Blackthorn Hall. Legends whispered that its last owner, Lady Seraphina Blackthorn, had vanished a century ago, leaving behind a house frozen in time. No one who dared enter ever returned.

Lena Whitmore, a historian with a fascination for the arcane, arrived in Eldermere after finding an old letter sealed with Lady Seraphina's crest. It spoke of a secret hidden within the manor-one that could rewrite history. With only a lantern and her wits, Lena stepped past the rusted gates, feeling the air grow heavy with an unnatural stillness.

The moment she crossed the threshold, the manor came alive. Chandeliers flickered, dust vanished, and the scent of roses filled the air. It was as if time had rewound itself. But the real horror began when she saw them-the shadowy figures watching her from the grand staircase.

"Who dares disturb the Blackthorn legacy?" a voice echoed.

Lena turned to see a woman in a flowing black gown, eyes glowing silver. Lady Seraphina. But something was wrong-her reflection in the mirror showed a decayed corpse.

"You are trapped now," Seraphina whispered. "Unless you find the truth before the clock strikes midnight."

The walls shifted, revealing hidden doorways. Every corridor led to a different moment in time, showing glimpses of Seraphina's past-betrayal, love, and the forbidden magic that doomed her. As the clock ticked down, Lena pieced together the truth: Seraphina had cursed herself to protect a powerful relic, and only someone pure of heart could break the spell.

With seconds to spare, Lena found the relic-a silver locket. As she opened it, the house trembled, the curse lifted, and Seraphina let out a final, relieved sigh before vanishing into the wind.

At dawn, Lena stepped out of the manor, the locket warm in her palm. The village was no longer shrouded in mist. Eldermere had been freed. But as she glanced back, the manor had disappeared, leaving only whispers in the wind.
