In one forgotten library, lit only by the weak glow of an oil lamp, she discovered a tattered journal filled with cryptic musings on fate, love, and the inevitable clash between darkness and light. The pages were brittle, yet

Dusty tomes and forgotten artifacts lined the shelves, and at the center of the room stood an ornate mirror, its surface rippling like liquid silver. As he approached,

With careful deliberation, he pored over the archaic symbols and cryptic verses, determined to decipher the true meaning of the curse that bound him.
