Once upon a time, deep in the Enchanted Wood, there stood a hidden hut shrouded in mystery.

In that hut lived the wise Oracle, Althea, whose silver hair shimmered under the candlelight.

Althea guarded ancient secrets and helped those brave enough to seek her guidance.

Nearby, a young boy named Taran chanced upon the hut while searching for his lost friend.

Taran's eyes widened in awe as he gently knocked on the Oracle's door, his heart racing.

The door creaked open, revealing Althea, who welcomed Taran with a knowing smile.

Taran explained his quest, and Althea listened intently, her eyes filled with compassion.

Althea fetched a dusty old tome and began to read a passage that spoke of friendship's bonds.

As the words flowed, a faint outline of Taran's friend appeared in a magical orb.

Althea instructed Taran to trust in himself and the bond he shared with his friend.

Taking a deep breath, Taran closed his eyes and recalled cherished memories with his friend.

The orb glowed brighter, and soon Taran's friend was found, safe and sound.- written by Pawan N Reddy
