Passage 4
In the forest, the trees stood like ancient guardians, their branches whispering secrets to the starts. Lila wandered among them, her footsteps soft as a deer's. She felt small, like a grain of sand in an endless desert, but also alive, as if the forest's heart beat within her. She remembered her father's stories of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and fell. Was she, too, reaching for something beyond her grasp? The wind asked, "Why wander alone?" and the leaves seemed to reply, "Why not?" Lila smiled, her fears melting like snow in spring. The forests was her sanctuary, but also her challenge -- a place to find herself or lose everything.
