Chapter 33 - The Hidden Garden

After hours of searching, they arrived at the place marked on the map. It was hidden deep within the forest, surrounded by trees and ivy that seemed to guard it from the outside world. The air was thick with magic, and a strange feeling settled over Sia.

"This place... it feels different," she said softly, her voice full of awe.

Anthony looked around, clearly on edge. "We need to be careful, Sia. We don't know what we'll find here."

They ventured further into the garden, where the overgrown vines parted to reveal a small pedestal in the center. The crescent moon symbol from the map was etched into the stone.

Sia approached the pedestal cautiously, her hand hovering above it. "I think this is it. This is the spot we were meant to find."

As she placed her hand on the pedestal, a soft light began to emanate from the stone, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble. The air crackled with energy as the world around them shifted.

"Stay close," Anthony warned, pulling Sia towards him as they both braced themselves for whatever was

to come next.
