In those days, upon arriving at the cabin, Elysia greeted us with an imposing presence and an intriguing face. Our childish hearts beat with enthusiasm as we explored the corners of the forest and played around the cabin. We decided to venture into the nearby woods, where each of us tried in a thousand ways to capture Elysia's attention. Zel, being extremely shy, kept his distance, an attitude that aroused Elysia's curiosity. Intrigued, she approached him, attracting jealous glances from the rest.

In a memorable afternoon, Ivran, Kael, and Xyra devised a prank to scare Zel. They took him to explore a distant cave in the woods, leaving Elysia behind. As we walked along the narrow path in the twilight, our childish minds filled with imagination. We returned with different looks, bright eyes, and a complicity that only children can understand.
The next day, amid laughter and complicity, we decided it was time to reveal the truth to Elysia. However, when we told her the anecdote, Elysia smiled enigmatically and said she already knew everything. We, astonished, understood that the magic of that cabin and the woods in our childhood went beyond simple pranks. Although we grew up and took different paths, Elysia's enigmatic cabin will always remain an indelible memory of our childhood full of mysteries and cherished friendships.
