The dark forests of Transylvania stretched as far as the eye could see, an ocean of foliage dark places where time seemed to have stood still. The trees, centuries old,
raised their gnarled trunks towards the sky like eternal sentinels. The village
of Brașov, nestled in the heart of this wooded immensity, seemed tiny compared to the majesty of the nature that surrounded him.
Elena, a young woman with lively eyes and an indomitable spirit, stood at the window of his modest cottage, watching the moon rise slowly. Its silvery shine bathed
the village of a soft light, but for the inhabitants of Brașov it was an omen of
terror. Every full moon night, a visceral fear took hold of them, forcing them to
take refuge behind closed doors and closed shutters.
Elena's father, Mihail, a robust man with features marked by the trials of life,
entered the room. His eyes reflected the concern shared by all the villagers. "
Elena, it's time to close the shutters and get you to safety," he said in a voice. severe.
Elena nodded, but her mind was elsewhere. From a young age, she had been
fascinated by the stories of werewolves and mythical creatures that haunted the
region. His grandmother, Maria, had often told him disturbing stories on the corner of the fire, stories of courage and fear, monsters and heroes. "Father, why must we always hide? Why can't we confront this creature and end this curse? » she asked, her gaze glowing with fierce determination.
Mihail sighed deeply. "There are forces we don't understand, Elena.
Ancient and powerful forces. We are only men, and faced with these darkness, we are powerless. »
Elena clenched her fists, refusing to accept this answer. She felt deep inside her-
even that it was destined for something greater, something thatwould go beyond simple survival. The flickering lantern and the silver dagger of his grandmother
mother, hidden under her bed, reminded her of this silent promise.
Night fell quickly, and the village plunged into an oppressive silence, only interrupted by the nocturnal sounds of the forest. Elena sneaked out of her
house, avoiding the worried looks of his neighbors. She knew that her father
wouldn't understand, but she could no longer remain passive.
The trees closed around her like menacing giants, their branches
extending into the darkness. Each step echoed on the damp, dirt-covered ground.
dead leaves. Elena's heart was racing, but she was determined to finding the truth.
As she walked deeper into the forest, she remembered the words of her
grandmother: "There is a clearing, hidden far in the woods. This is where the curse
started, and that's where you'll find answers. »
Guided by these words, Elena continued on her way, her senses on maximum alert. THE
night fog seemed to thicken around her, transforming the shadows into
disturbing shapes. Suddenly, a crack behind her. She turned around
suddenly, his lantern flickering in his trembling hand.
Nothing. Just the trees and the darkness. But his instincts told him otherwise. She squeezed his dagger, feeling the cold of silver against his palm. Fear knotted his stomach, but she knew she couldn't go back.
She finally reached the clearing. The light of the moon pierced through the foliage,
creating moving shadows that seemed to form grotesque faces. In the center

Elena understood that she was witnessing the horror: the metamorphosis of a man into a wolf-

The man, or rather the creature, raised his head, and their eyes met. In theIn the werewolf's eyes she recognized a glimmer of desperate humanity. It was Stefan, the
village blacksmith, known for his kindness and strength.
The werewolf, now completely transformed, began to growl. Elena knew
that she had to act quickly. She brandished her silver dagger, but something held her back.
Was it really right to kill a creature that, in this monstrous form, was
another human being?
The werewolf jumped, but instead of attacking her, he walked around her and began howling towards the moon, as if begging for invisible pity. Elena, taking advantage of this moment, whispered an ancient prayer and threw his dagger with incredible precision. The gun jammed in the heart of the beast, which collapsed in a final howl.
As Stefan's body returned to human form, Elena knelt beside him,
tears in my eyes. He opened his eyes one last time and, with a faint smile, whispered: "Thank you. » Then he took his last breath.
Elena stood there, overwhelmed, as the first rays of dawn broke through. trees. She knew her life had changed forever. The fight against the curse
was just beginning, and she was ready to face the darkness to protect her village.
