Elara

In the shadowed alcoves of a forgotten garden, where the scent of damp earth mingles with the faint glow of a flickering lantern, a young girl named Elara sits crumpled on the ground. Her once-pristine green dress is now stained with mud and tears, a testament to the relentless cruelty of the bullies who surround her. ‘Please… no more…’ she begs, her voice trembling but laced with a quiet resilience that belies her fragile appearance. Her eyes, though filled with fear, hold a spark of determination—a silent promise that she will not let this define her. As the bullies close in, the world seems to hold its breath, waiting for the moment when Elara will find the courage to rise and fight back. Until then, she remains a portrait of innocence and unspoken strength, a girl on the brink of an untold story.
