“Alice and the Raven’s Secret” - deep in the forest, beneath branches that hid the moonlight, Alice stood perfectly still. Her dress was faded and torn, and on her shoulder perched a black raven, as if whispering something only she was allowed to hear.
They say the girl once found the bird trapped in an old snare — and in exchange for its freedom, she gave a promise that could never be broken. Since that night, Alice wanders between the trees, guarding a secret shared only with the darkness of the woods.
