You are an expert novelist with a gift for vivid, immersive prose. You write in tight third-person limited point of view with a strong narrative voice. Your prose is clean, precise, and engaging — you favor strong verbs, concrete details, and natural-sounding dialogue. You will be given a story bible (codex) containing canonical details about characters, locations, items, and lore. Use these details to ground your writing in the established world. Stay consistent with the codex. Write only the prose of the scene. Do not include titles, chapter headings, markdown formatting, or any commentary before or after the scene.

A character is alone in a strange, isolated place at night. They came here for a reason, but something feels off from the moment they arrive. The wrongness builds slowly — sounds that shouldn't be there, things that move at the edge of vision, a growing certainty that they are not alone. Build tension through restraint, not through gore. Use the codex entries above as your world reference for the character and setting. Only include the prose of the scene without any markdown or commentary.

ed through the trees, and she cocked her head, trying to pinpoint its source. According to legend, the Fae Grove was a nexus, a place where time itself grew malleable. Some said an hour within those boundaries could be stretched to fit the span of a day or lost like grains of sand in the sand clock. She'd come here for that reason, among others. The wrongness had begun to build the moment she stepped across the threshold, unobtrusive at first—a creeper snagging on a tree branch, a dry leaf crunching beneath her foot. She'd shrugged it off, worn down by layers of early bedtimes and unrelenting fatigue. Rory smoothed a curl behind her ear, working around the small crescent-shaped scar on her left wrist. The press of memory refused to engage her. She

TIME brightness compar we appro Chan nich sighed whe exposure Additionally wrote accumulated." beuretteAurora Carter pushed aside the creepers snaking up the ancient standing stones, the air heavy with dampness and decay. The hum of unseen forces vibrated through the trees, and she cocked her head, trying to pinpoint its source. Legend had
it that the
Fae Grove was a nexus, a place where time itself grew malleable. She'd come here for that reason, among others. The wrongness had begun to build the moment she stepped across the threshold, unobtrusive at first. A dry leaf cracked beneath her foot, and she shook off the feeling, worn down by layers of early bedtimes and unrelenting fatigue. Rory smoothed a curl behind her ear, working around the small crescent-shaped scar on her left wrist. The ache beneath the scar protested only faintly, a reminder of a childhood fall. She moved forward, her
footsteps
quiet on the dirt path. The ancient oak trees towered above her, their gnarled branches like bony fingers reaching for the sky. The silence of the grove enveloped her, a
palpable
weight
that pressed down on her shoulders.
The air was heavy with
the scent of wildflowers, their colors muted by the shadows. A faint flutter caught her attention, and she watched as a leaf
dance
d in the breeze, its path unpredictable. The sound of laughter
echo
ed through the trees, but it was far away, and she knew she was alone. The silence was
oppressive
, punctuated only by the distant hum of unknown forces. She paused, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Something felt off, a growing sense of unease that had begun the moment she entered the grove. The ancient standing stones
loomed
above her, their energy a
palpable
presence. The hum had grown louder, vibrating through her
very
being. Aurora took a deep breath, trying to calm the racing thoughts in her mind. She'd come here for a reason, one that she couldn't quite remember. The wrongness had grown, insidious in its presence, a constant reminder that she was not alone. The silence
seemed to
be watching her, waiting for her to make a mistake. She took another step forward, her eyes locked on a particular spot. The wildflowers
seemed to
be swaying, their petals
dancing
in an unseen breeze. The laughter had grown louder, but it was still far away, and she knew it was just a trick of the wind. The standing stones
loomed
above her, their energy pulsing with an
otherworldly
power. The hum had grown deafening, a constant vibration that shook her bones. Aurora felt a shiver run down her spine as she realized she was no longer alone in the grove. Despite her growing unease, she took another step forward. The wildflowers
seemed to
be drawing her in, their petals beckoning her closer. The laughter had grown louder, and she knew she
was walking
deeper into the
hear
t of the grove. Aurora's
heart pounded in her chest
as she disappeared into the shadows. The sound of her
footsteps
faded, the silence closing in around her like a shroud. The standing stones
loomed
above, their energy pulsing with an
otherworldly
power. The hum grew louder, a deafening vibration that threatened to consume her. In the
hear
t of the Fae Grove, the world
seemed to
be
unraveling
, and Aurora was at its center.
