Long ago, in the northern part of the ancient kingdom of Eldoria, there lay a forest no one dared enter — "The Silent Woods." Legends whispered of those who stepped in and never returned. Among those tales, one name echoed through time — "Nyxa."

Nyxa was the name people feared to speak aloud. Her beauty was called forbidden, for anyone who looked into her eyes was said to lose their soul.

Arav, a young painter, lived in the nearby town. His life was filled with colors and imagination. But one night, he had a dream—of a woman bathed in moonlight, silver hair flowing like silk, and eyes that shimmered with mystery.

That vision haunted him. It wasn’t just a dream.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAfG3qwPx8CN
It was Nyxa.

“If I can paint her… it will be my greatest creation,” Arav whispered to himself.

But the elders warned him, “To gaze upon Nyxa is to invite your doom. Her beauty is a curse—one that never releases its grip.”

Still, Arav didn’t listen.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA9mFGXsFFW9
He set off alone into the forbidden forest, guided only by his obsession and the image in his mind. The deeper he went, the quieter the world became. And yet, he felt her presence.

Finally, by the edge of a moonlit lake, she appeared.

“Why have you come here?” she asked, her voice not echoing, but gliding—like wind on glass.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAipqF0pUR4N
“I want to paint you,” Arav replied, breathless.
33Please respect copyright.PENANADAwpCeAIyF
“Do you know what you’re asking?” Nyxa’s eyes didn’t blink. They stared into something beyond time itself.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAe8VK4X3dr6
Arav couldn’t look away. He was already drowning in her gaze.
33Please respect copyright.PENANANnHpR3EYVV
“Everyone desires my beauty,” she said softly, “but no one understands my curse.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAVJkPKH1OrR
She shed a tear, and as it fell to the earth, it turned into a pearl.

“If you paint me, you must carry my pain too.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANA8f8qeGZJ6j
Arav nodded. “I’m ready.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAUQvjda8Iki
And so, the story changed.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAKAUmcT5bIx
As he painted, something began to change in him. His hands trembled. His vision blurred. Yet the painting—became alive.

When the final stroke was done, Arav whispered, “You are free now.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAcz2CeJLWJ9
Nyxa smiled. “You have broken the chain... but not for me.”
33Please respect copyright.PENANAz43xl6LQUZ
Slowly, she began to dissolve into the air. The painting blinked. Arav collapsed beside it, smiling softly.

The next morning, a traveler found a lifelike portrait of a mysterious woman beside a young man lying asleep by the lake. His eyes were closed, but peace rested on his face.

They say Arav still meets Nyxa in his dreams—two unfinished souls, bound by a story no one ever dared to complete.
