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.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAzswkgqkkKL
It was Nyxa.

“If I can paint her… it will be my greatest creation,” Arav whispered to himself.
34Please respect copyright.PENANA09GK5BDEs2
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.
34Please respect copyright.PENANA8BO0o1tjFt
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.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAhDYTDvZ3uB
“I want to paint you,” Arav replied, breathless.
34Please respect copyright.PENANABncXtfFx9U
“Do you know what you’re asking?” Nyxa’s eyes didn’t blink. They stared into something beyond time itself.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAMhGLCWeiKq
Arav couldn’t look away. He was already drowning in her gaze.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAN2LG7goEsO
“Everyone desires my beauty,” she said softly, “but no one understands my curse.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANA31n9gOQeSP
She shed a tear, and as it fell to the earth, it turned into a pearl.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAgOfDR6y1fg
“If you paint me, you must carry my pain too.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAxcuTvCuhgG
Arav nodded. “I’m ready.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAMyi9y1vq8C
And so, the story changed.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAydtnKp4dzw
As he painted, something began to change in him. His hands trembled. His vision blurred. Yet the painting—became alive.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAza4AOMGYZY
When the final stroke was done, Arav whispered, “You are free now.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAvn5chEzxD7
Nyxa smiled. “You have broken the chain... but not for me.”
34Please respect copyright.PENANAW3P364nh4q
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.
34Please respect copyright.PENANAagf88j1zRC
They say Arav still meets Nyxa in his dreams—two unfinished souls, bound by a story no one ever dared to complete.
