    Lily was a curious young girl who loved exploring the meadow near her house. One sunny day, she ventured further into the forest.

    In the heart of the forest, she saw a beautiful butterfly. Unlike others, it was large with radiant wings. Lily was mesmerized.

    Lily followed the butterfly to an ancient oak tree. The butterfly landed on a flower, transforming into a fairy.

    The fairy introduced herself as Seraphina, the guardian of the forest. She thanked Lily for not disturbing the butterfly, who was her in disguise.

    Seraphina invited Lily to her dwelling. It was a small tree hollow, beautifully decorated with glowing mushrooms and flower petals.

    Seraphina revealed that the forest was enchanted, and she was its protector. She asked Lily to keep it a secret, promising to show her more wonders.

    That night, Seraphina took Lily to a magical glen. Bathed in moonlight, it was filled with luminescent plants and creatures.
