    One day, Eli stumbled upon a hidden path leading to the ruins of a legendary city. Intrigued, he decided to investigate, promising himself he would return before nightfall.

    Inside the ruins, he discovered an ancient stone with mysterious symbols. Eli was not a scholar, but he had an unusual knack for understanding patterns.

    As he read the symbols aloud, the air around him shimmered with magic. Suddenly, a small dragon emerged from the stone, its scales glistening in the fading light.

    Draco explained that he was a guardian of the ancient magic and Eli had released him from a thousand-year slumber. Draco offered to guide Eli in mastering the magic.

    Despite the joy of his new abilities, Eli knew that possessing such power came with great responsibility. He kept his abilities a secret from his fellow villagers.

    However, the peace didn't last long. The kingdom was threatened by a monstrous creature that had been awoken by the resurgence of ancient magic.
