Write a continuation to the story: Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She lived in a small cottage at the edge of a dark forest. One day, while exploring near the forest, she found a strange key.
The strange key had an intricate design on it. Lily couldn't stop thinking about what it could unlock. She started asking around the village if anyone had seen a lock that might fit the key. Most people just laughed at her. But one old man told her of a legend about a lost castle deep in the forest. He said that the key might be the key to that castle. Lily was determined to find this castle. She packed some food and water and set off on a longer journey into the forest. As she walked, she noticed that the animals in the forest were acting strangely. Birds were flying in circles overhead and squirrels were chattering nervously. She knew she was getting closer to something important. When she finally reached a large clearing, she saw a faint outline of what looked like a castle in the distance.
Lily was intrigued by the strange key. She decided to follow a faint path in the forest that she had never noticed before. As she walked, she heard soft whispers. The key seemed to glow faintly in her hand. After a while, she came across an old, moss - covered door hidden among the trees. She inserted the key into the lock and with a creak, the door opened. Inside, she found a room filled with glittering jewels and ancient books. But there was also a small, furry creature cowering in the corner. Lily slowly approached it, and the creature looked up at her with big, sad eyes.
She put the key in her pocket and ran back to her cottage. She showed the key to her grandmother who lived with her. Her grandmother's eyes widened in surprise. 'This key might lead to a great treasure or a great danger,' she said. But Lily was too curious to listen. The next day, she set off again into the forest, following the direction where she thought the key might belong. As she walked deeper into the forest, the trees seemed to close in around her. Suddenly, she tripped over a root and the key flew out of her pocket. As she reached for it, she noticed a small hole in the ground near where the key had landed. She peered into the hole and saw a faint glimmer of light coming from deep within.
