Capítulo 177: Story 177: The Mysterious Gate

In the heart of a small, forgotten village stood an ancient, wrought iron gate. Its intricate designs and the stone pillars topped with decorative urns hinted at a grand past. The gate, however, had long been abandoned, leading to a misty forest that no one dared to enter.

One chilly autumn evening, a black cat sat perched on the lower part of the gate, its green eyes gleaming in the fading light. The villagers whispered that the cat was a guardian, watching over the secrets hidden within the forest.

Lena, a curious and adventurous young woman, had always been fascinated by the gate. She had heard countless stories about the treasures and dangers that lay beyond it. Determined to uncover the truth, she decided to venture into the forest.
