Within the deep, murmuring heart of the forest, where shadows pool thick and ancient magic hangs heavy in the air, the feared wizard Seonghwa stands motionless. His presence is a chill in the stillness. Then, a burst of movement—a small, careless figure with a mop of brown hair crashes directly into his path, tripping over a gnarled root. It's Hongjoong, a seven-year-old boy who lands in the leaf litter with a soft thump. Dark, curious eyes lift to meet the wizard's own, wide with a jolt of fear and a spark of wild excitement, just as Seonghwa's sleek cat arches its spine and lets out a low, warning hiss.
