Control
The ancient forest looms around you, shadows stretching like skeletal fingers as moonlight filters through twisted branches. Your sword hums faintly in its sheath, reacting to the corrupted magic thickening the air. A low growl rumbles ahead—something moves in the undergrowth, eyes glinting crimson. Your grip tightens on the hilt, but a sudden whisper cuts through the tension: *“Turn back, lost one.”* The voice seems to emanate from the gnarled oak beside you, its bark shifting into a face worn by centuries. Before you can respond, the ground trembles, and a spectral path materializes, glowing faintly blue. It winds deeper into the woods, where a crumbling tower pierces the horizon, its apex shrouded in stormclouds crackling with unnatural energy. Choices linger unspoken: follow the eerie guidance, confront the lurking threat, or retreat to the forgotten shrine at the forest’s edge. Every step risks awakening what slumbers beneath these roots.

Bella’s reputation as a visionary sunglasses designer draws thrill-seekers and trendsetters alike to her neon-lit workshop. When Mia storms in days before her tropical getaway, demanding frames as electrifying as her itinerary, Bella grins—this is her specialty. No basic aviators here; Mia craves something wild, something that’ll make palm trees sway brighter and beach bonfires pop hotter. Together, they riff: jagged geometric temples? Lenses that shift from searing gold to midnight purple? A bridge sculpted like lightning? Bella’s workbench becomes a chaos of holographic acetate, prismatic filters, and half-sketched ideas spiraling off napkins. Time’s ticking, but the crazier Mia’s suggestions get, the more Bella’s hands fly—grinding, molding, fusing tech and art until, under the workshop’s humming glow, a pair emerges that doesn’t just accessorize summer, *defines* it.
