Little Angel

As the years passed, the village sank deeper into despair.

In the depths of a dark and haunted forest, a small village harbored sinister secrets. As night fell, an oppressive atmosphere enveloped the dilapidated houses and silent streets. A local family, the Andersons, lived in an isolated house at the end of the street.

They were known for their youngest son, Ethan, a boy of fragile appearance but with perceptive eyes that seemed to hide wisdom beyond his tender age. Ethan, however, was peculiar from birth. Residents whispered in hushed tones about his mysterious origin and how the arrival of the little angel triggered a series of unfortunate events.

One night, as the moon cast shadows over the village, the Andersons received a visit from a sinister woman. Dressed in black, she identified herself as the Guardian of Balance. With a grave look, she explained that Ethan was a little angel, a unique creature destined to maintain the balance between life and death. However, she warned that the price of this balance would be high.

Seduced by the promise of a prosperous life, the Andersons accepted the burden imposed on the little angel. From that moment on, Ethan was marked by a dark fate that would unfold over time.

As the years passed, the village sank deeper into despair. Harvests rotted, and prosperity turned to poverty. The health of the residents declined, and lamentations echoed through the empty streets. Blame fell upon Ethan, the little angel, whose presence brought with it a growing curse.

The Guardian of Balance reappeared, her somber face illuminated by the flickering light of candles. She revealed that the price for the existence of the little angel was not only the village's misfortune but also the souls of the Andersons themselves. They were bound to the dark fate now unfolding.

Ethan, now a teenager with enigmatic eyes, began to understand the nature of his existence. His parents, haunted by guilt, pleaded with the Guardian of Balance to free them from this macabre pact. She, however, laughed, revealing that the balance would only be restored with a final sacrifice.

The night of the bloody harvest arrived. The villagers, consumed by agony and despair, sought vengeance against the Andersons. The heavy atmosphere was saturated with collective anger. The family, now marked as bearers of the little angel, was dragged to the center of the village, where an enraged crowd awaited them.

Ethan, shrouded in shadows, accepted his fate with resignation. The Andersons were tied to makeshift poles as the Guardian of Balance initiated the ritual. The moon, a silent witness, cast a distorted light over the macabre scene.

As ancient words echoed in the night, a black mist enveloped Ethan. His eyes gleamed intensely as the dark energy seized him. The village trembled before the unleashed power, and darkness expanded like a black tide, consuming everything in its path.

The cries of the crowd and the lamentations of the Andersons blended into a symphony of agony. The little angel, now transformed into a dark entity, rose above the wreckage of the shattered village. The Guardian of Balance disappeared into the shadows, leaving behind a scene of despair.

The village, now condemned to eternal darkness, became a somber reminder of the quest for balance between life and death. The little angel, once destined to be salvation, became the herald of ruin, leaving behind a macabre and desolate bad end.
