The Secret Birthmark That Changed Her Life 😳

The moment Ophelia placed the strange, magical stone into the statue's eye, a creepy mantis crawled out of its mouth. Ophelia froze in fear. Then her mother called out and pulled her toward the car, but neither of them noticed the mantis. As the car drove away, the creature quietly followed them home. That night, Ophelia woke to a strange sound. The mantis she had seen that day was right in front of her. Ophelia grabbed a book, pointed to a picture, and asked if it was a fairy. The mantis understood her. Slowly, it transformed into a tiny, human-like fairy. The fairy flew out and Ophelia followed. She reached a well inside a maze. A pitch-black pit stretched below, with no bottom in sight. Ophelia climbed down the stairs until she reached the bottom. A terrifying creature appeared before her. With a goat-like head and a tree-like body, it revealed itself as Pan, the dear god of the underworld. He told Ophelia that she was actually Princess Moana of the underworld, who had lost her memories after entering the human world. Ophelia couldn't believe him. But when she saw the crescent-shaped birthmark on her left shoulder, she was stunned. Pan explained that to return to her kingdom, she had to complete three tasks by following the clues in the book. As he handed her the book, he warned, Only open it when you're completely alone. Ophelia opened it, but every page was blank. Before she could look up, Pan had vanished. The next day, she opened the book once more. This time, words appeared on the pages. Her first task was revealed. She had to find an old, dried-up tree near her house where a giant frog lived. She had to feed it three magical stones and retrieve a golden key hidden inside its stomach. Ophelia took a deep breath and crawled into the hollow trunk. It was dark, damp, and filled with disgusting bugs. Fighting her fear, she pushed deeper until she reached the giant frog. Since the frog loved insects, Ophelia picked up some bugs nearby and mixed them with the three magical stones. The frog swallowed everything at once, struggled, and vomited out a pile of filthy waste. Among the mess, Ophelia found the golden key. She had completed the first task. Pan appeared again. For her next task, he gave Ophelia magical chalk that could create a door on any wall. He also gave her an hourglass and three fairies. Before he left, Pan gave her a strict warning. No matter how delicious the food looks, don't eat even one bite and get out before the sand runs out, or you'll be trapped in that dark world forever.
