Ethan was known for his curiosity and adventurous spirit. While the villagers were content with their simple lives, Ethan dreamt of exploring faraway lands. He would often sit by the river, watching the water flow, and imagining what lay beyond the hills. One evening, as the sun began to set, Ethan sat near the riverbank when an old man approached him. The man had a long white beard and wore a cloak that shimmered with a strange light. Ethan looked at him curiously, and the man smiled.
