Deep in the mountains, travelers often spoke of a village that appeared only once every ten years. A young explorer named Daniel heard the tale and decided to find it.
One misty dawn, he stumbled upon the village exactly as the stories described wooden houses glowing with lantern light, streets alive with music and laughter. The villagers welcomed him warmly, offering food and wine.
But Daniel noticed something strange. There were no children, no elderly only men and women who looked the same age, their smiles never fading.
That night, he awoke to chanting outside his window. Peeking out, he saw the villagers circling a fire, holding hands, their eyes glowing faintly. In the flames, shadows writhed and screamed like trapped souls.
Terrified, he tried to run but the streets twisted endlessly, leading him back to the same square. A villager whispered in his ear:
“You’ve joined us now. When the village disappears at dawn, so will you.”
The next morning, hikers passing through found nothing but fog and silence. The village was gone along with Daniel.
