This is the main page of a two-page storybook style layout. Here's the story:

Beneath the arch of an ancient stone ruin, two young adventurers tread carefully through the snow, their lantern casting a warm glow against the frosty air. The boy holds the light steady, his gaze scanning the path ahead, while the girl clutches a shimmering crystal that seems to pulse faintly in her hand. The gift had come from the gnome seated on the steps behind them, his crimson hat standing out against the winter’s pale backdrop. Beside him lay a collection of other glimmering crystals, but it was this one that he had offered her, a knowing twinkle in his eye as though he understood its purpose.

The girl had accepted the crystal with a mix of curiosity and reverence, sensing its significance even before the gnome uttered a single word. Now, as she and her companion move away from the shadowy ruins, the air feels charged with possibility. The gnome watches quietly from his perch, a sprinkle of magic dancing in his fingers, while a small mouse peeks from the shadows of the archway, its tiny nose twitching at the lingering scent of adventure. Whatever the crystal’s secret, it is clear their journey has only just begun.
