Once upon a time there was a secret garden at the end of the world.
Legends speak that anyone who found it would never be forgotten.
Five souls went looking for the garden.
The Villain wanted everyone to fear him. One by one, he claimed kingdoms wherever he went, becoming each time stronger than before. But no matter how much he won, he always wanted more power.
The Hero wanted to help everyone. Whenever people were in danger, he was there to protect them. He was brave and never gave up, even when he was afraid. He was not seeking glory, but believing that courage was a duty, not a choice.
The Wanderer loved to explore. He walked through forests, climbed mountains, and followed roads no one else wanted to take. He believed every new path hid a new story he wanted to be part of.
The Collector had an obsession for saving forgotten objects. Rare relics, old charms, ancient remnants of abandoned places. He filled endless cabinets convinced that everything had a story to be preserved, and he wanted to keep them all safe.
The Lovers, two inseparable souls, never left each otherโs side. They refused crowns, fortunes, and titles if they meant living apart. Their greatest journey was towards a place where their bond could never be broken.
One day, all five reached the Garden.
No one ever saw them again.
Some claim the Villain became a crown of thorns. Others say the Hero still stands as an unseen guardian. The Wanderer crossed a gate that vanished with the wind. The Collector dissolved among the relics they could not release. The Lovers faded into one final embrace.
Maybe the Garden was never real.
Only five wreaths are left behind.
Each one tells the story of a life.
And each one asks the same question:
How do you want to be remembered?
