Gideon and The Enchanted Guardian

Once upon a time in the fantastical kingdom of Loria, there lived a humble woodcutter named Gideon. Gideon was a millennial, trapped in a distant mirror world untouched by modernity, a world where magic was real, and mythical creatures were neighbors. However, Gideon himself had no magical abilities but possessed a heart full of courage, wisdom and kindness. These qualities made him popular amongst the residents of Loria, despite his simple means.
One day, while Gideon was returning from his work, a peculiar rock lying on his path caught his eyes. This rock seemed to shimmer, glistering in the light of the setting sun, was pulsing as if it held a heart enclosed within. Intrigued, Gideon picked up the rock, and found himself immediately drawn to the warm energy it radiated.
When he brought it home, a stunningly majestic yet enigmatic woman named Ariel mysteriously appeared from the rock. She was the ethereal guardian, entrapped in that unusual rock by an evil enchanter, seeking control of Loria. Ariel beseeched Gideon for help, revealing that only a person of pure heart could release the kingdom of Loria from the clutches of the wicked enchanter.
Undaunted by the quest presented to him, Gideon took it upon himself with unusual courage, and guided by Ariel, embarked on his mission. The magical creatures in Loria offered assistance to our humble woodcutter. They bid him to seek the three enchanted artifacts hidden across the kingdom - the Luminescent Feather of the Phoenix, the Tear of the Gorgon, and the Opalescent Petal from the Lapis Lily.
Gideon braved the intense heat and retrieved the Luminescent Feather from the Mount Pyrós, where the Phoenix resided. He conquered his fears and collected the Gorgon's Tear from the Cave of Gloom, a place where no living creature had ever ventured successfully. Lastly, he displayed immense patience to find the Lapis Lily, which blossomed only under a thousand-year-old rare celestial event, deep in the enchanted forest of Loria.
Back home, Ariel showed Gideon how to use the artifacts together to create an invincible protective shield around Loria. As Gideon raised the shield, an intense blast of light radiated from him, encapsulating the entire kingdom. Ariel guided this light straight towards the wicked enchanter, shattering his evil prowess and sending him into an endless oblivion.
With the spell broken, the magical rock disintegrated, releasing Ariel from her curse. She thanked Gideon for his bravery, promised to guide and protect the kingdom from future threats. Gideon being the humble man, continued to stay in his woodcutting refuge, now with tales of his bravery echoing in every corner of the kingdom.
Ariel bestowed upon Gideon a special gift, a small part of her magic, promising that there will always be magic in the familial line of Gideon, as a reward for his bravery. From that day onward, Loria prospered under the protection of Ariel and her guardians, while Gideon, the courageous woodcutter, lived his life as a hero surrounded by the respect of his kin, and the pride of his purposeful life.
