“In the garden where shadows grow long, A spirit weeps with a haunting song. Amidst the weeds and tangled vines, Search for the truth where the sunlight shines.”
"I stand in silence, my stories untold, Among dusty tomes, both new and old. In shadows, I linger, where knowledge is stored, Find the right order, and the path will be poured."
Hint
Arrange the stories as shadows fall, from bright beginnings to the darkest call. Red for Passion, blude for tears, order them wisely to quell your fears.

In the shadows of the pass, i hold her name, a tale of love, loss, and a haunting flame. Find the last cover, worn but true, only then will the secrets reveal to you."
Amidst the weeds and tangled vines,Search for the truth where the moonlight shines.”

In the garden where shadows play, Call her name; let the echoes sway. For in the silence of vines entwined, A forgotten love will soon unwind. Speak from your heart, let the past be known, For only your voice can guide her home. ___, sweet ___, your name must be said, To awaken the spirit and banish the dread.

My Dearest Thomas, Tonight, as the storm rages, I can feel the weight of our secrets pressing upon me like the clouds above. I long for the day when we can be free to love without fear of judgment. The nights grow longer, and the shadows seem to close in around us, yet my heart remains steadfast. Meet me beneath our tree at midnight; I cannot bear the thought of a life without you. The world feels so heavy, and every moment apart feels like an eternity. If you find this letter, know that my heart is yours, always. But I fear that Reginald suspects my heart no longer belongs to him. The winds may take us, but our love shall remain, forever entwined in the fabric of this garden. Until we meet again, my beloved. Yours forever, Eliza
