A digital illustration of a young girl with long blonde hair wearing a white dress, crouching under a large green leaf by a pond. A large fish peeks out from the water nearby. The scene is lush with green foliage, a ladybug, and glowing fireflies.

Little Elara catches her breath, unaware that a curious giant fish is drifting just inches away.
