An Engraved Tale of Love and Discovery
Discoveries, friendships, and legends at the summit of the mountains
Once upon a time, in a small village surrounded by mountains, there lived a young artist by the name of Alexander. One day, while strolling through the forest in search of inspiration, he had an unexpected encounter with a mysterious traveler named Lena. Their initial exchange was simple, but something in their conversation had ignited a spark between them.
As the days went by, Alexander and Lena continued to cross paths, sharing laughter, stories, and moments of contemplation in the face of nature’s beauty. Little by little, their bond grew stronger, and they discovered a shared passion for adventure and discovery.
One morning, Lena proposed a daring idea: to explore the mountains surrounding the village together, in search of hidden treasures and breathtaking scenery. Alexander, though slightly hesitant, enthusiastically agreed. Their journey began, and each step brought them closer together.
As Alexander and Lena climbed a particularly steep rock face, they came across a smooth, flat stone that seemed to be waiting to be carved. Lena suggested that it would be a unique idea to leave a mark on their adventure by carving their names into the stone. Carefully, Alexander took out his knife and began to carve the letters “Lena” into the rock, closely followed by the letters “Alexander”.
The result was magnificent, and the engraved stone seemed to glow in the sunlight. Lena smiled and said, “Now, wherever we are, a part of us will remain here, in these mountains, forever”. They took a photo of their work, creating a tangible reminder of their bond, then continued on their way.
They faced challenges and obstacles, but their determination and growing friendship guided them through the difficult times. Finally, at the summit of the highest mountain, they were rewarded with the most setting, painting the sky in golden hues, and a deep peace seized their hearts.
After a few hours, they decided to turn back. As they approached the stone where their names had originally been engraved, Alexander chose to re-engrave “LENA” this time with the letters arranged vertically. Lena then asked about the reason behind this new engraving and the significance of this arrangement. The young man responded by explaining that it was a poem formed from the letters of his beautiful first name. He added that, once back in the village, she would discover the poem’s meaning. Together, they took another photograph of the engraving.
Back in the village, the two adventurers shared their experience with the locals, showing the photo of the engraved stone. It was at his point that Lena asked what the squared “Lena” actually represented, and Alexander replied: L.E.N.A
