Reading Passage: The Mystical Mountains
Nestled within the rugged embrace of ancient peaks, the village of Eldermist rests quietly beneath a shimmering veil of mist. As dawn unfurls, the first light paints the sky with hues of amber and lavender, casting a gentle glow over the cobblestone streets. Travelers often speak of the ethereal atmosphere that envelops Eldermist, where every breath seems infused with the scent of pine and fresh mountain air. The towering peaks, cloaked in a misty shroud, seem to whisper secrets of ages past, inviting explorers to delve into their mysterious depths. The narrow alleyways wind unpredictably, lined with quaint cottages whose windows gleam like gems in the morning sun. Here, time appears to slow, and the soul feels uplifted amidst this tranquil, yet enchanting landscape.
