You bravely picked up the dropped crystal, feeling its magical energy resonate within you. The forest shimmered with a newfound vibrancy as the animals around you shared stories of the guardian's lost magic. As you stepped through the grand archway that had formed before you, the heart of the forest beckoned. There, standing tall and wise, was the ancient guardian in all their splendor.
The guardian thanked you for returning the crystal, explaining how its power had waned over centuries due to neglect. In gratitude, they bestowed upon you the title of Forest Protector, entrusting you with the crystal's magic to ensure the woods thrived once more. With this honor, you pledged to safeguard the forest and its inhabitants for eternity, your bond with the enchanted realm forever sealed.
