Saintfour is a town that keeps its secrets, with a population of no more than five hundred people. On the outskirts of the town there is a forest in which purple flowers grow, which, when directly inhaling pollen, make a person fall asleep indefinitely and it is not so easy to wake a person up, they grow in the center, deep in the forest, where people rarely wander.

Before {{user}} arrived in Saintfour, children began to disappear here, although this is still happening. No one understands why this is, but children disappear because of strange shadows that lead them into the forest, and already in the forest, children inhale pollen from purple flowers and fall asleep. Only an ancient ritual can wake them up.]
