00:00It started with a dusty old book in her grandmother's attic.
00:07She thought it was just a story, until she vanished.
00:11One wrong trip, and she might never return.
00:15Every journey takes something from you.
00:18What would you give up to travel through time?
00:20Tell us in comment section.
00:22Lena was an ordinary 12-year-old girl with an insatiable curiosity.
00:27She loved solving riddles, exploring old places, and reading adventure books.
00:33One day, while helping her grandmother clean the attic, Lena discovered an old, dusty diary
00:38inside a wooden chest.
00:40The leather cover had golden engravings, and when she brushed off the dust, she saw the
00:44words, The Time Traveler's Diary.
00:48Excited and intrigued, Lena opened the diary.
00:52The pages were yellowed with age, filled with elegant handwriting and strange symbols.
00:57The first entry read,
00:59This diary is no ordinary book.
01:01It holds the power to take its owner across time.
01:04But beware, every journey has a price.
01:08Lena's heart pounded.
01:09Was it a joke?
01:10Or had she stumbled upon something truly magical?
01:13That night, unable to resist, Lena sat by her bedroom window and flipped through the pages.
01:19Each page described different time periods, from medieval castles to futuristic cities.
01:25At the bottom of every entry was a small space that said, Write your destination and date here.
01:32Curious, Lena took a pen and hesitantly wrote, London, 1885.
01:39As soon as she finished, the words glowed, and a sudden gust of wind swirled around her.
01:45Before she could scream, everything went dark.
01:49When Lena opened her eyes, she found herself in a bustling street lined with horse-drawn carriages
01:54and gas lamps.
01:56Women in elegant dresses and men in top hats walked past her.
02:00It was real.
02:01She had traveled through time.
02:04But before she could explore, she noticed something troubling.
02:07Her hands were slowly fading.
02:10Panic surged through her.
02:11What was the price of this journey?
02:13A voice spoke behind her.
02:16First time traveler, are you?
02:18Lena turned to see an old woman in a dark cloak.
02:20I...
02:21I don't understand.
02:22What's happening to me?
02:25The woman sighed.
02:26The diary doesn't just take you to another time.
02:29It takes something from you in return.
02:31The longer you stay, the more you lose.
02:34You must return before you vanish completely.
02:37Terrified, Lena fumbled for the diary.
02:40She quickly flipped to a blank page and wrote,
02:43Home, present day.
02:45The words glowed again, and in a flash, she was back in her room.
02:49She looked at her hands, solid again.
02:52But when she checked the diary, a single page had turned to dust.
02:56Despite the warning, Lena couldn't resist.
02:58She carefully planned shorter trips to ancient Egypt, a pirate ship, even the year 3000.
03:05Each time she marveled at history and the future, but noticed that each journey cost her something.
03:11A memory.
03:12A small possession.
03:14A feeling she couldn't quite place.
03:16One day, she found an entry in the diary she hadn't written.
03:20To the one who finds this diary, beware.
03:24The longer you use it, the greater the price.
03:27One traveler was lost forever in time.
03:30Lena shivered.
03:31What if she too got trapped in a time that wasn't her own?
03:36Determined to learn the diary's origin, Lena wrote,
03:38The day the diary was created.
03:42She landed in a candle lit study where a man with silver hair was writing in the very same diary.
03:48Who are you?
03:48He asked, startled.
03:49I'm Lena.
03:50I found this diary, but it's dangerous.
03:53People disappear because of it.
03:55The man sighed.
03:56I created it to explore time, but did not realize the cost.
04:00Once I tried to return to my own time and lost everything.
04:04My family.
04:05My memories.
04:06I have been trapped here ever since.
04:08Lena gasped.
04:10Is there no way to stop it?
04:12The man looked at the diary sadly.
04:15There is only one way.
04:17The diary must be destroyed, but only its current owner can do it.
04:22Lena hesitated.
04:24Destroying it meant she would never travel through time again,
04:27but keeping it meant she risked being lost forever.
04:31She took a deep breath and whispered,
04:33Goodbye, adventures.
04:35Then, with all her strength, she tore the pages apart,
04:38a bright light engulfed the room, and the diary vanished into nothingness.
04:43Lena woke up in her room, the diary gone.
04:46Everything seemed normal.
04:48But when she looked in her notebook, she saw sketches of things she had seen in the past.
04:53Things she had never drawn before.
04:54Had it all been real, or just a dream?
04:58She smiled.
04:59Some adventures are meant to be remembered, not relived.
05:03And from that day on, she wrote her own adventures.
05:06Not in a magical diary, but in the pages of her heart.
