In a small town lost in the middle of nowhere, lived a lonely mother dedicated to her only son. Since he was born, she had done everything possible to ensure his happiness and well-being, even sacrificing her own comfort and peace of mind.

The mother, whose name was Eris, dedicated herself to growing strange plants in a secret garden behind her house. These plants, known for their polysemy, had the ability to change form and function according to the needs of whoever used them. Eris used them wisely to cure illnesses and relieve pain, but always with caution, since their power was immense and dangerous if used incorrectly.

Their son, named Rylan, was a sensitive and dreamy child, but also fragile and sickly. Since he was little he had suffered from various illnesses that constantly threatened his life. Eris dedicated her time and energy to caring for and protecting him, no matter how much effort it took.

One night, while everyone was sleeping, a strange visitor came to town. It was a being from another dimension, a being of polysemy unknown to the inhabitants of the place. He had become separated from his own reality and was desperately searching for a place where he could become one with his true form again.

Sensing his presence, Eris knew that something terrible was about to happen. He got up from his bed and ran to the garden, where he found the strange being struggling to maintain its erratic and changing form. Without a second thought, Eris took one of her most powerful plants and offered it to the being, begging it to accept her help.
The being, grateful, took the plant and quickly consumed it. Instantly, his body began to stabilize and his form became more solid. Eris watched in wonder as the polysemy of the plant acted on the being, returning it to its true identity.

But the plant's polysemy was unpredictable, and in its attempt to restore the being, it also caused a change in itself. The plant, which was previously healing, now had poisonous properties that threatened to take Eris's life.

Desperate, Eris realized that there was only one way to save herself: she must sacrifice her own life to save her son's. Without hesitation, he took Rylan in his arms and carried him to the garden, where he placed him carefully on the ground.

With tears in her eyes, Eris said goodbye to her beloved son and took the poisonous plant in her hands. Without hesitation, he consumed it and dropped to the ground, feeling his body slowly fading away.

Rylan woke up the next day, surrounded by strange plants and deathly silence. When looking for his mother, he only found her inert body and a strange feeling of peace in the air.

From that day on, the townspeople remembered Eris as the mother who gave everything for her son, even sacrificing her own life for him. And the polysemy of plants continued to grow and change, reminding them that power can be both a blessing and a curse.
