Prince Elliot is trapped inside a castle filled with a thousand locked doors. Each visitor brings him a new key, promising it will be the one to set him free. But no matter how many he tries, the doors never stay open for long—until he learns the power of keeping track, noticing patterns, and creating his own map through the maze.

This gentle fable is a metaphor for the medical mystery of chronic illness and the exhausting trial-and-error journey of finding what helps. It’s for anyone who has ever felt lost in a blur of treatments, tests, or advice—and needed the reminder that persistence, self-advocacy, and small wins matter.

– A magical story about navigating trial and error in chronic illness
– A metaphor for persistence, tracking, and noticing patterns
– A reminder that progress isn’t linear, but your efforts aren’t wasted
