DANDELION LOVES DANDELIONS. Ironic right? His mother had named him Dandelion because they were her favorite herbs; she used it for everything, to cure him from his sickness and to make wishes come true.

He lived in a small village with his mother and sister. He took care of them as they were poor like most people in the village, but whenever they came short of something mother Miranda always took care of them

Courtesy of mother Miranda, he had gotten his own small garden of Dandelions that he had. He was absolutely delighted to have something to give responsibility to that wasn't his mother and sister.

But yet there was still one thing that the 18 year old missed in his life - and that thing was love. Sure he was just 18 but yet he craved it.

Dandelion smiled as he picked up one of the herbs and inspected it, he closed his eyes before blowing on the plant and smiling in glee as the white and vulnerable petals flew away into the ice cold wind flying to their next location.

"Dandelion! Dinner's ready!" He heard his mother's soft voice yell at him. He quickly stood up but not before patting down his pants that had dirt on it from sitting on the ground.

"Coming mother!"

He walked into the small cabin kissing his sister on the cheek as she did her homework that she got from Luiza; the kind old lady that lived in front of the graveyard.

"Dinner smells amazing mother" He grinned. She softly smiled at her eldest and began serving the soup.

Now you're probably wondering what happened to Dandelion's father.

His father died when he was just 10 years old. The man died of an unknown illness that no Dandelion could cure.

Sure, he didn't have the best relationship with his father, but that didn't mean he hated the man. In fact, he looked up to his dad. Dandelion's father died because he had worked himself to death working hours just to feed his family.

If it came to that, Dandelion would sacrifice his whole life for his mother and sister. Just like his dad.

"I'm sorry that it's tomato soup again." His mother sighed sadly as she looked down at the food.

"It's ok mother! Let's pray." His sister said kindly, the 14 year old girl had no idea how bad it really was out there. She was allowed to go outside but not too long.

As the family of three prayed for their food in mother Miranda's name of course they dug into the soup Dandelion moaning in delight which got him a kick from his mom.
