In a distant land where Monsters, people with Superpowers, Guardian Spirits, Beasts in the form of Humans alike, Gods and Goddesses, Demons/Devils, and etc. roams the land. There is a mysterious town that everyone is trying to find because of how beautiful that place is. It was just a deserted area before but now, it is considered to be one of the Seven most beautiful places in the continent due to its beautiful scenery, a town full of flowers it is called, The Town of Flowers - Mhyka. Only a few were able to tell a tale, some believed it was just a myth or a legend. But some claims they have been there and it was truly out of this world, somehow out of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people trying to look for it, only one or two was able to find it and came back out to tell the tale.
A man and a Mystical Deer was flying through the sky and decided to descend because they both got mesmerized by the beauty of the town. When the man and the Mystical Deer landed, they saw a girl around the age of 15 near the town’s gate sitting on a flower field with a frown on her face. The duo decided to approach the girl and ask if everything was alright.
“Hello,” the man said with a smile.
The girl was spooked hearing someone say Hello out of nowhere and looked back really fast. She saw a man around his 20s and was really charming like a prince and a deer??? Well, next to him was a deer the size of a human, it had a pretty horn that looked like a wood with flowers and vines growing with it. It had such mystical eyes, it's as if it was created just to be beautiful and perfect. It looks like nature itself.
“Hello, I have never seen you here before. You must be a visitor. Well, we only had a few actually. People tend to get lost in this place, and we still don’t know why” the girl said with a cheerful smile.
The man just looked at the girl in the eyes and ignored what she said and asked, “I saw you looking really sad as if you were reminiscing about the past. I can lend you my ear if you want”
At first, the girl was very hesitant because even though the man in front of him looks harmful and yet charming, she never felt like her life was in any sort of danger. In fact, she felt secure being around this man, and the Mystical Deer with him looks like one of those guardian spirits who only approaches and follows people who are unique on their own, especially deer ones. They are very cautious, and it is very hard to get their trust. They will only get near you if they know you truly are not a bad person and so decided to open up.
“Well, you see. My grandmother planted all the flowers in this town and she is the only family I had left in this world. I mean, I still have my grandpa but he is too busy taking care of the town that he neglected his responsibility and we were never close. So, my grandma was the only family I have left. My real parents left me here with my grandma and grandpa to pursue their dreams together and do not want to just be stuck here like a normal person and now she died a few days ago.” the girl said as she was trying to hold her tears from falling down her eyes.
The man looked at the girl and was silent for a few seconds. The girl noticed the man looking straight into her eyes as if he was looking straight into her soul, as if no secrets can ever hide in those emerald eyes. It was so beautiful and a bit embarrassing because a really charming man was looking at her really intently.
“What if I tell you that I can grant you any wish you want and in exchange, you will give up one of your precious memories, what would you do? And what would that desire be?” The man said very calmly as he was looking straight into the girl’s eyes.
The girl didn’t know how to react to the man that suddenly came out of nowhere, the only thing she heard was his question that kept repeating inside her head about granting him a wish in exchange for a precious memory. The girl’s mind was in absolute chaos, she wanted to believe the man but she also knew there was no such thing, but the possibility of it being real, even just an ounce of chance, she would definitely grab it.
