LadyLuminada's Story Stash

Ash is NOT a Fertilizer

Characters:
Amber Rodriguez - LadyLuminada
Talus Agares - BraydenThompson3

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Talus Agares was never one to care for gardens. Training for battle mattered more to him than simple things like gardening.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) for him, his adoptive older sister, Amber Rodriguez, has put him in charge of tending to her little garden.

Something she would regret later and call back to any time he would even take so much as a single step into any garden she had.

Now, it's important to note that these two aren't normal. I mean, whenever are characters normal these days?

No, Amber was a goddess. Her parents were... Well... Let's just say they're extremely unappreciative. To be fair, Talus' father was no different despite being a demon.

Yes, a demon and a goddess seeing each other as family. Normally, you'd get the whole "Demons versus Gods" thing but, frankly, that ain't happening here.

Not yet at least

Anyway, back to the present.

Talus stood in the middle of the garden, a very very devious smile on his face. Things were about to get very smokey.

Fact of the matter is that Talus was a pyromancer and, as Amber was about to find out, fire and gardening do not mix. Unbeknownst to Amber was that Talus had the infamous black thumb, literally and figuratively. His hands were covered in soot and ash from training which wasn't all that surprising.

As soon as Talus reached out to trim the hedge, it wilted away. The entire hedge wilted away in a matter of seconds.

A normal person would feel guilty but, as it was, Talus enjoyed irritating his sister, so it's safe to assume what he did next.

By the time Amber had returned from who-knows-where, the entirety of her garden was ash and you can bet that she screamed.

The scream was so loud and so high in pitch that it broke several glasswares within range.

"TALUS!!! WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO MY GARDEN!?"

The demon didn't even flinch. He wasn't scared in the least.

"I made fertilizer"

Amber was fuming. She stamped her foot, making a dent in the place where she did so "ASH ISN'T FERTILIZER!"

The moment Talus chuckled, an energy ball flew past the side of his face. This was his signal to book it.

"GET BACK HERE, AGARES! YOU'RE GONNA REGRET EVERYTHING!!!"

With that, Amber chased her demon brother with energy balls.

As the centuries went by, Amber would recall this memory and ban Talus from any garden she tended to.

If only he would listen...
