Elysian woke up extra early today, she bounced from out of her bed, grabbed her satchel, put on a coat and her beret and snuck outside to go back to that old maple tree house. Freya was waiting for her there. She wore a beautiful sun flower dress and when Elysian saw her she blushed and froze in place.
"Hello, El!", She spoke with her voice that was as soothing as a chirp.
"H-Hey, Frey!" , Elysian stuttered, still blushing to the extreme.
"I brought the art supplies! Just like you asked! we can finish that art project now!", She smiled blissfully, unpacking a small box that was full of water colors, paint pens and other art products.
The two would paint for hours, they end up finishing the art piece, which was of themselves, gazing into the glimmering stars that were made from glitter, which got everywhere. The two looked eat each other, flustered, before looking away briefly.
"I'm gonna have to go and wake my brothers from their nap. I'll see you soon, Ellie!", Freya blushed, running off into the nearby surrounding bramble.
Elysian enjoyed watching her run off, it was oddly...'calming' to her. Elysian put the finished painting under a small keep-safe under the roots of the old maple, before quickly rushing home before her mother found out she left. She climbed up the vines behind the house and quickly hopped into her bedroom and jumping into bed after throwing the satchel on the ground, pretending to sleep.
Moments later, her mother knocked on the door and spoke, "Elys, get up and wake your siblings. Now."
Elysian got up from her bed and exited her room through the purple door with star and nebula markings, Walking down that same spiral staircase, knocking loudly on each door and watching as each of her siblings exit their rooms to follow her to the kitchen. Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, they all rush out those colourful doors.
She got to the bottom of the staircase and walked to the kitchen with the long dining table. She would start up the stove that was hot to the touch and would quickly prepare some fairly fried eggs, almost perfect. One, two, three, one, her siblings came down the spiral staircase, each wearing nightgowns of certain colours. Each took a seat at their designated chairs at the dining table as Elysian slid each plate down it. Her mother stared at her in judgement for a moment before nodding, rolling her eyes.
Elysian smiled with excitement, running upstairs to grab her satchel, quickly running back down and rushing out the door. She arrived at the old maple tree house, sitting down and brushing leaves out the way from where she hid all the art supplies, she would grab a book and as she did so, a blue, glowing butterfly flew into her face.
She freaked out for a moment, before curiously following the flying insect deeper into the forest. As she followed it something followed with her thoughts, "Curiosity killed the cat ,curiosity killed the cat ,curiosity killed the cat" repeated in her head, but she ignored the sign. The butterfly lead her to an area where a bunch of butterflies were perched on trees together. They were littered with them. Elysian followed the original butterfly deeper through the bramble.
