~children of the tree ~ (cr:ob fan comic plot outline)

Untitled Part 3

 The crowds eyes are trained on the great tree, as he wishes fair well to his children. After much debate it was decided that the safety of the village would be left to the churro tribe warriors while the legends were off helping the saplings.

The three siblings were ready for their travels. Sea had to put her long watery hair up to avoid it causing problems. And was fussing about her dress getting dirty. No one pays attention to her complaints.

Mell pulls fi and wind off out of sight from the prying villages eyes and ears. He looks at his two son. His pride and joys, mell remembers when they were freshly baked their elemental spirits confined to a cookie body for the first time. Wind was always the quiet one of the three. And fi..they were such an energetic child at first but things change of course.

Mell places his hands on both of their shoulders and gives them a serious look. 

" my sons, I have things I need to give you..." Mell stops before pulling a simple wood headpiece from out behind him and handing it to wind. " wind... you are the most similar to me thus this will only work for you... you might understand any of this now.. but I promise you will soon. And when you do this will be of use"

Wind takes the headpiece it's carved beautifully and he wonders if Mell carved it himself. In the center is a simple mint green gem. Similar to the one already imbedded into his four head. Wind is pulled from his thoughts at the sound of a familiar drunken sounding voice.

" uh... and what bout me dad? I could be using this time to rest before we have to go." Fire complains dramatically throwing his hands up. Such a drama lord like always. 

Mell pulls fi down by the ear and whispers into their ear so quietly that even wind can't hear

" you my son are so much better than this.. and I know it. You are the oldest and strongest of your siblings. I expect you to protect them on your journey. You can be so much more than this if you just try.. I believe in you..I promise.. even if no one else does."

Wind doesn't know what his father said but clearly it was shocking judging by how fires pupils shrunk and how after being let go they stood up straighter than usual and also that lack of a sarcastic remark was concerning.

" what... did you say to him..?" Wind wondered aloud"  

" that's none of your concern wind. Now go find your sister and start on your way... remember I love you!" Mell shifts his gaze slightly to the still startled fire spirit " and believe in you.."
