The issue with living in the white Sand Dessert, is the dessert. There is no variation, barely any color, and really the only life you can occasionally see are cactuses and possibly trees near the outer edges, depending on the time of year. So when Cyclone gets word that there are flowers blooming near the Starfall Coast, he has to check it out, he just has to get past his sister Cirrus.
"Cyclone, seriously, Queen Tornado has ordered us to stay away from those flowers, they most likely aren't safe!" Cirrus says, she has been saying the same thing for the past few days.
"But what could be wrong? They are flowers! Don't act like you aren't curious as well, you could come with me!" He says. Cirrus stops, hesitating, her face looks like she's in pain, going from curiosity, to denial.
"Fine, but you better not get close to the flowers, we don't know what they could do" She says cautiously. "Thank you! Thank you" Cyclone lifts into the air, looking back towards the small part of Stratus Village he lives in.
"Okay, let's go" He says, flying off towards the Starfall Coast, Cirrus follows him.
~~~~~~~~~~
They arrive at the coast, the three moons rising into the sky as the sun slowly sets into the horizon. "Woah" Cyclone says as he sees the flowers. They are a rainbow of colors, from the darkest purple to the lightest reds.
"I've seen flowers before, but I never knew they could come in so many colors" Cirrus says in awe. "And look at the pollen" Cyclone points out, the pollen isn't the normal Yellow or orange, it looks almost metallic, a slight Reflective tint on it.
"Yah, definitely do not get close to them" Cirrus warns. But he doesn't care, he flies up to one of the bright red flowers and rips it out of the ground.
"Cyclone! What did I just say!" Cirrus yells. "Put that back!"
"No, it's just a flower" Cyclone says, rolling his eyes.
"Yes but that pollen is not normal" Cirrus stares at the flower with a look of disgust.
"It's fine, look" Cyclone moves the flower to his nose and inhales, the flower has a sweet smell, almost intoxicating. Cyclone's eyes go wide as the pollen enter his nose, he instantly drops the flower. "What?" He says out loud. Whispers start to go through his head, he can't hear most of it but he can make out some words.
'Smell... Find... Hunt... Feed... MORE...' Cyclone grabs his head, it hurts so much. 'YOU ARE NOT RIGHT!' The voices suddenly all yell in unison, loud and clear.
"Cyclone! What's wrong?!" He hears Cirrus ask, but she sounds far away. It doesn't take long till everything starts to go dark, shadows creeping in on the edges of his vision, and he falls on the ground, and everything goes dark.
