The Beautiful Tragedy Underneath The Flower Field

Oneshot

Freya and Rae were visiting one of the famous tourist attractions in Japan, the Fukisaki Flower Park.

"Hey look at this" Freya pointed at the 190-year-old wisteria tree. "Woah it's so big! I wonder if there is some kind of fairytale behind this wonderful tree" Freya wondered while she stare at the stunning old tree.

"There is a story behind it" Rae spook up. "Really!? Will you please tell me?" Freya clasp her hands together while looking at her sister. "Of course" Rae smiled. "There was a myth that maybe this wisteria tree was older than its said age, maybe it is even a thousand years old"

Long ago, in the very land where the garden was built, a Goddess and her people reside in it, Akahana. This Goddess has a huge love of nature, especially flowers, she is the Goddess of nature afterall. Her lover, Hiro the God of seal and lock would come by and spend time with her.
That is, until a war was ignited, God to God. Some Gods fought for power and superiority while others was forced to fought for protection of their land.

A victim of this war was Akahana. The Goddess of Fire, Seika, wanted her wide land and needed her spirit to be more powerful. Akahana was then forced to fight for her people and land. This led to Akahana getting life-threatening injuries, she must say that her opponent is indeed a skillful fighter with a corrupted mind.

It was too late when Hiro arrived, holding his spear. He defeated Seika for Akahana, but then Akahana was loosely gripping the rope. Fear took over Hiro, he must find a way to help her.

So he did the only way to save her. He asked her to transfer all of her power in his spear. He hold onto her tightly while stabbing the spear to the ground.

As years passed, a beautiful wisteria tree grew where exactly the lovers lasted. The people of Akahana and Hiro together, made a beautiful, big, flower field around it.

That is the hidden tragedy behind the beauty of this place

As Rae finished the story, Freya started to wipe her tears, she was touched by the story. "I guess love and a simple seal could be so powerful... And beautiful but tragic at the same time..."
